Metal Ion Adsorption by Peat and Solvent-Extracted Peat

Adsorption Science & Technology, 2004
The effect of the solvent extraction of peat on the sorption behaviour of three divalent metal ions [iron(II), lead and barium] was examined. Solvent extraction of peat resulted in particles of a smaller size with a significantly increased surface area.

Evaluation of a Model of Effective Thermal Conductivity in Soils by Power Averaging Partial Conductivities

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Soil thermal conductivity is a key factor for the soil heat balance and is widely used in many fields of soil science. However, it is necessary to measure thermal conductivity of soils that have different porosities and degrees of saturation.

ANTIOXIDANTS IN LIPIDS OF PEATS AND PEAT-FORMING PLANTS

chemistry of plant raw material, 2019
The paper presents the results of a study of antioxidant activity of lipids isolated from bioproducer plants and peats sampled from a deposit on spurs of the Vasyugan Swamp. Analysis of antioxidants (AOs) is performed via the gasometric method using a model reaction initiated by cymene oxidation.

Vegetation and peat characteristics of restiad bogs on Chatham Island (Rekohu), New Zealand [PDF]

, 2004
Restiad bogs dominated by Sporadanthus traversii on Chatham Island, New Zealand, were sampled to correlate vegetation patterns and peat properties, and to compare with restiad systems dominated by Sporadanthus ferrugineus and Empodisma minus in the ...

Geochronology of the Whittlesey sedimentary succession, eastern England: The ‘Pompeii’ of the British late Middle Pleistocene to Holocene record

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The sedimentary succession at Whittlesey preserves a unique British late Middle Pleistocene to Holocene record back to a time equivalent to at least marine oxygen isotope stage 8 (ca. 250 ka). This study builds on previously published sedimentology, geochronology and palaeoecology results to establish 20 sedimentary facies associations, with ...

Holocene climate oscillations, seismotectonic events and human–environmental interactions reconstructed from the Giannades palaeolake on Corfu (Eastern Mediterranean, Greece)

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Mediterranean is particularly sensitive to rapid climate changes (RCCs) during the Holocene. An increasing number of natural climate archives revealed that socio‐economic developments were influenced by such RCCs since the Palaeolithic. However, multi‐millennial and high‐resolution archives are still rare and often located in mountainous ...
