[Seasonal Variation on Nutrient Limitation for Phytoplankton Growth in a Coastal River-Reservoir System, Southeast China].

A comprehensive analysis was conducted using a dataset obtained from October in 2013 to October in 2014 monitoring in 20 headwater streams of Jiulong River and four reservoirs, situated in such a coastal river-reservoir system in Southeast China suffering from intensive anthropogenic disturbance. In-situ monitoring, GIS and statistical analysis were coupled in this study to identify the spatiotemporal variations of nutrients & phytoplankton abundance and community structure, the differentiation of nitrogen & phosphorus limitation of phytoplankton growth, and the seasonal variations in nutrient limitation of phytoplankton growth. The results showed that there were obvious spatiotemporal variations in terms of nutrients & phytoplankton abundance and community structure in the 20 headwater streams and four reservoirs.

[Studies for killing the oceanic harmful organisms in ship's ballast water using hydroxyl radicals].

With a physical method of strong electric-field discharge, O2 in air and H2O at gas state are ionized and dissociated into a number of activated particles such as *OH, O2+, H2O+, etc, which are injected into a part of ballast water to form the dissolved *OH. High concentration of *OH solution was injected into the main pipe of discharge ballast water to effectively and fast kill the oceanic harmful organisms and bacteria in the course of conveying ship's ballast water. In the 10 t x h(-1) experimental system of ship's ballast water, the experiments were carried out for killing the plankton and bacteria using *OH radicals.

[Rapid elimination of surface organophosphorous pollutants using hydroxyl radical].

According to the frequency of contamination accident for organic compounds in recent years, two kinds of organophosphorus pesticides dichlorvos and omethoate, as the simulated organic pollutants, were rapidly eliminated using spraying hydroxyl radical produced by strong electric-field ionization discharge method on an aluminium flat plate about 160 cm2. The high concentration aqueous *OH solution was produced from H2O(gas) and O2 with plasma reaction. In a condition, where pH is 6 and the initial densities of dichlorvos and omethoate on the simulation plane are both 60 microg x cm(-2), when the spray density of *OH reaches 3.

[Study on the degradation of phenol wastewater using hydroxyl radical produced by plasma and the course by UV spectra].

The phenol wastewater with high concentration was treated by hydroxyl radical produced by a strong ionization discharge plasma in the present article. Salicylic acid used as molecular probe to determine the concentration of hydroxyl radical. The phenol elimination efficiency of wastewater whose initial concentration was 1 21 5 mg x L(-1) could reach 99.
