Patent number: 11975989Abstract: An integrated method for clearance, collection and capture of internal pollutants and algae at the bottom of a lake include the following steps: selecting areas where the pollution level is high, and organic or inorganic particulate matter is prone to accumulation and carrying out trenching operations at the bottom of the lake to form a plurality of traps; and removing the sludge and algae inside the traps and clearing the sediment inside the traps, for subsequent internal pollution control when the surface-layer sludge on both sides of the traps almost fills up the traps. This method makes use of the hydrodynamic disturbances of waves formed by natural wind energy and lake currents to continuously transport sludge with a high pollution level and a small specific gravity and algae in the surface layer of the lake bottom, which are rich in organic debris, to artificially built traps.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2020Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: NANJING INSTITUTE OF GEOGRAPHY & LIMNOLOGY, CHINESE ACADEMY OF SCIENCESInventors: Weiping Hu, Yihui Zhang, Jiancai Deng, Weiwei Xu

Patent number: 11230483Abstract: A method for systematically controlling rapid proliferation of cyanobacteria cells in lakes in spring is described. The method applies physical, biological and chemical methods in an integrated and synergistic manner and includes using flexible enclosures to close a control water area and using modified soil to adsorb and settle algal cells; coupling four technologies including algae control by fish, algae control by biological floating islands, algae inhibition by plants and algae control by microorganisms; and using H2O2 to kW algae and using 40% FeCl3+CaCO3 and 50% Ca(NO3)2 to treat sediment. The method establishes a complete system for physical, chemical and biological control of algae, forms joint control of exogenous contaminants, endogenous contaminants and cyanobacteria, integrates physical, biological and chemical methods and optimizes systematic methods that are used synergistically.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2019Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: NANJING INSTITUTE OF GEOGRAPHY & LIMNOLOGY.

Publication number: 20210024390Abstract: A method for enhancing nitrogen removal by denitrification in a horizontal subsurface-flow constructed wetland, which includes three treatment steps of strain acclimation, strain screening and strain pouring. Firstly, the enrichment of aerobic denitrifying bacteria is achieved through acclimation culture, and the denitrification advantages of the strains are improved to obtain acclimated strains; meanwhile in the present technical solution, after obtained, the acclimated strains are screened for multiple times to remove aging strains and some strains incapable of performing denitrification from sludge and obtain strains truly having good denitrification effects as strains to be poured; and finally the strains to be poured as obtained by the screening is combined with a biocarrier to obtain an immobilized filler and thus prevent the strains from loss.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2020Publication date: January 28, 2021Applicant: Nanjing Institute of Geography and Limnology, Chinese Academy of SciencesInventors: Fan KE, Fei DIAO, Wenchao LI, Jizheng PAN
