Prediction of Outlet Pressure for the Sulfur Dioxide Blower Based on Conv1D-BiGRU Model and Genetic Algorithm.

The sulfur dioxide blower is a centrifugal blower that transports various gases in the process of acid production with flue gas. Accurate prediction of the outlet pressure of the sulfur dioxide blower is quite significant for the process of acid production with flue gas. Due to the internal structure of the sulfur dioxide blower being complex, its mechanism model is difficult to establish. A novel method combining one-dimensional convolution (Conv1D) and bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU) is proposed for short-term prediction of the outlet pressure of sulfur dioxide blower. Considering the external factors such as inlet pressure and inlet flow rate of the blower, the proposed method first uses Conv1D to extract periodic and local correlation features of these external factors and the blower's outlet pressure data. Then, BiGRU is used to overcome the complexity and nonlinearity in prediction. More importantly, genetic algorithm (GA) is used to optimize the important hyperparameters of the model. Experimental results show that the combined model of Conv1D and BiGRU optimized by GA can predict the outlet pressure of sulfur dioxide blower accurately in the short term, in which the root mean square error (RMSE) is 0.504, the mean absolute error (MAE) is 0.406, and R-square (R 2) is 0.993. Also, the proposed method is superior to LSTM, GRU, BiLSTM, BiGRU, and Conv1D-BiLSTM.

Evaluating Lead Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals as a Spin Laser Gain Medium.

Spin-polarized charge endows conventional lasers with not only new functionalities but also reduced lasing thresholds thanks to the lifting of spin degeneracy. II-VI and III-V semiconductors have been extensively investigated as spin laser gain mediums; however, the degree of polarization is limited by the light hole and heavy hole degeneracy. Herein, we evaluate the potential of CsPbBr3 nanocrystals─ones that are featured with low band-edge degeneracy and therefore a high degree of polarization as a result of inverted band structure and large spin-orbit coupling─as a gain medium for spin lasers. Our experiment and numerical modeling results reveal that, within the spin relaxation lifetime, the optical gain threshold can be depressed by polarizing the charge using circularly polarized photoexcitation. However, prolonging the spin relaxation lifetime is required to realize a spin laser.

[Speciation and distribution characters of rare earth elements in the Baotou Section of the Yellow River].

As a whole of water column, suspended matter and surface sediment in the mainstream and the branch taking up industry wastewater, speciation and distribution characters of rare earth elements (REEs) were investigated systemically in the Baotou section of the Yellow River. This study shows that rare earth elements in the mainstream of the Baotou section of the Yellow River mainly exist in suspended particles, and the dissolved contents are in extremely minute quantities. REEs mainly exist in dissolved particles in the branch taking up industry wastewater, and suspended sigma REE and dissolved sigma REE are obviously higher than those in the mainstream. The change of sigma REE of dissolved particles in water phase along the Baotou section of the Yellow River is very similar to that of sigma REE of suspended particles, and consistent along the main river, it is that sigma REE increase appreciably from the control profile to the keystone discharged section, come to a head in the D site and reduce in the E site. This distribution pattern indicates pile industry wastewater of Baotou to rare earth elements in the mainstream of the Yellow River, particularly LREE. The REE distribution in the mainstream of the Baotou section of the Yellow River is the same, with LREE enrichment and Eu depletion. But LREE origin of D site is different from the other sites by excursion of LREE distribution curve and other geochemical parameters, they are origin of industry wastewater piled, otherwise the other four sites are origin of loess altiplano. And HREE are origin of loess altiplano in all the sites. The speciation characteristics of REE in the sediments and suspended matter are quite similar with the amount in as follows: residual >> bound to carbonates, bound to Fe-Mn oxides > bound to organic matter >> exchangeable. REEs exchangeable in surface sediment and suspended matter in the branch taking up industry wastewater are higher than those in the mainstream, it confirms that REEs in the mainstream mainly exist in suspended particles, and mainly exist in dissolved particles in the branch.
