Influence Green Sand System by Core Sand Additions

Sand to Root Transfer of PAHs and PCBs by Carrots Grown on Sand with Pure Substances and Biosolids Amended Sand

A study on behaviour of trace organic compounds (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, PAH, and Polychlorinated Biphenyls, PCB) in a sand-plant system has been carried out, with the reclamation of wastewater treatment plant biosolids for agriculture in mind. Carrot plants (Daucus carota) were grown on soilless culture (sand), to provide optimal transfer conditions, in plant containers inside a temp...

Green fluorescent protein-tagged Leishmania in phlebotomine sand flies.

In this work we have used for the first time green fluorescent protein (GFP) tagged cells of the human parasite Leishmania donovani to observe its development in the gut of phlebotomine sand flies. Low numbers of GFP-tagged L. donovani were more easily detected than nontagged Leishmania, suggesting that GFP-tagged Leishmania could be used to efficiently study the biology of Leishmania in their ...

Study on Pyrolysis of Carbonaceous Additives in Green Sand Foundries

This research evaluated the hydrocarbon emission characteristics during pyrolysis of four carbonaceous additives that can be used in green sand foundries. These included a highly volatile bituminous coal, anthracite, lignite and cellulose. The samples were flash pyrolyzed in a Curie-point pyrolyzer at 920 C with a heating rate of about 3000 C/sec. This simulated the fast heating conditions that...

The Development and the Construction Method of a New Type of Sand Capping Method by Sand-upwelling System

As a water quality purification measure for areas such as lakes, a sand capping method by sand-upwelling system was developed. This method involves welling up clean sand from below contaminated sludge by using a water jet. The disposal of sludge and the acquirement of pure sand are not necessary like dredging and conventional sand capping works. Besides, the ecosystem will hardly be disturbed b...
