Release of elements from municipal solid waste incineration fly ash

The element-release behavior of municipal solid waste incineration fly ash was explored through leaching test with continuous set-point pH (pH_stat test) and serial single reaction cell (SSRC) tests. First, the relationship between element release and acid neutralizing capacity (ANC) consumption was examined with a pH_stat test. Four types of release behaviors were identified which are characteristic for different elements: (1) release curves that were almost linear with ANC consumption (Ca, Zn, and Cd); (2) release that was significantly faster than ANC (Na, K, and Cl); (3) curves that featured a strong increase with ANC consumption, after a transient release, followed by an almost equal decrease (Si and S); and (4) release that is strongly retarded compared with ANC consumption (Cr, Cu, and Pb). In the SSRC system, it the existence of a pH front and a wash-out phenomenon is demonstrated. Combining the results from the SSRC test with the kinetic analysis of the ANC system in the pH_stat test, it was inferred that less than one-third of the ANC measured from a batch pH titration plays a neutralization role in a field situation. The methodologies described may provide a powerful set of tools for systematic evaluation of element release from solid wastes.

Vocal competition in male Xenopus laevis frogs

Male Xenopus laevis frogs produce underwater advertisement calls that attract gravid females and suppress calling by male competitors. Here we explore whether groups of males establish vocal ranks and whether auditory cues alone suffice for vocal suppression. Tests of male–male pairs within assigned groups reveal linear vocal dominance relations, in which each male has a defined rank. Both the duration over which males interact, as well as the number of competitive opportunities, affect linearity. Linear dominance across the group is stable for about 2 weeks; rank is dynamic. Males engage in physical interactions (clasping) while paired but clasping and vocal rank are not correlated. Playbacks of advertisement calls suppress calling and calls from high- and low-ranking males are equally effective. Thus, auditory cues alone suffice to suppress vocal behavior. Playback intensities equivalent to a nearby male advertising effectively suppress calling while low-intensity playbacks are either ineffective or stimulate vocal behavior. X. laevis advertisement calls are biphasic, composed of alternating fast and slow click trills. Approximately half the males tested are more vocally suppressed by all slow than by all fast trills; thus, these males can distinguish between the two phases. The fully aquatic family Pipidae diverged from terrestrial ancestors approximately 170 mya. Vocal suppression in the X. laevis mating system may represent the translation of an ancient anuran social strategy to underwater life.

Prediction of high-density polyethylene pyrolysis using kinetic parameters based on thermogravimetric and artificial neural networks

● Reducting the sampling frequency can enhance the modelling process. ● The pyrolysis of HDPE was investigated at three different heating rates. ● The average E_a and k₀ were calculated by Friedman, KAS, FWO, and CR methods. ● ANN was employed to predict the HDPE weight loss with the optimal MSE and R². Pyrolysis is considered an attractive option and a promising way to dispose waste plastics. The thermogravimetric experiments of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) were conducted from 105 °C to 900 °C at different heating rates (10 °C/min, 20 °C/min, and 30 °C/min) to investigate their thermal pyrolysis behavior. We investigated four methods including three model-free methods and one model-fitting method to estimate dynamic parameters. Additionally, an artificial neural network model was developed by providing the heating rates and temperatures to predict the weight loss (wt.%) of HDPE, and optimized via assessing mean squared error and determination coefficient on the test set. The optimal MSE (2.6297 × 10⁻²) and R² value (R² > 0.999) were obtained. Activation energy and pre-exponential factor obtained from four different models achieves the acceptable value between experimental and predicted results. The relative error of the model increased from 2.4 % to 6.8 % when the sampling frequency changed from 50 s to 60 s, but showed no significant difference when the sampling frequency was below 50 s. This result provides a promising approach to simplify the further modelling work and to reduce the required data storage space. This study revealed the possibility of simulating the HDPE pyrolysis process via machine learning with no significant accuracy loss of the kinetic parameters. It is hoped that this work could potentially benefit to the development of pyrolysis process modelling of HDPE and the other plastics.
