EAF dust is a complex material consisting mostly of metal oxides. Since electric arc furnaces typically rely on scrap metal for their charge and the composition of the dust is directly associated with the chemistry of the metallic charge used, increased use of galvanized steel to manufacture automobile bodies and paneling has increased the zinc content in the dust over the years. When galvanized steel scrap is melted in a steel making furnace, most of the zinc vaporizes and ends up in the dust as zinc oxide and zinc ferrite. In addition, trace quantities of precious metals such as gold are also found in EAFD. In order to make a complete characterization of electric-arc furnace (EAF) dust, as hazardous industrial waste, and to solve its permanent disposal and/or recovery, bearing in mind both the volumes formed in the steel industry and experiences of developed industrial countries, a study of its properties was undertaken. For this purpose, samples of EAF dust, taken from the regular production process in more Integrated iron and steel works were subjected to a series of tests. The chemical composition of EAF dust samples was investigated by means of a several different analytical methods. The results from the chemical analysis show that the approximate order of abundance of major elements in EAF dusts is as follows: Fe, Zn, Mn, Ca, Mg, Si, Pb, S, Cr, Cu, Al, C, Ni, Cd, As and Hg. Granular-metric composition of single samples was determined by applying sieve separation. Scanning electron micro-structural examination of EAF dust microstructure was performed and results indicated that all twelve EAF dusts were composed of solid spherical agglomerates with Fe, Zn, Pb, O, Si and Ca as the principal element. The investigation of grain morphology and the mineralogical composition of EAF dust were taken by combination of high resolution Auger electron spectroscopy (HR AES), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray powder diffraction analysis. The analysis of XPS-sp

The demand for the manufacture of micro components is increasing because many products are slim due to their portable use. A new production system is an interesting time in microassembly systems. The performance of the micro-robotic system has the potential to have an important role in such applications with reference to the transportation, handling and storage of micro objects. For many years, has developed an automated system consisting of multiple drilling micro-robots. In this paper, with the aid of the control of "cluster" type for more micro-robots may deduct an execution of an application by drilling into the work area. This control "cluster" type may provide some advantages having in view the accuracy and flexibility of micro fabrication.

Motivations for controlling heavy metal concentrations in gas streams are diverse. Some of them are dangerous to health or to the environment (e.g. Hg, Cd, As, Pb, Cr), some may cause corrosion (e.g. Zn, Pb), some are harmful in other ways (e.g. Arsenic may pollute catalysts). Within the European community the 13 elements of highest concern are As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sn, and Tl, the emissions of which are regulated in waste incinerators. Some of these elements are actually necessary for humans in minute amounts (Co, Cu, Cr, Ni) while others are carcinogenic or toxic, affecting, among others, the central nervous system (Hg, Pb, As), the kidneys or liver (Hg, Pb, Cd, Cu) or skin, bones, or teeth (Ni, Cd, Cu, Cr). Heavy metals occur naturally in the ecosystem with large variations in concentration. In modern times, anthropogenic sources of heavy metals, i.e. pollution, have been introduced to the ecosystem.

The main quest in this work is to develop a novel combined longitudinal and lateral controller that reliably attends the needs of precise motion control of highway vehicles. In pursuit of this a novel hybrid controller setup consisting of a PD (proportional-derivative) controller and an adaptive fuzzy controller is developed. The PD function is to do the main tracking in the domains of longitudinal and lateral control while the adaptive fuzzy controller is to address the coupling effects, nonlinearity issues and model uncertainties with further refining the output results. A three degrees-of-freedom (DOF) nonlinear vehicle model is used for the development and testing purposes of the controller. The controller is tested for viability in rigorous simulated scenarios subjected to some extreme parametric limitations. The results obtained from these tests proved the effectiveness of the controller that has been developed.

This paper discusses an approach to tune the PID controller parameters using the optimization method. The method involves analytically calculating the gain of the controller (Kc), integral time (Ti) and the derivative time (Td) for PID controlled systems whose process is modeled in first order lag plus time delay (FOLPD) form. A mat lab program is used to find the optimum value of the PID controller parameters which can achieve most of the systems requirements such as reducing the overshoot, maintain a high system response, achieve a good load disturbances rejection and maintain robustness. The objective function is selected so as to minimize the integral of Time Absolute Error (ITAE) performance index. A comparison between the proposed tuning rules and the traditional tuning rules is done through the Matlab software to show the efficiency of the new tuning rule.

The material for experiments was an aluminum alloys series 2xxx obtained by thermo-mechanical processing using different parameters of artificial aging. The slab of Al alloys was rolled at 450-400oC for 7-8 hours, solution treated at 500 ± 5o C, maintaining time 40 minutes, quenched in water and artificial aging at 100-220o C during respectively 10-240 minutes. After rolling and heat treatment the obtained alloys was corroded in solution of NaCl with 7.33-8.33 pH at room temperature and analyzed the evolution of potential of electrode depending on time in correlation of structural modification. In addition was studied the electrochemical corrosion behaviour in sodium thiosulphate solution 0.5M using a potentiostatic device. The corrosion characteristics of rolled and heat treated 2xxx Al alloys were predicted through statistical analysis of the measured pitting potential and pitting time at different parameters of aging.
