High-Efficiency Oil–Water Filter In article number 2100594, Jiawei Hu, Yi Chen, and co-workers prepare a high-efficiency oil–water filter by coating sodium alginate hydrogel layer in the surface of porous sand core. This exhibits excellent separation ability toward mixed liquor emulsion. Moreover, it has chemical stability, easy cleanliness, strong durability. All these characteristics make thi...

Dissolved aluminum (III) in acidic soils or culture media is often rhizotoxic (inhibitory to root elongation). Alkaline solutions of Al are also sometimes rhizotoxic, and for that reason toxicity has been attributed to the aluminate ion, Al(OH)(4) (-). In the present study, seedlings of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv Tyler) and red clover (Trifolium pratense L. cv Kenland) were cultured in aera...

I n chemical pulping a large part of the wood is dissolved during digestion. The dry matter content of the generated black liquor is typically 12 to 18 wt% [1, 2]. In the case of kraft black liquors four main groups of organic constituents are present, 30-45 wt% ligneous material, 25-35 wt% saccharinic acids, about 10 wt% formic and acetic acid, and 3-5 wt% extractives. It also contains about 1...

Studies made in the field of microbiological degradation of lignin have included investigations with sodium and calcium lignosulfonates. Kazanskii and Mikhailova (1936) were unable to grow several wood-rotting fungi on neutralized waste sulfite liquor, but found that infusorial earth mixed cultures could grow albeit slowly (in 50-60 days) if several alterations were made in the composition of t...

Anode carbon residue is produced in the production of electrolytic aluminum. Its properties need to be studied for secondary utilization. In this paper, mineralogy anode from an aluminum plant Guizhou was studied. The chemical composition, structure, mineral occurrence state main elements, etc, investigated. results show that: mainly composed 14 minerals such as cryolite, cryolithionite, elpaso...
