Cultivation of Innovation Ability of Students in the Discipline of Food Science and Engineering from the Perspective of Engineering Professional Certification

Cultivating the top-notch innovative talents is an essential task for connotative construction of higher education.As an applicationoriented discipline,the Discipline of Food Science and Engineering attaches great importance to the cultivation of innovation ability of college students.For a long time,however,the discipline education has problems of the inverted teaching subject position,weak coordination ability and single practice mode.The support for the cultivation of innovation ability is weak and ineffective.Therefore,in the context of professional certification of engineering education,it is necessary to make reform of traditional education mode and improve the carrier support and target acquisition taking the Outcomes-based Education(OBE)as guide,the innovation ability cultivation as objective,to provide effective guarantee for cultivation of the top-notch talents.These have become issues that should not be ignored in the development of the Discipline of Food Science and Engineering.

Analysis on the Talent Training Mode of Management Science and Engineering from the Perspective of Multidisciplinary Integration

In today’s era,multidisciplinary integration is the development trend of education,which breaks the field of a single discipline and lays the foundation for the development of education.Objectively speaking,with the integration of disciplines,a new interdisciplinary is formed.This new discipline is comprehensive and systematic;in addition,it integrates knowledge,technology,and methods.It is the result of the collision of different disciplines.As an applied course,Management Science and Engineering integrates multidisciplinary knowledge,such as science and technology,information science,and mathematics.Its main purpose is to solve various problems in social and economic development.It has a long-term impact on the development of contemporary multidisciplinary education.In the new era,in order to meet the requirements of social and economic development,the teaching of Management Science and Engineering should be based on the perspective of multidisciplinary integration,combined with the current characteristics and training mode of the discipline,explore new talent training paths,and then drive the development of the whole industry.

Scientific and Engineering Progress in CO_2 Minerali zation Using Industrial Waste and Natural Minerals

The issues of reducing CO_2 levels in the atmo-sphere, sustainably utilizing natural mineral resources,and dealing with indus trial waste offer challenging opportunities for sustainable development in energy and the environment. The latest advances in CO_2 mineralization technology involving natural minerals and industrial waste are summarized in this paper, with great emphasis on the advancement of fundamental science, economic evaluation, and engineering applications. We discuss several lead-ing large-scale CO_2 mineralization methodologies from a techn ical and engineering-science perspective. For each technology option, we give an overview of the technical parameters, reaction pathway, reactivity, procedural scheme, and laboratorial and pilot devices. Furthermore, we present a discussion of each technology based on experimental results and the literature. Finally, current gaps in knowledge are identified in the conclusion, and an overview of the challenges and opportunities for future research in this field is provided.

Research on Distribution Regularities of Dust Concentration and Granularity in Large Mining Height Working Face

The key for dust control of coal mine is to clarify the dust concentration distribution and sedimentation in different areas. Both similarity experiment and numerical simulation method have certain restrictions and are quite different from the actual situation on site. In order to study the dust sedimentation regularity of coal mine in large mining height, “filter membrane method” is adopted in this paper, i.e., to dry and weigh the filter membrane before and after sampling, collect the dust of respirable zone on mining face and calculate the dust concentration based on a main airway of 100 m. The result shows that: A large amount of dust will be produced during coal mining, wherein the maximum dust concentration from 6 m upstream to 100 m downstream of coal cutter is 121 mg/m3, while the minimum dust concentration is 61 mg/m3;The dust concentration in return airway is reduced with the distance increases, while the dust concentration at the entrance is 91 mg/m3;A large amount of dust may fall from roof during section advancing and improves the dust concentration of hydraulic support in walking area obviously;The dust granularity of mining face and return airway is 0 - 100 μm, but the amount of respirable dust is higher than 80%, the larger the dust particle size, the higher the dust concentration. Besides, dust in small particle size can be suspended in air flow for longer, but that in large particle size may subside under the action of gravity;To reduce dust exposure, the mining position shall be located in the windward direction of advancing or coal cutter. This research can provide guidance for taking dust prevention measures of working face in large mining height.
