Abstract

The internal circulating fluidized bed (ICFB) system is characterized with fast combustion, low emission, uniformity of bed temperature and controllability of combustion process. It is a kind of novel clean combustion system, especially for the low-grade fuels, such as municipal solid waste (MSW). The experimental systems of ICFB with and without combustion were designed and set up in this paper. A series of experiments were carried out for further understanding combustion process and characteristics of several design parameters for MSW. Based on the results, a design routine for the ICFB system was suggested for the calculation of energy balance, airflow rate, heat transfer rate, and geometry arrangement. A test system with ICFB combustor has been set up and the test results show that the design of the ICFB system is successful.

An integrated multiscale air quality modelling framework for industrial park pollution: Linking local emissions to regional transport.

Capturing the spatiotemporal distribution of pollutants in industrial parks remains challenging for regional air quality models because of their coarse resolution (3 km), resulting in uncertainties in local emission quantification. To address this, we developed the Integrated Multiscale Air Quality Modelling System for Industry (IAQMS-Industry), coupling the regional Nested Air Quality Prediction Modelling System (NAQPMS) with a city-scale chemical transport model. This framework integrates point-source locations and Gaussian plume dispersion to simulate particulate matter with a diameter smaller than 2.5 micrometres (PM2.5) at 100 m resolution. Applied to the Beijing Yi Zhuang and Tangshan industrial parks and evaluated against observations. The coupled model achieved a normalized mean bias (NMB) ranging from 3.1 % to 6.2 %, improving upon NAQPMS (-16.9 % to -7.7 %). Spatial analysis revealed that coarse regional grids underestimated the PM2.5​ concentrations at industrial sites by smoothing gradients, whereas IAQMS-Industry successfully resolved spatial patterns. Industrial point emissions accounted for 22.9 %-26.4 % of PM2.5 in the coupled model, which was significantly greater than the regional model estimates of 1.6 %-13.7 %. These findings indicate that regional models overestimate pollutant dispersion processes in industrial parks while underestimating local industrial impacts. By explicitly resolving point-source dynamics and linking them to regional transport, IAQMS-Industry provides a robust tool for designing targeted emission controls in industrial cities and balancing local air quality improvements with minimized regional pollution outflow. This study underscores the necessity of multiscale modelling for accurate source apportionment and informed environmental governance in industrial zones.

Choice of stratification in Poisson process analysis of recurrent event data with environmental covariates.

The Poisson process approach for studying the association between environmental covariates and recurrent events depends on the stratification of study period into intervals within which the baseline intensities are assumed constant. In this work we investigate the problem of bias and variance due to misspecification of this stratification. We suggest a cross-validation approach to choosing a stratification model to balance the trade-off between bias and variance. We also establish a connection between the Poisson process approach and case cross-over studies.
