Most of the Penicillium isolates except P. sirnplicissimum AP 11 and P. variabile AP 15 developed clear transparent zone around the colony margin in plate assays. Results of broth assays show that the Penicillium isolates can efficiently solubilize aluminum phosphate in Pikovskaya liquid medium, and vary in their capabilities to release soluble phosphate from aluminum phosphate. All the isolates exhibit different abilities to lower the pH and increase the titratable acidity in the broth compared to the control. HPLC analysis shows that most of the isolates except the species of P. aurantiogriseum can excrete different concentrations of organic acids, including gluconic acid, citric acid, oxalic acid, malic acid and tartaric acids, in the broth. The release of soluble phosphate by the isolate P. oxalicum AP2, which is the best solubilizer of aluminum phosphate among the isolates, is accompanied by a significant drop of pH and an obvious rise of titratable acidity during 7 d of aluminum phosphate-solubilizing experiments. The effects of temperature, initial pH, concentration of aluminum phosphate and shaking speed on aluminum phosphate solubilization by P. oxalicum AP2 were also investigated, and the maximum contents of soluble phosphate released are recorded at temperature 30 ℃, initial pH 6, aluminum phosphate concentration 20 g/L, and shaking speed 160 r/min.展开更多

Hydroxides and oxides of Al, Fe and Mn were prepared in lab under opened and closed conditions to react with phosphate. The newly formed Mn hydroxide showed the strongest P-fixing abilityl even several times higher than Fe hydroxide, but became the lowest rapidly due to ageing when exposed to air. Mn oxide showed the lowest p-fixing ability. Therefore, a sound consideration on P fixation should be based on both quantities and p-fixing abilities of the compounds of Fe, Al and Mn. The importance of Mn on P availability should receive more attention especially under oxidation-reduction dynamic conditions.展开更多

For the PEO in S1 electrolyte, a mixed layer of AlPO4and Al2O3is formed at the initial stage, which leads to fast plasma discharges and formation of black coatings with the compositions of Al2O3,CuO, Cu2O and ZnO. However, in S2 electrolyte, plasma discharges are delayed and the coatings show a reddish color due to more Cu2O. Mott-Schottky tests show that the S1 coatings are p-type semiconductors;while the S2 coatings can be adjusted between n-type and p-type. Potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) tests show that the PEO treatment can significantly improve the corrosion resistance of brass, with protection efficiency up to 91.50% and the largest charge transfer resistance of 59.95 kΩ·cm^(2) for the S1 coating.展开更多

The results reveal that an increase in the synthesis temperature generally improves the specific surface area of the sample and the phosphate adsorption capacity. The significantly enhanced crystallin- ity of the Zn-Al-30, synthesized at 30 °C, leads to a remarkable decrease in the specific surface area and consequently a poor phosphate adsorption capacity. It is suggested that the surface adsorption plays an important role in the phosphate uptake by the Zn-Al LDHs. Zn-Al-70 presents a relatively higher crystallinity and a lower specific surface area, compared with Zn-Al-60 and Zn-Al-80, but the highest phosphate adsorption capacity, indicating that surface adsorption is only one of the pathways for phosphate removal. The phosphate adsorption by the Zn-Al follows a pseudo-second-order kinetic equation. The adsorption isotherms fit Langmuir models, and the maximum a dsorption capacities of the Zn-Al-25, Zn-Al-50 and Zn-Al-70 are estimated to be 17.82, 21.01 and 27.10 mg·g-1 adsorbent, respectively.展开更多
