h i g h l i g h t sFeS shows higher removal efficiency towards As(III) than As(V). In acidic solution FeS dissolve to S(-II) for As(V) reduction and As 2 S 3 formation. S(-II) react with As(V) to form S(0)-rich surface on FeS and inhibit As removal. S(II)-rich surface inhibit FeS dissolution and arsenic removal. As(V) reduction to As(III) by dosing Na 2 S prior to FeS improve As(V) removal. The utilization of arsenopyrite (FeAsS), the As ore mineral, produces strongly acidic wastewater with extremely high arsenic (As) concentrations. This study investigates the feasibility of using ferrous sulfide (FeS) as a sulfide [S(-II)] source to treat strongly acidic wastewater with high concentrations of arsenite [As(III)] and arsenate [As(V)]. The removal of As(III) by FeS was nearly 30% higher than that of As(V), and higher acidity and elevated FeS doses benefited their removal. At extremely high acidity of above 7 mol/L as H 2 SO 4 , the consumption of S(-II) by H 2 SO 4 inhibited As removal. At lower acidity of below 2 mol/L as H 2 SO 4 , elevated FeS doses up to 4 times the theoretical dose could achieve good As removal. SEM/EDS and XPS analysis indicated the formation of As 2 S 3 precipitates, and sulfur [S(0)] also formed in the As(V)-removing system. The tiny and negatively-charged S(0) particles tend to coat the FeS surface. The S(0)-enriched surface acts as a barrier to inhibit S(-II) detachment and As(V) penetration and inhibits As(V) removal thereafter. The reduction of As(V) to As(III) by Na 2 S, prior to dosing with FeS, is preferred to achieve rapid and favorable As(V) removal. The low-cost FeS provides available Fe(II) and S(-II) for As removal, and is practically valuable to treat acidic high-As wastewater.
This paper describes a large resource of multi-center and multi-topic heart sound databases, which were based on the measured data from more than 9,000 heart sound samples (saved in WAV file format). According to different research topics, these samples were respectively stored in different folders (corresponding to different research topics and distributed over various cooperative research centers), most of which as subfolds were stored in a pooled folder in the principal center. According to different research topics, the measured data from these samples were used to create different databases. Relevant data for a specific topic can be pooled in a large database for further analysis. This resource is shared by members of related centers for their own specific topic. The applications of this resource include evaluation of cardiac safety of pregnant women, evaluation of cardiac reserve for children, athletes, addicts, astronauts, and general populations, as well as studies on a bedside method for evaluating cardiac energy, reversal of S1-S2 ratio, etc.
Heterogeneous Fenton-like degradation of phenanthrene in aqueous solution was investigated using schwertmannite biosynthesized by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans LX5 as a catalyst.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
