This paper aims to explore the current status, research trends and hotspots related to the field of infrared detection technology through bibliometric analysis and visualization techniques based on the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) articles published between 1990 and 2018 using the VOSviewer and Citespace software tools. Based on our analysis, we first present the spatiotemporal distribution of the literature related to infrared detection technology, including annual publications, origin country/region, main research organization, and source publications. Then, we report the main subject categories involved in infrared detection technology. Furthermore, we adopt literature cocitation, author cocitation, keyword co-occurrence and timeline visualization analyses to visually explore the research fronts and trends, and present the evolution of infrared detection technology research. The results show that China, the USA and Italy are the three most active countries in infrared detection technology research and that the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique has the largest number of publications among related organizations. The most prominent research hotspots in the past five years are vibration thermal imaging, pulse thermal imaging, photonic crystals, skin temperature, remote sensing technology, and detection of delamination defects in concrete. The trend of future research on infrared detection technology is from qualitative to quantitative research development, engineering application research and infrared detection technology combined with other detection techniques. The proposed approach based on the scientific knowledge graph analysis can be used to establish reference information and a research basis for application and development of methods in the domain of infrared detection technology studies.
The spontaneous combustion
of the sulfur
concentrate is the main hazard faced in ore storage bins. To understand
the thermodynamic characteristics of spontaneous combustion of the
sulfur concentrate and test whether the kinetic compensation effects
are present in the spontaneous combustion process of the sulfur concentrate,
typical sulfur concentrate samples were selected as the research object,
and thermogravimetric experiments were carried out under an air atmosphere
at heating rates of 5, 10, and 15 K/min. On this basis, the contributions
of different reaction models to the mass change during the spontaneous
combustion of the sulfur concentrate, as well as the thermodynamic
model and kinetic compensation effect, are analyzed. The results show
that solid-phase combustion contributes the most to mass loss among
different mechanisms of the reaction between the sulfur concentrate
and oxygen. The contributions of reaction models to mass loss are
affected by the different heating rates, and the contribution of solid-phase
combustion to mass loss increases with increasing heating rates. The
Malek method is used to obtain the kinetic model of the spontaneous
combustion of the sulfur concentrate, and its mechanism function changes
from a chemical reaction model to a three-dimensional diffusion model.
There is a kinetic compensation effect in the spontaneous combustion
process of the sulfur concentrate, and the level of the kinetic compensation
line may be one of the bases for distinguishing the spontaneous combustion
tendency of the sulfur concentrate.
Thermal behavior of sulfide concentrates can give rise to many serious problems in its storage and transportation. In order to uncover the thermal behavior of sulfide concentrates, as well as obtain the kinetic parameters, four representative samples were tested using TG-DTG-DSC techniques in the
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
