INCOMING MATERIALS [8 records]

Record 1 2017-10-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Jib-Type Hoisting Apparatus
CONT

Non-self-propelled portable floor cranes are in general use in machine shops, plant assembly departments, outdoor yard service, and warehouses, at transportation terminals, and in garages. They are frequently employed in shipping and receiving departments for unloading incoming raw materials, large and heavy cases, lumber, etc., and loading outgoing shipments. They are likewise employed to supplement overhead traveling cranes and other power-operated equipment. In many small manufacturing plants, they are-aside from hoists and other local service equipment-the only kinds of materials handling equipment in use.

CONT

The cantilever-jib or gooseneck type of crane is the commonest and most convenient type of portable floor crane, and is used in many shops to supplement an overhead monorail system or a traveling crane in reaching locations that cannot be served by the regular overhead equipment. It is also used in railroad freight houses and terminals where overhead systems are not available.

CONT

Collecting odour samples released by static piles of materials(e. g., incoming feedstock, composting windrows, and product stockpiles) as a result of ambient air sweeping across their surface is challenging. Normally, a flux chamber is used in this situation in accordance with United Stated Environmental Protection Agency sampling protocols.

  • Instruments scientifiques

CONT

La collecte d'échantillons d'odeur émis par des piles statiques de matières (p. ex., des matières premières entrantes, des andains de compost et des piles entreposées de produits) au moyen d'un balayage de l'air ambiant à leur surface est difficile. En général, on utilise une chambre de flux dans cette situation conformément aux protocoles d'échantillonnage de l'Environmental Protection Agency des États-Unis.

  • Mineralogy
CONT

X-ray powder diffraction is used in the identification of crystalline phases in unknown samples, finding the lattice parameter and other lattice related information, quantitative determination of phases in multiphase samples, finding the orientation in single crystals, and stereographic projections. The samples must be crystalline solids such as metals, ceramics, rocks etc. These samples are usually about 1 mg in size. If the sample fits in the sample holder then there is no preparation necessary otherwise the sample may have to be crushed in order to fit. The sample takes less than one hour to be analyzed for qualitative analysis in major phases and up to 16 hours for trace phases. The quantitative analysis can take several minutes to several hours after set up. There are several detectors used in XRPD varying from films to cameras to diffractometers.

CONT

Powder X-Ray Diffraction. Powders of crystalline materials diffract X-Rays. A beam of X-rays passing through a sample of randomly-oriented micro-crystals produces a pattern of rings on a distant screen. Powder X-Ray diffraction provides less information than single-crystal diffraction, however, it is much simpler and faster. Powder X-Ray diffraction is useful for confirming the identity of a solid material and determining crystallinity and phase purity. Modern powder X-Ray diffractometers consist of an X-Ray source, a movable sample platform, an X-Ray detector, and associated computer-controlled electronics. The sample is either packed into a shallow cup-shaped holder or deposited as a slurry onto a quartz substrate, and the sample holder spins slowly during the experiment to reduce sample heating. The X-Ray source is usually the same as used in single-crystal diffractometers, Mo or Cu. The X-Ray beam is fixed and the sample platform rotates with respect to the beam by an angle theta. The detector rotates at twice the rate of the sample and is at an angle of 2 theta with respect to the incoming X-Ray beam.

CONT

Fine particles such as clays must be separated from larger particles and measured separately if they are to be detected properly. To reduce errors associated with preferred orientation of minerals, samples are most commonly ground to a powder before analysis, a technique known as powder X-ray diffraction.

CONT

X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) is a direct method for qualitative and quantitative characterization of fine-grained materials such as clinker and cement, and may also be used for analysis of raw materials. Each phase produces a unique diffraction pattern independent of others, with the intensity of each pattern proportional to that phases concentration in a mixture.

Subject field(s)
  • Water Treatment (Water Supply)
CONT

Contact Stabilization. Microorganisms consume organics in the contact tank. Raw wastewater flows into the contact tank where it is aerated and mixed with bacteria. Soluble materials pass through bacterial cell walls, while insoluble materials stick to the outside. Solids settle out later and are wasted from the system or returned to a stabilization tank. Microbes digest organics in the stabilization tank, and are then recycled back to the contact tank, because they need more food. Detention time is minimized, so the size of the contact tank can be smaller. Volume requirements for the stabilization tank are also smaller because the basin receives only concentrated return sludge, there is no incoming raw wastewater. Often no primary clarifier before the contact tank due to the rapid uptake of soluble and insoluble food.

  • contact-stabilization

The Flash Pyrolysis process involves the rapid heating of finely shredded organic materials in the absence of air using a proprietary heat exchange system. The incoming feed is heated by contact with recycled char and pyrolysed to form liquids, gas, and char.

CONT

Flash pyrolysis is a rapid heating rate process (greater than 2°C/s) occurring at moderate temperatures (typically 400-600°C) whose liquid tar/oil products are maximized at the expense of char and gas. Vapour residence times are normally less than 2s.

OBS

The term may well be a trademark of the Occidental Research Corporation.
