Satellite Tracking Reveals the Speed Up of the Lacustrine Algal Bloom Drift in Response to Climate Change.

Satellite evidence indicates a global increase in lacustrine algal blooms. These blooms can drift with winds, resulting in significant changes of the algal biomass spatial distribution, which is crucial in bloom formation. However, the lack of long-term, large-scale observational data has limited our understanding of bloom drift.

Rapid and green detection of manganese in electrolytes by ultraviolet-visible spectrometry to control pollutant discharge.

Controlling the manganese (Mn2+) concentration is important to product quality in the electrolytic manganese industry. Conventional methods for detecting Mn2+ are complex and reagent-consuming, which makes them slow and polluting. It is of great significance to develop a new fast and environmentally friendly method to quantify Mn2+ in electrolyte.

Degradation of Tetracycline with BiFeO₃ Prepared by a Simple Hydrothermal Method.

BiFeO₃ particles (BFO) were prepared by a simple hydrothermal method and characterized. BFO was pure, with a wide particle size distribution, and was visible light responsive. Tetracycline was chosen as the model pollutant in this study.

Combined effects of graphene oxide and Cd on the photosynthetic capacity and survival of Microcystis aeruginosa.

In this work, the combined effects of graphene oxide (GO) and Cd(2+) solution on Microcystis aeruginosa were investigated. Chlorophyll fluorescence parameters were measured by a pulse-amplitude modulated fluorometer. GO at low concentrations exhibited no significant toxicity.
