Results reveal that the gel beads have mechanical strength and chemical stability even under non-sterile harsh conditions, which may be attributed to the rarely seen structure(including three different layers: dense surface, tubular-shaped divergent structure and honeycomb crystal lattice layer) of the immobilized MA determined by scanning electron microscope(SEM). SEM also displays that more quantity of MA is attached to the inwall after cultivation, which demonstrates that the MA within beads maintains high bioactivity. Removal capacities on phosphorous(P) removal in wastewater in the presence and absence of the BG-11 medium were examined, and the removal ratios are 80.3% and76.7%, respectively, which indicates that the beads without providing ample nutrients still have high capacity of P removal. In addition, control experiment, utilizing polyvinyl alcohol and sodium alginate(PVA-SA) beads without immobilized MA,demonstrates that MA within beads plays the key role in absorbing P.展开更多

The mineral N, Pand K fertilizers (as urea, calcium superphosphate and KCl respectively) were incorporated at 100,25, and 100 kg ha^(-1), respectively, and the various pesticides were applied at the recommendedrates. The results of the experiment demonstrated a decline in the microbial abundance and soilmicrobial biomass phospholipid contents with the advancement of crop growth, and significant changesin substrate utilization pattern of soil microbial population studied were observed with differentmanagement practices and at different growth stages. The principal component analysis (PCA) usingall 95-carbon sources (BIOLOG plates) gave good differentiation among the treatments, indicatingthat they have different patterns of carbon utilization under different habitats. The data showedthat diversity in microbial community continuously changed with the progression in crop stage,particularly at physiological maturity (PM) stage that was evident from the utilization of differentcarbon sources at various crop stages.展开更多

It was found that the aminated hypercrosslinked resins had the highest adsorption capacities among the tested polymers. The empirical Freundlich equation was successfully employed to describe the adsorption process. Specific surface area and micropore structure of the adsorbent, in company with tertiary amino groups on matrix affected the adsorption performance towards catechol. In addition, thermodynamic study was carried out to interpret the adsorption mechanism. Kinetic study testified that the tertiary amino groups on the polymer matrix could decrease the adsorption rate and increase the adsorption apparent activation energy.展开更多

The adsorbent was characterized by various techniques, such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scarming' elec.tron micros cop.y, the rmogravimetric-differentialthermal analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscope. Batch isothermal equilibrium adsorption experiments were condcted to evaluate the adsorbent for the removal of Cu(Ⅱ) from wastewater. The effect of pH and agitation time on the adsorption capacity was also investigated, indicating that the optimum pH was 6.0. The equilibrium adsorp-tion data were correlated with Langmuir and Freundlich models. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of chitosan coated alumina sorbent as obtained from Langmuir adsorption isotherm was fotmd to be 315.46 mg.g-1 for Cu(Ⅱ). The adsorbent loaded with Cu(Ⅱ) was readily regenerated using 0.1 mol.L-1 sodium hydroxide solution. All these indicated that chitosan coated alumina adsorbent not only have high adsorption activity, but also had good stability in the wastewater treatment process.展开更多

The experiments show that this process is suitable for the treatment of sorbic acid manufacturing wastewater. About 98% sorbic acid and 50% CODcr were removed under optimal operating conditions, and 70% of sorbic acid in sorbic acid manufacturing wastewater was reclaimed. This process makes it possible to recover valuable materials from the wastewater and to improve the quality of effluent water.展开更多
