Research Progress of Different Types of Microorganisms Passivation and Fixation of Cadmium Contamination by Ruihong CHEN, Yongli QIN, Feng LAI, Yongrong JIANG

“…In recent years, the microbial passivation and fixation has gradually become a hotspot in the field of heavy metal contamination control. Here is a review to summarize the mechanism of microbial passivation and fixation of cadmium based on the passivation and immobilization of typical strains and heavy metal cadmium: (1) Microbial cell walls and extracellular polymers (EPS) have abundant groups, such as carboxyl, hydroxyl, etc., which can effectively adsorb Cd2+, and passivated into crystalline minerals. (2) Sulfate-reducingbacteria, phosphate-dissolving bacteria, urease-producing bacteria in the environment can generate metal precipitates through their own metabolism, and then form crystal minerals through changes in the microenvironment. …”

Impact of Typhoons of Different Intensities on Short-Term Precipitation in the Middle and Lower Reaches of the Yangtze River in Summer by Zhongwu Zhang

“…The results show that the amount of short-term extreme precipitation is 1.8 and 3.7 times that of normal precipitation and short-term heavy precipitation, respectively. Considerable interannual and interdecadal fluctuations in the proportion of short-term heavy precipitation and extreme precipitation during summer are affected by typhoons, with a wide range of changes occurring between 1980 and 2000. …”
