Record 2 2014-01-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atomic Physics
  • Cancers and Oncology
CONT

Nanoscale iron offers distinct advantages over conventional iron for in-situ applications in groundwater because they can be delivered to the subsurface without the need for excavation. This removes limitations due to depth, site structures and facility operations. A nanoscale colloid is small enough to flow through the pore space and associated pore throats of many granular geologic matrixes. The issues governing potential transport are not so much direct filtration, but the effects of gravity and the attractive forces at work on the mineral and colloid surfaces; this also includes agglomeration of the colloids in the injection solution.

PHR

Nanoscale colloid particles, colloid-virus interactions.

CONT

Factors influencing the filtration performance of geotextile can be classified into four categories-external conditions(hydraulic gradient and loading state) ;(bio) chemical conditions of fluent(pH, hardness(e. g. [Fe], [Mn], [Mg], [Ca]), redox potential(Eh) for iron ochre, BOD and COD of water(substrate type/concentration), osmotic pressure and dissolved oxygen) ;the properties of basement material(coefficient of uniformity(Cu), coefficient of gradation(Cc), plastic index(PI), double hydrometer ratio(DHR) for dispersive clay, particle shape and grain hardness for granular soil, compaction degree of soil and saturation degree) ;and the properties of geotextile(filtration opening size(FOS), apparent opening size(AOS), fiber density, textile bulk density(mass/area), porosity, thickness and fiber material)... screen test results clearly indicated that the height of self filtration is proportional to the constriction size(Dc) of granular filter used. Additionally, they suggested the filter opening size value should be within the range between d50 and d80 for linearly graded soil and within the flat range in gap graded soil.

CONT

Pour les géotextiles utilisés comme filtres, on mesurera par commodité la probabilité de passage des particules de sol d'un diamètre connu. On assimile ainsi le géotextile à un tamis. On enregistre la taille maximale des particules traversant le tamis, mesure assimilée à un diamètre, d'où l'expression «diamètre de filtration». Plusieurs principes et méthodes sont actuellement utilisés pour définir cette caractéristique : tamisage à sec de billes de verre calibrées [...]; tamisage à sec de particules de sol [...]; tamisage de sol à l'humide [...]; tamisage de sol sous régime hydrodynamique.

CONT

Géotextiles. Détermination du diamètre d'ouverture de filtration. [Norme ONGC (Office des normes générales du Canada) 148.1, septembre 1994.]

OBS

L'ouverture Of de filtration du géotextile est conventionnellement exprimée par le d95 du sol.

OBS

On parle d'ouverture de filtration déterminée par tamisage à sec (en anglais : AOS; apparent opening size) et d'ouverture de filtration déterminée par tamisage hydrodynamique (en anglais : FOS; filtration opening size). L'expression «diamètre d'ouverture de filtration» est pléonastique.

  • Water Distribution (Water Supply)
DEF

Hard material forming on a water well screen ...

CONT

Aqua-Clear MGA is a dry blend of granular acid and additives used in the removal of iron, manganese and carbonate scale. It retains strength longer than most liquid acids which increases its cleaning capability. Applications/Functions : Disperse scale and incrustation. Removed scale and incrustation from water well screen, casing, gravel, and pumping equipment. Restore well production. Aqua-Clear MGA can be used in combination with Aqua-Clear AE to remove more difficult scale and incrustation. Advantages : Safe to use on all plastics, rubber and metals. No toxic vapours. Improves water quality(colour, taste and appearance). Reduces equipment and piping failures due to scale build up and corrosion. Lowers pumping costs.

Subject field(s)
  • Iron and Manganese Mining
CONT

Blue ore was derived from cherty oxide lithofacies of iron-formation and is composed of fine grained, blue to dark grey-black hematite with lesser amounts of red hematite, martite, and brown goethite. It has a distinctly porous granular texture and contains primary ovoid granules or oolites of iron oxide replaced by later hematite or goethite, or enlarged by overgrowths of iron oxide. Blue ore may be friable to crumbly or nodular, or hard coherent and lumpy where a high proportion of secondary iron oxide cements relict fragments.

Key term(s)

Le minerai de fer bleu est dérivé de lithofaciès oxydés et cherteux de la formation de fer; il est composé d'hématite à grain fin, de couleur bleue à gris foncé-noir, avec des quantités moindres d'hématite rouge, de martite et de goethite brune. Sa texture est distinctement grenue et poreuse et contient des granules ovoïdes primaires ou oolites d'oxydes de fer remplacés ultérieurement par de l'hématite ou de la goethite, ou agrandis par des accroissements secondaires d'oxydes de fer.
