Material charge

HBI has been successfully melted in cupolas (hot or cold blast), induction furnaces (coreless or channel), and electric arc furnaces. It can be a valuable charge material for ductile and malleable irons as well as steel. It is of particular value in making ductile iron castings because of its very low residual element content. 

Most all the serious emptions of manganese furnaces can be traced to a set of conditions that cause bridging or hang-up of the charge materials so that the normal downward movement through the furnace is dismpted or retarded. As electrical energy continues to be suppHed to the furnace with Httie... 

The plutonium extracted by the Purex process usually has been in the form of a concentrated nitrate solution or symp, which must be converted to anhydrous PuF [13842-83-6] or PuF, which are charge materials for metal production. The nitrate solution is sufficientiy pure for the processing to be conducted in gloveboxes without P- or y-shielding (130). The Pu is first precipitated as plutonium(IV) peroxide [12412-68-9], plutonium(Ill) oxalate [56609-10-0], plutonium(IV) oxalate [13278-81-4], or plutonium(Ill) fluoride. These precipitates are converted to anhydrous PuF or PuF. The precipitation process used depends on numerous factors, eg, derived purity of product, safety considerations, ease of recovering wastes, and required process equipment. The peroxide precipitation yields the purest product and generally is the preferred route (131). The peroxide precipitate is converted to PuF by HF—O2 gas or to PuF by HF—H2 gas (31,132). 

The lime is melted in the reaction 2one close to the electrode tip. The reaction 2ones are limited close to the area near the electrodes. Charge material outside this area does not react, but serves as a cmcible liner.

The key to safe operation is to provide an adequate means of charge dissipation from charged materi s to ground. This requires mobility of charges in or on the charged materialp/ii.s electrical continuity from the material to ground. 

PBDs may occur on plastic surfaces with no metal substrate, for example the wall of a plastic pipe conveying charged material, in this case the double layer forms between the inner charged wall of the pipe and a countercharge which accumulates on the outer wall via conduction or via corona discharge. in the latter case both layers of charge reside on nonconductive sur-... 

Electric field measurement at the boundary of a metal container filled with charged material. Examples include pipelines and storage vessels. The electric field can be used to calculate charge density (3-5.1). Eield meters can also be lowered into containers such as silos to determine the local fields and polarities. Quantitative interpretation of the reading requires correction for field intensification and is sometimes accomplished using computer simulations. 

The Ni(OH)2/NiOOH reaction is a topo-chemical type of reaction that does not involve soluble intermediates. Many aspects of the reaction are controlled by the electrochemical conductivity of the reactants and products. Photoelectrochemical measurements [86, 871 indicate that the discharged material is a p-type semiconductor with a bandgap of about 3.7eV. The charged material is an n-type semiconductor with a bandgap of about 1.75eV. The bandgaps are estimates from absorption spectra [87]. 

Figure 10. Maurer (cone) discharges manifest themselves as irregular sparks spreading outward toward the wall from the top of the conical powder heap. They are only active when charged material is being added. (Maurer, 1979.)...

Separation mainly of charged materials by differential migration across a surface or through a column in an applied potential gradient migration rates dependent upon size, shape and charge of species. 

The value of x for the potential region used here is approximately 1 i.e. the fully charged material is LiMu204 and the fully discharged material has the approximate stoichiometry Li2Mu204. All measurements were done in an Ar-filled glove box.
