Geochemistry of Late Carboniferous sedimentary rocks from the Zongwulong structural belt and adjacent areas, Qaidam Basin, China: implications for provenance and tectonic setting

Yuan Peng,Yongsheng Zhang,Jiaopeng Sun,Enyuan Xing,Huatai Yu 한국지질과학협의회 2018 Geosciences Journal Vol.22 No.2

This paper documents the geochemistry of clastic sedimentary rocks from the Upper Carboniferous Zongwulong Group in the Zongwulong structural belt of the Qaidam Basin, NW China, in order to trace the sources of the sediments and to understand their tectonic settings at the time of deposition of the Zongwulong Group. Although the major elements differ among different samples, their low mean chemical index of alteration mean CIA = 51.04–64.79), plagioclase index of alteration (mean PIA = 51.41–69.54), and relatively high mean index of compositional variability (mean ICV = 1.18–1.56) indicate relatively low maturity and weak to moderate chemical weathering of their source. The Zr/Sc-Th/Sc diagram and relatively high mean ICV suggest that all sediments of Zongwulong Group have undergone no significant sediment recycling. All samples yield relatively high Al2O3/TiO2 ratios (16–27), strong LREE/HREE differentiation (mean LaN/YbN = 10.83–12.66), and obvious negative Eu anomalies (mean Eu/Eu* = 0.61–0.79). Combined with characteristic ratios (La/Sc, Th/Sc, Cr/Th, and Th/Co) and the provenance discriminant diagrams (Al2O3-(CaO* + Na2O)-K2O and Ni-TiO2), these results indicate felsic source rocks. Combined with the findings of previous studies, the representative values (La, Ce, ΣREE, V, Rb/Sr, Eu/Eu*, La/Sc, Th/Sc, and Zr/Th) and tectonic setting discriminants (SiO2-K2O/Na2O, Fe2O3 + MgO-Al2O3/SiO2, La/Sc-Ti/Zr, and Th-Sc-Zr/10) indicate that the Zongwulong Group sediments were deposited in a back-arc extensional basin behind the active continental margin-continental island arc tectonic setting.

Weather Forecasting Using Ensemble of Spatial-Temporal Attention Network and Multi-Layer Perceptron

Yuanpeng Li,Junwei Lang,Lei Ji,Jiqin Zhong,Zaiwen Wang,Yang Guo,Sailing He 한국기상학회 2021 Asia-Pacific Journal of Atmospheric Sciences Vol.57 No.3

Weather forecasting is a challenging task, which is especially suited for artificial intelligence due to the large amount of data involved. This paper proposed an end-to-end hybrid regression model, called Ensemble of Spatial-Temporal Attention Network and Multi-Layer Perceptron (E-STAN-MLP), to forecast surface temperature, humidity, wind speed, and wind direction at 24 automatic weather stations in Beijing. Combining the data from historical observations with the data from the numerical weather prediction (NWP) system, our proposed model give better results than the NWP system or previously reported algorithms. Our E-STAN-MLP model consists of two parts. One is to use the spatial-temporal attention based recurrent neural network to model the time series of meteorological elements. The other is a simple but efficient multilayer perceptron architecture forecasts the regression value while ignoring time dependence. Results at each time stamp are integrated together using a step-wise fusion strategy. Moreover, we use a joint loss step integrating both the regression loss function and the classification loss function to simultaneously forecast the wind speed and direction. Experiments demonstrate that our proposed E-STAN-MLP model achieves state-of-the-art results in weather forecasting.

Yuanpeng Fu,Yaqun He,Hangchao Chen,Cuiling Ye,Qichang Lu,Rongnian Li,Weining Xie,Jie Wang 한국공업화학회 2019 Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Vol.79 No.-

The present work focuses on simultaneous recycling of Li and Co from crushed products of mixedelectrode materials using mixed organic acids, in which benzenesulfonic acid and formic acid werecooperatively used as the leaching reagents. Results show that the optimal leaching efficiency of 97% Coand 99% Li were obtained under the conditions of 1.3 mol/L benzenesulfonic acid, 1.5 mol/L formic acid, asolid to liquid (S/L) ratio of 30 g/L, and 40 min reaction time at 50 C. Meanwhile, the leaching of Li and Cofits well to logarithmic rate model with apparent activation energy of 32.7 and 47.0 kJ/mol in this givenleaching system, respectively. Besides, cobalt was directly recovered from the leach liquor as pure cobaltbenzene sulfonic with the recovery efficiency of 99%, and lithium can be entirely precipitated by addingphosphoric acid. Further, the reaction mechanism involves the leaching-hydrating-complexing model ofLiCoO2 particles was proposed based on the dissolution behavior of metals and then verified bymorphological and phase characterization (i.e. FT-IR, XRD and SEM-EDS) of the recycling product. Thewhole process is found to be effective and sustainable for recovery of Li, Co and graphite from mixedindustrial crushing product of spent LIBs.

A practical method for generating trigonometric polynomial surfaces over triangular domain

Xuli Han,Yuanpeng Zhu (사)한국CDE학회 2013 한국CAD/CAM학회 국제학술발표 논문집 Vol.2010 No.8

A class of trigonometric polynomial basis functions over triangular domain is constructed. Based on these new basis functions, a kind of trigonometric polynomial patch over triangular domain with three shape parameters, which can be used to construct some surfaces whose boundaries are arcs of ellipse or parabola, is proposed. Without changing the control points, the shape of the trigonometric polynomial patch can be adjusted conveniently by using the three shape parameters. A practical de Casteljau-type algorithm for computing the proposed trigonometric polynomial patch is developed. The conditions for G1 continuous joining two trigonometric polynomial patches over triangular domain are deduced.

DC-Link Voltage Balance Control in Three-phase Four-wire Active Power Filters

Yu Wang,Yuanpeng Guan,Yunxiang Xie,Xiang Liu 전력전자학회 2016 JOURNAL OF POWER ELECTRONICS Vol.16 No.5

The three-phase four-wire shunt active power filter (APF) is an effective method to solve the harmonic problem in three-phase four-wire power systems. In addition, it has two possible topologies, a four-leg inverter and a three-leg inverter with a split-capacitor. There are some studies investigating DC-link voltage control in three-phase four-wire APFs. However, when compared to the four-leg inverter topology, maintaining the balance between the DC-link upper and lower capacitor voltages becomes a unique problem in the three-leg inverter with a split-capacitor topology, and previous studies seldom pay attention to this fact. In this paper, the influence of the balance between the two DC-link voltages on the compensation performance, and the influence of the voltage balance controller on the compensation performance, are analyzed. To achieve the balance between the two DC-link capacitor voltages, and to avoid the adverse effect the voltage balance controller has on the APF compensation performance, a new DC-link voltage balance control strategy for the three-phase four-wire split-capacitor APF is proposed. Representative simulation and experimental results are presented to verify the analysis and the proposed DC-link voltage balance control strategy.

Effect of Different Inter-Stop Transport Distances of a Chinese Freight Train on Its Transport Efficiency

Xuesong Feng,Yuanpeng Jie,Haidong Liu,Xun Sun,Bin Xu 보안공학연구지원센터 2016 International Journal of Hybrid Information Techno Vol.9 No.6

Utilizing a computer-aided simulation approach, this work studies the impacts of different inter-stop transport distances on the transport efficiency evaluated by the transport time cost intensity of a typically composed Chinese freight train hauled by representative types of locomotives in view of different target speeds. It is found that the decelerated decrease of the transport time cost intensity with improving the target speed is much traded off by decreasing the stop-spacing especially below approximately 20.00 km. Moreover, the decrease of the inter-stop transport distance especially shorter than about 20.00 km obviously increases the transport time cost intensity in an accelerated way for the same target speed. Such a trend is more apparent when the target speed becomes relatively high. Therefore, it is suggested that the inter-stop transport distance of a freight train ought to be over 20.00 km for relatively high transport efficiency.

The Production of Bioflocculants by Bacillus licheniformis Using Molasses and Its Application in the Sugarcane Industry

Xiaoling Zhuang,Yuanpeng Wang,Qingbiao Li,Shan Yan,Ning He 한국생물공학회 2012 Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering Vol.17 No.5

A bioflocculant produced by B. licheniformis was investigated with regard to a low-cost culture medium and its industrial application. Molasses replaced sucrose as the sole carbon source in bioflocculant fermentation. The optimum low-cost culture medium was determined to be composed of 20 g/L molasses, 0.4 g/L urea, 0.4 g/L NaCl,0.2 g/L KH2PO4, 1.6 g/L K2HPO4, and 0.2 g/L MgSO4. The bioflocculant from B. licheniformis was then applied to treat sugarcane-neutralizing juice to remove colloids,suspended particles, and coloring matters in a sugar refinery factory. The optimal operation conditions were a bioflocculant dosage of 21 U/mL, pH 7.3 and a heating temperature of 100oC. The color and turbidity of the sugarcane juice reached IU 1267 and IU 206, respectively,after clarification with the bioflocculant; these values were almost the same as those acquired following treatment with polyacrylamide (PAM), the most widely applied flocculant in sugar industries. These results suggest the great potential for use of bioflocculants in the sugar refinery process.
