Treatment of petrochemical wastewater with low C/N by IFFAS-ESMBR integrated composite process by ZHAO Xuan, LIU Tao, YANG Meng, QIAO Sen

“…Under the applied voltage of -1.2 V, the average growth rate of transmembrane pressure difference(TMP) of CNT-PVDF composite hollow fiber membrane was only 2.5 kPa/d, and the PN/PS of sludge on the membrane surface decreased gradually, indicating that the degree of irreversible membrane fouling was mild. 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing showed that a large number of carbon and nitrogen removal functional bacteria, such as Rhodobacterales, Verrucomicrobiales, Anaerolineales and Xanthomonadales, were enriched in suspended sludge, membrane surface sludge and carrier surface sludge, which played a significant role in the degradation of organic matter and ammonia nitrogen in the reactor. …”

Mid-Late Holocene Stalagmite δ18O and δ13C Records in Naduo Cave, Guizhou Province, China by Jialu Wang

“…A stalagmite ND3 collected in Naduo Cave was used to reconstruct the history of local climate and environmental changes from 0.55 to 5.07 ka BP based on the data of 13 230Th ages and 642 groups of oxygen and carbon stable isotopes. First, according to correlation analysis, δ18O and δ13C were significantly correlated (correlation coefficient r = 0.308, n = 318, P<0.001) during the 5.07–2.00 ka BP period. …”
