RESUMEN
The engineering of multifunctional structures with special surface wettability is highly desirable for all-weather freshwater production, but relevant research is scarce. In this study, a Janus conical vertical array was designed and fabricated via a magnetically driven spray-coating method for the first time. Benefiting from the special structure and wettability enhancement of the array in terms of solar absorption, fog capture and merging, droplet movement and evaporation area, all-weather freshwater production consisting of high-quality daytime solar vapor generation (water evaporation rate approximately 2.43 kg m-2 h-1, 1 kW m-2) and nighttime fog collection (water collection rate approximately 3.536 g cm-2 h-1) can be realized concurrently. When the designed array is employed for outdoor environments (114°35'E, 30°38'N, average daily temperature 34.9 °C, average daily humidity 64.0%), reliable and efficient daily pure water yields of 19.13 kg m-2-26.09 kg m-2 are obtainable. We believe that the proposed strategy for fabricating a Janus conical vertical array is novel in the integration of solar vapor generation and fog collection, which has great significance for all-weather freshwater production.
RESUMEN
Overlying river can accelerate the creep of the inner dump, so to master the creep characteristics of the overlying river can provide a theoretical basis for mine safety and discharge optimization. Taking the overlying river inner dump of Yuanbaoshan open-pit coal Mine in China as the research object, a design scheme is proposed to divide it into rolling zone and non-rolling zone. Based on the creep model obtained by in-situ deformation monitoring and laboratory rheological test, the creep evolution law and deformation of overlying channel after soil discharge, slope morphology and advancing position are simulated and analyzed. The results showed that the creep variable in the (non-) rolling zone had a nonlinear upward trend with time, and the initial upward trend was large. The maximum vertical and horizontal creep in the rolling area was located in the middle and upper part of the rolling line, while the maximum vertical and horizontal creep in the dump was located in the middle and upper part of the non-rolling area, respectively. The post-construction settlement and horizontal discharging increased with the increase of the discharge height, and the convergence creep of the top ten years after construction increased approximately linearly with the decrease of the distance from the shoulder of the inner dump. The rolled sand and gravel backfill belonged to the foundation of uniform settlement deformation in general, and the change of slope shape had little effect on the deformation of the slope top in the rolled area. The geoglage elongation in the dam area met the requirements. On the premise of ensuring the stability of the dump, the slope angle of the inner dump can be appropriately increased to increase the capacity of the inner dump. The research results can provide guidance for the construction of inner dump in open pit.
