  • Publication number: 20210380461
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for tempering a glass sheet to a surface compressive stress of at least 150 MPa, without hair cracks, to optically good quality and energy-efficiently. Quenching is carried out when the glass sheet travels through a quenching section by blowing air jets on upper and lower surfaces of the glass sheet by a blower, through blowing apertures in the cover of a blowing box and by air compressor pressure through pipe nozzles. In the quenching section, both above and below the glass sheet, are at least three successive compressed air convection blowing zones with separately adjustable blowing pressures. Zone-specific differences in the heat transfer coefficient are implemented by changing the blowing pressures of the pipe nozzles.

  • Publication number: 20210380480
    Abstract: The present invention is a system for repairing asphalt. The system includes a discrete quantity of an asphalt repair composition located within a container and an induction heater. The composition is a combination of an asphalt binder, aggregate particles, and induction particles. The average diameter of the induction particles ranges from approximately 10% above to approximately 10% below an average diameter of the aggregate particles used in the composition. The induction heater heats the composition within the container by generating a magnetic field that penetrates the container. The magnetic field creates eddy currents in the induction particles. These eddy currents in turn heat the composition. Because the induction particles are distributed throughout the composition, the composition heats rapidly.

  • Publication number: 20210380497
    Abstract: A new slow-release fertilizer is described that is formed by applying graphene oxide (GO) as a carrier for micronutrients such as copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn), in which the micronutrients are efficiently bonded with the functional groups at the surface and sides of the GO sheets due to their affinity to the unpaired oxygen atoms in the GO. The prepared Cu-graphene oxide (Cu-GO) and Zn-graphene oxide (Zn-GO) fertilizers showed a biphasic dissolution behaviour compared to commercial zinc sulphate (ZnSO4) and copper sulphate (CuSO4) fertilizer granules, displaying both fast- and slow-release micronutrient release.
