Ion-exchange reactions on clay minerals and cation selective membrane properties as possible mechanisms of economic metal concentration     

A. Weiss  G. C. Amstutz 《Mineralium Deposita》1966,1(1):60-66

A series of exploratory experiments on the concentration of base metals through ion exchange reactions on clay minerals show promising results. The extraction of Pb, Zn and Cd from bentonite, illite, kaolinite and montmorillonite was successful and megascopic quantities of PbS, CdS and ZnS could be obtained at specific loci, depending essentially on the flow velocity, and the other cations present. These or similar exchange reactions are tentatively proposed as possible mechanisms of economic metal concentration during diagenesis.

Zusammenfassung Es werden experimentelle Resultate zur Anreicherung von Schwermetallen durch Tonminerale (Montmorillonite, Illite und Kaolinite) mitgeteilt. Eine erste Anreicherung kann über den Kationenaustausch bewirkt werden. In dem darauffolgenden zweiten, sehr viel wirksameren Schritt werden die Schwermetallionen aus den Tonlagern extrahiert und in deren Nähe als schwerlösliche Sulfide oder Carbonate gefällt. Die Extraktion beruht darauf, daß Tonschichten als Kationen-permeable Membranen wirken können. Sie wird von der Art der Tonminerale und der Kationen, den Lösungsgenossen, den Konzentrationsverhältnissen, dem pH-Wert, der Reaktionstemperatur, dem Porenvolumen und der Porenverteilung im Sediment beeinflußt.

Electrochemical strengthening of clayey sandy soils     

Lucas G. Adamson  Donald W. Quigley  H. Ross Ainsworth  George V. Chilingar 《Engineering Geology》1966,1(6):451-459

Most previous studies and applications of electrochemical stabilization of soils through electroosmosis have been made on clayey soils. The object of this investigation was to find out if relatively small amounts of clay (1.5%–3.5%, by weight) present in a sandy soil would be enough for stabilization and strengthening to be possible. The results indicate increases of cohesion of the order of 100–200 lb./sq.ft. X-ray analyses of treated soils indicate that sheet structures of clays are reduced and silicates destroyed upon treatment by electroosmosis. Newly-formed minerals also cement the soil. These neoformations include gibbsite, limonite, calcite, hydrohematite, hydrogoethite (hydrolepidocrocite), hisingerite, allophane, allophanoid, gypsum, hematite, magnetite, nontronite, trona and natron (Na₂ CO₃, 10H₂O). The process seems to be irreversible.  相似文献

Isotopic variation of fishes in freshwater and estuarine zones of a large subtropical coastal lagoon     

A.M. Garcia  D.J. Hoeinghaus  J.P. Vieira  K.O. Winemiller 《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》2007,73(3-4):399-408

We used stable C and N isotope ratios of tissues from 29 fish species from a large subtropical lagoon in southern Brazil to examine spatial variability in isotopic composition and vertical trophic structure across freshwater and estuarine habitats. Nitrogen isotope ratios indicated a smooth gradation in trophic positions among species, with most fishes occupying the secondary and tertiary consumer level. Fish assemblages showed a significant shift in their carbon isotopic signatures between freshwater and estuarine sites. Depleted carbon signatures (from −24.7‰ to −17.8‰) were found in freshwater, whereas more enriched signatures (from −19.1‰ to −12.3‰) were obtained within the estuarine zone downstream. Based on our survey of the C₃ and C₄ plants and isotopic values for phytoplankton and benthic microalgae reported for ecosystems elsewhere, we hypothesized that the observed δ¹³C differences in the fish assemblage between freshwater and estuarine sites is due to a shift from assimilating organic matter ultimately derived from C₃ freshwater marsh vegetation and phytoplankton at the freshwater site (δ¹³C ranging from −25‰ to −19‰), to C₄ salt-marsh (e.g. Spartina) and widgeon grass (Ruppia maritima), benthic microalgae and marine phytoplankton at the estuarine sites (from −18‰ to −12‰). Our results suggested that fish assemblages are generally supported by autochthonous primary production. Freshwater fishes that likely were displaced downstream into the estuary during periods of high freshwater discharge had depleted δ¹³C values that were characteristic of the upper lagoon. These results suggest that spatial foodweb subsidies can occur within the lagoon.  相似文献   

Reduction of hydroelastic responses of a very-long floating structure by a floating oscillating-water-column breakwater system     

D.C. Hong  S.Y. Hong  S.W. Hong 《Ocean Engineering》2006,33(5-6):610-634

The hydroelastic responses of a very-long floating structure (VLFS) placed behind a reverse T-shape freely floating breakwater with a built-in oscillating water column (OWC) chamber are analyzed in two dimensions. The Bernoulli–Euler beam equation is coupled with the equations of rigid and elastic motions of the breakwater and the VLFS. The interaction of waves between the floating rigid breakwater and the elastic VLFS is formulated in a consistent manner. It has been shown numerically that the structural deflections of the VLFS can be reduced significantly by a suitably designed reverse T-shape floating breakwater.  相似文献

Numerical Experiment on Two-Dimensional Line Thermal     

J.H.W.LEE  G.Q.CHEN 《中国海洋工程》2002,16(4):453-467

The time evolution of a two-dimensional line thermal-a turbulent flow produced by an initial element with signifi-cant buoyancy released in a large water body, is numerically studied with the two-equation k - e model for turbulence closure. The numerical results show that the thermal is characterized by a vortex pair flow and a kidney shaped concentra-tion structure with double peak maxima; the computed flow details and scalar mixing characteristics can be described by self-similar relations beyond a dimensionless time around 10. There are two regions in the flow field of a line thermal: a mixing region where the concentration of tracer fluid is high and the flow is turbulent and rotational with a pair of vortex eyes, and an ambient region where the concentration is zero and the flow is potential and well-described by a model of doublet with strength very close to those given by early experimental and analytical studies. The added virtual mass coeffi-cient of the thermal motion is found to be approximat  相似文献

Numerical study of the motions and drift force of a floating OWC device     

D. C. Hong  S. Y. Hong  S. W. Hong 《Ocean Engineering》2004,31(2):139-164

The motion and the drift force of a floating OWC (oscillating water column) wave energy device in regular waves are studied taking account of the oscillating surface-pressure due to the pressure drop across the duct of the air chamber. The potential problem inside the chamber is formulated by making use of the Green integral equation associated with the Rankine-type Green function while the outer problem with the Kelvin-type Green function. The added mass, wave damping and excitation coefficients as well as the motion and drift force of the OWC device are calculated for various values of parameter related to the pressure drop.  相似文献
