Water Level Variation Monitoring in East Lake, Wuhan Based on Satellite Altimetry by LIU Huo-sheng, WANG Hai-hong, YU Qian-hui, LU Liang, QIN Peng-cheng, LIU Yi-bing

“…[Results] (1) Statistical analysis of pulse peakiness and waveform width from the lake surface altimetry echoes revealed that approximately 50% of East Lake’s waveforms exhibited specular reflections with distinct sharp peaks, while about 30% displayed complex shapes containing two or more peaks. (2) The results of accuracy validation using the on-site measured data of water levels showed that the 50% threshold retracking method achieved optimal performance, with a root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.108 m and a correlation coefficient of 0.87. (3) Based on the 50% threshold retracking method, and using Jason-3 data, the water level time series of East Lake from September 2017 to February 2022 was established. …”

Beryllium adsorption from beryllium mining wastewater with novel porous lotus leaf biochar modified with PO4 3−/NH4 + multifunctional groups (MLLB) by Xu Zhao, Qingliang Wang, Yige Sun, Haoshuai Li, Zhiwu Lei, Boyuan Zheng, Hongyang Xia, Yucheng Su, Khan Muhammad Yaruq Ali, Hongqiang Wang, Fang Hu

“…Kinetic and thermodynamic experiments showed that the adsorption capacity (Qe) of Be with MLLB from the simulated beryllium mining wastewater could reach 40.38 g kg−1 (35 °C, pH = 5.5), and the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. The dispersion coefficient Kd of Be with MLLB was 2.6 × 104 mL g−1, which proved that MLLB had strong selective adsorption capacity for Be. …”
