The process was then simulated with a three-dimensional numerical model. The plane or line patch was used to impose the discharge momentum flux in the near field. A comparison of model simulation with laboratory experiments shows that the proposed model can be used to simulate the shapes of pollution plumes, the distributions of excess concentration, and the velocity induced by a coflowing diffuser in proximity to a shoreline boundary. From the numerical simulation and laboratory experiments, it is recommended that the multiport diffuser be placed in a hydrodynamically active sea-area.展开更多

The model consists of gas and liquid phases corresponding to the inside and outside of the bubble, respectively. The diffusions of chemical species from the gas to the liquid phase through the bubble interface was also investigated. The initial gas is Ar, but includes a little H20 and 02 in the bubble. The time evolution of the OH concentration in the liquid phase was mainly investigated as an important species for water treatment. It was shown that OH was generated in the bubble and then diffused into the liquid. With the application of a continuous nano-pulse discharge, more OH radicals were generated as the frequency increased at a low voltage for a given power consumption.展开更多

文摘While desalination is a key solution for global freshwater scarcity,its implementation faces environmental challenges due to concentrated brine byproducts mainly disposed of via coastal discharge systems.Solar interfacial evaporation offers sustainable management potential,yet inevitable salt nucleation at evaporation interfaces degrades photothermal conversion and operational stability via light scattering and pathway blockage.Inspired by the mangrove leaf,we propose a photothermal 3D polydopamine and polypyrrole polymerized spacer fabric(PPSF)-based upward hanging model evaporation configuration with a reverse water feeding mechanism.This design enables zero-liquiddischarge(ZLD)desalination through phase-separation crystallization.The interconnected porous architecture and the rough surface of the PPSF enable superior water transport,achieving excellent solar-absorbing efficiency of 97.8%.By adjusting the tilt angle(θ),the evaporator separates the evaporation and salt crystallization zones via controlled capillary-driven brine transport,minimizing heat dissipation from brine discharge.At an optimal tilt angle of 52°,the evaporator reaches an evaporation rate of 2.81 kg m^(−2) h^(−1) with minimal heat loss(0.366 W)under 1-sun illumination while treating a 7 wt%waste brine solution.Furthermore,it sustains an evaporation rate of 2.71 kg m^(−2) h^(−1) over 72 h while ensuring efficient salt recovery.These results highlight a scalable,energy-efficient approach for sustainable ZLD desalination.

文摘NaNbO_(3)-based lead-free dielectric ceramics possess significant application prospects in the field of dielectric capacitors.However,their development is hindered by low recoverable energy storage density(W_(rec))and energy storage efficiency(η).Herein,novel NaNbO_(3)-based ceramics,(1-x)[0.7Na_(0.97)Sm_(0.01)NbO_(3)–0.3(Sr_(0.7)Bi_(0.2))(Ti_(0.8)Zr_(0.2))O_(3)]–xCaTiO_(3),were created by adding CaTiO_(3) linear dielectric,aiming to improve their energy storage performance(ESP).The phase structure,microstructure,dielectric properties,energy storage and charge–discharge performances of the ceramics were methodically analyzed.All components of the ceramics exhibit a perovskite structure consisting of two phases:antiferroelectric P-phase(AFE P)and antiferroelectric R-phase(AFE R),with the AFE R phase increasing as x rises.All ceramic surfaces exhibit clear grain morphology.The resultant ceramics have an appropriate dielectric constant and a small dielectric loss,which are beneficial for improving breakdown field strength(E_(b)).Finally,at an E_(b) of 470 kV/cm,0.85[0.7Na_(0.97)Sm_(0.01)NbO_(3)–0.3(Sr_(0.7)Bi_(0.2))(Ti_(0.8)Zr_(0.2))O_(3)]–0.15CaTiO_(3) ceramic achieves optimal ESP:W_(rec)=3.9 J/cm^(3),η=72.49%.In addition,it has remarkable stability with temperature and frequency in energy storage and displays ultrafast speed in the charge–discharge process(t_(0.9)=27 ns).

文摘Straight plasma channels are widely used to guide relativistic intense laser pulses over several Rayleigh lengths for laser wakefield acceleration.Recently,a curved plasma channel with gradually varied curvature was suggested to guide a fresh intense laser pulse and merge it into a straight channel for staged wakefield acceleration[Phys.Rev.Lett.120,154801(2018)].In this work,we report the generation of such a curved plasma channel from a discharged capillary.Both longitudinal and transverse density distributions of the plasma inside the channel were diagnosed by analyzing the discharging spectroscopy.Effects of the gas-filling mode,back pressure and discharging voltage on the plasma density distribution inside the specially designed capillary are studied.Experiments show that a longitudinally uniform and transversely parabolic plasma channel with a maximum channel depth of 47.5µm and length of 3 cm can be produced,which is temporally stable enough for laser guiding.Using such a plasma channel,a laser pulse with duration of 30 fs has been successfully guided along the channel with the propagation direction bent by 10.4◦.

文摘A novel precipitate-free Mg-0.1Sn anode with a homogeneous equal-axis grain structure was developed and rolled successfully at 573 K.Electrochemical test results indicate that the Mg-0.1Sn alloy exhibits enhanced anode dissolution kinetics.A Mg-air battery prepared using this anode exhibits a cell voltage of 1.626 V at 0.5 mA/cm^(2),reasonable anodic efficiency of 58.17%,and good specific energy of 1730.96 mW·h/g at 10 mA/cm^(2).This performance is attributed to the effective reactive anode surface,the suppressed chunk effect,and weak self-corrosion owing to the homogeneous basal texture.

文摘The dominated contradiction in optimizing the performance of magnesium-air battery anode lies in the difficulty of achieving a good balance between activation and passivation during discharge process.To further reconcile this contradiction,two Mg-0.1Sc-0.1Y-0.1Ag anodes with different residual strain distribution through extrusion with/without annealing are fabricated.The results indicate that annealing can significantly lessen the“pseudo-anode”regions,thereby changing the dissolution mode of the matrix and achieving an effective dissolution during discharge.Additionally,p-type semiconductor characteristic of discharge productfilm could suppress the self-corrosion reaction without reducing the polarization of anode.The magnesium-air battery utilizing annealed Mg-0.1Sc-0.1Y-0.1Ag as anode achieves a synergistic improvement in specific capacity(1388.89 mA h g^(-1))and energy density(1960.42 mW h g^(-1)).This anode modification method accelerates the advancement of high efficiency and long lifespan magnesium-air batteries,offering renewable and cost-effective energy solutions for electronics and emergency equipment.
文摘In this work,the combined addition of strontium/indium(Sr/In)to the magnesium anode for Mg-Air Cells is investigated to improve discharge performance by modifying the anode/electrolyte interface.Indium exists as solid solution atoms in theα-Mg matrix without its second-phase generation,and at the same time facilitates grain refinement,dendritic segregation and Mg17Sr2-phases precipitation.During discharge operation,Sr modifies the film composition via its compounds and promoted the redeposition of In at the substrate/film interface;their co-deposition behavior on the anodic reaction surface enhances anode reaction kinetics,suppresses the negative difference effect(NDE)and mitigates the“chunk effect”(CE),which is contributed to uniform dissolution and low self-corrosion hydrogen evolution rate(HER).Therefore,Mg-Sr-xIn alloy anodes show excellent discharge performance,e.g.,0.5Sr-1.0In shows an average discharge voltage of 1.4234 V and a specific energy density of 1990.71 Wh kg^(-1)at 10 mA cm^(-2).Furthermore,the decisive factor(CE and self-discharge HE)for anodic efficiency are quantitively analyzed,the self-discharge is the main factor of cell efficiency loss.Surprisingly,all Mg-Sr-xIn anodes show anodic efficiency greater than 60%at high current density(≥10 mA cm^(-2)),making them excellent candidate anodes for Mg-Air cells at high-power output.

文摘This study exhibits a design of the discharge product film of a bulk AZ63-Ce-La-Ca(AZ63X)anode for Mg-air battery.An ideal discharge product film for Mg anode is that it could inhibit the anodic hydrogen evolution but does not hinder the transfer of the electrons at the interface.Fortunately,the addition of Ce,La,and Ca into AZ63 alloy achieves this goal.The Mg-air battery with AZ63X anode in 3.5%Na Cl has an ultrahigh anodic efficiency of 85.7±1.7%and energy-density of 2431±53 mWh g^(-1)with the unique discharge product film,surpassing the values of most reported Mg-air batteries.Furthermore,the alloying elements reduce the anode delamination effect significantly by transforming the block Mg_(17)Al_(12)phase into the connected Mg_(17)Al_(12)structure and fine rod Al_(2)RE and Al_(2)Ca.
文摘Seawater desalination has been considered an important solution for water scarcity in coastal areas.Morocco,with its 3,500 km long coastline,has seen significant growth in population and industrial activities in recent years.The dams that supply water to most regions of Morocco have faced periods of drought.This led the government to start a large-scale seawater desalination project that shall produce over 2 MM m^(3)/year.The most common environmental impact associated with desalination plants is the high concentration brine discharge which can alter the physical,chemical,and biological properties of the receiving water body,In fact,the increasing number of desalination plants along the coastline amplifies the potential risks that brine discharges pose to marine ecosystems.This highlights the critical need for regulations to manage pollutant concentrations in water,both at the discharge point(Effluent Standards-ES)and in the receiving environment(Ambient Standards-AS).Law 36-15,in its Article 72,grants any natural or legal person,whether public or private,the right to carry out seawater desalination to meet their own water needs or those of other users,in accordance with current legislation and regulations.However,the definition of regulations concerning marine environmental aspects and the substantial limits for discharges has not yet been specified.Indeed,these regulations will need to be developed with due consideration for the local biodiversity.These regulations should also take into account the technical criteria required to determine the compliance point and define the boundaries of the brine discharge impact zone.
