Fabricating dual-phase hollow-fiber membranes via a one-step thermal processing (OSTP) approach is challenging, because of complex sintering kinetics and the subsequent impacts on membrane morphology, phase stability, and permeation properties. In this study, we have demonstrated that Ce 0.8 Sm 0.2 O 2-δ -SrCo 0.9 Nb 0.1 O 3-δ (SDC-SCN) four-channel hollow fiber membrane can be manufactured via a single high-temperature sintering process, by using metal oxides and carbonates directly as membrane materials (sources of metal ions). It has been found that use of a low ramping rate reduces grain sizes, increases grain and forming cobalt oxide nanoparticles, a key step to promoting surface exchange process followed by enhancing oxygen permeation. While the grain boundary interface region can be limited to approximately 20-30 nm. At 1173 K oxygen permeation of the SDC-SCN four-channel hollow fiber membrane was measured at approximately 1.2 mL•cm -2 •min -1 using helium as the sweep gas. Meanwhile, the dual-phase membrane shows a good tolerance to carbon dioxide, with the oxygen permeation flux fully recovered after long-term exposure to carbon dioxide (more than 100 h). This will enable further application of the OSTP approach for preparing dual-phase multi-channel hollow fiber membranes for applications of oxyfuel combustion, catalytic membrane reactors and carbon dioxide capture.
Polyurethane grouting materials are increasingly used in the non-excavation rehabilitation of roadbeds. The compressive strength of roadbed rehabilitation polyurethane (RHPU) grouting materials is the key to achieving the desirable repair effect, whereas the constitutive model of RHPU grouting materials is not yet understood. Here, the mechanical properties of RHPU grouting materials under compression were experimentally investigated, followed by establishing the hyperfoam constitutive model. The variation laws of the critical parameters in the model with density were function fitted, and then the constitutive model was simplified as an equation of density as the single independent variable. The comparisons between the theoretical and experimental mechanical behavior of RHPU grouting materials were discussed to illustrate the applicability of the hyperfoam constitutive model. Results show that with the increasing density, both the yield strength (σ 1 ), elastic modulus (E 1 ), and secant modulus (E s ) increases exponentially, and the Poisson's ratio (v) increases logarithmically. The maximum increase in σ 1 , E 1 , E s , and v are about 750%, 720%, 940%, and 50%, respectively. Compared to the effects of density on the mechanical properties, the effect of loading rate is much smaller, and the side length has no effect. For RHPU samples with a density not exceeding 0.35 g/cm 3 , the hyperfoam model can well describe the uniaxial compression mechanical behavior, but for those whose density exceeds 0.35 g/cm 3 , the model can only describe the mechanical behavior before yielding. The theoretical yield strength of the RHPU samples obtained from the model is close to the experimental value (with differences of about 0.1%-14.4%). This study provides a base to evaluate the compressive strength of the practically used RHPU grouting materials based on the density.
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.
