We reported an iron-oxidizing bacterial strain HX3 from a municipal sludge that facilitates the formation of pure schwertmannite in cultures. Ferrous iron oxidation by the isolated strain HX3 was optimum at an initial pH of 2.0-3.3 and temperature of 28-35°C. Pure schwertmannite was found through bacterial oxidation of ferrous iron at an initial pH 2.8and temperature 28°C. Following 16 S rDNA gene sequence analysis the bacterial strain HX3 was identified as Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. The arsenic-resistance A. ferrooxidans HX3 showed the potential of environmental application in arsenic removal from the As（Ⅲ）- and iron-rich acid sulfate waters directly by As（Ⅲ） adsorption or the formation of schwertmannite in the environment.展开更多

Quantum carpet mechanisms are also akin to the classical interference patterns of light. Although the origins of quantum carpets have previously been studied by various researchers, many interesting details are still worth exploring. In this study, we present a unified framework for simultaneously analyzing three different features of quantum carpets: full revival,fractional revival, and diagonal canal. For the fractional revival feature, a complete formula is presented to explain its formation through Gaussian sum theory, in which all essential features, including phases and amplitudes, are captured analytically. We also reveal important relationships between the interference terms of diagonal canals and their geometric interpretations such that a better understanding of the development of diagonal canals can be supported.展开更多
