Batch sorption system using co-immobilized (activated carbon and Bacillus subtilis) beads as adsorbent was investigated to remove Cr(VI) from aqueous solution. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis showed the functional groups of both bacteria and activated carbon in co-immobilized beads. Experiments were carried out as a function of contact time (5–300 min), initial metal concentration (50–200 mg L?1), pH (2–8), and adsorbent dose (0.2–1 g L?1). The maximum percentage of removal was found to be 99 %. Langmuir model showed satisfactory fit to the equilibrium adsorption data of co-immobilized beads. The kinetics of the adsorption followed pseudo-second-order rate expression, which demonstrates that chemisorption plays a significant role in the adsorption mechanism. The significant shift in the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy peaks and a Cr peak in the scanning electron microscope–energy dispersive spectroscopy spectra further confirmed the adsorption. The results indicate that co-immobilized beads can be used as an effective adsorbent for the removal of Cr(VI) from the aqueous solution. 相似文献

The 560-km-long Kerala coast is characterised by long barriers with narrow beaches and steep cliffs. Distribution of cliffs
from nine sections measuring a cumulative length of 63.5 km is evaluated in ArcGIS Software using topomaps and field survey
data. The cliff sections in the southern coast comprise both permeable and impermeable rocks, whereas those along northern
coast are comprised of either Precambrian crystalline and/or Tertiary formations. Notches, caves and even small arches are
developed in Cannanore, Dharmadam and Kadalundi cliffs, where only primary laterites are exposed to wave attack. Stacks composed
of laterite and Precambrian crystallines found in nearshore of cliffed coast indicate recession of shoreline. Mass wasting,
mudslide and mudflow type of cliff failures are common in permeable to semi-permeable rocks, whereas rotational sliding, rockfall
and toppling failure are found in hard rock cliffs. Retreat of cliff sections are induced by natural or anthropogenic activities
or both. Rate of recession vary from a few centimetres to one metre/year depending upon the nature of lithology, structures
and recession agents acting upon the cliffs. Various methods of cliff protection for e.g. hard structures—revetments, groins,
seawalls, breakwater and jetties—and soft measures—artificial reefs/marsh creation, floating breakwaters, beach nourishment,
beach scraping and vegetation planting—are suggested. 相似文献

Geochemistry of Cu, Co, Ni, Zn, Cd and Cr in the surficial sediments of a tropical estuary, southwest coast of India: a granulometric approach 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Geochemical characteristics of six trace metals – Cu, Co, Ni, Zn, Cd and Cr – in the bulk sediment and sand, silt and clay
fractions of a tropical estuary on the southwest coast of India have been studied and discussed. In bulk sediment, the trace
metal concentration is controlled mainly by the textural composition of the sample. Mud, sandy mud and sandy silt register
higher concentrations of trace metals than that in sand-dominant sediments. The granulometric partitioning studies also re-affirmed
the role of particle size in enriching the trace metals. The silt and clay fractions exhibit 7–8 times the enrichment of Cu
and Cd compared to that in sand. The enrichment factors of Zn, Cr, Ni and Co in the silt and clay fractions, compared to that
in sand, are 5–6, 4–5, 2–5 and 2–3 times, respectively. The trace metals in the sand fraction, particularly Ni and Cr, exhibit
strong positive correlation with the heavy mineral content of the samples. It clearly indicates a heavy mineral pathway to
the trace metals in the sand fraction. Cu and Co in silt and clay fractions exhibit a marked decrease towards the high saline
zones of the estuary. This is attributed to the desorption of Cu and Co from particulate phases during estuarine mixing. Contrary
to Cu and Co, the content of Zn in the clay fraction shows a marginal increase towards the estuarine mouth. This could be
explained by the influx of Zn-rich contaminant discharges from Zn-smelting industries located slightly north of the estuarine
mouth. The released Zn will effectively be held in the lattices of the clay mineral montmorillonite, which also exhibits a
marked increase towards the estuarine mouth. The anomalously high values of Cd in some places of the Central Vembanad estuary
is attributed to the local pollution.

Geochemical characteristics of Fe and Mn in sand, silt, and clay fractions as well as in bulk sediments of the tropical perennial Muvattupuzha river and the Central Vembanad estuary of the southwest coast of India have been studied and discussed. The results of a physical fractionation study of Fe and Mn indicated a substantial increase in the content of these metals in silt and clay fractions above that in sand. The riverine silt and clay fractions account for two to three times the enrichment of Fe and Mn than the corresponding sand fraction; the estuarine counterparts indicate four to eight times the enrichment. The observed enrichment of Fe and Mn towards the more finer size grades is mainly due to the increased surface area of the finer clastics, which in turn increase the absorptive ability. However, the mineralogical diversities of the three size fractions also influence the enrichment of Fe and Mn. The spatial distribution of Fe and Mn indicates a marked decrease in the content of the latter than the former towards the high saline zones of the river and the estuary. This variation could be due to the higher solubility of Mn towards the high saline zones of the aquatic environment where reducing condition prevails most of the year. 相似文献

The coastal zone of the Sagar island has been studied. The island has been subjected to erosion by natural processes and to
a little extent by anthropogenic activities over a long period. Major landforms identified in the coastal area of the Sagar
island are the mud flats/salt marshes, sandy beaches/dunes and mangroves. The foreshore sediments are characterized by silty,
slightly sandy mud, slightly silty sand and silty sand. Samples 500 m inland from high waterline are silty slightly sandy
mud, and by clayey slightly sandy mud. The extent of coastline changes are made by comparing the topographic maps of 1967
and satellite imageries of 1996, 1998 and 1999. Between 1967 and 1999 about 29.8 km2 of the island has been eroded and the accreted area is only 6.03 km2. Between 1996 and 1998 the area underwent erosion of 13.64 km2 while accretion was 0.48 km2. From 1998 to 1999, 3.26 km2 additional area was eroded with meager accretion. Erosion from 1997 to 1999 was estimated at 0.74 km2 /year; however, from 1996 to 1999, the erosion rate was calculated as 5.47 km2/year. The areas severely affected by erosion are the northeastern, southwestern and southeastern faces of the island. As
a consequence of coastal erosion, the mud flats/salt marshes, sandy beaches/dunes and mangroves have been eroded considerably.
Deposition is experienced mainly on the western and southern part of the island. The island is built primarily by silt and
clay, which can more easily be eroded by the waves, tides and cyclonic activities than a sandy coast. Historic sea level rises
accompanied by land subsidence lead to differing rates of erosion at several pockets, thus periodically establishing new erosion
planes. 相似文献

Laccase from the white‐rot fungus Pleurotus florida, produced under solid‐state fermentation conditions, was used for the decolorization of reactive dye Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR). RBBR was decolorized up to 46% by P. florida laccase alone in 10 min. In the presence of N‐hydroxybenzotriazole (HBT), the rate of decolorization was enhanced 1.56‐fold. Central composite design of response surface methodology with four variables namely, dye, enzyme, redox mediator concentrations, and time at five levels was applied to optimize the RBBR decolorization. The predicted optimum level of variables for maximum RBBR decolorization (87%) was found to be 52.90 mg L?1 (RBBR), 1.87 U mL?1 (laccase), 0.85 mM (HBT), and 7.17 min (time), respectively. The validation results showed that the experimental value of RBBR decolorization (82%) was close to the predicted one. The disappearance of C–N and C–X groups, and a small shift in N–H groups in Fourier‐transform infra red (FTIR) spectroscopy confirms the degradation of RBBR chromophore by laccase enzyme. The phytotoxicity of RBBR was considerably reduced after the treatment with laccase. RBBR decolorization kinetics; Km and Vmax were calculated to be 145.82 mg L?1 and 24.86 mg L?1 min, respectively. 相似文献

Identification of groundwater prospective zones using irs-id liss iii and pump test methods 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The role of hydrogeomorphological units and lineaments in the storage of groundwater from the Muvattupuzha river basin has
been investigated using IRS ID LISS III data. Other than the usual water bodies such as river course, reservoirs and ponds,
the major hydrogeomorphological units identified in this basin in the descending order of their groundwater potential are:
valley fills, moderately dissected plateau, pediments, residual mounts, residual mount complex, linear ridges, residual hills
and structural hills. Majority of the lineaments trends in NW-SE and WNW-ESE directions. Even though the eastern part of the
basin is characterised by moderate to high lineament density, the above area is found to be poor to moderate groundwater prospect
zone because of high gradient and structural hills. The pump test analyses of dug wells from different hydrogeomorphic units
also confirm that valley fills are the most promising unit for groundwater prospecting than the rest. 相似文献

Interstitial water and hydrochemistry of a mangrove forest and adjoining water system, south west coast of India 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Eh, pH, salinity, total alkalinity, dissolved O2, NO2
–, PO4
–3, SiO2 and NH4
+ of waters from a mangrove forest, an estuary and a creek connecting the mangrove forest and the estuary have been measured.
Further, the chemistry of interstitial waters of surficial and core sediments from the mangrove forest have been analyzed
for the above parameters, except dissolved oxygen. To understand the flux of nutrients from the mangrove forest to the adjoining
estuary, creek waters were monitored during tidal phases. PO4
–3, SiO2 and NH4
+ were found to be at elevated levels in mangrove waters whereas NO2
– shows no variation compared to the estuary. Dissolved O2 is low in mangrove waters. PO4
–3, NH4
+ and SiO2 are several times higher in interstitial waters than in overlying waters. Several fold enrichment of PO4
–3, NH4
+ and, to some extent, SiO2 were measured in creek waters during ebbing relative to flooding, indicating that mangroves act as a perennial source for
the above nutrients.
