  • Patent number: 9333382
    Abstract: A plant-microorganism combined method for phhytoremediation of organic contaminated soil; i.e., an ornamental plant (Impatiens balsamina L.)—microorganisms (petroleum hydrocarbon degrading mixed microbes) combined method for enhanced phytoremediation of petroleum contaminated soil is disclosed. The inoculated petroleum degrading mixed microbes can not only degrade contaminants in soil directly but also secretes chemical substances which are helpful to relieve the toxic effects on the Impatiens balsamina L.

The strain was deposited as the number CGMCC-1228 in the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center of the China Committee of Culture Collection for Microorganisms. The strain was obtained by primary screening, re-screening, inoculation, domestication and propagation using the bacteria in the aqueous samples from the strata of oil field as the original screening strain. The strain screened in the invention belongs to the genus Geobacillus, which can tolerate a high temperature, and has good thermostability, which can be applied to the industrial production which need the condition of thermostable enzymes, such as fermentation, etc. With its ability of growing well in the oil-reservoir environment, degrading alkanes, decreasing viscosity and increasing fluidity of crude oil, the strain is able to remarkably enhance the yield of oil and improve the transporting efficiency of oil.

  • Patent number: 6835368
    Abstract: This invention relates to the field of materials of the photorefractive crystal. The composition of these crystals is Li1−xNb1+yO3: Fem, Mn, where M can be magnesium, indium, or zinc; when using q to denote the ion valence of M (q=2 when M is Mg or Zn, and q=3 when M is In), the values of x, y, m, and n are in the range of 0.05≦x≦0.13, 0.00≦y≦0.01, 5.0×10−5≦m≦7.5×10−4, and 0.02≦qn≦0.13. This invention greatly improves the photorefractive properties of LiNbO3 crystals: makes it have a high diffraction efficiency (more than 68%), a fast response speed for photorefraction (an order of magnitude faster than iron doped LiNbO3), and a high resistance to optical scattering (the light intensity threshold to photorefractive fan scattering near two orders of magnitude larger than LiNbO3: Fe). This invention is an excellent three-dimensional optical storage material and has a vast potential market.
