The sequential strategy was employed to obtain the numerical solution of the modei using finite difference method. A non-uniform grid of discretization points was emploved to increase the accuracy of the numerical solution by means of coordinate transformation. One-dimensional column tests were conducted to verify the modei. The column was packed with simulated soils that were spiked with 2-chlorophenol. Ozone gas passed through the column at a flow rate of 100ml·min-1. The residual 2-chlorophenol content at different depths of the column was determined at fixed time intervals. Compared the experimental data with the simulated values, it was found that the mathematical modei fitted data well during most time of the experiment.展开更多

Among traditional methods of environmental remediation,it is common to add excessive electron donors or electron acceptors to the polluted environment,but these methods have a high cost and can cause secondary pollution easily. Microbial fuel cells( MFCs) can realize the transformation of pollutants and collection of electric energy by using microorganisms as a catalyst; they are clean,efficient and controlled easily and have a wide range of application,so MFCs have wide application prospects in the field of environmental remediation. In this study,MFCs and their applications in the field of environmental remediation were summarized.展开更多

Given this issue, a full-scale experimental highway of WE was performed along the Qinghai-Tibet Highway(QTH) to investigate the differential deformation features and its developing law. The continuous three years' monitoring data taken from the experimental site, including the ground temperature and the layered deformation of WE and original embankment(OE), were used to analyze the thermal-deformation process. The results indicate that the widening part presented the remarkable thermal disturbance to the existing embankment(EE). The underlying permafrost was in a noteworthy degradation state, embodying the apparent decrease of the permafrost table and the increase of the ground temperature. Correspondingly, the heat disruption induced by widening led to a much higher deformation at the widening side compared to the original embankment, showing a periodic stepwise curve. Specifically, the deformation mainly occurred in the junction of the EE and the widening part, most of which was caused by the thawing consolidation near the original permafrost table. In contrast, the deformation of EE mainly attributed to the compression of the active layer. Furthermore, it was the deformation origination differences that resulted in the differential deformation of WE developed gradually during the monitoring period, the maximum of which reached up to 64 mm.展开更多
