    Through the analysis of the decomposition reaction process, the factors affecting the crude phenol moisture are found. The high pH value of solution after decomposition, the unstable stirring speed of compressed air, the short standing time and the water leakage of the pipeline have great influence on the high moisture content of crude phenol. By adjusting the pH value of solution 5~7, slowly adjusting the wind speed, prolonging the standing time and reforming the pipeline, the moisture content of crude phenol is significantly reduced from more than 16% to less than 14%, good results having been achieved.

    In the paper, it is introduced the research situation on standard residual stress of heat treatment rail in Baotou Steel, and analyzed the heat treatment rail of Baotou Steel by means of patch method, incision method and X-ray diffraction, and analyzed the residual stress date of on-line heat treatment rail in Baotou Steel by being compared with hot rolled rail. The patch method test results show that the residual stress of rail heads for heat treatment rail produced by Baotou Steel is larger than that of hot rolled rail; the incision method test results show that the overall residual tensile stress of rail is larger than that of hot rolled rail; the X-ray diffraction method shows that the residual stress distribution on rail surface is uneven.
