Graphite antimony composites were prepared using a mechanical pressure infiltration method to force molten antimony into graphite preforms having a percolation micro-structure and a hop-pocket power filler. The micro-structural and macroscopic properties of the graphite antimony composites were analysed. Observations included metallographic analysis, physical properties and friction and wear behaviour. The results show that the wear loss is decreased by 12.24% and that the friction coefficient is reduced by 32.61% after hop-pocket power was used. The research indicates that the hop-pocket power method gives a useful way to reduce friction coefficients and wear loss, and to increase service life and self-lubrication properties, of the graphite antimony sealing material as compared to carbon black.

The relationships between mechanical characteristics of rock and microcosmic mechanism at high temperatures were investigated by MTS815, as well as the stress-strain behavior of granite under the action of temperatures ranging from room temperature to 1200 °C. Based on a micropore structure analyzer and SEM, the changes in rock porosity and micro structural morphology of sample fractures and brittle-plastic characteristics under high temperatures were analyzed. The results are as follows: 1) Mechanical characteristics do not show obvious variations before 800 °C; strength decreases suddenly after 800 °C and bearing capacity is almost lost at 1200 °C. 2) Rock porosity increases with rising temperatures; the threshold temperature is about 800 °C; at this temperature its effect is basically uniform with strength decreasing rapidly. 3) The failure type of granite is a brittle tensile fracture at temperatures below 800 °C which transforms into plasticity at temperatures higher than 800 °C and crystal formation takes place at this time. Chemical reactions take place at 1200 °C. Failure of granite under high temperature is a common result of thermal stress as indicated by an increase in the thermal expansion coefficient, transformation to crystal formation of minerals and structural chemical reactions.

We propose the design of an observation station to establish a reliable datum for displacement and deformation analysis at the first working-face subsidence observation station of Liuzhuang Mine. The design considers various geologic and mining conditions. Having analyzed the aims of the joint survey and the comprehensive survey, we propose design principles, and work modes, for adopting GPS technology as the position measuring technique to be used in these two stages. Baseline vectors and spatial adjustments of the GPS network were calculated after study of data processing and quality estimation methods. A coordinate system transformation and error estimates of the transformed GPS network data are discussed. The error estimates in all stages show that the GPS control network of the observation station has sufficient accuracy and is highly efficient. The network thus provides a reliable datum for analyzing the laws of surface displacement and deformation induced by mining.

The regular pattern of temperature change in a coalfield fire area while the fire is being extinguished was studied. To determine the extinguishing effect, a series of linear, logarithmic, polynomial or exponential mathematical regression models were constructed using the observed temperature data from the Xinjiang coalfield fire extinguishing project. The quadratic polynomial mathematical model had the best fit. A large coal fire oven was also used to simulate the coal fire extinguishing process. The same mathematical regression experiments were carried out on that observed data. The results verified that the quadratic polynomial mathematical model had the best fit. Therefore, a quadratic polynomial mathematical model is proposed to accurately model the temperature-time relationship in a coalfield fire area. An application to coalfield fire suppression shows that the deduced mathematical model can be used to predict the temperature conditions and to determine the effect of fire extinguishing, thereby helping to speed up the fire suppression process in the coalfield fire area.

Separation and analysis of aromatic hydrocarbons (AHs) from coals is of considerable significance for both fuel and non-fuel use of the coals. In present work two Chinese bituminous coals were selected for separation of AHs by ultrasonic extraction with CS₂ followed by column chromatography using hexane as eluent. A series of AHs were separated from the two coals and analyzed by GC/MS. FTIR was employed to characterize the raw coals and the extracted residues. The results of GC/MS analysis show that the separated AHs are mono- to tetracyclic arenes, among which the principle AHs are alkyl naphthalenes and phenanthrenes. Obvious differences in the composition and the structure of AHs exist between the two coals, i.e., the AHs from Tongting coal tend to be higher rings compared to those from Pingshuo coal both from the variety and from the abundance of the AHs. FTIR analysis shows that the raw and extracted coals are similar in terms of functional groups, suggesting that the composition and structure of CS₂ extract, especially the AHs, from coals can be used to interpret the coal structure to some extent.

The authors have created a virtual test of vibration particle-screening using Autodesk's 3ds Max software, the MAXScript scripting language and the AGEIA PhysX physics processing unit (PPU). The affect of various parameters on screening efficiency were modeled. The parameters included vibration amplitude, frequency and direction. The length and inclination of the vibrating surface were also varied. The virtual experiment is in basic agreement with results predicted from screening theory. This shows that the virtual screener can be used for preliminary investigations and the results used to evaluate screen design. In addition it can help with theoretical research.

The study area is located in the south of Huanxian county, in Yan'an and Puxian counties and to the north of Xi'an. The Shanxi and lower Shihezi formations are important gas-bearing formations. Given our analysis of the direction of rivers, the contents of stable heavy minerals and of feldspar of palaeo river systems, the study area is divided into six palaeodrainage patterns corresponding to six feldspar regions and six sedimentary facies regions. On this basis, the distribution of sedimentary facies was also analyzed. During the Shanxi stage, a delta front was deposited in the Huanxian region and delta plains and fronts were deposited in the Pingliang, Chunhua-Yaoxian and Hancheng-Chengcheng regions. In the Yan'an-Daning region, only a delta front was developed. The distribution of sedimentary facies in the earlier Shihezi stage originated from the Shanxi stage. A delta front was developed in the Huanxian region while a delta plain and front developed in the Pingliang-Zhenyuan region during the same time. Lakes originated only in the Zhenyuan-Huanxian-Huachi-Zhengning and Daning-Jixian zones. This analytical method shows that different palaeodrainage patterns can be effectively distinguished in order to forecast sedimentary facies.

Red mud has relatively small solid particles (d₅₀=13.02 μm) and will flow in paste form under high pressure during pipeline transport. Red mud belongs to a two-phase flow of materials with high viscosity and a high concentration of non-sedimentation, homogeneous solid-liquids. It is difficult to test its rheological properties under atmospheric pressure. Measurements such as rotational viscometry can not reflect the real state of the material when it is flowing in a pipe. Tested rheological parameters are somewhat higher than the actual values. In our investigation, grain shape, distinctive modality and grain size distribution of red mud were tested. Based on the principle of tube measurement, rheological experiments on red mud at different concentrations were carried out by using our independently developed tube-type pressure rheology test facility, and obtained constitutive equations. We conclude that red mud behaves as non-Newtonian pseudo-plastic fluid in pipe flows. Its consistency and power-law indices vary considerably with different concentrations.

A test system was designed to study the parameters affecting the volumetric efficiency of a thick-material pump for coal slime. The parameters studied included solid concentration, the slenderness ratio of the suction cylinder and the running speed of the hydraulic cylinder. In the experiment the concentrations of coal slime were 75.7%, 76.3%, 74.4%, 73.5%, 72.1% and 70.63%; the running speeds were 0.23, 0.18, 0.13, 0.10 and 0.08 m/s; and the slenderness ratios of the suction cylinder were 1.63, 2.26, 2.88, 3.50, 4.13, 4.78 and 5.38. The results show that the suction volumetric efficiency decreases gradually with an increase in material concentration. The critical concentration value is 72%; below 72% the suction volumetric efficiency is above 90%, otherwise it decreases rapidly. When the solid concentration reaches 76.3%, the suction volumetric efficiency is only 40%. When the running speed of the piston is less than or equal to 0.23 m/s, the suction volumetric efficiency increases with an increase in running speed.
