Magnetic and microwave properties of (Ni,Co)Fe2O4-ferroelectric and (La,Ca,Sr)MnO3-ferroelectric multilayer structures

Structural, magnetic and ferromagnetic resonance characterization studies have been performed on lay-ered ferromagnetic-ferroelectric oxides that show strong magnetoelectric coupling. The samples contained thick films of ferrites or substituted lanthanum manganites for the ferromagnetic phase and lead zirconate titanate for the ferroelectric phase, and were sintered high temperatures. Results indicate defect free ferrites, but deterioration of manganite parameters due to diffusion at the interface and accounts for poor magnetoelectric coupling in manganite-PZT samples

Shrinkage of frame polymer concretes in road construction

It is known that with the same raw material composition, it is possible to obtain different structures of composite materials. So, for example, polymer concretes can be made using traditional technology and the method of phase-by-phase forming. At the same time, frame technology reduces material consumption without loss of strength properties and increases durability. Polymer composite materials of phase-forming by combining properties viscoelastic binder and rigid matrix. It has highly damping performance. The article considers the possibility of using the frame structure polymer composite material in road construction. The composition is also considered, the advantages are determined and a comparison with traditional materials is made. The shrinkage stresses of polymer concrete that occur during the polycondensation reaction of furan resin are quite large and can exceed the permissible ones, which leads to a violation of the monolithic nature of the structure due to the appearance of micro- and macrocracks. In this work, the kinetics of shrinkage within 28 days was studied. The composition of the frame polymer composite material includes the following components: furfural acetone monomer (FAM resin), benzosulfonic acid, granite crushed stone, andesite flour, quartz sand. Theshrinkage of phase-formed polymer concrete was measured on samples hardening under normal temperature-humidity conditions. The generally accepted technique was used, shrinkage deformations were installed along the axis of the sample on two opposite faces with a clock-type indicator with a division price of 0.001 mm. Also in the work is a diagram of the device for determining the deformations of the shrinkage of samples and the results of the study are given. Experimentally established the intensity of shrinkage, which manifests itself in the first three days of curing, in the future its change is insignificant and by the seventh day it fades. According to the test results, it was established that the linear shrinkage of frame polymer concretes is three times less than the shrinkage of polymer concretes with a conventional structure

Catalytic Oxidation of Volatile Organic Compounds in Industrial Off-Gases

Processes and apparatuses for catalytic oxidation of VOCs in industrial off-gases are described, including steady state and unsteady state processes, a combined adsorption-catalytic process and an advanced method of ozone induced oxidation for low concentrated exhausts. On the basis of research and development works a series of catalytic incinerators, operating in steady state and unsteady state mode, of various capacity were designed, constructed and tested in the purification of ventilation air and off-gases from VOCs. The principles of operation of different types of catalytic incinerators and possible areas of application are discussed. For VOC concentrations 150-1000 mg/m3 unsteady state catalytic incinerators of KART type should be used, for concentrations 1000-3000 mg/m3 steady state KROT apparatuses are recommended, and for concentrations over 3000 mg/m3 up to 7000 mg/m3 installations TKM-250. It is shown that for the purification of low concentrated gases with the content of organic vapors below 150 mg/m3 adsorptioncatalytic method or catalytic oxidation with ozone in the installation OKA-3000 are most effective. Main kinetic dependencies of the ozone induced oxidation of toluene and acetone over copper oxide catalyst are given and discussed. It is shown that the efficiency of this method of VOCs removal is based on low operation temperature 313-343 K, by contrast to conventional catalytic incineration by air requiring preliminary heating of the gases to 523-573 K. A special consideration is given to adsorptive damping as an efficient method for leveling the VOCs concentrations in the real industrial exhausts directed to the catalytic treatment. The use of adsorptive dampers filled with carbon allows elimination of large deviations of pollutant concentrations in the gas entering the catalyst bed, thus increasing the VOCs removal efficiency from average values. For calculations of adsorptive dampers, an equation describing the profiles of VOC concentrations in gas phase along the length of the adsorbate bed in the damper was derived
