Distribution Characteristics And Formation Mechanism Of High Salinity Groundwater In Northeast Ningdong Coalfield, Jin Dewu, Wang Tiantian, Zhao Baofeng, Li Debin, Zhou Zhenfang, Shang Hongbo

Coal Geology & Exploration

High salinity groundwater is widely and unevenly distributed in northeast Ningdong Coalfield of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, and it varies greatly throughout the coalfield. This paper studies the distribution characteristics and formation mechanism of high salinity groundwater. Firstly, spatial distribution characteristics of high salinity groundwater was researched, and then, Piper trilinear graph, Gibbs graph and ion proportionality coefficient were used to investigate the formation mechanism of high salinity groundwater. The results show that groundwater salinity value varies from 0.30 g/L to 23.56 g/L, and the average value is 5.84 g/L. The proportions of fresh water, brackish water, salt water and …


Fate And Transport Of Toxoplasma Gondii Oocysts In Saturated Porous Media: Effects Of Electrolytes And Natural Organic Matter, Christian Pullano May 2022

Fate And Transport Of Toxoplasma Gondii Oocysts In Saturated Porous Media: Effects Of Electrolytes And Natural Organic Matter, Christian Pullano

All Theses

Toxoplasma gondii is a pathogenic microorganism that is currently a threat to public health. Understanding the fate and transport of T. gondii through the soil and groundwater is vital in determining the risk it poses to water resources and human health. The physico-chemical interactions between the groundwater and the bio colloid within an aquifer will dictate its mobility and its ability to infect humans. This research examines how various naturally occurring groundwater chemistries containing organic compounds and monovalent and divalent salt solutions will alter the fate and transport of T. gondii. Solutions containing various concentrations of humic acid, fulvic …
