Extraction of Preheated Coal with Solvent

Coal Desulfurization by Solvent Leaching Methods

Coal desulfurization prior to usage is a preprocessing in order to achieve clean fuel and reduce environmental impacts such as acid rain. Desulfurization of Lakhra (Pakistan) coal was conducted with different solvents. Coal was leached with different solvents like hot water, H2O2/H2SO4 and HNO3. It was found that the effects of the leaching temperature, agitation time and particle size on the r...

4 Solvent Extraction Equilibria

The ability of a solute (inorganic or organic) to distribute itself between an aqueous solution and an immiscible organic solvent has long been applied to separation and purification of solutes either by extraction into the organic phase, leaving undesirable substances in the aqueous phase; or by extraction of the undesirable substances into the organic phase, leaving the desirable solute in th...

Reducing Response Time with Preheated Caches

CPU performance is increasingly limited by thermal dissipation, and soon aggressive power management will be beneficial for performance. Especially, temporarily idle parts of the chip (including the caches) should be powergated in order to reduce leakage power. Current CPUs already lose their cache state whenever the CPU is idle for extended periods of time, which causes a performance loss when...

SHOCK TEMPERATURES OF PREHEATED MgO

Shock temperature measurements via optical pyrometry are being conducted on <100> single-crystal MgO preheated beftire compression to 1905-1924 K. Planar shocks were generated by impacting hot Mo(driver plate)-MgO targets with Mo or Ta flyers launched by the Caltech two-stage light-gas gun up to 6.6 km/s. Quasi-brightness temperature was measured with 2-3% uncertainty by a 6-channel optical pyr...
