Prediction of sediment,particulate nutrient and dissolved nutrient concentrations in a dry tropical river to provide input to a mechanistic coastal water quality model

A Generalised Additive Modelling (GAM) approach is applied to prediction of both particulate and dissolved nutrient concentrations in a wet-tropical river (the Fitzroy River, Queensland, Australia). In addition to covariant terms considered in previous work (i.e. flow, discounted flow and a rising-falling limb term), we considered several new potential covariates: meteorological and hydrological variables that are routinely monitored, available in near-real time, and were considered to have potential predictive power. Of the additional terms considered, only flows from three tributaries of the Fitzroy River (namely, the Nogoa, Comet and Isaac Rivers) were found to significantly improve the model. Inclusion of one or more of these additional flow terms greatly improved results for dissolved nitrogen and dissolved phosphorus concentrations, which were not otherwise amenable to prediction. In particular, the Nogoa sub-catchment, dominated by pasture for cattle, was found to be important in determining dissolved inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations reaching the river mouth. This insight may direct further research, including future refinement of processed-based catchment models. The GAMs described here are used to provide near real-time river boundary conditions for a complex coupled hydrodynamic and biogeochemical model of the Great Barrier Reef Lagoon, and can be coupled with a forecasting hydrological model to allow integrated forecasting simulations of the catchment to coast system.     

Importance of finding the proper ratio of alkaline earth oxide in a lithium-bismuthate-phosphate glass in order to enhance the tailoring of structural and electrical properties

Structural features of the glass family xLi₂O- yMgO (4.8 Bi₂O₃ 47.6 P₂O₅) obtained by melt quenching technique were studied taking into account the density, FTIR and UV–vis spectra and also the electrical response observed by impedance spectroscopy. In this work it becomes clarified how the alkaline earth oxides stabilize the glassy matrix and also, the fundamental importance of determining the optimal proportion in order to obtain a flabby easily polarizable matrix to enhance the electrical behavior due to a boosted cation mobility. It is evidenced that when the glass composition becomes complex it is needed to take into account a larger number of structural parameters to understand, to predict or to design the resulting physical properties.     

A mixed collector system for phosphate flotation

Flotation has been used in industry for more than a half century as the primary technique for upgrading phosphate. While the flotation of phosphate was inefficient when oleic acid was used alone as a collector, therefore a mixed collector of oleic acid (HOl), linoleic acid (LA) and linolenic acid (LNA) was employed to improve the recovery of phosphate flotation. The batch flotation results showed that the optimal composition of the mixed collector was 54 wt.% HOl, 36 wt.% LA and 10 wt.% LNA. Additionally, the effect of pH on the mixed collector application was studied while considering the surface tension, contact angle and micro-flotation. The results showed that the mixed collector should be used at a pH of 9.5. Above a pH of 9.5, the adsorption of fatty acids dimers on the apatite surface hindered phosphate flotation. The influence of the mixed collector assembly on apatite flotation was also investigated. It was demonstrated that due to its low critical micelle concentration, a sufficiently hydrophobic apatite surface could be generated at a collector concentration of 60 mg/L. In addition, zeta potential experiments suggested that collector adsorption was governed by chemisorption. FTIR and XPS spectra studies further indicated that the chemical reaction involved the carboxyl groups of fatty acids and Ca species at the apatite surface for each fatty acid in the mixed collector.

Integrating a membrane and a fluidized pellet reactor for removing hardness: effects of NOM and phosphate

A novel treatment process combining a membrane with outside-in flow configuration and a fluidized pellet rector for removing hardness was studied. The effects of influent water quality, e.g., concentrations of natural organic matter (NOM) and phosphate along with the hydrophobicity of NOM, on the hardness removal efficiency of the novel process were investigated. The hardness removal efficiency decreases with increasing NOM concentration. However, the NOM removal efficiency is independent of NOM concentration and is related to the hydrophobicity of NOM samples. Raw water containing phosphate has adverse impact on the hardness removal efficiency, which decreases from 85% for treating water containing no phosphate to only 38% and 14% for water containing 0.33 mg/L and 1.63 mg/L of phosphate, respectively.

Comparative electrochemical studies of zinc chromate and zinc phosphate as corrosion inhibitors for zinc

The anticorrosive performance of two inhibitive pigments, zinc chromate and zinc phosphate, was compared using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and the scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET) in pigment extracts in 0.1 M NaCl. It was observed that zinc was protected from corrosion in both extracts. In tests using hot dip galvanised steel painted with an epoxy primer incorporating the pigments, the SVET detected the anodic and cathodic distribution along the scribes, although no significant differences were observed among the various primers. On the contrary, EIS was able to distinguish processes occurring on the metal surface exposed by the scribe in different samples. For primers with anticorrosive pigment, a time constant at high frequencies was attributed to a layer of protective nature, probably formed by metal ions from the substrate and inhibitive ions leached from the anticorrosive pigments.
