The steady state simulation results in Aspen Plus were exported to Aspen Dynamics. Then control effect of liquid level control with HighSelector, composition control(structure1, structure2) and temperature control(proportional action, proportional integration action) were proposed. Composition control structure 2 and temperature control with PI action were investigated to achieve a good control effect.展开更多

Methods: Dean’s method was used to investigate the fluorosis for the local children whose ages ranged from 8 to 12 years old, the use of improved stoves in residential households, the drying of corn and pepper for human consumption, and the results were evaluated and discussed according to the national standard for the control and elimination of coal-burning fluorosis. Results: The prevalence rate of dental fluorosis borne-disease in children whose ages ranged from 8 to 12 years old was about 11.28% in 661 historically diseased villages in 100 townships and in 13 districts and counties of Chongqing city. The correct utilization rates of improved stoves, qualified improved stoves, and qualified stoves were 100%, 98.82%, and 99.45%, respectively. The correct drying rates of corn and pepper for human consumption were 99.88% and 99.75% respectively. There are 24 uncontrolled villages, 225 controlled villages, and 412 villages in eliminated disease zones in administrative villages. There are 4 villages and counties in uncontrolled, 4 in controlled, and 5 eliminated areas in districts and counties. Conclusion: Fluorosis borne-disease caused by coal-burning in Chongqing has reached the control and elimination targets of the twelfth Five-year plan.展开更多

Due to the complex operation process and frequent fluctuations of variables, conventional monitoring methods often bring false alarms. To address the above problem, an ensemble of greedy dynamic principal component analysis-Gaussian mixture model(EGDPCA-GMM) is proposed in this paper. First, PCA-GMM is introduced to deal with the collinearity and the non-Gaussian distribution of blast furnace data.Second, in order to explain the dynamics of data, the greedy algorithm is used to determine the extended variables and their corresponding time lags, so as to avoid introducing unnecessary noise. Then the bagging ensemble is adopted to cooperate with greedy extension to eliminate the randomness brought by the greedy algorithm and further reduce the false alarm rate(FAR) of monitoring results. Finally, the algorithm is applied to the blast furnace of a large iron and steel group in South China to verify performance.Compared with the basic algorithms, the proposed method achieves lowest FAR, while keeping missed alarm rate(MAR) remain stable.展开更多

The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and Fourier transform infrared spectrograph （FT-IR）. The interrelated effect mechanism is presented in the end. Results show that the modifier carboxyl groups play a significant role in controlling the SrCO3 crystal morphologies, which can alter the crystal growth unit （Sr^2＋） supply mode and induce the crystal formation with the morphologies matching their spatial configurations.展开更多

On the base of the basic grinding models, the objective function and constrained functions for the multiparameter optimum grinding models had been built in this paper. By the computer simulation, the nonlinear optimum grinding control parameters had been obtained, and the truth grinding process had been controlled by these parameters. The results of simulation and the experiments proved the exactitude of the optimum models and the feasibility of the optimum strategy. This paper had also created the precondition for the grinding automation, virtual grinding and intelligent grinding system for cylindrical grinding process.展开更多

[Methods] The quality evaluation method was established and validated with echinacoside as internal reference to determine the contents of other components(ferulic acid, salvianolic acid B, and icariin) according to the relative correction factor. The accuracy and feasibility of QAMS were evaluated by comparison on the results between the measured value and calculation value by external standard method and QAMS. [Results] A common pattern of characteristic fingerprint of Zhenrongdan mixture by HPLC was established. Thirteen common peaks were identified, and they account for 91% of the total peak area, and four components were verified in five batches of Zhenrongdan mixture. Good similarities with correlation coefficients higher than 0.99 were found in the fingerprints. There was no significant difference between the quantitative results of the four ingredients in the five batches by external standard method and QAMS. [Conclusions] The method of fingerprint combined with QAMS could be used for the quality control of multiple components determination and fingerprint chromatography for Zhenrongdan mixture.展开更多
