Climate change and its effects, for instance drought, drive the search alternative water sources. One of these sources is rainwater, especially runoff from various roof surfaces in cities. In turn, use city production food as part hydroponic aquaponic systems requires knowledge possible pollutants their varied concentrations. this article, concentrations benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene (BTEX) rainwater collected cities stored types tanks (open closed) are analysed. Tests were carried...
The results of experimental research on forecasting post-fire resistance to brittle failure selected steel grades used in construction are presented and discussed this paper. conclusions based detailed analysis fracture surfaces obtained instrumented Charpy tests. It has been shown that the relationships formulated these tests agree well with drawn precise appropriate F–s curves. Furthermore, other between lateral expansion LE energy Wt required break sample constitute an additional...
Abstract A food processing plant supplied different heat exchanger plates to investigate the cause of their premature corrosion. In elder version system, grade 3...
To obtain anti-corrosive thermo-diffusion zinc coatings, the authors use highly effective saturating mixtures.This technology makes it possible to coatings with a high content in δ-phase as well zinc-rich phase of FeZn 13 (ζ-phase) on coating surface.As result long-term studies into corrosion properties (TDZ) conducted by authors, number features their corrosive behavior have been established.The rate those desalted and chloride-containing media is lower than galvanic or hot-dip coatings.The...
In environmental monitoring and water protection one has to deal with various hydrated specimens, therefore, there is a need for scanning electron microscopes which are suited specimens. Wet specimens can be observed in state using commercial Peltier cooling holder conventional microscopes. However, the optimization of time observation sample needs determined by carrying out experiments advance specifically determining optimal time. The temperature-pressure conditions also require obtain...
Cementation of iron water and sewage pipes is a standard procedure that used to ensure internal protection against corrosion. In order reduce leaching chemical elements from coating water, the neutral impact cement on major importance. present study, elemental composition mortar lining, taken new cast with diameter 100 150 mm, has been investigated. A reference sample was made Portland cement. Studies using scanning electron microscopy revealed an increased contents titanium in also aluminum...
The microstructure of two centrifugally cast ductile iron pipes with a diameter DN100 and wall thickness 6 mm was studied.After casting, the undergo annealing finishing anticorrosion coatings.Tensile tests were performed using longitudinal samples, cut in an appropriate manner from pipe wall.Depending on graphite morphology concentration area casting defects, tensile samples same may show significant scatter mechanical parameters.Thus, when are machined ready for installation, results must...
For the food industry, it is important to produce reliable products that are free of hazards and preserve them for long periods. Many microorganisms can grow in without causing any changes physical properties like odor, color, texture food, while simultaneously producing metabolites threaten human health illness even deaths, damaging national global economy (Pawłowski 2015, Piecuch & Hewelt 2013, 2013). Sterilization a or chemical process eliminates kills all forms life, especially present...
The kinetics of and mechanism for galvanising low-carbon steel (0.2% C) were examined in powder media which pre-treated to obtain a fine nanostructured ZnO layer on the surface zinc particles. effective diffusion coefficient Zn atoms through shell was estimated be order 1·10-10 m2·s-1. contribution Zn-gas evaporation/condensation microprocesses, could occur relation above layer, evaluated with numerical calculations temperature range 550–950 K an average particle size up 100 nm. Our results...
