  • Patent number: 11802056
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to water environment governance technology, and particularly discloses an urban river/lake water environment multi-interface governance and restoration method. The method is a multi-interface coordinated governance and restoration method based on “control for bottom, regulation for middle and governance for top”, including: “control for bottom”—controlling the emission of sediment nutritive salts and the dormancy and recovery of algae; “regulation for middle”—regulating primary productivity in a water body to inhibit the recovery of the algae; and “governance for top”—reducing nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients of an air-water interface to control the reproduction and growth of the algae. In the present disclosure, the water body governance and restoration technology based on interface coordination can effectively inhibit the outbreak of cyanobacteria and avoid extreme conditions in the ecosystem.

  • Patent number: 9457388
    Abstract: The present invention involves a persulfate-release material used in the filler of permeable reactive barrier (PRB). This material presents double-layered structure characteristic: inner- and outer-layers are consisted of persulfate, cement, sand and water with different mass ratio. Two different types of moulds are used for the regulation of the shape of the two-layer structures, which guarantees the stability and reproducibility of its structures and properties. During the whole released process, the released rate become more uniform and stable by the use of this material. During the whole service period, the change of the released rate is very slow, and the service lifetime can be 1-10 years. This invention can both reduce the initial released rate and improve the later released rate, and thus the whole released rate can be more uniform, which can be an important method to promote the efficiency of the persulfate toward engineering application.
