- Mine fires are becoming a serious issue as the intensity of mining increases, especially in deep mines. Loose coal gob has a hidden ignition location and a high possibility of spontaneous combustion, which makes fire prevention difficult. Therefore, based on the theory of gas seepage and the characteristics of loose coal, a model of air leakage and spontaneous combustion in gob is established in this paper. Using working face #10414 in the Yangliu coal mine as an example, the relationship between the three spontaneous coal combustion (CSC) zones and the three stress zones is analyzed and verified by combining a FLAC3D simulation with field monitoring. In addition, the influence of advancing speed on the CSC is discussed, and suggestions for fire prevention are presented. The results show that the variation in the calorific value of the CSC with increasing degree of looseness of the residual coal in the gob forms an arch‐shape. There is a one‐to‐one relationship between the distribution of the three stress zones and the three CSC zones. In addition, as the advancing speed increases, the contact time between the loose coal body and the air decreases and the possibility of CSC decreases. This study provides a scientific basis for fire prevention and control in mines.

- Field monitoring carried out in a deep tunnel of the Dingji coal mine in China confirmed the zonal disintegration phenomenon by using the borehole TV. Based on field monitoring, an analogical model test was conducted to research the fracture shape and forming conditions of the rock mass in the Dingji mine. To perform the model test, an analogical material and optical sensor were developed independently. Through the test, the occurrence of zonal disintegration was confirmed and the forming process was monitored. The fracture pattern of zonal disintegration was determined, and the radii of the fractured zones were found to fulfil the relationship of geometric progression. The displacement laws of surrounding rocks during zonal disintegration were obtained and found to be non-monotonic. The test results are in agreement with the field-monitoring results. Through a theory analysis based on fracture mechanics, the mechanism of zonal disintegration was revealed. The fracture zones occur as circles concentric to the cavern periphery, which is the “false face”. Each fracture zone ruptures at the elastic–plastic boundary of surrounding rocks and then coalesces into a circle. The geometric progression ratio was determined; it is related to the mechanical parameters and ground stress of the surrounding rocks and calculated as follows: And the mechanism of the non-monotonic displacement law is revealed; the continuous formation of the “false face” causes the geostress redistribution and crack opening.

- In the present work, C@TiO2 core-shell adsorbents were successfully prepared and the adsorption capacities for rhodamine B (RB) were investigated at different conditions. The adsorbents were prepared by first in-situ hydrolysis and deposition of TBOT on the surface of ZIF-8 nanoparticles to obtain ZIF-8@titania gel, and then carbonization. XRD, SEM, TEM, and N2 adsorption-desorption techniques were employed to characterize the adsorbents. The results showed that the adsorbents were comprised of TiO2 shell and carbon core. Large surface area and hierarchical pores, which were different from ZIF-8 derived porous carbon, were generated due to the less contraction of carbon during carbonization when robust TiO2 shell covered on the surface. The highest adsorption capacity for RB was 298 mg/g on C@TiO2. Apart from the hierarchical pores and large surface area, the low surface charge of C@TiO2 core-shell adsorbents was also observed, which also contributed to the high adsorption capacity for cationic dyes. The reuse experiments showed that the adsorbents maintained the high adsorption capacity after 5 cycles. The high stability is crucial for practical application.

- In the present work, novel porous C@C composite adsorbents were prepared and applied for the adsorption of methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B (RB). The adsorbents were prepared by carbonizing resorcinol–formaldehyde (RF) resins-coated ZIF-8 composites that obtained using an in-situ deposition method. The effect of RF/ZIF-8 ratio and carbonization temperature on the particle size, specific surface area and pore size was investigated. High adsorption capacity resulted from the high surface area of 1842 m2/g and a sufficient pore size of 4.4 nm. The effect of temperature, initial dyes concentration and pH on the adsorption capacity was investigated to optimize the adsorption conditions, and maximum adsorption capacity of 681 and 462 mg/g was observed for MB and RB, respectively. Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order adsorption kinetics model can be used to well describe the obtained adsorption isotherms. The estimated saturated adsorption capacity for MB and RB was 806 and 476 mg/g, respectively. The used C@C-1000 could be regenerated in methanol solution, and after 5 cycles, the adsorption capacity was maintained above 92% of the maximum.

Distance Assisted Information Dissemination with Broadcast Suppression for ICN-based VANET
- 2016
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Information-centric networking (ICN) is being applied to the vehicular networks by more and more researchers on account of its lightweight and connectionless networking paradigm and in-network caching characteristics, making it suitable for the dynamic environments of vehicular networks. However, wireless transmission of interest packets to find content in the network may lead to broadcast storms that can affect the performance of information dissemination severely. This paper proposes a distance assisted data dissemination method with broadcast storm suppressing mechanism (DASB) for supporting rapid and efficient information dissemination in ICN-based vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). Geo-position data of vehicles are used to accelerate packet forwarding, and vehicular nodes in certain areas are restricted to forward packets in order to suppress the broadcast storm. Simulation results show that the proposed method can greatly reduce the total number of packets transmitted in the network, and the successful information delivery ratio and information delivery time can also be improved.

- The rational design of elemental incorporation in colloidal eco-friendly core/shell quantum dots (QDs) holds the potential to synergistically tailor their electronic band structure and carrier kinetics for applications in forthcoming “green” and high-efficiency solar energy conversion. Herein, we have conducted simultaneous Cu incorporation in both the core and shell regions of environment-benign AgInSe (AISe)/ZnSe core/shell QDs to realize high-efficiency solar-driven photoelectrochemical (PEC) hydrogen evolution. It is verified that Cu incorporation in AISe core enables an upward shift in the position of the band edge relative to the ZnSe shell, which promoted the electron delocalization and extended the lifetime of exciton. Simultaneously, Cu incorporation in the ZnSe shell further results in the trapping of photoinduced holes from AISe core, leading to a decelerated recombination of carriers. The prepared Cu-AISe/ZnSe:Cu QDs with optimized optoelectronic properties have been successfully employed to fabricate QDs-PEC devices, delivering a maximum photocurrent density of 9.1 mA cm−2 under standard AM 1.5 G illumination (100 mW cm−2). Our findings indicate that synchronous elemental incorporation in eco-friendly core/shell QDs is a promising strategy to achieve future high-performance solar-to-hydrogen conversion systems.

- Due to the high exothermic characteristic of NiAl during the reaction synthesis process from Ni–Al elemental powders, the NiAl intermetallic melts frequently, and the specimens are difficult to maintain their original shape, which leads to the inhomogeneity of the pore size and morphology. To tackle this problem, porous NiAl intermetallic monolith with controllable shape and pore structure was prepared through thermal explosion (TE) using NaCl as space holder. The TE behavior was recorded, and the effect of the volume fraction of NaCl on the phase composition, macroscopic feature, pore morphology and open porosity were investigated. The results showed that NiAl was the main phase in the products, and the specimen was free from cracking or deforming when NaCl content reached 30 vol%. The interconnected channel and pore windows were formed, and the open porosity was improved greatly to 63% by adding 50 vol% NaCl. The leachable space holder route provides a simple way to control the shape, pore structure and open porosity of the synthesized porous NiAl intermetallic.
