The calcined shells were dissolved in hydrochloric acid solution, and then filtered. This sea urchin shell extract was mixed with the artificial phosphorus waste fluid prepared from sodium dihydrogen phosphate. It was then adjusted to pH 7 using sodium hydroxide solution. The obtained precipitate contained the organic coloring material from sea urchin shell calcined at lower temperature. The main component of the precipitate was CaHPO 4 •2H 2 O. This phosphate was changed to Ca 2 P 2 O 7 by heating because of the condensation reaction. The chemical composition, particle shape, and size were not strongly affected by the heating temperature for the pretreatment.","PeriodicalId":15612,"journal":{"name":"Journal of ecotechnology research","volume":"26 1","pages":"107-111"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89563187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Using bulk deposit samplers to evaluate pollutant loads from atmospheric deposition","authors":"Nakazawa Koyomi, Kunimatsu Takao, N. Osamu","doi":"10.11190/JER.15.53","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.11190/JER.15.53","url":null,"abstract":"The aim of this study was to evaluate the number of bulk deposit samplers needed to measure atmospheric deposition of pollutants with an acceptable level of variability. A set of 10 bulk deposit samplers was placed at an experimental site near Lake Biwa in the Shiga Prefecture in Japan, and water samples were collected monthly from each sampler. First, the effects of the intrusion of insects and litter were examined by placing intrusion-prevention devices on the samplers. All measures of variation (coefficient of variation [CV], skewness, and kurtosis) were smaller when the device was used than when it was not. Total nitrogen (TN) loads started to increase in April and peaked in June, with a secondary small peak in February. Levels of dissolved nitrogen, NO3-N, and NH4-N showed similar trends. Total phosphorus (TP) reached a maximum in May, and stayed at a relatively high level until it reached a second peak in August and September. The annual precipitation data obtained from the bulk deposit samplers were normally distributed and had an average and median value of 1570 mm yr-1 (CV, 1.0%). Annual TN loads were also distributed normally, and their average and median values were 12.1 (CV, 2.7%) and 12.0 kg ha-1 yr-1, respectively. Annual TP load, however, apparently deviated from a normal distribution, and the average (0.417 kg ha-1 yr-1; CV, 24%) was larger than median (0.395 kg ha-1 yr-1). At least 8 bulk deposit samplers were needed to obtain TP loads of atmospheric deposition with a CV of less than 5%. The TN loads from the atmosphere to Lake Biwa were estimated to range from 780 to 854 t y-1, whereas the TP load showed a much larger relative range of 20.8 to 42.9 t y-1, indicating that more studies are needed to measure and evaluate the atmospheric deposition of phosphorus.","PeriodicalId":15612,"journal":{"name":"Journal of ecotechnology research","volume":"147 1","pages":"53-58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87176713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study was focused on the effect of water hyacinth cover on water quality and the growth of aquatic microorganism community. We also tested the utilization of water hyacinth as additional food supply for a cage cultured fish. The investigation of the effect of water hyacinth cover on water quality and the growth of aquatic microorganism community was conducted in 2 experimental ponds nearby our laboratory. One pond was treated with water hyacinth, whereas the other was kept intact without water hyacinth, as a control. Water quality in terms of phosphate, nitrate and BOD and also aquatic microorganisms particularly copepod communities were monitored at both ponds prior and after the introduction of water hyacinth. For the purpose of using water hyacinth as additional food supply for cage cultured fish, we established an experimental fish culture in water hyacinth treated and in non water hyacinth treated cages. Fish growth in terms of their weight and length were monitored for 3 months.","PeriodicalId":15612,"journal":{"name":"Journal of ecotechnology research","volume":"135 1","pages":"43-47"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79884997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mitten crabs could pass the dams and weirs when the dams or the stream banks below the dams had a gentle slope and a rough surface; sometimes, stems and leaves attached to the dams and slope faces helped crabs climb. Crabs did not pass the dams when such conditions were not present, even if the slopes were only about 1m high. It was confirmed that mitten crabs would reach the most upstream areas if there was no critical obstacle. In the studied rivers, the presence of many dams and weirs worsened the river environment.","PeriodicalId":15612,"journal":{"name":"Journal of ecotechnology research","volume":"113 1","pages":"121-127"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79859976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
