Designing a Monitoring System to Observe the Innovative Single-Wire and Wireless Energy Transmitting Systems in Explosive Areas of Underground Mines

Suspended monorails are a common mode of transportation for materials and personnel in underground mines. The goal of the EU-funded project “Innovative High Efficiency Power System for Machines and Devices, Increasing the Level of Work Safety in Underground Mining Excavations (HEETII)” is to introduce a single-wire energy transmission system combined with a capacitive-coupling-based wireless transmission system to power the suspended tractor, along with a monitoring system that will monitor the energy network and additional environmental parameters of the mine. Additionally, the monitoring system acts as the wireless communication backbone, allowing for data transmission to surface headquarters, where the data are processed and logged in a central database. This enables operators to detect and take preemptive measures to prevent potential hazards in the mine, improving the overall efficiency of the energy transmission system. This paper describes the additional considerations required for electrical systems in underground mines with potentially explosive atmospheres, as well as the design of the energy transmission system and the monitoring system

Comparative studies of nanosheet-based supercapacitors: A review of advances in electrodes materials

In the construction of supercapacitors, various nanocomposites have been utilized to fabricate electrodes. Nanocomposite electrodes based on two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have recently received much attention due to their unique propertices. The recent development of supercapacitors was mainly summarized regarding nanosheet electrodes. The types of supercapacitors were basically compared on the basis of electrode materials, cyclic stability, specific capacitance, power, and energy densities for 2D nanomaterial electrodes as well. This Review discusses novel findings of the critical nanosheet-based supercapacitors including MXenes, graphene, and carbon nanomaterials electrodes. Comparison between the results of MXene, graphene, and carbon nanomaterials-based supercapacitors showed that the specific capacitance almost is less than 3000 F g−1 and capacitance retention is in the range of 70–100 %. This study also provides an opportunity for future researchers in the construction of energy storage devices to recognize novel breakthroughs in the fabrication of supercapacitor electrodes relevant to nanosheets

Severe plastic deformation: Nanostructured materials, metal-based and polymer-based nanocomposites: A review

Significant deformation of the metal structure can be achieved without breaking or cracking the metal. There are several methods for deformation of metal plastics. The most important of these methods are angular channel pressing process, high-pressure torsion, multidirectional forging process, extrusion-cyclic compression process, cumulative climbing connection process, consecutive concreting and smoothing method, high-pressure pipe torsion. The nanocomposite is a multiphase material which the size of one of its phases is less than 100 nm in at least one dimension. Due to some unique properties, metal-based nanocomposites are widely used in engineering applications such as the automotive and aerospace industries. Polymer-based nanocomposites are two-phase systems with polymer-based and reinforcing phases (usually ceramic). These materials have a simpler synthesis process than metal-based nanocomposites and are used in a variety of applications such as the aerospace industry, gas pipelines, and sensors. Severe plastic deformation (SPD) is known to be the best method for producing bulk ultrafine grained and nanostructured materials with excellent properties. Different Severe plastic deformation methods were developed that are suitable for sheet and bulk solid materials. During the past decade, efforts have been made to create effective Severe plastic deformation processes suitable for producing cylindrical tubes. In this paper, we review Severe plastic deformation processes intended to nanostructured tubes, and their effects on material properties and severe plastic deformation is briefly introduced and its common methods for bulk materials, sheets, and pipes, as well as metal background nanocomposites, are concisely introduced and their microstructural and mechanical properties are discussed. The paper will focus on introduction of the tube Severe plastic deformation processes, and then comparison of them based on their advantages and disadvantages from the viewpoints of processing and properties

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) recycling: A review

It is difficult to reuse wastes from polymers due to the mismatch between the amount of contaminants and the secondary polymers and the quality of the feed. This type of operation is much more expensive and cost-effective than the production of polymer raw materials from the latest materials. However, the reuse of recyclable polymers is beneficial if used extensively in the production of various concrete products and wood-polymer boards. This is done only if cleaning and sorting are not particularly important for the production of polymer products. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a widely used polymer in various industries due to its excellent physical and chemical properties. Besides, the increasing use of PET products has led to a global crisis in waste management, as improper disposal of products has caused significant environmental damage. PET is a major source of accumulated waste in landfills, and to address this issue, recycling methods have evolved. In this regard, the present review examines various techniques involved in the recycling of PET. Conventional recycling methods and the influence of diverse depolymerization reaction variables were discussed, and the upsides and downsides of each technique were considered. The review summarizes major advances in recycling technologies for plastic waste, focusing on the bio-recycling of PET, aiming for sustainable, economical solutions in the circular economy
