The sorption mechanisms of Th(IV) on intrinsic and activated attapulgite were investigated by employing surface complexation model and FITEQL 3.2 code. The results indicated that the sorption sites of intrinsic attapulgite involved in the sorption process were main ion exchange site ( ≡ XNa/K), strong site (≡ SsOH) and weak site ( ≡ SwOH), while only strong site ( ≡SSOH) and weak site (≡SwOH) were predominant for activated attapulgite. At pH 〈 2.5, the species of Th(IV) was main Th4+ in aqueous solution; then the hydrolysis species of Th(IV) (i.e., Th(OH)22+, Th(OH)3+ and Yh(OH)40) gradually formed as pH increasing. For the sorption of Th(IV) on intrinsic attapulgite, both ion exchange species ( ≡ X2Th) and inner-sphere surface complexes ( ≡ SsOTh) were dominant, while only inner-sphere surface complexes (i.e., ≡SSOThOH and ≡ SWOTh) were observed for Th(IV) sorption to activated attapulgite. In the presence of humic acid (HA), the sorption of Th(IV) on activated attapulgite was obviously enhanced; and both ≡ SsOH-HA-Th and≡ SSOTh were the predominant speciation. It was also interesting to find that the addition of HA obviously provoked the desorption behavior of Th(IV).展开更多

We obtain a complete description of all subgroups of quadratic groups Q2n(R, A) which are normalized by elementary subgroups by form ideals, rather than usual ideals. For the weak sandwich theorem, we give a direct proof without using localization method.展开更多

Health care workers have implemented various strategies in an attempt to compensate for these pathological alterations. By rotating patients with ALI/ARDS between the supine and prone position, it is possible to achieve a significant improvement in PaO2/FiO2, decrease shunting and therefore improve oxygenation without use of expensive, invasive and exprimental procedures. Prone positioning is a safe and effective way to improve ventilation when conventional strategies fail to initiate a patient response. Because a specific cure for ARDS is not available, the goat is to support the patients with therapies that cause the least amount of injury while the lungs have an opportunity to heat. Based on current data, a trial of prone positioning ventilation should be offeted to the patients who have ALI/ARDS in the early course of the disease. Published studies exhibit substantial heterogeneity in clinical results, suggesting that an adequately sized study optimizing the duration of pronmg ventilation strategy is warranted to enable definitive conclusions to be drawn.展开更多
