Thallium (TI), an extremely toxic heavy metal, has received much less attention than other toxic heavy metals such as Hg, Cd, and Pb. To date, Tl pollution control studies have usually focused on its removal only, while very few studies have explored its recovery from wastewater. In this study, a magnetite (Fe3O4)-mediated reversible adsorption-desorption process for the removal and recovery of Tl(I) from wastewater was investigated. Fast and efficient removal of TI(I) was achieved via adsorption under alkaline conditions at pH > 11.0, while rapid and effective enrichment of Tl(I) was achieved via desorption under acidic conditions at pH <3.0. The Tl adsorption was effective under high ionic strength even when multiple cations were present. Furthermore, efficient removal of TI was also observed when magnetite was applied to the treatment of real industrial wastewater. Fourier transform infrared and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic studies reveal that surface complexation and electrostatic attraction are the main mechanisms of Tl(I)) removal. The removal and recovery of Tl(I) could be effectively and stably repeated without obvious loss of magnetite, indicating that the magnetite-based reversible adsorption desorption process is a promising technique that can be developed further.

Relative evaluation of probabilistic methods for spatio-temporal wind forecasting
Lars odegaard Bentsen, Narada Dilp Warakagoda, Roy Stenbro, Paal Engelstad
Summary: This study investigates uncertainty modeling in wind power forecasting using different parametric and non-parametric methods. Johnson's SU distribution is found to outperform Gaussian distributions in predicting wind power. This research contributes to the literature by introducing Johnson's SU distribution as a candidate for probabilistic wind forecasting.

Comparison of ethane recovery processes for lean gas based on a coupled model
Xing Liu, Qiuchen Wang, Yunhao Wen, Long Li, Xinfang Zhang, Yi Wang
Summary: This study analyzes the characteristics of process parameters in three lean gas ethane recovery processes and establishes a prediction and multiobjective optimization model for ethane recovery and system energy consumption. A new method for comparing ethane recovery processes for lean gas is proposed, and the addition of extra coolers improves the ethane recovery. The support vector regression model based on grey wolf optimization demonstrates the highest prediction accuracy, and the multiobjective multiverse optimization algorithm shows the best optimization performance and diversity in the solutions.

A novel deep-learning framework for short-term prediction of cooling load in public buildings
Cairong Song, Haidong Yang, Xian-Bing Meng, Pan Yang, Jianyang Cai, Hao Bao, Kangkang Xu
Summary: The paper proposes a novel deep learning-based prediction framework, aTCN-LSTM, for accurate cooling load predictions. The framework utilizes a gate-controlled multi-head temporal convolutional network and a sparse probabilistic self-attention mechanism with a bidirectional long short-term memory network to capture both temporal and long-term dependencies in the cooling load sequences. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method, which can serve as an effective guide for HVAC chiller scheduling and demand management initiatives.

The impact of social interaction and information acquisition on the adoption of soil and water conservation technology by farmers: Evidence from the Loess Plateau, China
Zhe Chen, Xiaojing Li, Xianli Xia, Jizhou Zhang
Summary: This study uses survey data from the Loess Plateau in China to evaluate the impact of social interaction on the adoption of soil and water conservation (SWC) technology by farmers. The study finds that social interaction increases the likelihood of farmers adopting SWC, and internet use moderates this effect. The positive impact of social interaction on SWC adoption is more pronounced for farmers in larger villages and those who join cooperative societies.
