The Neoproterozoic Ediacaran Kaijiang-Xuanhan paleo-uplift in the Sichuan Basin, Western China by Ran Guo, Ran Guo, Zeqi Li, Jianxue Wu, Shugen Liu, Wei Sun, Peng Wang, Bin Deng, Liwei You, Zhiyi Liu

“…The Dengying Formation in the Kaijiang-Xuanhan region and the Mianyang-Anyue-Changning region both exhibit a thinning trend, but the genetic mechanisms are different. The thinning in the former is the result of sedimentary control during the early stages of paleouplift, with the lower parts of the first and second stages being absent; in the latter region, this is due to subsequent erosion. …”

Segment-based Volatile Organic Compound Emission Characteristics from Different Types of Coking Plants in China by Rumei Li, Yulong Yan, Lin Peng, Yinghui Li, Zhuocheng Liu, Zhanchun Fan, Huanfeng Li, Yang Xu, Cheng Wang, Dongmei Hu, Zhiyong Li

“…The stack flue gas at the non-recovery and mechanical coking plants exhibited VOC emission factors of 96 g Mg−1-coke and 0.4 g Mg−1-coke, respectively; thus, VOCs released by the former merit greater concern. Since the highest ozone formation potential (OFP) was observed for the stack flue gas at the non-recovery plant (80.26 mg m−3), followed by fugitive oven emissions at the mechanical plant (7.22 mg m−3), controlling these VOCs will significantly reduce their conversion into ozone. …”
