Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to address the flaws of traditional methods and fulfil the special fault‐tolerant re‐entry navigation requirements of reusable boost vehicle (RBV).

Design/methodology/approach

A kind of improved estimation method based on strong tracking unscented Kalman filter (STUKF) is put forward. According to the fact that the traditional state χ2‐test‐based fault diagnosis method is incompetent to detect the signal point small jerks and slowly varying fault in the measurement, a kind of original fault diagnosis technology based on STUKF is used to check the working states of navigation sensors.

Findings

The comparisons with χ2‐test method under typical failure distributions validate the perfect state tracking and fault diagnosis performances of this improved method.

Practical implications

This kind of state estimation and fault diagnosis method could be used in the navigation and guidance systems for many kinds of aeronautical and astronautical vehicles.

Originality/value

A kind of novel strong tracking state estimation filter is used, and a kind of very effective fault diagnosis criterion is put forward for the navigation of RBV.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to focus on the preparation of Kevlar fiber (KF) and alkaline hydrolyzed KF (KF-H) to improve the dispersed condition of polyaniline (PAn), as the aggregation of PAn would lead to some adsorption sites buried. And then the materials were used to enrich anionic dye Congo red (CR) from aqueous solution.

Design/methodology/approach

The materials (KF@PAn and KF-H@PAn) were designed by means of “diffusion-interfacial-polymerization” under mild condition as high affinity due to the structural properties of PAn, KF and KF-H. The dispersed degree of PAn on the surface of KF and KF-H was validated according to adsorption efficiency for CR.

Findings

The content of PAn introduced was not beyond 20 wt.%, while adsorption capacity for CR was significantly enhanced by 4–8 times (on the basis of kinetic data) according to the calculation only by the content of PAn due to KF and alkaline hydrolyzed KF exhibited almost no adsorption for CR, indicating dispersed situation of PAn coating was greatly enhanced and more active sites exposed, which was favorable for the adsorption process. Presence of NaCl would exhibit a more or less positive effect on CR uptake, suggesting the materials could be used for high salt environment.

Research limitations/implications

The investigated means of dispersed degree of PAn on the surface of KF and KF-H are the further and future investigation.

Practical implications

This study will provide a method to improve the dispersed situation of PAn and a theoretical support to treat anionic dyes from aqueous solution especially for salt environment.

Originality/value

The results showed that the dispersed condition of PAn on the surface of KF and KF-H was greatly improved. According to the adsorption capacities for CR, it can be concluded that part of adsorption sites were buried due to the aggregation of PAn, and introduction of KF and KF-H, buried adsorption sites decreased greatly. This study will provide a method to decrease buried adsorption sites of PAn and a contribution for their convenient application in wastewater treatment especially for high salt environment.
