Key water quality parameters including Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), salinity, and Specific Gravity (SG) were measured before and after desalination to assess system effectiveness. Results showed significant reductions in TDS, EC, and salinity levels across all water types, with seawater and brackish water achieving salt rejection rates of 98.32% and 99.16%, respectively. Post-desalination TDS for seawater decreased from 25,000 mg/L to 420 mg/L and for brackish water from 11,900 mg/L to 100 mg/L, achieving potable standards. pH values remained stable within potable standards, while EC values for seawater and brackish water dropped from 50,000 µS/cm to 484 µS/cm and from 12,000 µS/cm to 95 µS/cm, respectively. Water recovery rates varied from 70% to 95.33%, with the highest recovery observed in rainwater and groundwater samples. The overall desalination efficiency was highest for seawater and brackish water, at 82.96% and 84.5%, respectively, demonstrating the PV-RO system’s capability to provide high-quality, potable water from a variety of sources. This study underscores the potential of solar-powered RO technology as a sustainable solution for desalination in regions with diverse water sources and limited access to electricity.展开更多

文摘This study investigates the distribution,geochemical behavior,and potential anthropogenic influences of rare earth elements(REEs)in the surface sediments of Qinghai Lake,the largest saline lake in China.A total of 36 surface sediment samples were analyzed for REE concentrations with a combination of self-organizing maps(SOM)and positive matrix factorization(PMF).Results indicate distinct enrichment patterns,with light REEs(LREEs)exhibiting higher concentrations than heavy REEs(HREEs),reflecting natural abundances and geochemical behaviors.The minimum value was found in Lu as low as 0.091 mg/kg,and the maximum concentration was exhibited in Ce at 78.877 mg/kg.Geoaccumulation index(I_(geo))analysis reveals minor to moderate enrichment of specific REEs of Sm and Nd,suggesting possible localized anthropogenic inputs,particularly near river mouths.Spatial analysis using inverse distance weighting(IDW)and self-organizing maps(SOM)highlights significant correlations between REE distributions and riverine inputs,underscoring fluvial transport's role in sedimentary REE dynamics.PMF identifies mixed natural and anthropogenic sources,with agricultural and industrial activities contributing to elevated REE levels in sediment.These findings provide critical insights into the geochemical behavior of REEs in saline lake systems and off er a foundation for pollution control and sustainable resource management in sensitive environments like Qinghai Lake.
文摘We consider large-time behaviors of weak solutions to the evolutionary p-Laplacian with logarithmic source of time-dependent coefficient.We find that the weak solutions may neither decay nor blow up,provided that the initial data u(·,t_(0))is on the Nehari manifold N:={v∈W_(0)^(1,p)(Ω):I(v,to)=0,||▽v||P^(P)≠0}.This is quite different from the known results that the weak solutions may blow up as,u(·,to)∈N^(+):={v∈W_(0)^(1,p)(Ω):I(v,t_(0))<0}and weak solutions may decay as u(·,t_(0))∈N^(+):={v∈W_(0)^(1,p)(Ω):I(v,t_(0))>0}.

文摘Plasma spark sources are widely used in high-resolution seismic exploration.However,research on the excitation mechanism and propagation characteristics of plasma spark sources is very limited.In this study,we elaborated on the excitation process of corona discharge plasma spark source based on indoor experimental data.The electrode spacing has a direct impact on the movement of bubbles.As the spacing between bubbles decreases,they collapsed and fused,thereby suppressing the secondary pulse process.Based on the premise of linear arrangement and equal energy synchronous excitation,the motion equation of multiple bubbles under these conditions was derived,and a calculation method for the near-field wavelet model of plasma spark source was established.We simulated the source signals received in different directions and constructed a spatial wavelet face spectrum.Compared with traditional far-field wavelets,the spatial wavelet facial feature representation method provides a more comprehensive display of the variation characteristics and propagation properties of source wavelets in three-dimensional space.The spatial wavelet variation process of the plasma spark source was analyzed,and the source depth and the virtual reflection path are the main factors affecting the wavelet.The high-frequency properties of plasma electric spark source wavelets lead to their sensitivity to factors such as wave fluctuations,position changes,and environmental noise.Minor changes in collection parameters may result in significant changes in the recorded waveform and final data resolution.So,the facial feature method provides more effective technical support for wavelet evaluation.
文摘Methane,the primary constituent of natural gas,shale gas,and flammable ice,serves as a crucial carbon-based energy source and chemical feedstock.Traditional gas reserves are universally acknowledged as limited and non-renewable resources over an extended timespan stretching from decades to millennia.Biomethane,with its unique renewable properties,showcases remarkable development potential and presents a compelling supplement and even alternative for fossil fuel.Although catalytic hydrothermal processes appear as promising valorization routes to transfer biomass to sustainable methane,the safety and supply source of high-pressure hydrogen remain key factors restricting the widespread application.Herein,a catalytic approach without an external hydrogen source was developed to transform waste biomass resources into CH_(4)under the Ni-Mo catalyst.The total carbon yield of gas products reached up to 92.2%,of which the yield of methane and C2–C4 hydrocarbons were 44.9%and 3.0%,respectively.And it’s calculated that approximately 343.6 liters of CH_(4)could potentially be generated from 1 kilogram of raw biomass.Ni-based catalysts exhibited the robust activity in cleaving C–C and C–O bonds.And the introduction of an appropriate amount of molybdenum significantly enhanced catalytic performance of reforming and subsequent methanation reaction,likely due to the high adsorption capacity of highly dispersed Ni-Mo catalysts for carbon monoxide and hydrogen molecules,facilitating the methanation reaction.The pathway of catalytic methane production might be inferred that CO,H_(2)and a large number of oxygen-containing intermediates were formed via decarbonylation,dehydrogenation,and retro-aldol condensation reaction under hydrothermal condition.These intermediates then underwent the reforming reaction to generate H_(2)and CO_(2),ultimately forming CH_(4)through the methanation reaction.
文摘The effects of a harmonically exciting monopole source on an infinitely long cylindrical cavity embedded entirely within a fluid-saturated poroelastic formation of infinite extent are examined theoretically.It is assumed that the source is located outside the cavity at a specified distance from the borehole axis.The magnitudes of the hoop and radial stresses beside the pore pressures exerted on the interface and inside the porous medium surrounding the borehole are calculated and discussed.Biot's poroelastic modeling along with three types of boundary conditions for the cylindrical interface including the ideal fluid,empty borehole,and rigid inclusion with a hard boundary is employed for the analysis.Utilizing a proper translational addition theorem for expressing the incident spherical wave in terms of cylindrical wave expansions,the proposed boundary conditions at the interface are satisfied.Stresses are formulated by means of wave potential functions in a three-dimensional(3D)manner.The effects of the frequency and the radial distance between the source and borehole on the induced stresses are examined for the first cylindrical modes over frequency spectra.Two permeability conditions for the interface and three types of soils for the porous formation are considered throughout the analysis.To give an overall outline of the study,a numerical example is presented.The results clearly indicate that the distance is a key parameter and has considerable effects on the induced stress values.In addition,the interface permeability condition and soil characteristics play an important role in determining the dynamic response of the borehole.Finally,the obtained results are compared with the relevant analyses existing in the literature for some limit cases,and good agreement is achieved.

文摘The production processes for Si and FeSi have traditionally been considered slag-free.However,recent excavations have revealed significant accumulation of CaO–SiO_(2)–Al_(2)O_(3)slag within the furnaces.This accumulation can obstruct the flow of materials and gases,resulting in lower metal yield and higher energy consumption.The main objective of the current work is to enhance our understanding of slag formation during Si and FeSi production.We investigate slag formation through the dissolution of limestone and iron oxide in quartz and condensate,focusing on the reactions between these materials at a gram scale.Our findings indicate that most slag reaches equilibrium relatively quickly at temperatures starting from 1673 K.Notably,slag formation starts at lower temperature when the iron source is present (1573 K) compared to when only CaO is involved (1673 K).The minor elements tend to accumulate at quartz grain boundaries prior to slag formation.Furthermore,the slag produced from condensate contains less SiO_(2)than that generated from quartz with limestone.The type of quartz source and SiO_(2)phase appears to have little influence on slag formation.Good wettability is a significant factor in reaction between quartz and slag.FactSage calculations indicates that the viscosity of the slag ranges from 0.02 to 14.4 Pa·s under furnace conditions,comparable to the viscosity of honey or motor oil at room temperature.

文摘Along with the proliferating research interest in semantic communication(Sem Com),joint source channel coding(JSCC)has dominated the attention due to the widely assumed existence in efficiently delivering information semantics.Nevertheless,this paper challenges the conventional JSCC paradigm and advocates for adopting separate source channel coding(SSCC)to enjoy a more underlying degree of freedom for optimization.We demonstrate that SSCC,after leveraging the strengths of the Large Language Model(LLM)for source coding and Error Correction Code Transformer(ECCT)complemented for channel coding,offers superior performance over JSCC.Our proposed framework also effectively highlights the compatibility challenges between Sem Com approaches and digital communication systems,particularly concerning the resource costs associated with the transmission of high-precision floating point numbers.Through comprehensive evaluations,we establish that assisted by LLM-based compression and ECCT-enhanced error correction,SSCC remains a viable and effective solution for modern communication systems.In other words,separate source channel coding is still what we need.
文摘To monitor nuclear and radiation emergencies,it is crucial to obtain accurate in situ measurements of the environmentalγ radiation dose rate from key radionuclides,particularly for large radioactive surface sources.The methods currently used for measuring dose rates are inadequate for obtaining the dose rates of key radionuclides and have large angular response errors when monitoring surface sources.To address this practical problem,this study proposes three methods for measuring the dose rate:the weighted peak total ratio,mean value regression,and numerical integration methods.These methods are based on energy-spectrum measurement data,and they were theoretically derived and numerically evaluated.Finally,a 1-m-long hexagonal radioactive surface source was integrated into a larger surface source.In situ measurement experiments were conducted on a large radioactive surface source using a dose-rate meter and a portable HPGespectrometer to analyze the errors of the three aforementioned methods and verify their validity.

文摘With the development of integrated power and gas distribution systems(IPGS)incorporating renewable energy sources(RESs),coordinating the restoration processes of the power distribution system(PS)and the gas distribution system(GS)by utilizing the benefits of RESs enhances service restoration.In this context,this paper proposes a coordinated service restoration framework that considers the uncertainty in RESs and the bi-directional restoration interactions between the PS and GS.Additionally,a coordinated service restoration model is developed considering the two systems’interdependency and the GS’s dynamic characteristics.The objective is to maximize the system resilience index while adhering to operational,dynamic,restoration logic,and interdependency constraints.A method for managing uncertainties in RES output is employed,and convexification techniques are applied to address the nonlinear constraints arising from the physical laws of the IPGS,thereby reducing solution complexity.As a result,the service restoration optimization problem of the IPGS can be formulated as a computationally tractable mixed-integer second-order cone programming problem.The effectiveness and superiority of the proposed framework are demonstrated through numerical simulations conducted on the interdependent IEEE 13-bus PS and 9-node GS.The comparative results show that the proposed framework improves the system resilience index by at least 65.07%compared to traditional methods.

文摘High-dimensional data(a dataset with many features)were collected from 64 sampling sites to analyze the water quality in estuaries along the coast of the Bohai Sea,North China.The twenty-five water quality parameters analyzed were collected monthly from January 2021 to December 2021.Multivariate statistical techniques,such as the absolute principal component score-multiple linear regression model(APCS-MLR),correlation analysis,and analysis of variance were used to identify and quantify the potential sources or factors affecting water quality and to analyze the spatial-temporal variation in water quality.The water quality indices(WQIs),ranging from 67.96 to 70.67,showed that the water quality was at an intermediate level in the estuaries during both the flood and nonflood seasons.The concentrations of total phosphorus(TP),ammonia N(AN),and organic pollutants were greater in the Haihe River Basin than in the Liaohe River and Huanghe-Huaihe River Basins.The concentration of total nitrogen(TN)in the Haihe River Basin was lower than that in the Liaohe River and Huanghe-Huaihe River Basins.Heavy metal concentrations in the Liaohe River Basin were greater than those in the Haihe River and Huanghe-Huaihe River Basins.The annual mean concentrations of AN in the estuaries of the Haihe,Liaohe,and Huanghe(Yellow)rivers exhibited significant decreasing trends from 2013 to 2022,but no significant decreasing trends were found for permanganate index(COD_(Mn))or the TP.The concentrations of TN and AN were lower in the flood season than in the nonflood season,and the TP concentration was greater in the flood season than in the nonflood season.However,the concentrations of organic pollutants did not exhibit significant differences.Domestic sewage and industrial wastewater,substance exchange between air and water,nonpoint sources from rural and urban areas,and aquaculture wastewater were the major sources or factors responsible for water pollution in the estuaries.

文摘Neutral beam injection(NBI)has been proven as a reliable heating and current drive method for fusion plasma.For the high-energy NBI system(particle energy>150 ke V)of large-scale fusion devices,the negative ion source neutral beam injection(NNBI)system is inevitable,which can obtain an acceptable neutralization efficiency(>55%).But the NNBI system is very complex and challengeable.To explore and master the key NNBI technology for future fusion reactor in China,an NNBI test facility is under development in the framework of the Comprehensive Research Facility for Fusion Technology(CRAFT).The initial goal of CRAFT NNBI facility is to achieve a 2 MW hydrogen neutral beam at the energy of 200–400 ke V for lasting 100 s.In the first operation of the CRAFT NNBI facility,a negative ion source with dual RF drivers was developed and tested.By using the 50 keV accelerator,the long-pulse and highcurrent extractions of negative hydrogen ions have been achieved and the typical values were 55.4 keV,7.3 A(~123 A/m^(2)),105 s and 55.0 keV,14.7 A(~248 A/m^(2)),30 s,respectively.By using the 200 keV accelerator,the megawatt-class negative hydrogen beam has also been achieved(135.9 keV,8.9 A,8 s).The whole process of the gas neutralization of negative ion beam,electric removal of residual ions,and beam transport have been demonstrated experimentally.

文摘Monitoring sensors in complex engineering environments often record abnormal data,leading to significant positioning errors.To reduce the influence of abnormal arrival times,we introduce an innovative,outlier-robust localization method that integrates kernel density estimation(KDE)with damping linear correction to enhance the precision of microseismic/acoustic emission(MS/AE)source positioning.Our approach systematically addresses abnormal arrival times through a three-step process:initial location by 4-arrival combinations,elimination of outliers based on three-dimensional KDE,and refinement using a linear correction with an adaptive damping factor.We validate our method through lead-breaking experiments,demonstrating over a 23%improvement in positioning accuracy with a maximum error of 9.12 mm(relative error of 15.80%)—outperforming 4 existing methods.Simulations under various system errors,outlier scales,and ratios substantiate our method’s superior performance.Field blasting experiments also confirm the practical applicability,with an average positioning error of 11.71 m(relative error of 7.59%),compared to 23.56,66.09,16.95,and 28.52 m for other methods.This research is significant as it enhances the robustness of MS/AE source localization when confronted with data anomalies.It also provides a practical solution for real-world engineering and safety monitoring applications.
文摘The Fengcheng Formation is a crucial source rock and the primary reservoir for oil accumulation in the Mahu Sag.Crude oils are distributed throughout the Fengcheng Formation,ranging from the edge to the interior of the sag in the southern Mahu Sag.These crude oils originate from in-situ source rocks in shallowly buried areas and the inner deep sag.During migration,the crude oil from the inner deep sag affects the source rocks close to carrier beds,leading to changes in the organic geochemical characteristics of the source rocks.These changes might alter source rock evaluations and oil-source correlation.Based on data such as total organic carbon(TOC),Rock-Eval pyrolysis of source rocks,and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS)of the saturated fraction,and considering the geological characteristics of the study area,we define the identification characteristics of source rock affected by migrated hydrocarbons and establish the various patterns of influence that migrated hydrocarbons have on the source rock of the Fengcheng Formation in the southern Mahu Sag.The source rocks of the Fengcheng Formation are mostly fair to good,containing mainly Type II organic matter and being thermally mature enough to generate oil.Source rocks affected by migrated hydrocarbons exhibit relatively high hydrocarbon contents(S1/TOC>110 mg HC/g TOC,Extract/TOC>30%,HC:hydrocarbon),relatively low Rock-Eval Tmax values,and relatively high tricyclic terpane contents with a descending and mountain-shaped distribution.Furthermore,biomarker composition parameters indicate a higher thermal maturity than in-situ source rocks.Through a comparison of the extract biomarker fingerprints of adjacent reservoirs and mudstones in different boreholes,three types of influence patterns of migrated hydrocarbons are identified:the edge-influence of thin sandstone-thick mudstone,the mixed-influence of sandstone-mudstone interbedded,and the full-influence of thick sandstone-thin mudstone.This finding reminds us that the influence of migrated hydrocarbons must be considered when evaluating source rocks and conducting oil-source correlation.
