  • Publication number: 20230192204
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a trailer and a vehicle. The trailer comprises: a structural beam; and at least one container protector installed on the structural beam; wherein the container protector comprises a drive member and a protection member, the drive member being adapted to drive the protection member to rise and lower, and the protection member being capable of providing a limiting function for a container on the trailer when raised. The present disclosure may automatically raise the protection member after installing the container on the trailer so that the protection member locks the container; before the container is to be unloaded, the protection member is automatically retracted to release the limiting function for the container. In this way, it is no longer necessary to specially manually tighten or loosen a shackle of a container, realizing the intelligent control of cargo loading and unloading.

  • Publication number: 20230075724
    Abstract: Electrochemical methods using intercalation chemistry to extract Li from seawater using the TiO2-coated FePO4 electrode. The difference in the thermodynamic intercalation potentials, as well as the diffusion barriers between Li and Na, could provide near 100% selectivity towards Li interaction when Li/Na molar ratio is higher than 10-3. For lower Li/Na ratio as in the authentic seawater case, pulsed-rest and pulse-rest-reverse pulse-rest electrochemical methods were developed to lower the intercalation overpotential and it was proven to successfully boost the Li selectivity. Moreover, the pulse-rest-reverse pulse-rest method can also promote electrode crystal structure stability during the co-intercalation of Li and Na and prolong the lifetime of the electrode. Finally, 10 cycles of successful and stable Li extraction with 1:1 of Li to Na recovery from authentic seawater were demonstrated, which is equivalent to the selectivity of ˜1.8×104. Also, with lake water of higher initial Li/Na ratio of 1.

  • Patent number: 11517950
    Abstract: Soil contamination by heavy metals constitutes an important environmental problem, whereas field applicability of existing remediation technologies has encountered numerous obstacles, such as long operation time, high chemical cost, large energy consumption, secondary pollution, and soil degradation. A design and demonstration of a method is provided which is based on asymmetrical alternating current electrochemistry (AACE) that achieves high degrees of contaminant removal for different heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Cd) at different initial concentrations (from 100 to 10,000 ppm), all reaching corresponding regulation levels for residential scenario after rational treatment time (from 30 min to 6 h). No excessive nutrient loss in treated soil was observed and no secondary toxic product was produced. Long-term experiment and plant assay showed the high sustainability of the method and its feasibility for agricultural use.
