Wuhai is a typical coking industrial base including three industrial parks within its jurisdiction. The emission amount of air pollutants is considerable here, and O pollution has become serious in recent years. Clarifying the air pollutant emission characteristics and exploring the formation mechanism of O are the basis for objectively understanding the O pollution and formulating scientific prevention and control measures.

In complex crystals close to melting or at finite temperatures, different types of defects are ubiquitous and their role becomes relevant in the mechanical response of these solids. Conventional elasticity theory fails to provide a microscopic basis to include and account for the motion of point defects in an otherwise ordered crystalline structure. We study the elastic properties of a point-defect rich crystal within a first principles theoretical framework derived from the microscopic equations of motion.

Using density functionals from fundamental measure theory, phase diagrams and crystal-fluid surface tensions in additive and nonadditive (Asakura-Oosawa model) two-dimensional binary hard-disk mixtures are determined for the whole range of size ratios q=smalldiameter/largediameter, assuming random disorder (lattice points or interstitial occupied by large or small disks at random) in the crystal phase. The fluid-crystal transitions are first order due to the assumption of a periodic unit cell in the density-functional calculations. Qualitatively, the shape of the phase diagrams is similar to the case of three-dimensional hard-sphere mixtures.
