Impact of trace elements (total and labile fraction) on the anaerobic digestion activity and microbial community structure by Rahul H.M. Pires, Maria P. Tomasino, Stéphane Simon, Rémy Buzier, Gilles Guibaud, C. Marisa R. Almeida, Ana P. Mucha

“…Trace elements (TEs) in anaerobic digestion (AD) are known to be essential for optimal biogas production, but inhibitive in excessive concentrations. However, the mechanisms of inhibition are not fully understood. The effects of the addition essential TEs (Co, Cu and Ni) and a non-essential TE (Cd) on the microbial community structure of AD were studied in lab-scale reactors, using total TE concentrations that ranged from 0 to 100 μM. …”

Factors Affecting the Adsorption of Zn and Cd Ions from Aqueous Solution onto Vermiculite by Wu Xiaofu, Zhao Fang, Chen Mingli, Zhang Yangli, Zhao Chong, Zhou Hailan

“…Subject to the magnitude of C 0 /W 0 , the value of q e could either attain its maximum level, q m (the maximum adsorption density), when the solid surface was fully saturated, or approach its critical limit, q c (the C 0 /W 0 ratio), when the ions in the bulk solution had been completely removed. The main mechanism for adsorption in the systems studied was ion-exchange. …”

Analysis of Overburden Structure and Pressure-Relief Effect of Hard Roof Blasting and Cutting by Hao Liu, Jin Dai, Jinquan Jiang, Pu Wang, Jiqiang Yang

“…In this paper, control of the large deformation of rock surrounding the GSE is evaluated on the basis of the overlying structure and pressure-relief principle caused by roof cutting. Moreover, a mechanics model of a three-hinged arch structure (THAS) and a universal distinct element code (UDEC) numerical model with regard to the overlying rock movement were established to study the relationship among the rotation angle of key blocks in the THAS, the width of the roadway and the wall force beside it, and the optimal cutting position and cutting angle to reveal the pressure-relief effect of roof blasting and cutting and its influence on the support stability of the roadway. …”
