The industrial wastewater from resin production plants contains as major components phenol and formaldehyde, which are traditionally treated by biological methods. As a possible alternative method, electrochemical treatment was tested using solutions containing a mixture of phenol and formaldehyde simulating an industrial effluent. The anode used was a dimensionally stable anode (DSA?) of nominal composition Ti/Ru0.3Ti0.7O2, and the solution composition during the degradation process was analyzed by liquid chromatography and the removal of total organic carbon. From cyclic voltammetry, it is observed that for formaldehyde, a small offset of the beginning of the oxygen evolution reaction occurs, but for phenol, the reaction is inhibited and the current density decreases. From the electrochemical degradations, it was determined that 40?mA?cm?2 is the most efficient current density and the comparison of different supporting electrolytes (Na2SO4, NaNO3, and NaCl) indicated a higher removal of total organic carbon in NaCl medium. 相似文献

I assessed the direct influence of earthworm excretions, and the impact of earthworms through their action on the soil structure (increased macroporosity), on the population dynamics of the collembolan species Heteromurus nitidus. The intestinal content of Collembola arising from cultures on different soil types was observed, and two experimental cultures of H. nitidus were run: (1) a culture performed on an inert substrate supplied either with earthworm casts or with soil as food resource, (2) an experiment using microcosms with cores of two humus forms (moder and calcic mull), in the presence or absence of earthworms. The observation of gut contents revealed that H. nitidus feeds on excrements, the composition of which (ratio organic matter/mineral matter) varies according to the humus form where it lived. Slightly aged (10–15 days) organo-mineral casts of earthworms appeared to be a better food than calcic mull aggregates or organic material from moder. Densities of H. nitidus cultured in cores of calcic mull were higher than in moder, except when cores of moder were inhabited by an anecic earthworm for 2 months. The humus form strongly influenced populations of H. nitidus, firstly because densities of predators were higher in moder than in calcic mull, and probably also because of soil macroporosity. It was concluded that earthworms would affect predation on H. nitidus by creating a network of interconnected macropores in which Collembola can move and find shelter. 相似文献

Fractionation of Zinc in Paddy Soils of China 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The rice fields in China amount to 25.4 million hectares of which low yield paddy soils areabout 26%(Xu,1981;Xiao,1981).One of the most important causes of low yield is the defi-ciency in nutrients including zinc.Zinc deficiency usually occurs in calcareous paddy soils withpH>6.5(Zhu and Liu,1981).And the availability of zinc in calcareous paddy soils is lowerthan that in neutral and acid paddy soils. 相似文献

A greenhouse experiment was undertaken to evaluate the influence of pre‐storage drying treatments and duration of storage on the effectiveness of root inoculum of Glomus aggregatum. Conditions under which roots were dried prior to storage had little or no effect on the level of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) effectiveness measured in terms of pinnule phosphorus (P) content of Leucaena leucocephala leaves after the first 14 days of storage. As duration of storage was further prolonged the time required by root inocula for initiating AM effectiveness and attaining peak levels of effectiveness was progressively prolonged relative to that required by the crude inoculum. However, the two sources of inoculum had similar peak AM effectiveness in many instances. Roots dried in the greenhouse or in the oven at 40°C were significantly inferior to that dried at 60°C. Root inocula stimulated growth of the indicator plant to the same extent as the crude inoculum after 14 days of storage. However, the effectiveness of root inocula in stimulating growth declined with further increase in duration of storage. Among root inocula tested, that dried at 60°C prior to storage was relatively more effective than that dried in the greenhouse or in the oven at 40°C. The overall inferiority of root inocula to that of the crude inoculum appears to be related to loss of viability of root inocula with increase in duration of storage. 相似文献

This study assesses the effect of salinity in bioavailability and toxicity of Zn by means of laboratory bioassays by observing contamination in both sediment and water, accumulation of Zn in biological tissues, and histopathological damage in the gills and guts tissues of Ruditapes philippinarum clams, which were exposed to different types of sediments from the Gulf of Cádiz (SW Spain) as well as two dilutions of toxic mud coming from an accidental mining spill. With this objective, the coefficients of distribution (K D) for Zn between overlying water and sediments were calculated, the histopathological frequencies in the tissues of the gills and guts of clams were determined, and the biota-sediment bioaccumulation factors as well as the bioaccumulation factors were quantified in the different stations. Results showed that the greatest histopathological damages appeared when the salinity values decreased. Statistical results showed that salinity was inversely correlated with histopathological damage (p?<?0.01) for the lesion index for gills. The most outstanding results were observed in the two dilutions of toxic mud (0.3% and 7.9%) at a salinity value of 10. Salinity was inversely correlated with the concentration of Zn in biological tissues (p?<?0.05) and inversely correlated with the concentration of Zn in water and sediment. Zn mobilization to the overlying water is produced when salinity values decrease. 相似文献

The effects of cabutz, an end product of anaerobic fermentation of cow manure, and the effects of its components, on rooting of cuttings were investigated. Cuttings of mung bean (Vigna radiata L. Wilcz.) plants have rooted better in cabutz than in other rooting media. Cabutz extract increased the number of roots of mung bean cuttings as well as their roots length. Similar effects were obtained with a solution containing only the inorganic constituents of cabutz extracts. The complete cabutz extract, but not its mineral components, caused three pronounced effects: (a) it changed the distribution pattern of adventitious roots along the cuttings; (b) it delayed the initiation of roots at the base of the cuttings in the presence of high concentrations of cabutz extract; and (c) it reduced the water loss by cabutz‐treated cuttings. Similar effects were obtained when external abscisic acid was applied in concentrations similar to what was found in cabutz extracts. It is suggested that the effects of cabutz, on the rooting capability of cuttings, are mostly due to two of its components, nitrate and abscisic acid. 相似文献

Abstract Extract We succeeded in isolating a γ-HCH (γ-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexane)-decomposing aerobic bacterium from an upland field where γ-HCH had been repeatedly applied for more than 10 years. The bacterium was identified as Pseudomonas paucimobilis (Oyaizu and Komagata, 1983; Senoo and Wada 1989; Wada et al. 1989). We assumed that P. paucimobilis was able to thrive in the upland field by acquiring the γ-HCH-decomposing ability (Tu 1975, 1976) based on the following mechanism: 相似文献

Effect of Initial Soluble Salt Composition of Saline Soil on Salinity Tolerance of Barley Plant 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A pot experiment was carried out on a marine saline soil to study the effect of initial soluble Na/Ca ratio of saline soil on the salinity tolerance of barley plant.The results showed that (1) the Na/Ca ratio affected significantly the dry weight of the plant at an earlier stage of growth,the critical values of initial Na/Ca ratio at which the plant could grow normally on soils containing salts of 2.5,3.5 and 4.5g kg^-1 were 30,20 and 15,respectively;(2)smaller Na/Ca ratio resulted in a considerable decrease in Na accumulation but a great increase in K accumulation in the barley plant;and (3) the plasmallema of barley leaf were badly injured when the Na/Ca ratio was more than 30 and the increase of Na content of plant caused an exudation of K from the leaf cells.Some critical indexes were suggested for the cultivation of barley plant on marine saline soils and could be used as reference in the biological reclamation of marine saline soils. 相似文献

A large sample size technique was used to select 30 employers each from the private and public sector to examine their perception of the competence of agricultural graduates. Data were collected with a structured questionnaire and analyzed using means, standard deviation, and t test. The results show that, for 16 crop production tasks, public agroemployers were favorably disposed to competence in 4 tasks, while private employers were not favorably disposed to competence in any tasks. Both public and private employers were not favorably disposed to competence in farm engineering tasks. The Botswana College of Agriculture curriculum should be overhauled to better prepare graduates for employment. 相似文献

The aim of the study was to investigate how the quality of snow varies within a city. The study area is situated in the Luleå municipality, in northern Sweden (lat. 65°35′N and long. 22°10′E). For this study, the city was divided into three different types of areas: housing areas, city centre and outskirts. In one area of each type, sampling sites were selected. Snow samples were taken at nine occasions, once every fourteenth day in the city centre and in the housing area. Analyses were carried out for pH, conductivity, suspended solids and both the total and dissolved concentration of phosphorus and selected metals. It was concluded that traffic or activities related to traffic were a major source of heavy metals and phosphorus in urban snow, both in the city centre and in the housing area. Also, the type of area and the design of the street were important for the quality of snow. A clear relation was found between the pH and the quantity of suspended solids in the snow. Higher pH values were found in snow samples from sites with higher traffic loads, and lower pH values at sites, which were the no-traffic sites, with small quantities of particles. The particulate and dissolved substances in the snow behaved in different ways. 相似文献

Some physical (density, coefficient of filtration, particle-size composition, etc.) and chemical (contents of carbonates, organic carbon, nitrogen, etc.) properties of an alluvial calcareous soil were studied in Central Anatolia (Konya province, Çumra region). These heavy-textured (medium clay) soils with a low content of organic carbon (less than 1%) have favorable agrophysical properties due to the stable structure of the pore space. The studies of the water regime of soils under drop irrigation confirm the favorable hydrological properties of these soils. The use of the known agrophysical estimates (after Medvedev, the index of the optimal water regime, etc.) has revealed the high dispersal of the data related to the low humus content in these heavy-textured soils. The favorable structure of the pore space is suggested to be stipulated by the active activity of the numerous and diverse representatives of soil biota. Four phyla predominate in the microbio-logical composition of the soils studied; among them, Actinobacteria is the dominant. The composition of this phylum is dominated by the elevated number of both higher (Streptomyces) and lower (three species of Rhodococcus) actinobacteria. The high biodiversity of bacteria against the background of their great total number and the developed trophic interactions in the microbial community promote the well-balanced production of specific metabolites, including gaseous ones (CO2, H2). This circumstance allows this clayey soil to function rather actively while protecting the pore space against compaction and maintaining the optimal density, porosity, and hydrological properties. 相似文献

The effects of soil water regime and soil reaction on nitrogen distribution and fractional composition of newly-formed humus (decayed products) and the structural characteristics of the newly-formed humic acids(HAs) were studied in an incubation experiment,with the following results obtained: 1.The humus newly formed under submerged conditions was higher in the relative content of α-amino acid-N and the humic acid/fulvic acid (HA/FA) ratio than that under upland conditions.The HAs extracted from the former were also higher in C/O ratio,aromaticity and the contents of methoxyl groups and lignin-like components,but lower in the content of carboxyl groups than the HAs from the latter. 2.Under upland conditions,the C/ organic N ratio and the relative content of mobile HA of newly-formed humus were lower,but the HA/FA ratio was higher in the CaCO2-amended treatment than in non-amended treatment.The presence of CaCO3 also resulted in a decrease of C/N ratio of HA and a slight increase of its carboxyl group content.On the other hand,there was no significant change in the composition and properties of the newly-formed humus with the addition of CaCO3 under submerged conditions. 3.Compared with soil HAs,the newly-formed HAs contained more carbohydrates,polypeptides and lignin-like components,and were in lower degrees of oxidation and humification. 相似文献
