The purpose of this work was to regenerate spent powered activated carbon (PAC) which was exhausted in the decolorization of sodium salicylate (NaSA) liquor. In this research, a facile procedure of chemical regeneration was performed and a simple and accurate spectrophotometric method was applied. In order to obtain the optimal operation conditions, influences of following parameters were verified: soaking time, heating temperature, acid concentration and reaction time. PAC was also characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) to investigate the adsorbate-adsorbent interactions and their dependences on temperature. The optimal conditions for PAC regeneration were as follows: NaOH (1 M) soaking time of 1 h, H2SO4 concentration of 0.31 mol L-1 and agitating at 95 degrees C for 1 h. The peaks of derivative thermogravimetric (DTG) pyrolysis profiles of exhausted PAC appeared at low temperatures (similar to 180 degrees C and similar to 260 degrees C), which demonstrated the adsorption of colored contaminants was a weak physisorption. In pilot plant experiments, it was found that after four consecutive adsorption-regeneration cycles, the adsorption capacity of PAC was maintained at high levels, even higher than virgin PAC. Therefore, this method was very simple, economical and had successfully applied in industrial scale. (C) 2014 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.
