Dust Collection System in Cement Industries Using Nano-Technology

Abstract One of an important application the filtration system, whether filtering water or air. Cement plants in Libya which are located in residential areas, agricultural, or near water sources, so dust problem are solved by using innovative solutions in environmental dust collection. Dust collection system has proved. Highly effective especially after improving the mechanical properties of the candidate to add enhanced materials, this was an obvious performance of the filter. Carbon fiber has a global and multi-market increases mechanical properties in various industries. The addition of simple ratios of fiber carbon to polypropylene increases the tensile strength significantly, working to withstand the difficult conditions faced by the filter of high pressure and sometimes moisture, and other conditions that earlier discussed in this thesis. Addition of Talc has significant effect to improve the arrangement of atoms leading to nucleation effect. By using CF reinforce to PP to produce the appropriate filter. Fiber reinforced plastic are very costly but the ability to sustain a load without excessive deformation or failure. Specified filters for use in nearly any industrial application. By applying this design can minimize the negative impact caused by the industry and reduce these emissions to about 99%+ efficiency on 0.3-0.4 micron particulate.

Melt Flow and Impact Behaviour of Composite Materials at Elevated Pressures

استخدام المواد المركبة في التطبيقات الصناعية نمى بشكل سريع وذلك لمميزاته المناسبة التي تشمل ارتفاع نسب المقاومة والمتانة بالنسبة للوزن , وقد أصبحت المواد المركبة بديل المواد المعدنية في العديد من التطبيقات. المواد الثيرموبلاستيكية المركبة تم دراستها في هذه الرسالة حيث استعمل البولي اثيلين كقالب ودعم بإضافة ألياف الزجاج بنسب مختلفة ( 10% , 20% , 30% ) , وتم دراسة تأثير إضافة ألياف الزجاج على الخواص الميكانيكية للعينات. تم الحصول على العينات المركبة باستخدام جهاز البثق وإجراء التجارب لتقيم جريان المنصهر عند درجات الحرارة العالية حيث لاحظنا زيادة الجريان بزيادة الضغط . كما تم تطوير علاقات رياضية لتمثيل علاقات الإجهاد – الانفعال للعينات المركبة المتحصل عليها ,تم الحصول على ثوابت هذه العلاقات الرياضية. كما تم دراسة علاقات زمن الانهيارات للعينات المركبة , وتم تحسين طاقة الكسر للمواد المركبة التي تؤخر من ظاهرة الانهيار. إضافة ألياف الزجاج أدى إلى زيادة زمن الانهيار وتقليل طاقة الكسر. Abstract The use of composite materials in industry applications has grown rapidly, owing to their favorable characteristics, including high strength and stiffness to weight ratios, composite materials have been considered replacement of metals in numerous structural applications.Thermoplastic composite was studied in this thesis where high density polyethylene is used as a matrix and reinforced with different percentages of fiber glass ranging from (10%, 20%, 30%). The influence of addition of fibreglass on mechanical and thermal properties was studied. A pilot plant extruder is used to prepare the needed samples, where experimental investigation is carried out to evaluate the melt flow and the impact behaviour of the melt mixture at high temperature in the extruder. The flow rate increased by increased pressure. A mathematical correlation was developed to represent the stress – strain correlations of the composites used in this work. The combined model would be able to predict the creep, relaxation and recovery of composite materials, the constants of the model was obtained in area where the retardation effect is dominating. Time to failure correlation with stress was studied for the prepared composite material and mathematical correlation is established. The energy absorbed at fracture is improved for the composite material leading to a considerable delay in failure phenomenon. When added fibreglass led to increase time to failure and decrease energy of fracture.

Experimental study of solar still performance coupled to a solar collector for potable water production

نظرا للنقص الكبير في كمية المياه الجوفية نتيجة لنقص كمية مياه الأمطار و المياه الصالحة للشرب عامة وعدم وفرة المياه في المناطق النائية وشبه القاحلة حيث تتوفر الطاقة الشمسية وتشح المياه مما يجعل للطاقة الشمسية أهمية كبيرة في تحليه المياه و التقليل من استعمال الطاقة التقليدية التي تصاحبها انبعاثات المسببة للمشاكل البيئية مثل الانحباس الحراري.الهدف من هدا البحث هو تصميم و دراسة تجريبية لأداء المحليات الشمسية نوعية الحوض(basin type solar still ) والمقطر الشمسي نوعية الفتيلة المبللة (tilted –wick solar still ) و المربوطة بالمجمعات الشمسية لغرض تسخين المياه قبل دخولها للمقطر. وقد تم استعارة نموذج رياضي مناسب لمحاكاة أداء المحليات الشمسية التي يتم دراستها ومقارنة الجانب العملي مع الجانب النظري و الذي يستفاد منه في معالجة المشاكل المتوقعة في تصميم المقطر . وقد تم مقارنة معدل إنتاجية المياه في وجود مجمع شمسي وفى عدم وجوده. حيث وجدنا أن معدل إنتاجية نوع (tilted wick) فى وجود مجمع شمسي كان 5.307lm2day عند معدل إشعاع شمسي 676.537wm2 ,وإنتاجية نوع ((basin في وجود مجمع شمسي day 3.333lm2 عند إشعاع شمسي 696.19wm2 , وإنتاجية نوع (basin) في عدم وجود مجمع شمسي day 3.025lm2 عند معدل إشعاع شمسي 721.49wm2 وقد وجدنا أن تركيز الأملاح الصلبة الدائبة كانت 3080mg/l ونقصت بعد عملية التحلية إلى 36.8mg/l و تركيز أيون الكلور كان 475mg/l و نقص إلى 2.2mg/l . حيث تعتبر الطاقة الشمسية هي من أكثر أنواع الطاقة ملائمة للاستعمال في الوقت الحالي لولا انخفاض معدل الاستفادة منها حاليا على نطاق تجارى واسع وتجرى الآن أبحاث كثيرة لتطوير وإيجاد وسائل مناسبة للحصول على الطاقة الكافية. Abstract The problem of drinking water shortage is a worldwide issue that made millions of people suffers this shortage. Different classical energy processes were used to partly solve the problem, but they were suitable only for large population areas due to their high capital, operation and maintenance cost. For these reasons, alternative methods must be sought for rural arid areas. This method uses solar energy to drive basin-type and tilted-wick-type solar stills to produce distilled water. The performance of the stills was also studied when they were connected to external solar collector to preheat the feed water to the stills. The present work deals with studying and modeling of solar stills. The basic idea of the work is to check the production of basin still and tilted wick still using solar energy for solar desalination, using brackish water with total dissolved solids (T.D.S) equal to 3080mg/l and ion chloride concentration of 475mg/l)(35) and solar energy. The still is basically a rectangular basin lined with black or blackened porous material that acts as the solar energy collector. The still was constructed from galvanized iron steel with dimensions 52×75×6 cm. the base area of 52×75 cm. The still inclined at 13o. Distilled water volume collected was recorded continuously for each hour. The productivity of tilted type still with preheated water was 5.307 L/m2 day at an average solar radiation of 676.537 w/m2. The productivity of basin type solar still with preheated water was 3.333L/m2day at an average solar radiation 696.19 w/m2. The productivity of basin type solar still without preheated water was 3.025 L/m2day at an average solar radiation 721.49w/m2. The T.D.S is 36.8mg/l, and ion chloride concentration is 2.2mg/l(35). The developed mathematical model from energy and mass balance on the system was used to predict the performance of the still. It was found that the model predicted inlet temperature and glass temperature well with that one’s measured experimentally. The productivity predicted from the model was far from that measured experimentally. This was due to the many assumption made in the development of the model.
