3. Sodium Salt Scaling in Black Liquor Evaporators
Abstract : Sodium salt scaling has long been recognized as a problem in the recovery cycle of kraft pulp mills, especially in black liquor evaporators. In the black liquor evaporation, as the black liquor becomes more concentrated, the sodium salts, particularly sodium carbonate and sodium sulfate, will saturate and precipitate from the solution.

5. Topological and Scaling Analysis of Geospatial Big Data
Abstract : Geographic information science and systems face challenges related to understanding the instinctive heterogeneity of geographic space, since conventional geospatial analysis is mainly founded on Euclidean geometry and Gaussian statistics. This thesis adopts a new paradigm, based on fractal geometry and Paretian statistics for geospatial analysis. READ MORE
