Scalable synthesis of high-performance Si/CNTs/C anodes for lithium-ion batteries based on recycling of silicon cutting waste

Si is expected to replace graphite anode materials in the next generation of high-energy–density lithium-ion batteries due to its high specific capacity and abundant resources. However, the poor electrical conductivity and the huge volume expansion during the lithiation and delithiation process hindering its further commercial application. In this work, silicon cutting waste（SCW）generated in the photovoltaic industry was recycled as raw material, and a slurry containing Si after sanding(S-Si) was obtained in the sanding machine, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) were added to the slurry, mixed homogeneously and then spray-dried and granulated, after high-temperature carbonization, Si/CNTs/C composite with high vibrational density, homogeneous particle size and excellent electrochemistry were obtained. The nano-sized Si can accommodate the volume expansion during the cycling process, and the CNTs are interspersed in the composite to construct a conductive network, thus enhancing the electronic conductivity of the composite. The as-synthesized Si/CNTs/C composite exhibited a residual capacity of more than 1000 mAh·g−1 after 500 cycles at a current of 1 A·g−1 and a capacity of 878 mAh·g−1 even at 10 A·g−1. Notably, full lithium-ion batteries with a Si/CNTs/C anode and LiFePO4 cathode delivered a stable capacity of 130 mAh·g−1 with an ICE of 88.1 %. Our work provides reference solutions for the recycling of waste materials in the photovoltaic industry as well as the preparation of low-cost, high-performance Si/C anodes for lithium-ion batteries.

INFLUENCE OF DIFFERENT MACHINING ON THE ROUGHNESS OF OAK WOOD

The paper presents research on the differences the in total roughness and the impact of parameters during different kinds of machining processes of oak samples. Oak wood samples were planed referring to a radial surface structure of wood. The planing machine was Weinig Unimat 500 and the planing head had two blades. The planing was conducted at a feed speed of 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 m·min-1. The cutting depth of the machining grip was 1.00 mm and the rake angle of the tool blade was bio γ = 15°, at 6000°/min. The diameter of the cutting blade was Φ = 125 mm. Sanding was performed on a Viet Opera V contact sanding machine in combination heads with pre-planing knives and a roller with sanding belt. Roughness was measured along the grain in the latewood area of the annual growth using the electro mechanical profiler Mitutoyo SJ-500. The samples which were machined at a feed speed of 10 m·min-1 had the lowest roughness. The highest value of the roughness had samples which were machined at a feed speed of 30 m·min-1. After comparing roughness obtained during sanding and planing it was determined that the surface roughness obtained on a sanding machine approximately corresponds to the roughness obtained by planing at a feed speed of 20 and 25 m·min-1.

Analysis of Body Posture using Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) and Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) to Improve the Posture of Sand Paper Machine Operators and Reduce the Risk of Low Back Pain

The metal casting industry, Nitikan is a micro business whose production process is carried out manually. The equipment used is simple and without considering the user's health. This can be seen in the product finishing process that uses a sanding machine. The equipment is not designed according to the user's posture so the operator bends in doing work movements, of course this is very risky to experience lower back pain injuries. This study aims to analyze the work activities of the finishing process using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) and Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) approach and design work tools that can be applied to improve work posture. The results of data processing and analysis obtained a Rapid Entire Body Assessment score on a sandpaper machine single head of 5 and a Rapid Upper Limb Assessment score of 4, the score indicates that the work position has the potential to experience a risk of low back pain, so there must be an improvement in work posture. Work posture improvement is done by designing a tool in the form of a sandpaper machine that takes into account ergonomic dimensions to reduce the risk of lower back injury. The final result after the improvement is obtained Rapid Entire Body Assessment score of 3 and Rapid Upper Limb Assessment score of 4. This shows that the risk of lower back injuries can be minimized.

Redesign of Squared-Profile Wood Sanding Machine for Work-Position and Productivity Improvement (Case study on Abu Production Handycraft, Pleret, Bantul, Yogyakarta)

Abu Production Handycraft was a small and medium enterprise (SME) that produced various types of handicraft products, such as tissue boxes, lamp cups, ashtrays, fruit baskets, flowerpots, flower vases, plaques, trays, souvenirs, and other types of wooden craft product. One of production processes was sanding process which was performed by the operator while in sitting position on a small bench for long time. It caused the worker worked with the back in bent position, head bowed, elbows and both legs include knees folded. Standardised Nordic Questionnaires (SNQ) revealed that the worker suffered from pain in the neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, back, buttock, and knee. So, it could effect on the work productivity. The objective of this research was to redesign of squared-profile wood sanding machine for Work-position and Productivity Improvement. The concept of ergonomics was applied for work facilities designing. The discomfort perceived, standard time, and work productivity would be measured for comparing between pre and post redesigning conditions on this research. The anthropometric data was taken as reference for the dimension of sanding machine design which matched to the body dimension of the worker. SolidWorks software was used in this research for sanding machine designing. The result showed a decrease on the level of discomfort of 70% into 10%. Regarding to the standard time, the result showed 20.96 minutes/unit and 7.99 minutes/unit for initial and final condition, respectively. It indicated a decrease of 61.88% in term of standard time. Related to the standard output, it showed 3.00 units/minute for initial condition and 8.00 units/minute for final condition. It indicated that there was an increase of 166.67% in term of productivity when compared to the initial condition.

Sanding work is a stage that is carried out before entering the finishing process to remove defects and smooth the surface of the object. The main purpose of making sanding machines with this mechanical belt system is to help and simplify the sanding process. The method for making sanding machines with mechanical belt systems is: needs analysis, problem analysis and specifications, problem statements, concept design, technical analysis, work drawing and tool testing. The results of the design of the sanding machine with a mechanical belt system are obtained in the form of a design with a working drawing of a sanding machine with a mechanical belt system. The sanding machine with a mechanical belt system has specifications that are 500 mm long, 350 mm wide, and 1400 mm high.

The sanding machine with a mechanical belt consists of several components, namely the engine frame, electric motor, pulleys, tables, belt aplas, and adjustment of the belt strength of the sandpaper. The belt pulley used is from ST 37 with a diameter of 25 mm and pulley rotation of 2800 rpm. Frame construction uses hollow iron measuring 40x40x3 mm from ST 37 material. The table uses 590x150 acrylic material.

Determination of Surface Roughness Based on the Sanding Parameters of Oriental Beech Wood

This study demonstrated the strength of a theoretical model founded on the Box-Behnken experimental design method to determine the surface roughness (Ra parameter) of solid Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) wood. The working parameters (sanding belt grit size of 60 to 100, feeding speed of 4 m/min to 10 m/min, and sanding cutting depth of 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm) of a wide belt sanding machine were determined. The Ra of the samples was experimentally described so that the experimental results were also remodeled with the Box-Behnken method to find the optimum parameters for the lowest Ra. An adjusted correlation factor of 93.6% for the Ra confirmed the compatibility between the experimental and theoretical findings. The high correlation (strength) allowed for a more detailed discussion of the effect of the working parameters on the Ra. The theoretical approach showed that the grit size factor had the largest effect on the Ra compared with the other factors. The optimum parameters were found to be a grit size of 100, feed speed of 4 m/min, and sanding depth of 0.1 mm for a minimum Ra for Oriental beech wood. The experimental data supported these parameters.

Traveling behavior of a termite in tunnels with different curvatures and base surface roughness

This study focused on understanding the termite traveling behavior. Artificial tunnels with different curvatures and base surface roughness were constructed. Each tunnel was 50mm in length, with widths of W (W=2, 3, or 4mm). The distance between the two ends of the tunnel was D (D=20, 30, 40, or 50mm). A higher value of D means a lower curvature. The roughness, R (R=60, 120, 240 and ∞), was generated by uniformly sanding the substrate with a sanding machine. A higher R value means a finer base surface. The symbol ∞ represents a smooth surface. Time (τ) taken by a termite to pass through the tunnel was measured. τ was longer in tunnels with a smooth surface compared with the tunnels with a rough surface. When W=2, there was no effect of the roughness on speed. This is because the narrow tunnel width diluted the effects of the smoothness of the surface. When W=3, τ was statistically shorter for R=240, than for R=60 and 120. This suggests that an appropriate surface roughness could positively contribute to the traveling speed.

Characterization of wood dust emission from hand-held woodworking machines

ABSTRACTThis article focuses on the prevention of exposure to wood dust when operating electrical hand-held sawing and sanding machines. A laboratory methodology was developed to measure the dust concentration around machines during operating processes. The main objective was to characterize circular saws and sanders, with the aim of classifying the different power tools tested in terms of dust emission (high dust emitter vs. low dust emitter). A test set-up was developed and is described and a measurement methodology was determined for each of the two operations studied. The robustness of the experimental results is discussed and shows good tendencies. The impact of air-flow extraction rate was assessed and the pressure loss of the system for each machine established. For the circular saws, three machines over the nine tested could be classified in the low dust emitter group. Their mean concentration values measured are between 0.64 and 0.98 mg/m3 for the low dust emitter group and from 2.55 and 4.37 mg/m3 for the high dust emitter group. From concentration measurements, a machine classification is possible—one for sanding machines and one for sawing machines—and a ratio from 1–7 is obtained when comparing the results. This classification will be helpful when a choice of high performance power tools, in terms of dust emission, must be made by professionals.

Modeling and optimization of vibration response characteristics of the orbital sander based on surrogate model

Use of hand-held sanding machines can cause excessive vibrations, which may induce various diseases, so the vibrations should be suppressed in the design process. This work focuses on the vibration optimization of an orbital sander based on a surrogate model. Housing vibrations along three axes of this machine are tested at four different points, and the experimental results are in good agreement with the acceleration values obtained from the simulated model established in ADAMS, which demonstrates the higher accuracy of the dynamic model. In order to reduce the vibrations, an automatic optimization strategy is presented by integrating four pieces of software in ISIGHT platform. Thus, the geometrical parameters of the soft nylon posts and the counterbalance in this machine are selected as design variables, housing accelerations of six separated directions as criteria. To improve the optimization efficiency, a surrogate model is set up based on Elliptical Basis Functions by selecting sample points with the Optimal Latin Hypercube DOE technique; and the influence distribution analysis of the design variables on the housing vibrations is performed according to these DOE data, which suggests that the counterbalance parameters are the key factors to the housing vibrations. Furthermore, error analysis of this approximate model shows that it is precise enough to conduct the following optimization. Consequently, the optimization results show that housing vibrations are reduced by 48%, 37% and 36% in three different directions, respectively, with the better design variables of the orbital sander.

Determination of the Surface Roughness Values of Turkish Red Pine (Pinus brutia (Ten.)) Woods

The aim of this study was to determine the surface roughness values of Turkish red pine samples obtained from the seven natural growth areas in Turkey. The samples were cut with a circular saw, planed with a thickness machine, and sanded with a sanding machine (with No. 80 sandpaper). After the samples were processed as radial and tangential surfaces in the machines, their surface roughness values (Ra, Ry, and Rz) were measured in accordance with ISO 4288 (1996). According to the statistical results, the lowest surface roughness values were in the samples obtained from the Mugla and Samsun areas on the tangential surfaces that were processed with the thickness machine.

Effect on Shear Strength of Machining Methods in Pinus nigra Arnold Bonded with Polyurethane and Polyvinyl Acetate Adhesives

Specimens taken from Pinus nigra Arnold were subject to surfacing techniques by being cut with a circular saw, planed with a thickness machine, and sanded with a calibrating sanding machine (with P80 grit sandpaper). First, their surface roughness values were measured; then, the specimens were processed in the machines in a radial and tangential process. Afterwards, the change in shear strength (adhesiveness resistance) was analyzed as a result of bonding with various adhesive types (PVAc, PU) and pressure applications (0.45 N/mm² or 0.9 N/mm²). Approximately 600 specimens were prepared with the purpose of identifying the effect of variables on the bonding performance, and they were subjected to shear testing. The greatest shear strength achieved for both the tangential and radial surfaces in terms of cutting was observed in specimens processed in the thickness machine, on which polyvinyl acetate adhesive and 0.9 N/mm². pressure were applied. Specimens bonded with polyvinyl acetate adhesive displayed higher shear strength in general in comparison to those bonded with polyurethane for both tangential and radial surfaces.

Potential Release of Manufactured Nano Objects During Sanding of Nano-Coated Wood Surfaces.

Increasing production and applications of manufactured nano objects (MNOs) have become a source for human exposure and therefore raise concerns and questions about the possible health effects. In this study, the potential release of nano objects, their agglomerates, and aggregates (NOAA) as a result of sanding of hardwood treated with MNOs-containing coating was examined. Two types of MNO-containing coating were compared with untreated hardwood that allowed the evaluation of the influence of the chemical composition on the release of particles. Furthermore, the rotation speed of the sander and the grit size of the sanding paper were varied in order to assess their influence on the release of particles.Measurements were conducted in a gas-tight chamber with a volume of 19.5 m(3) in which ventilation was minimized during experiments. Particle size distributions were assessed by scanning mobility particle sizer , aerodynamic particle sizer, and electrical low pressure impactor. Furthermore, aerosol number concentrations (Nanotracer), active surface area (LQ1), and fractionated mass (Cascade Impactor) were measured before, during, and after sanding. Scanning electron microscope/energy dispersive X-ray (SEM/EDX) analysis was performed to adequately characterize the morphology, size, and chemical composition of released particles.SEM/EDX analysis indicated that sanding surfaces treated with MNO-containing coating did not release the designated MNO as free primary particles. In both coatings, clusters of MNO were perceived embedded in and attached to micro-sized wood and/or coating particles created by sanding the coated surface. Real-time measurements indicated a lower release of micro-sized particles from sanding of surfaces treated with Coating I than from sanding untreated surfaces or surfaces treated with Coating II. A substantial increase in nanosized and a slight increase in micro-sized particles was perceived as the rotation speed of the sander increased. However, most nanosized particles were most likely emitted by the sanding machine. No effect of the grit size on the release of particles was detected.

Effects of Machining Methods on the Surface Roughness Values of Pinus nigra Arnold Wood

In this study, samples were subjected to the following surface treatment techniques: sawing with a circular saw, planing with a thickness machine, and sanding with a sanding machine (with No. 80 sandpaper). After samples were treated radially and tangentially with machines, their surface roughness values (Ra, Ry, and Rz) were measured according to ISO 4288. When statistics related to surface roughness values (for Ra, Ry, and Rz) were analyzed, it was found that surfaces processed with the thickness machine exhibited the smoothest surfaces. Also, according to the same statistical tables, the lowest surface roughness values were found for surfaces cut tangentially.

Analysis of Sanding Parameters, Sanding Force, Normal Force, Power Consumption, and Surface Roughness in Sanding Wood-Based Panels

The proper parameters of sanding with an abrasive sanding machine are significant to reduce energy consumption and to improve processing efficiency and quality. The influences of grit size (G), feed speed (U), sanding speed (V), and sanding thickness (Ts) on the sanding force (sF), normal force (nF), arithmetic mean deviation of profile (Ra), power consumption (P), and power efficiency (e) were analyzed by the orthogonal method in this study. Fuzzy synthetic evaluation (FSE) was adopted to evaluate sF, P, and Ra comprehensively and to determine the optimum sanding parameters. For both medium density fiberboard (MDF) and particle board (PB), G has the greatest impact on Ra. For MDF, Ts and G have great impacts on sF, G is also the significant factor affecting nF, whereas the significant factors affecting P are U and V. For PB, G, U, and Ts have great impacts on sF, while G and Ts are the significant factors for nF. Significant factors for P are V and Ts. For MDF and PB, when the weight vector (sF, Ra) is (0.3, 0.7), the optimum schemes are G80U3m/minV8.04,9.38,10.74m/sTs0.2,0.3mm and G80U3m/minV9.38m/sTs0.2 mm, respectively, and when (sF, Ra) is (0.7, 0.3), the optimum schemes are G80U3,3.72m/minV6.69,8.04,9.38m/sTs0.2 mm and G80U3m/minV8.04,9.38m/sTs0.2 mm, respectively. Additionally, when the weight vector (P, Ra) is (0.3, 0.7) or (0.7, 0.3), the optimum scheme is G100U2.52m/minV5.35m/sTs0.1 mm.

Analysis of Static Friction Coefficient Between Work-piece and Rubber Belt in Sanding Wood-Based Panel

This study analyzes the critical static friction coefficient (μ0) and the static friction coefficient (μ) between work-piece and rubber belt during sanding medium density fiberboard (MDF) and particle board (PB). The purpose is to provide theoretical support for improving design techniques of sanding machine and choosing appropriate rubber belts for sanding. The results indicate that μ0 is a constant that can be calculated by maximum sanding force (sFMax) and maximum normal force (nFMax). Besides, there is an exponential relationship between intensity of pressure (P) and μ when work-piece is relatively static on a rubber belt. Among all sanding parameters, git size (G) has the greatest influence on μ. In single-factor experiment, we found that the smaller the nFMax is, the greater the μ is (for same rubber belts), but the variation rates of μ and nFMax are coincident. Six types of rubber belts are adopted, and the average μ of No. 1 and No. 4 are greater than others, but average μ of all the belts are lower than μ0, so when use such six types of rubber belts, a hold-down device or vacuum chuck should be equipped on the sanding machine. Patterns of rubber belts have some impact on μ, and appropriate patterns on the surface of rubber belts contribute to higher μ.

Effects of sanding parameters on sanding force and normal force in sanding wood-based panels

Abstract The proper parameters of sanding with abrasive sanding machine are significant to reduce energy consumption and to improve processing efficiency and quality. The parameters sanding speed, feed speed, and granularity have been investigated in terms of the sanding force (sF) and normal force (nF) for particle board (PB) and medium-density fiberboard (MDF). For PB, the sF and nF show decreasing trends of second power with increasing sanding speed and linear increase when feed speed increases. The sF and nF are almost constant when granularity increases from 40 to 80, but these forces show increasing trends of second power when granularity increases from 80 to 150. For MDF, the sF and nF change as trends of second power with increasing sanding speed and increase in trends of second power with increasing feed speed. The sF and nF force decrease when granularity increases from 40 to 80, but these forces present linear increasing trends when granularity increases from 80 to 150.

Progress of Composite Fabrication Technologies with the Use of Machinery

A Macroscopic combination of two or more distinct materials is commonly referred to as a "Composite Material", having been designed mechanically and chemically superior in function and characteristic than its individual constituent materials. Composite materials are used not only for aerospace and military, but also heavily used in boat/ship building and general composite industries which we are seeing increasingly more. Regardless of the various applications for composite materials, the industry is still limited and requires better fabrication technology and methodology in order to expand and grow. An example of this is that the majority of fabrication facilities nearby still use an antiquated wet lay-up process where fabrication still requires manual hand labor in a 3D environment impeding productivity of composite product design advancement. As an expert in the advanced composites field, I have developed fabrication skills with the use of machinery based on my past composite experience. In autumn 2011, the Korea government confirmed to fund my project. It is the development of a composite sanding machine. I began development of this semi-robotic prototype beginning in 2009. It has possibilities of replacing or augmenting the exhaustive and difficult jobs performed by human hands, such as sanding, grinding, blasting, and polishing in most often, very awkward conditions, and is also will boost productivity, improve surface quality, cut abrasive costs, eliminate vibration injuries, and protect workers from exposure to dust and airborne contamination. Ease of control and operation of the equipment in or outside of the sanding room is a key benefit to end-users. It will prove to be much more economical than normal robotics and minimize errors that commonly occur in factories. The key components and their technologies are a 360 degree rotational shoulder and a wrist that is controlled under PLC controller and joystick manual mode. Development on both of the key modules is complete and are now operational. The Korean government fund boosted my development and I expect to complete full scale development no later than 3rd quarter 2012. Even with the advantages of composite materials, there is still the need to repair or to maintain composite products with a higher level of technology. I have learned many composite repair skills on composite airframe since many composite fabrication skills including repair, requires training for non aerospace applications. The wind energy market is now requiring much larger blades in order to generate more electrical energy for wind farms. One single blade is commonly 50 meters or longer now. When a wind blade becomes damaged from external forces, on-site repair is required on the columns even under strong wind and freezing temperature conditions. In order to correctly obtain polymerization, the repair must be performed on the damaged area within a very limited time. The use of pre-impregnated glass fabric and heating silicone pad and a hot bonder acting precise heating control are surely required.
