With painting operations as a major origin of environmental concerns in automotive industry, novel and effective technologies are required for treatment of automotive paint wastewater. In this experimental study, a continuous-flow electroflotation reactor with effective volume of 38.4 L and stainless-steel electrodes were designed and implemented for treatment of this industrial wastewater. The system performance, namely the total suspended solids removal, was investigated with operational parameters including the hydraulic retention time, current density and influent total solids concentration. The removal rate ranged between 57 +/- 1% and 95 +/- 7% under initial total solids concentration 3000 mg/L, current density 50 A/m(2), retention time 4 min, and initial total solids concentration 500 mg/L, current density 100 A/m(2), retention time 8 min conditions, respectively. It was found that the removal rate decreases with the increase of influent total solids concentration. The results revealed that the suspended solids removal rate is directly related to the applied current density and hydraulic retention time. The electroflotation system showed to be energy-efficient compared to the commercial systems. Further, an empirical equation for the total suspended solids removal rate was established with the R-2 value of 92.74%. The independent variables were the retention time, influent suspended solids concentration and applied current density. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

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.
