Rare earth resource recycling is an important endeavor for environmental protection and resource utilization. This study explores the method of preparing regenerated magnets using waste magnets as raw materials based on existing processes. By utilizing existing Nd-Fe-B production equipment, various waste magnets are transformed into recycled powder. Next, nascent Nd-Fe-B powders with slightly higher rare earth content are selected as the repairing agent. The regenerated magnets are prepared by incorporating the nascent powder into the recycled powder. The focus lies in investigating the repairing effect of the nascent powder repairing agent on the microstructure of regenerated magnets and exploring the influence of sintering temperature and powder addition on the magnetic properties and microstructure of the regenerated magnets. The results showed that the nascent powder increased the proportion of grain boundary phases and effectively repaired the grain boundary structure of the regenerated magnets. In addition, the Pr element in the nascent powder replaces the Ce element in the recycled powder, which ultimately improves the magnetic properties of the regenerated magnet in a comprehensive manner. This study provides valuable insights and guidance for rare earth resource recycling and the preparation of regenerated magnets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Atmospheric turbulence parameters, such as turbulent kinetic energy and dissipation rate, are of great significance in weather prediction, meteorological disasters, and forecasting. Due to the lack of ideal direct detection methods, traditional structure function methods are mainly based on Kolmogorov's assumption of local isotropic turbulence and the well-known -5/3 power law within the inertial subrange, which limits their application. Here, we propose a method for directly measuring atmospheric turbulence parameters using coherent Doppler wind lidar, which can directly obtain atmospheric turbulence parameters and vertical structural features, breaking the limitations of traditional methods. The first published spatiotemporal distribution map of the power-law exponent of the inertial subrange is provided in this study, which indicates the heterogeneity of atmospheric turbulence at different altitudes and also indicates that the power-law exponent at high altitudes does not fully comply with the -5/3 power law, proving the superiority of our method. We analyze the results under different weather conditions, indicating that the method still holds. The turbulent kinetic energy and power-law index obtained by this method are continuously compared with the results obtained with an ultrasonic anemometer for a month-long period. The results of the two have high consistency and correlation, verifying the accuracy and applicability of the proposed method. The proposed method has great significance in studying the vertical structural characteristics of atmospheric turbulence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The height of the stable boundary layer is a key parameter in atmospheric transmission and diffusion, air quality, emergency response, wind energy, and numerical weather prediction models. Existing methods mainly determine the stable boundary layer height via a threshold or minimum value of the wind speed variance under a low-level jet. Based on multi-meteorological element data from a meteorological gradient observation tower, this paper revealed the limitations of existing methods from the perspective of dynamic and thermal effects. In this paper, it is demonstrated that there were four types of shapes of the wind speed variance profile under the low-level jet and a method for using the shape of the variance profile to retrieve the height of the stable boundary layer was proposed. This method distinguished different types of wind speed variance profiles and solved the problems of the misjudgment and omissions (about 34%) present in existing methods. Our experiment showed that the average absolute error of the proposed method was less than 18 m and the average relative error was less than 9%. The results showed that the proposed inversion method was extended to all kinds of wind field detection equipment for inversion of the stable boundary layer height and has very high universality.

The range of detection and accuracy of currently available Raman temperature LiDAR systems are primarily improved by increasing the energy or the aperture of the receiving telescope. However, this does not lead to a corresponding linear increase in the distance of detection and accuracy of the system. In this paper, the authors construct a simulation model and optimize its parameters to develop a Raman temperature LiDAR with low energy and a small aperture that has a maximum distance of detection of over 5 km during the day and over 10 km at night. The profile of the atmospheric temperature obtained through field tests was in good agreement with the results of a radiosonde. The maximum correlation between the Raman temperature LiDAR and the radiosonde was 0.94 at night and 0.81 during the day. The results showed that the proposed Raman temperature LiDAR, with low energy and a small aperture, can provide reliable data on the temperature in the troposphere throughout the day.
