Environmental Factors Affecting Oxidation of Manganese in Pinal Creek, Arizona
The objectives of the laboratory work reported here were to quantify the net rates of removal of manganese [Mn(II)] by streambed sediments collected from a metals contaminated, perennial stream system (Pinal Creek near Globe AZ) and to determine the key variable(s) responsible for the limited removal of Mn(II) observed at this field site. Pinal Creek is characterized by significant spatial grad...
متن کاملDiversity of Mn oxides produced by Mn(II)-oxidizing fungi
Manganese (Mn) oxides are environmentally abundant, highly reactive mineral phases that mediate the biogeochemical cycling of nutrients, contaminants, carbon, and numerous other elements. Despite the belief that microorganisms (specifically bacteria and fungi) are responsible for the majority of Mn oxide formation in the environment, the impact of microbial spe cies, physiology, and growth sta...
متن کاملStructural and Magnetic Characterization of Mixed Oxides: A Study of Li-Ni-O and Li-Mn-O Systems
The present paper details the way to determine the cation distribution in mixed oxides with transition ions from the diffraction and magnetic susceptibility data. This approach allows one to determine phase abundances and phase compositions by two combined procedures. By X-ray diffraction Rietveld profile refinement and magnetic susceptibility data analysis it is possible to estimate the ratio ...
متن کاملCharacterization of microbial communities removing nitrogen oxides from flue gas: the BioDeNOx process.
BioDeNOx is an integrated physicochemical and biological process for the removal of nitrogen oxides (NOx) from flue gases. In this process, the flue gas is purged through a scrubber containing a solution of Fe(II)EDTA2-, which binds the NOx to form an Fe(II)EDTA.NO2- complex. Subsequently, this complex is reduced in the bioreactor to dinitrogen by microbial denitrification. Fe(II)EDTA2-, which ...
متن کاملBiogenic Mn-Oxides in Subseafloor Basalts
The deep biosphere of the subseafloor basalts is recognized as a major scientific frontier in disciplines like biology, geology, and oceanography. Recently, the presence of fungi in these environments has involved a change of view regarding diversity and ecology. Here, we describe fossilized fungal communities in vugs in subseafloor basalts from a depth of 936.65 metres below seafloor at the De...
