The influences of suspended particles (SPs) on NH4+ adsorption and nitritation occurring in the water system of the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) were evaluated in this study.
The results indicated that the adsorption of NH4+ was significantly affected by the SPs concentration under the conditions typically present in the TGR. The amount of ammonia
adsorbed per unit weight of suspended particles was inverse proportional to the concentration of suspended particles. However,
the influences of the particle size and the organic matter concentration existing in SPs were insignificant under the experimental
conditions. The effects of suspended particles on nitritation were determined by the use of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB)
strain SW16, identified as Nitrosomonas nitrosa, which was isolated from sediment samples of the TGR. Suspended particle concentration in water–sediment solution played
an important role in the nitritation process. The rate of nitritation enhanced with the increase of the suspended particle
concentration. It was found that the critical factor controlling ammonia oxidizing rate was the AOB biomass resulting from
the AOB growth rate. Moreover, results demonstrated that both particle size and organic matter content showed little effect
on the nitritation process under the experimental conditions. 相似文献
This paper is a meta-analysis of recent domestic and foreign research on freezing-thawing effects on concrete durability. The main theories on the mechanisms of freeze-thaw damage to concrete are introduced: the hydrostatic pressure theory, the osmotic pressure theory, the critical water saturation degree theory, the dual mechanism theory, and the micro-ice-crystal lens model theory. The influence laws of freezing-thawing on the mechanical properties of concrete are summarized, and countermeasures to improve concrete durability in freezing-thawing circumstances are presented. This work provides valuable references for future engineering constructions in cold regions. 相似文献
Many light rare earth deposits, such as Maoniuping, Dalucao, Panzhihua deposits, are collectively distributed in Panxi rift of Sichuan Province, China, and closely associated with the aegirine quartz syenite-carbonatite complex. Carbon and oxygen isotope studies demonstrate that the carbonatites in the complex are of typical igneous origin related to mantle processes. Electronic microprobe studies show that the fluid-melt inclusions found in the complex are enriched in light rare earth elements (LREE), which suggests that the magma was rich in LREE and could serve as the ore source for the regional LREE mineralization. Both the aegirine quartz syenite-carbonatite complex and the LREE mineralization found therein were derived from the mantle. The rare gas isotope analyses also support that there is a genetic association between the LREE mineralization and mantle processes.
