Thorium(IV) removal from aqueous medium by citric acid treated mangrove endophytic fungus Fusarium sp. #ZZF51

Thorium(IV) biosorption is investigated by citric acid treated mangrove endophytic fungus Fussarium sp. #ZZF51 (CA-ZZF51) from South China Sea. The biosorption process was optimized at pH 4.5, equilibrium time 90 min, initial thorium(IV) concentration 50 mg L⁻¹ and adsorbent dose 0.6 g L⁻¹ with 90.87% of removal efficiency and 75.47 mg g⁻¹ of adsorption capacity, which is obviously greater than that (11.35 mg g⁻¹) of the untreated fungus Fussarium sp. #ZZF51 for thorium(IV) biosorption under the condition of optimization. The experimental data are analyzed by using isotherm and kinetic models. Kinetic data follow the pseudo-second-order model and equilibrium data agree very well with the Langmuir model. In addition, FTIR analysis indicates that hydroxyl, amino, and carbonyl groups act as the important roles in the adsorption process.     

Statistical Assessment of Photospheric Magnetic Features in Imminent Solar Flare Predictions

In this study we use the ordinal logistic regression method to establish a prediction model, which estimates the probability for each solar active region to produce X-, M-, or C-class flares during the next 1-day time period. The three predictive parameters are (1) the total unsigned magnetic flux T _flux, which is a measure of an active region’s size, (2) the length of the strong-gradient neutral line L _gnl, which describes the global nonpotentiality of an active region, and (3) the total magnetic dissipation E _diss, which is another proxy of an active region’s nonpotentiality. These parameters are all derived from SOHO MDI magnetograms. The ordinal response variable is the different level of solar flare magnitude. By analyzing 174 active regions, L _gnl is proven to be the most powerful predictor, if only one predictor is chosen. Compared with the current prediction methods used by the Solar Monitor at the Solar Data Analysis Center (SDAC) and NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC), the ordinal logistic model using L _gnl, T _flux, and E _diss as predictors demonstrated its automatic functionality, simplicity, and fairly high prediction accuracy. To our knowledge, this is the first time the ordinal logistic regression model has been used in solar physics to predict solar flares.     

南极威德尔海西北区域的冰-气拖曳系数和脊帆形拖曳力分析

基于机载激光高度计测得的南极威德尔海西北区域冬季海冰表面起伏数据,结合脊帆形态参数和空间分布对中性条件(大气层处于中性平衡态)下对应10m高度处风速的冰-气拖曳系数Cdn(10)和脊帆形拖曳力Fd的参数化方案进行了改进,并探讨了冰-气拖曳系数Cdn(10)和脊帆形拖曳力对总拖曳力的贡献随脊帆强度(脊帆高度与间距的比值,其中脊帆高度是指脊帆顶点到平整冰面的垂直距离,脊帆间距是指相邻两个脊帆顶点之间的距离)和冰面粗糙长度的变化情况。结果表明,冰-气拖曳系数Cdn(10)随脊帆强度增大呈递增趋势,对较小的脊帆强度,Cdn(10)随粗糙长度的增大而增大,但脊帆强度较大时,Cdn(10)随粗糙长度减小而增大,即存在某一脊帆强度阈值,使Cdn(10)在该阈值两侧随粗糙长度的变化趋势相反;脊帆形拖曳力对总拖曳力的贡献随脊帆强度减小而减小,随着粗糙长度增大而减小。通过分析发现,造成以上不同变化趋势的主要原因是:随着脊帆强度的增大,摩拖曳力在总拖曳力中的优势地位逐渐由形拖曳力代替。

Studies on the solid acidity of heated and cation-exchanged montmorillonite using n-butylamine titration in non-aqueous system and diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared (DRIFT) spectroscopy

The effects of heating and cation exchange on the solid acidity of montmorillonite were investigated using n-butylamine titration in non-aqueous system and diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The number of total, Brønsted, and Lewis acid sites showed the same modulation tendency with increasing heating temperature, reaching a maximum at 120 °C and subsequently decreasing until it reaches a minimum at 600 °C. The Lewis acid sites result from unsaturated Al³⁺ cations, and their number increased with the heating temperature due to the dehydration and dehydroxylation of montmorillonite. The generation and evolution of Brønsted acidity were mainly related to interlayer-polarized water molecules. Water adsorbed on the unsaturated Al³⁺ ions also acted as a Brønsted acid. The acid strength of the Brønsted acid sites was dependent on the polarization ability of the exchangeable cation, the amount of interlayer water, and the degree of dissociation of the interlayer water coordinated to exchangeable cations. All cation-exchanged montmorillonites exhibited different numbers of acid sites and various distributions of acid strength. Brønsted acidity was predominant in Al³⁺-exchanged montmorillonite, whereas the Na⁺- and K⁺-exchanged montmorillonites showed predominantly Lewis acidity. Moreover, Mg²⁺- and Li⁺-exchanged montmorillonites exhibited approximately equal numbers of Brønsted and Lewis acid sites. The Brønsted acidity of cation-exchanged montmorillonite was positively correlated with the charge-to-radius ratios of the cations, whereas the Lewis acidity was highly dependent on the electronegativity of the cations. The acid strengths of Al³⁺- and Mg²⁺-exchanged montmorillonites were remarkably higher than those of monovalent cation-exchanged montmorillonites, showing the highest acid strength (H ₀ ≤ ?3.0). Li⁺- and Na⁺-exchanged montmorillonites exhibited an acid strength distribution of ?3.0 < H ₀ ≤ 4.8, with the acid strength ranging primarily from 1.5 to 3.3 in Li⁺-exchanged montmorillonite, whereas only weaker-strength acid sites (1.5 < H ₀ ≤ 4.8) were present in K⁺-exchanged montmorillonite. The results of the catalysis experiments indicated that montmorillonite promoted the thermal decomposition of the model organic. The catalytic activity showed a positive correlation with the solid acidity of montmorillonite and was affected by cation exchange, which occurs naturally in geological processes.

Dynamic Compaction of Ultra-High Energy in Combination with Ground Replacement in Coastal Reclamation Areas

This paper presents a case study of dynamic compaction (DC) on backfill ground for planned oil tanks located at Nanjing Bay. The ultra-high energy DC level of 18,000 kN · m was applied in the area tamping phase of the dynamic compaction. In combination with ground replacement technique by forcing crushed stones into the underlain cohesive layer, the high-compressibility of this layer was properly tackled. The construction techniques and ground improvement mechanisms are introduced and discussed. Field evaluations before and after the dynamic compaction, including surface wave test, plate load test, and soil sampling, showed that the ultra-high energy dynamic compaction in combination with ground replacement achieved much greater improvement depth and ground bearing capacity than conventional DC. Results show that dynamic compaction of 18,000 kN · m combined with ground replacement is of great merit in dealing with backfill ground with weak cohesive content in harbor development.
