Inducing mineral precipitation in groundwater by addition of phosphate
BACKGROUND Induced precipitation of phosphate minerals to scavenge trace elements from groundwater is a potential remediation approach for contaminated aquifers. The success of engineered precipitation schemes depends on the particular phases generated, their rates of formation, and their long term stability. The purpose of this study was to examine the precipitation of calcium phosphate minera...
متن کاملPrecipitation of nucleotides by calcium phosphate.
Earlier it has been shown that nucleic acids of high molecular weight can be be introduced into cells by coprecipitation with calcium phosphate. We have studied the requirements for calcium phosphate coprecipitation of shorter nucleotides. The degree of coprecipitation of dodecanucleotides lacking terminal phosphate varied between 25 and 72%. Tetramers with a 5'-monophosphate were coprecipitate...
متن کاملMicrobial precipitation of dolomite in methanogenic groundwater
We report low-temperature microbial precipitation of dolomite in dilute natural waters from both field and laboratory experiments. In a freshwater aquifer, microorganisms colonize basalt and nucleate nonstoichiometric dolomite on cell walls. In the laboratory, ordered dolomite formed at near-equilibrium conditions from groundwater with molar Mg:Ca ratios of ,1; dolomite was absent in sterile ex...
متن کاملFootprints of climate in groundwater and precipitation
In the last decades, the 18O/16O signature of meteoric water became a key tracer intensively used both in hydrology and in paleoclimatology, based primarily on the correlation of the 18O/16O ratio in precipitation with temperature. This correlation with temperature is generally well understood as a result of Rayleigh processes of atmospheric vapour during the formation of precipitation. The res...
متن کاملRemoval of Iron from Groundwater by Sulfide Precipitation
Iron in groundwater is one of the problems that render the water unsuitable for drinking. The concentration above 0.3 mg/L is common in groundwater. The conventional method of removal is by precipitation under oxic condition. In this study, iron removal under anaerobic conditions was examined by batch experiment as a main purpose. The process involved by purging of groundwater samples with H2S ...
