Kinetics of hydrogen absorption in transition metals and subsurface bonding
We have modified the kinetic equations for the absorption of hydrogen in transition metals to include the effects of strong subsurface bonding. The new equations show that the subsurface, self-trapped hydrogen acts as a valve for the admission of hydrogen into the bulk. The explanation for a number of experimental facts, not well understood before, neatly follows. Discrepancies between theory a...
متن کاملEstablishing Sampling Procedures in Lake Cores for Subsurface Biosphere Studies: Assessing In Situ Microbial Activity
Sub-recent sediments in modern lakes are ideal to study early diagenetic processes with a combination of physical, chemical, and biological approaches. Current developments in the rapidly evolving field of geomicrobiology have allowed determining the role of microbes in these processes (Nealson and Stahl, 1997; Frankel and Bazylinski, 2003). Their distribution and diversity in marine sediments ...
متن کاملLIFirr with an Indicator of Microbial Activity in Paraffinic Oil
Paraffinic oils were submitted to microbial action. The microorganisms consisted of bacteria of the genera Pseudomonas sp. and Bacillus lincheniforms. The alterations in interfacial tension were determined using a tensometer and applying the hanging drop technique at room temperature (299 K ±275 K). The alteration in the constitution of the paraffins was evaluated by means of gas chromatography...
متن کاملKinetics of subsurface hydrogen adsorbed on niobium: Thermal desorption studies
The adsorption/absorption of hydrogen and the adsorption of carbon monoxide by niobium foils, at room temperature, was studied using thermal desorption spectroscopy. Two hydrogen desorption peaks were observed with a maximum at 404 and 471 K. The first hydrogen desorption peak is regarded as hydrogen desorbing from surface sites while the second peak, which represents desorption from surface si...
متن کاملSediment microbial enzyme activity as an indicator of nutrient limitation in Great Lakes coastal wetlands
1. We compared the extracellular enzyme activity (EEA) of sediment microbial assemblages with sediment and water chemistry, gradients in agricultural nutrient loading (derived from principal component analyses), atmospheric deposition and hydrological turnover time in coastal wetlands of the Laurentian Great Lakes. 2. There were distinct increases in nutrient concentrations in the water and in ...
