A long-term field-scale demonstration project on the feasibility of using P to immobilize Pb in a Pb-contaminated urban soil was conducted. Phosphate was applied at an average rate of 3040 mg Pykg soil based on a PyPb molar ration of 4.0, with four treatments: T , no P application; T , H PO only; T , 1y2 H PO q1y2 CaH PO ; and T , 0 1 3 4 2 3 4 2 4 3 1y2 H PO q1y2 phosphate rock. Soil samples w...

Arsenic leachability in water treatment adsorbents was studied using batch leaching tests, surface complexation modeling and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy. Spent adsorbents were collected from five pilot-scale filters that were tested for removal of arsenic from groundwater in Southern New Jersey. The spent media included granular ferric hydroxide (GFH), granular...

Thiopeptides, including micrococcins, are a growing family of bioactive natural products that are ribosomally synthesized and heavily modified. Here we use a refactored, modular in vivo system containing the micrococcin P1 (MP1) biosynthetic genes (TclIJKLMNPS) from Macrococcus caseolyticus str 115 in a genetically tractable Bacillus subtilis strain to parse the processing steps of this pathway...

In this paper, we describe TCLP, a Temporal Causal Link Planner which takes into account the duration of actions and accepts disjunctive temporal relations, while still using the principles of traditional planners which assume actions are instantaneous. We have defined a model of action with duration, and translate any temporal disjunctive relation between 2 actions with duration into a set of ...

The aim of this study was to produce a low-cost activated carbon (AC) from an inexpensive precursor material, corn stigmata (CS), by chemical activation at low temperatures using H3PO4, ZnCl2 and KOH. results were showed that with phosphoric acid provides adsorbent larger specific surface area (SBET) high pore size. Textural physicochemical properties ACs H3PO4 then studied in different tempera...

In this paper, a series of equilibrium and kinetic experiments Hg(II) removal in single-stage batch reactor on natural (NZ) sulfur-impregnated zeolite (SZ) were performed. Batch sorption zeolites was studied using different isothermal models. It found to be best described by the Brouers-Sotolongo isotherm Vermeulen’s approximation, which applied optimizing mass contact time two-stage cross-curr...

cobalt chromite (cocr2o4) with normal spinel structure, shows catalytic activity for oxidation of unburned methane in the natural gas vehilcles (ngv). in this study, cocr2o4 nanoparticles were synthesized through a conventional co-precipitation technique and investigated for the catalytic combustion of methane. cobalt nitrate hexahydrate, chromium nitrate nonahydrate and ammonia solution (25%) ...
