  • Publication number: 20240140824
    Abstract: An integrated device and method for enrichment, purification and separation of microplastics in a secondary effluent are provided. This integrated device comprises a micro-spray system and a filtering system with multi-stage filtering units, and marked screen meshes were installed in each filtering unit. The microplastics in secondary effluent are enriched on the surface of the marked screen meshes through the retaining effect. Then, lower concentration of alkali, acid or oxidant combined with the heat treatment to weaken the interaction forces between the inorganic/organic foulants and the enriched microplastic. On this basis, the micro-spray system was used to rinse the multistage filtration system, which generated shear force to carry away the foulants on the surfaces of the enriched microplastics, thereby achieving the purification and separation of microplastics synchronously. These are performed in the marked screen meshes, in which the microplastic are not subject to any path transfer or loss.

  • Publication number: 20240102955
    Abstract: A non-invasive time domain reflection probe calibration method includes: using different volume ratio of ethanol and deionized water mixed solution to calculate a test target's medium weight coefficient and waveguide length of the non-invasive time domain reflection probes; using different concentrations of NaCl solutions to calibrate a waveguide geometric dimensioning of the non-invasive time domain reflection probes; preparing compacted soil samples with known different moisture contents and densities, and calibrating a correlation parameter of compacted soil samples' dielectric constant and conductivity with moisture content and density. The method not only determines the sensitivity of the test target medium of the non-invasive time domain reflection probes, but also obtains the waveguide length and geometric dimensioning of the probe, and realizes an accurate test of moisture content and density of the soil.

  • Patent number: 11939341
    Abstract: Provided are an organic compound, an electroluminescent material and an application thereof. The organic compound has a structure represented by Formula I. With the design of the spiro parent structure and the introduction of specific substituents, the organic compound can prevent materials from stacking and reduce the crystallinity of the molecule. The design of the spiro structure and substituents make the organic material have a high triplet state energy level Ti, and the nitrogen heterocycle and its linking groups make the organic compound have characteristics of good electron and hole transport performances. The organic compound has suitable HOMO and LUMO energy levels, facilitating the coordination of adjacent layers in terms of energy level. The organic compound also has advantages of high glass-transition temperature and good molecular thermal stability. Therefore, the organic compound can effectively improve the light emitting efficiency and lifetime of the device.

  • Publication number: 20240067545
    Abstract: A method for constructing a dynamic-like membrane to control membrane fouling of MBR includes: determining a critical pore size of a base material according to an average size of activated sludge in a membrane tank. The base material is detachably fixed on the outer layer of a conventional MBR module, which is placed into the membrane tank of a wastewater treatment system. Then the aeration rate of a membrane area in the MBR module is reduced. With the assistance of the driving pressure of the MBR module itself and the physical interception of the base material, the inherent activated sludge in the membrane tank is used to form a dynamic-like membrane on the surface of the base material.

  • Publication number: 20230251221
    Abstract: An in-situ evaluation method and system for loess collapsibility based on non-destructive time-domain reflection technology, includes: calculating loess dry density and mass water content; considering loess dry density, mass water content and basic physical property indicators, and evaluating loess collapsibility in situ through mathematical models. The loess collapsibility in-situ evaluation method based on the non-destructive time domain reflectometry technology of the present invention can not only realize whether the loess has collapsibility, but also has the potential to distinguish strong, medium and slight collapsibility.
