摘要： Modeling systems and methods for constructing one or more models of a computing system using collected data. Certain model-based systems build topology models and/or model instances by transforming collected performance data into a collection-location independent form. In certain examples, systems include at least one agent for collecting performance data from monitored resource(s), canonical data transform (CDT) configurations, and a data transformation module for performing data transform operation(s) on the performance data based on at least one CDT configuration. The data transform operation may include generating and/or updating a topology model, assigning metrics to model object(s), updating properties of model object(s), creating associations between existing model objects, or the like. Certain systems and methods also allow for a single piece of data to be processed by multiple models or for pieces of data collected from different locations to be matched and/or associated with the same model object.

摘要： A process for removing anionic impurities from a caustic aluminate solution having aqueous tetrahydroxy aluminate ions is described. A caustic aluminate solution is obtained such that anionic impurities are partially or substantially substituted into tetrahydroxy aluminate ions to form substituted aluminate ions. A suitable calcium compound, such as quicklime, is reacted in a conventional slaker (10) with a slaking solution, for example water, and stored in an agitated storage tank (12). The resulting slurry is pumped to a reaction vessel (14) where it is reacted with a caustic aluminate solution under appropriate conditions such that the calcium compound is converted into tricalcium aluminate (TCA) precipitate. Upon reaction substituted aluminate ions are substantially incorporated within the TCA precipitate to form a substituted TCA precipitate enabling the anionic impurities to be removed from the solution via the substituted TCA precipitate for disposal or recovery. The caustic aluminate liquor may be optionally fortified with an anionic impurity by mixing it in a mixing tank (16) with the anionic impurity.

摘要： An improved process for the production of tricalcium aluminate (TCA) filter aid for use in an alumina refinery is described. Quicklime is slaked in a slaker tin using a suitable slaking solution to form a slaked lime slurry (10). A suitable surface-active agent is added to the slaking solution prior to slaking of the lime. Alternatively, the surface-active agents can be added to the slaked lime either during slaking or after slaking. The slaked lime slurry is then transferred to a stirred storage/transfer tank (12) before it is pumped to a lime aging tank (14). A concentrated Bayer liquor and steam are added to the tank (14) to provide a caustic aluminate solution that reacts with the slaked lime. Sufficient residence time is allowed in the lime aging tank (14) for the initial product of the reaction to “age” before use, forming relatively pure particles of the thermodynamically stable TCA. The addition of a suitable surface-active agent or agents at the appropriate concentration will significantly improve TCA formation in the lime aging facility. These improvements include a narrower and more symmetric sized distribution, and a more crystalline structure, leading to substantially improved filtration characteristics.

摘要： A process for the removal and causticisation of sodium oxalate and/or sodium sulphate from a Bayer process liquor containing sodium carbonate and one or both of sodium oxalate and sodium sulphate in an alumina refinery is described. The process is based on the observation that to efficiently causticise sodium oxalate solutions, it is first necessary to remove the aluminate ion from solution, optionally with recovery of the aluminate ion in some later step. This is effected by removing aluminate ions from the Bayer liquor through the formation of a carbonate bearing hydrocalumite and/or sulpha-bearing hydrocalumite. The liquor may then be treated with sufficient lime to remove and causticise any residual carbonate ions and some or all of the oxalate ions present so that any reacted lime solids thus formed can be separated and safely disposed of. The process may include a pre-causticisation step in which the Bayer liquor is first causticised to reduce the concentration of carbonate ions, prior to the step of removing aluminate ions. The invention provides an effective process for the removal of sodium sulphate and a practical method for the recovery of soda from sodium sulphate. The efficiency of lime utilisation can also be dramatically increased from about 20% to 80% (if sulphate removal is not the objective) wherein alumina losses can be minimised. The oxalate concentration of the process liquor is also substantially lower than can usually be achieved in processes based on sodium oxalate-crystallisation.
