Abstract

The present invention relates to an MPC-based hierarchical coordinated control method and device for a wind-hydrogen coupling system. The method comprises the following steps: (1) dividing the wind-hydrogen coupling system into upper-layer grid-connected control and lower-layer electrolytic cell control; (2) controlling grid-connected power to track a wind power prediction curve by adopting an MPC control algorithm for upper-layer grid-connected control, and obtaining an electrolytic cell power control quantity for the lower-layer electrolytic cell control at the same time; (3) dividing operation states of electrolytic cell monomers into four operation states of rated power operation, fluctuating power operation, overload power operation and shutdown; and (4) determining the operation states of various electrolytic cell monomers by adopting a time-power double-line rotation control strategy based on the electrolytic cell power control quantity, thus making the electrolytic cell monomers operate in one of the four operating states in turn.

Abstract

Disclosed is a method for recovering phosphorus from sludge rich in chemical phosphorus precipitates using a high-protein biomass waste, comprising introducing the sludge rich in chemical phosphorus precipitates into an anaerobic fermenter, adding a certain amount of a high-protein biomass by-product, sealing the fermenter and fermenting for 4-7 days. The method can effectively increase the phosphorus release efficiency from the sludge, and also generate volatile short-chain fatty acids and ammonia nitrogen in high concentrations. After dewatering, phosphorus and part of ammonia nitrogen can be recovered in a form of high-purity struvite crystals only by addition of a magnesium salt and adjustment of pH to 7.5-9.0. The volatile short-chain fatty acids can be used as an economical carbon source. The method allows simultaneous utilization of two solid wastes to recover carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus resources, and can reduce the usage of chemical reagents, saving the treatment cost.

The present disclosure relates to a method for pre-warning deformation of a casing pipe according to a change feature of the b-value of the hydraulic fracturing induced microseismicity. Based on number distribution and seismic magnitudes of hydraulic fracturing induced microseismic monitoring events, a b-value of microseismicity in a fracturing stage is calculated according to a Gutenberg-Richter relation describing frequency-seismic magnitude distribution in seismology, and whether fault activation occurs in a fracturing process is identified according to a change feature of the b-value. According to the method, a cumulative effect of fault activation in the hydraulic fracturing process is considered, and symptoms of fault activation in the fracturing process can be accurately identified, so as to pre-warn deformation of the casing pipe.

A process for enhanced anaerobic digestion of sludge by alcoholization of food waste, comprising steps of: (1) ethanol prefermentation of food waste—feeding the food waste having been crushed into a uniform grain size into an ethanol production reactor, where the food waste is subjected to rapid and efficient anaerobic fermentation activated by addition of yeast and pH adjustment to produce ethanol and obtain a fermentation broth and a fermentation residue; (2) sludge pretreatment—pretreating the sludge after mixing with the fermentation residue; and (3) methanogenesis of anaerobic digestion—subjecting products resulting from the sludge pretreatment to be mixed with the fermentation broth and then to methanogenesis of anaerobic digestion in a methane production reactor. With this process, the sludge and the food waste can be treated efficiently via multi-phase reactions, and the resource recovery and biogas quality can be enhanced.

Abstract

A copper integrated electrode with a convertible oxidation state, a preparation method and an application method are provided. The preparation process is based on an electrochemically induced self-growth method. Copper foam is used as a precursor, soaked in a graphene oxide solution, dried, calcined at high temperature and annealed, and then treated with an alkali solution to obtain the copper integrated electrode with the convertible oxidation state. The working electrode prepared by the nano-catalytic material of the present invention has good denitrification performance in the environmental field, which can achieve nearly 100% nitrate removal rate, nearly 100% nitrogen selectivity and long-term stability. These properties are due to the prepared working electrode having an oxidizable copper (I, II/0, I), oxygen vacancy (O) and a one-dimensional nanowire structure. The structure can regulate the adsorption and reduction of intermediate products, resulting in nearly 100% nitrate removal rate and nearly 100% nitrogen selectivity.

The new method includes both acute and chronic toxicity tests. The test water sample can be either a single substance solution or an actual disinfection water sample. The brine shrimp has high sensitivity and is convenient to hatch and culture. The raw materials are inexpensive and easily available. The requirements for the culture environment are not high, and the toxicity end-point is clear. The new method is simple, sensitive and economical, and therefore, a popularization is feasible in sewage and reuse water plants.

With a porous structure and a large specific surface area (SSA), the cathode material significantly increases the output of H2O2 when used in an electric Fenton system.

Abstract

An air-fuel ratio control system for a hybrid vehicle engine is provided, including a torque coordination calculation module, which converts a target effective torque of a hybrid power control unit into a target indicated torque; a torque estimation module, which obtains an estimated indicated torque according to an operating state of an engine; an air-fuel ratio feedback control module, which generates a feedback correction factor based on deviation between the estimated indicated torque and the target indicated torque; and an air-fuel ratio feedforward control module, which converts the target indicated torque into an air-fuel ratio feedforward control signal according to a calibration parameter and engine speed. A target air-fuel ratio is obtained by correcting the air-fuel ratio feedforward control signal, via the feedback correction factor; and the target air-fuel ratio is configured to act on the engine to achieve air-fuel ratio control.

Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a three-dimensional seismic and vibration isolator with adaptive stiffness property in both vertical and horizontal directions. The isolator comprises an upper connection plate, a middle plate, an lower connection plate, a disc spring, a pre-compressed helical springs, a laminated lead rubber bearing, and viscous dampers. The upper connection plate, the middle plate and lower connection plate are made of high strength low carbon steel. The upper connection plate and middle plate are tightly contacted by the occlusive design, to guide the vertical motion. The vertical isolation system is made up of the disc spring, pre-compressed helical spring, and viscous damper. The horizontal isolation system comprises the laminated lead rubber bearing, pre-compressed helical spring and viscous damper. The disclosure adopts the theory of nonlinear adaptive vibration control technology and can be used to protect building structures or instruments from the seismic strikes or other environmental vibrations.

Abstract

A device for continuous production of polyferric chloride and a method are disclosed. The device includes a first mixing pipeline, a second reaction pipeline, a third reaction pipeline, and a concentration device sequentially connected. The first mixing pipeline, the second reaction pipeline and the third reaction pipeline are each provided with a circulating spray device, and the circulating spray device includes a reflux pump, a reflux pipeline and an atomizer. The atomizer includes an atomizing pipe, and a chemical filler plate for promoting gas-liquid contact is arranged below the atomizing pipe. The reflux pump is used to extract liquid from each reaction tank, and then transport the liquid to the atomizer on the top of the reaction tank. The atomizer is driven by the pressure of the reflux pump or the motor to atomize the liquid.
