Surface quality including surface roughness and edge chipping is a key process measure in micro ultrasonic machining (Micro-USM) as an efficient process for micromachining of hard and brittle materials. Process parameters such as ultrasonic vibration amplitude, static load, type of tool material, type and size of abrasive particles and slurry concentration can influence the surface quality. How...

This paper aims to propose and characterize a sustainable hydraulic mortar entirely obtained by the reuse of waste materials, with marble slurry coming from quarries in north-western Sicily glass powder collection plant Marsala (Province Trapani). The first was used as raw material produce binder kilning slaking process, while second pozzolanic additive. chemical morphological characterization ...

Lime soil treatment is a chemical process in which lime (quicklime, hydrated or slurry) mixed with the place subgrade and reaction takes place. The reacts clay particles to create cementitious matrix. design of landfill base liners including layer as fluid barrier (i.e. water-resistant impervious layer) requires neat engineering approach considering, particular, consolidation behavior well hydr...

The choice of management practices for the treatment of piggery effluent prior to its disposal to waterways or land is governed by the desire to simultaneously minimise the cost of treatment whilst minimising pollution of the environment. Laboratory experiments were conducted to compare the removal of total and total filterable phosphorus (P) (<0.45 microm) from ortho-phosphate solutions or pig...

In order to better understand the role of the uid behavior in CMP, we measured slurry transport beneath a glass wafer. We quanti ed the slurry transport using Residence Time Distribution techniques and two measures of slurry transport e ciency de ned as the percentage of new slurry beneath a wafer. Slurry transport e ciency depended on platen speed, ow rate, and the conditioning method. We foun...

The utilization of cemented tailings/paste backfill (CPB) by the mining industry is becoming increasingly important. However, it has been difficult to analyze the economic usage of CPB for fine unclassified tailings. Therefore, the physical and chemical properties of fine unclassified tailings, sampled from the Sijiaying Mine, were first analyzed in this study. After this, active excitation of ...

The distribution of moisture, degradable C, and N after direct injection of slurry can affect the turnover and plant availability of slurry N. This study examined effects of injection method, soil conditions, and slurry properties on the infiltration of several slurry components under practical conditions. The water retention capacity of 22 pig and cattle slurries was quantified by dialysis at ...

This research was conducted to develop flowable slurry containing fibrous residuals from pulp and paper mills. Two types of flowable slurry containing ASTM Class C fly ash were produced: fly ash slurry and sandy slurry. Often, the fly ash slurry made without fibrous residuals showed a tendency to set rapidly, and become unworkable. When the cement-to-fly ash ratio was increased to extend the ti...
