Softening represents one of the stages in the pyrometallurgical refining of lead, in which oxygen is top-blown into a bath of impure bullion through a group of lances in order to preferentially oxidize arsenic, antimony and tin dissolved in the melt. The oxides of these species float to the melt surface, where they are removed as dross.<br>It has been observed at Teck Cominco Lead Operations in Trail, BC that there is an "ignition temperature" in the range of 600°C, below which the softening reactions are reported to occur very slowly, if at all.

Softening deformation of iron ore in the form of sinter, pellet, and lump ore in the cohesive zone of an ironmaking blast furnace is an important phenomenon that has a significant effect on gas permeability and consequently blast furnace production efficiency. The macroscopic softening deformation behavior of the bed and the microscopic deformation behavior of the individual particles in the packed bed are investigated in this study using wax balls to simulate the fused layer behavior of the cohesive zone.

Abstract:

Lime softening, chlorination, clarification and filtration have been long recognized treatment processes for beverage water specifically the carbonated soft drink (CSD) because it provides consistent water quality required for bottling plants, however these processes are becoming uneconomical and causes more problems than the benefits they offer. These processes require very large foot print, occupy large plant volume, and generate large volume of sludge which causes disposal problems. Chlorination produces trihalomethanes (THMs) and other by-products which are detrimental to health and impart

A characterization of the softening behaviour of four different commercially pure aluminium alloys has been carried out. The work is related to the MOREAL project (Modelling towards value-added recycling friendly aluminium alloys), where the main goal is to quantify the effect of the elements in recyclable aluminium alloys on microstructure and mechanical properties during thermo-mechanical processing. Typical elements are iron (Fe), silicon (Si) and manganese (Mn), and the alloys studied in this work contain Fe and Si with different amount and ratio: alloy A1 with 0.15 wt% Fe and 0.05 wt% Si

The aim of this research was to deepen the knowledge about the slow softening texture in peach. The texture is a synthesis of several parameters detected by senses, derived from the food structure. The paramount sense in the texture perception is the tactile one, principally perceived by hand and mouth. The tactile perception is a combination of four classes of mechanoreceptors, each one specialized to perceive mechanic deformation with different speed. This combined perception influences the consumer evaluation of food quality, giving the texture importance among food characteristics. The t

Abstract:

Interactions between diffusing impurity atoms and dislocations can occur during or following the deformation of metals. These interactions cause dislocation pinning, leading to strain aging. At lower temperatures (<400°C), the relevant solutes are interstitial (in particular, carbon and nitrogen). At higher temperatures (>800°C), substitutional impurities are expected to be most influential. The same mechanisms that result in the yield drops, increased flow stresses and increased work hardening associated with strain aging at low temperatures should result in significant modification of

Abstract:

It has been shown that LeRablla antisense tomato plants exhibit a reduced softening phenotype compared to wild type fruits. Thus, the LeRabl 1 protein may be involved in trafficking of cell wall hydrolysing enzymes to the cell wall during ripening. It has since been shown that LeRablla is highly expressed in immature fruit and expression decreased as the fruit developed reaching barely detectable levels in ripening fruit. The possibility thus exists that the observed phenotype may be due to silencing of related gene(s).

Abstract:

Stokes’ law that is traditionally used for modeling the sedimentation of flocs, incorrectly assumes that the floc is solid and spherical. Consequently the settling rates of flocs cannot be estimated using the Stokes law. The application of fractal dimensions to study the internal structure and settling of flocs formed in lime softening process was investigated. An optical microscope with motorized stage was used to measure the fractal dimensions of lime softening flocs directly on their images in 2 and 3D space. The fractal dimensions of the lime softening flocs were 1.15-1.27 for floc bound

In the hierarchical approach of constitutive modelling, the damage accumulation and resulting strain-softening behavior of geologic materials can be modelled by introducing a concept of damage evaluation. The damage accumulation and softening behavior are affected by the size of specimens. A series of uniaxial tests on cylindrical specimens of a simulated rock were performed. The effect of specimen size on the parameters of the damage model were investigated by using the test results. The empirical results show that the damage parameters can be related to a characteristic dimension, which was
