34333 results about "Environmental geology" patented technology

Including geology, geography and environmental science. Geology is an Earth science concerned with the solid Earth, the rocks of which it is composed, and the processes by which they change over time. Geology can also include the study of the solid features of any terrestrial planet or natural satellite such as Mars or the Moon. Modern geology significantly overlaps all other Earth sciences, including hydrology and the atmospheric sciences, and so is treated as one major aspect of integrated Earth system science and planetary science. Geography is a field of science devoted to the study of the lands, features, inhabitants, and phenomena of the Earth and planets. Geography is an all-encompassing discipline that seeks an understanding of Earth and its human and natural complexities—not merely where objects are, but also how they have changed and come to be. Environmental science is an interdisciplinary academic field that integrates physical, biological and information sciences (including ecology, biology, physics, chemistry, plant science, zoology, mineralogy, oceanography, limnology, soil science, geology and physical geography, and atmospheric science) to the study of the environment, and the solution of environmental problems. Today it provides an integrated, quantitative, and interdisciplinary approach to the study of environmental systems.

A cleaning-liquid supply integrated device and an on-line cleaning method for polyurethane polishing pads

PendingCN122077516AImprove cleanlinessSolve the industry problem of "deep residue"Lapping machinesGrinding feed controlWater flowProcess engineering
An integrated cleaning and liquid supply device and online cleaning method for polyurethane polishing pads are disclosed. The device includes a base, a rotating seat, a swing arm, an independent liquid supply pipeline system and cleaning pipeline, a high-pressure nozzle array, and a positioning sensor assembly. During the polishing stage, polishing liquid is dripped through the liquid supply outlet. During the cleaning stage, the swing arm moves centripetally to a preset position aligned with the center of the polishing pad. The positioning sensor triggers a high-pressure pump, causing pure water to be sprayed as an atomized jet along the diameter of the pad surface through the high-pressure nozzle array. Simultaneously, the polishing pad rotates at a low speed, utilizing the synergistic effect of centrifugal force and high-pressure water flow to thoroughly remove residual contaminants within the micropores of the polyurethane. This invention integrates liquid supply and deep cleaning functions into the same motion mechanism, eliminating the need for machine shutdown or manual intervention. It offers advantages such as non-contact, non-destructive, thorough cleaning, and high automation, extending the life of the polishing pad and improving the stability of the CMP process.

Integrated Flue Gas Desulfurization, Denitrification, and Decarbonization Method Based on a Centrifugal Reactor

This invention relates to the field of flue gas treatment technology. It discloses an integrated flue gas desulfurization, denitrification, and decarbonization method based on a hypergravity reactor. S1: Flue gas is pressurized by a booster fan and then enters a concentration and cooling tower for heat exchange and cooling. S31: If the flue gas detection device fails to meet the requirements, the flue gas enters the secondary thin-plate hypergravity treatment device connected in series via a series return gas branch for secondary treatment. S32: If the flue gas detection device meets the requirements, the flue gas enters the main flue gas emission path via the series return gas branch and the flue gas emission branch. The main flue gas emission path transmits the flue gas to the hypergravity decarbonization reactor. The secondary thin-plate hypergravity treatment device is ultra-thin and divided into multiple vertically distributed sections, ensuring that the grading is performed in the same or nearly identical space, reducing the height of the secondary thin-plate hypergravity treatment device and minimizing energy consumption during initial operation.
