WO3 Loaded High-Temperature Exhaust Denitration Catalyst

denitration catalystThe high-temperature combustion exhaust from thermal power stations or gas turbine contains nitrogen oxides, nitrogen oxides need to be removed for achieving the clean emissions. Currently, the common used is the medium-temperature denitration catalyst, if the temperature is higher than 450°C, ammonia itself as a reducing agent will carry out the oxidation reaction. Ammonia is effective for the reduction of nitrogen oxides, but as the temperature rising, the denitration performance of ammonia will reduce in the presence of a catalyst.
 
A kind of denitration catalyst is taking tungsten trioxide as the active ingredient, titanium and zirconium composite oxide as an inorganic refractory oxide carrier which can suppress the decreasing of specific surface area, and thus load the particular active metal, so that it can maintain the denitration performance at above 500°C for a long time. It is prepared as follows:
 
1. Sinter either of the silica or zirconium compound and titanium oxide at about 500°C to obtain titanium-zirconium or titanium-silicon composite oxide carrier;
2. Load tungsten trioxide on the generated composite oxide carrier, then sintered under the same level or 50°C higher than the using temperature (for example, 650°C) to get the tungsten trioxide denitration catalyst powder;
3. Pulverize the catalyst powder into smaller particles, sieved, and then pressed to molding (honeycomb type, flat type, etc.) to give the tungsten trioxide loaded high-temperature exhaust denitration catalyst.
 
The high temperature exhaust denitration catalyst sets the molecule layers of tungsten trioxide less than 5 layers, which plays the role of keeping the appropriate binding force between tungsten trioxide and carrier in the case of high temperature, thus possible to maintain high denitration activity while suppress the volatilization.

Tungsten Alloy Container For Radioactive Liquid Waste

Tungsten Alloy Container For Radioactive Liquid WasteWith the development of atomic energy industry and the wide application of various radioisotopes, radioactive waste is gradually increasing. Radioactive waste is waste that contains radioactive material. It is usually a by-product of nuclear power generation and other applications of nuclear fission or nuclear technology, such as research and medicine. According to the physical properties of radioactive waste, it can be divided into radioactive gas waste, radioactive liquid waste and radioactive solid waste. Radioactive liquid waste means radioactive waste produced during the process of operation and treatment for radioactive materials, the radioactivity of which not only will pollute the environment, affect the growth of plants and animals, and result in water deterioration, but also can be hazardous to human health, and even has adverse effects on the offspring.

Radioactive liquid waste which has a harmful effect on human health can produce radiation to damage human tissue and organs. Radioactive liquid waste not only can cause external radiation damage outside the human body, but also can enter the body by eating, breathing and other ways to cause internal irradiation. Therefore, the cases of human or animals breathe the radioactive material released in the atmosphere by radioactive liquid waste or accidentally ingest radioactive waste will cause radiation sickness. According to reports, 400rad doses of radiation exposure can lead to the mortality rate of 50%; 650rad doses of radiation exposure can lead to the mortality rate of 100%. Although the mortality rate drop down to zero in the doses of radiation exposure below 150rad, but it can also cause long-term irradiation effects, including causing leukemia, bone cancer, lung cancer, thyroid cancer and other cancers, as well as causing varying degrees of shortened life expectancy, and these symptoms may take 20 years to show it. In addition, radiation can lead to dizziness, hair loss, erythema, decreased immunity, fatigue, weakness and other symptoms. Therefore, you can use tungsten alloy container for radioactive liquid waste to storage and treat radioactive liquid waste.

Tungsten alloy container is the best choice for radioactive liquid waste. Compared with the lead container, high-density tungsten alloy container for radioactive waste can provide the same radiation absorption rate, while using less material than the lead container. And tungsten alloy container for radioactive liquid waste has very high melting point so that can be used in high temperature environment while lead cannot.

Drinking Influence on Darts Sport

Initially the darts sport is a game from the bar, people was drinking and throwing darts for a lively atmosphere and pastime. Today, darts sport has become a professional and even international competition, and the most popular and professional darts is mainly tungsten darts, for its high-quality and good wear resistant and corrosion resistant. With the continued growth in the number of darts enthusiasts and unique benefits of darts sport, darts becomes one of the Olympic Games just can be waiting for.
 
Perhaps there are still some people have this knowledge: darts as a sport from the bar, is not suitable for conducting after drinking. That is why? From a medical perspective, the alcohol will make people become excited in a short time, show a more dynamic state. There is a saying goes that every coin has two sites, excessive alcohol will reduce human coordination, stability and athleticism. But in some aspects, if someone has little game experience and is poorly trained, appropriately drinking will give him "embolden" effect, to enhance his ability or performance in the competition. But this does not mean that to encourage participants to drink before darts competition, because it could easily lead to some security issues after drinking. Overall, drinking on darts sport is more harm than good, thus according to China's "China Darts Competition Rules", any entrant shall not smoke and drink before darts competition. If you want to become an excellent and professional darts hand, just start with quitting smoking and drinking.

Tungsten Darts Structures

The rapid spread of darts around the world makes darts manufacturers are constantly looking for better materials to make better darts to meet the more stringent requirements of darts hands. Tungsten darts are the most popular darts that to be used in many large and professional darts competition. Tungsten darts is made of tungsten alloy, thus have unique high-density, corrosion resistance and wear resistance, which can be better maintained stability in the darts competition, giving players a perfect performance. Tungsten darts its structure consists of four parts, namely dart tip or point, dart barrel, dart shaft and dart flight.
 
Dart Tip:
Dart tip also can be called dart point, tungsten darts tip is usually divided into movable dart tip and immovable dart tip. The tungsten darts that made of steel tip called tungsten steel tip darts but the tungsten darts that made of nylon are usually called tungsten soft darts.
 
Dart Barrel:
Dart barrel is the "body" of the second part of tungsten darts; it can be made of many materials, such as tungsten copper, brass, tungsten alloys and so on. The part that we hold when casting darts is the dart barrel. The barrel of tungsten darts is naturally made of tungsten alloy for connecting the dart tip and dart shaft.
 
Dart Shaft:
Tungsten dart shaft is similar to dart barrel, both have different materials and different specifications. Tungsten dart shaft can be longer or shorter, which is depending on the personal preference of players. Tungsten dart shaft is made of tungsten alloy, which can be called as tungsten dart billet. Due to the high density of tungsten alloy, tungsten darts can achieve the same feel and weight in the case of a very small volume.
 
Dart Flight:
Dart flight is the tail of tungsten darts which can also be referred to as dart feathers. Its manufacturing materials can be plastic materials or nylon; it can also be a feather. Using dart flight can better guide tungsten darts, and make it be more precise when casting. The dart fight of tungsten darts is easily damaged during usage, and therefore we should pay attention to replace it regularly.

Tantalum Doped Tungsten Bronze UV-Vis Spectroscopy

The composition content and structure of the tungsten bronze can be analyzed and measured by UV-visible spectrum. Figure 1 is the UV diffuse reflectance spectra of TaxWO3 sample, the figure shows the main absorption peak of TaxWO3 crystals is between 450 ~ 500nm, with significant ultraviolet light absorption, a clear absorption edge, the absorption band edge is determined to inflection point of the absorption band edge. With the increase of the amount of tantalum doping, there is red shift at the absorption peak position, the absorption intensity increased, probably because the tungsten oxide crystal structure introduced low tantalum ions and left oxygen vacancies within the material, and with tantalum doping increasing, the ratio of oxygen vacancies increased, resulting in different light absorbing characteristics of the tantalum doped tungsten oxide.
 
Different values of the absorption edge because tungsten oxide prepared with different amount of tantalum doped, according to the relational expression (1) of the light absorption threshold λg of a semiconductor and bandgap energy Eg, the tantalum doped tungsten oxide bandgap can be calculated. Figure 2 shows changing relationship between the doped tantalum tungsten oxide bandgap and the amount of the doping of tantalum. The figure shows that with the increasing of the amount of tantalum doping, bandgap decreases from undoped tungsten oxide band gap of 3.17keV gradually to 2.74keV. There is red shift at TaxWO3 absorption wavelength mainly due to Ta ion doping effect, since the Ta ions formed a new impurity level between the conduction band and valence band, which reduced the electron transition energy gap.

Tungsten Copper Liner Explosive Sintering (2/2)

Tungsten copper liner has better properties than the pure copper liner and the properties of the liner mainly depends on W-Cu composite powder preparing and sintering process. Conventional process is mechanical alloying (MA), which has high-energy ball milling with W powder and Cu powder and occur crushing – cold welding – crushing process with solid state reaction, so a uniform distribution of tungsten copper powder can be obtained. However, tungsten powder has higher hardness and difficult to be formed, which can easily be formed gravity segregation and cause the uneven distribution of liner density in a hydraulic powder metallurgy process. Currently, relevant researchers further improve the process by grain refinement.

Explosive powder sintering technology is known as shock-wave consolidation or shock-wave compaction, which uses shock-wave or detonation adiabatic compression temperature instant powder produced by high pressure powder densification and sintering. Since the explosive sintering is a transient process, the composite interface is almost no diffusion occurs. So it not only can overcome the segregation of tungsten copper, but also the grains are too late to grow up because of the transient process, the grain is fine and the structure is uniform. The experiments show that in the process of explosive sintering, oxide powder will affect the density and microstructure of compacted material blank, which requires the powder must be fully restored.

In order to ensure that the material has a good macro-structure, the need for the process parameters have higher requirements, including the packing density of the powder, the powder ratio (mass of explosive powder and compaction ratio) of explosives and explosive rate. If the powder packing density is small, medium more loose, Mach angle decreases, explosive compaction process can easily produce Mach hole; if explosive rate is too high will form Mach reflection in the central region of the blank compaction, ejection material melts, cracks and holes. Overall, tungsten copper liner explosive sintering is beneficial for removing the component segregation and area density difference, which can remarkably improve the structure, penetration depth and armor penetration.

Tungsten Copper Liner Explosive Sintering (1/2)

In today's highly modernized military industry, a growing number of armored tanks, armored vehicle equipped with reactive armor has a very high anti-missile capabilities, which also brings the corresponding anti-armor weapons a more serious challenge. The combination of shaped charge and precision guidance is the most effective anti-armor weapon, and the liner is key component of the shaped charge and carrier of shaped, whose performance will directly affect the density, the speed, the length of continuous jet, penetration depth and armor performance. Theoretically, it requires tungsten copper liner has higher density, excellent ductility, which can ensure that the jet can be stretched without fracture before the penetration. Conventional powder liner materials include copper, steel, tantalum, tin and so on, but due to the single material can not meet the various properties requirements today, the composite liner appears.

Compared with liner with single material, composite liner combines different properties of metals or alloys and designs according to the liner to show the advantages of them, which has higher energy efficiency, higher energy conversion efficiency, more reasonable absorption mechanism and excellent armor performance and it is a new trend of liner development. Multi-phase composite liner commonly used are W-Cu, Ta-Cu, Re-Cu system, and wherein the tungsten copper W-Cu overall performance of the most prominent performance-related Liner are the best matches. Tungsten copper alloy is Cu difference between two kinds of physical and chemical properties of W and face-centered cubic structure of the body-centered cubic structure is neither large nor the formation of pseudo alloy intermetallic compounds. It not only has high hardness, high strength, high density, low thermal expansion coefficient and excellent abrasion resistance of W and also has plasticity and excellent electrical and thermal conductivity of Cu. Tungsten jet head with a higher speed, when penetrating armor can shorten the time through, thereby facilitating against reactive armor. But it is brittle and the powder adhesion is poor, the added copper powder with good ductility can contribute to the shaping process and improve the jet stability, avoid breaking.
