Fabrication of magnetically recoverable Fe3O4/CdS/g-C3N4 photocatalysts for effective degradation of ciprofloxacin under visible light

Photocatalytic technology is an environmentally safe method of eliminating organic pollutants and antibiotics in wastewater. In this research, the performance of Fe₃O₄/CdS/g-C₃N₄ (FCN) photocatalyst for degradation of antibiotics was studied. The composite photocatalysts with different concentrations of g-C₃N₄ were prepared. FCN has better photocatalytic activity than degradation dyes in removal of antibiotics under visible light. This indicates that FCN could effectively hinder the recombination of carriers, and the addition of g-C₃N₄ increases the optical response range of CdS. At the same time, the introduction of Fe₃O₄ magnetic nanoparticles overcomes the problem of difficulty in recovery of the powder photocatalyst. The photocatalytic activity is not reduced to any significant after three cycles of use.     

基于彩色图像处理的浮选尾煤灰分软测量研究

浮选尾煤灰分是浮选产品的一个重要指标。针对选煤厂浮选尾煤灰分多采用离线检测而无法实现在线准确测量，以及当前浮选软测量多采用单一的灰度图像从而导致软测量模型精度及适应性较差的问题，提出了一种基于彩色图像处理的浮选尾煤软测量方法，建立了基于最小二乘支持向量机(LSSVM)的浮选尾煤灰分软测量模型。模型以不同颜色空间的彩色特征、灰度均值以及浓度特征为输入变量，以尾煤灰分作为输出变量，采用粒子群优化算法对LSSVM模型参数进行优化。结果表明：所建立的尾煤灰分软测量模型可以较好地实现浮选尾矿灰分的在线预测，引入浮选尾矿图像的彩色特征可以提高尾煤图像分析的精度，预测精度达96.89%。研究成果在柳湾选煤厂现场应用，并取得了较好的尾矿灰分测量效果。

User activities and the heterogeneity of urban space:The case of Dahiyat Al Hussein park

Urban researchers have maintained a constant interest in the complexity and continuity of urban space usage. Some have applied actor–network theory (ANT) to investigate the heterogeneity of spaces and present them through the networks of their users’ activities. However, these accounts are predominantly limited in examining the extent to which these spaces may be heterogeneous when exploring such networks. This paper draws on recent ANT scholarship, which employs an ethnographic research conducted in a main park in a housing project at Dahiyat Al Hussein in Amman, Jordan. The findings describe the complex and unpredictable negotiations that occur within spaces by documenting the varieties and interrelations among user activity networks within this common and shared urban space. This research reveals the extent to which spaces, parks in this case, may be heterogeneous by unpacking their usage. The conclusions and insights assert the necessity of paying attention to design detail and creating designs that are responsive to evolving user activities.

Tuning morphology and structure of Fe–N–C catalyst for ultra-high oxygen reduction reaction activity

Exploring efficient and durable non-precious metal catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) has long been pursued in the field of metal-air batteries, fuel cells, and solar cells. Rational design and controllable synthesis of desirable catalysts are still a great challenge. In this work, a novel approach is developed to tune the morphologies and structures of Fe–N–C catalysts in combination with the dual nitrogen-containing carbon precursors and the gas-foaming agent. The tailored Fe–N₁/N₂–C-A catalyst presents gauze-like porous nanosheets with uniformly dispersed tiny nanoparticles. Such architectures exhibit abundant Fe-N_x active sites and high-exposure surfaces. The Fe–N₁/N₂–C-A catalyst shows extremely high half-wave potential (E_1/2, 0.916 V vs. RHE) and large limiting current density (6.3 mA cm⁻²), far beyond 20 wt% Pt/C catalyst for ORR. This work provides a facile morphological and structural regulation to increase the number and exposure of Fe-N_x active sites.     

Mechanical and fracture investigation of magnesia refractories with acoustic emission-based method

In this study, the fracture behaviour of magnesia, magnesia chrome and magnesia spinel (MgAl₂O₄ and FeAl₂O₄) refractories under wedge splitting test are qualitatively and quantitatively investigated with the acoustic emission (AE) and digital image correlation (DIC). First of all, the concepts of characteristic widths are proposed for estimating the brittleness of refractory materials according to the shape of load-displacement curve and validated by their good correlation with the characteristic length. Besides, the AE data are analyzed with AE parameter-based approaches and offer new insight into the fracture behaviour of refractory materials, including the classification of the cracking events in grains and in matrix, the distinction between the tensile mode and shear mode damage, and the visualization of the fracture process zone development. It confirms that the pre-existing micro-crack networks in refractories are favourable for the brittleness reduction, which enhance their nonlinear fracture behaviour and thermal shock resistance.
