Silver nanoparticles were electrodeposited from 0.3 M oxalic acid electrolyte on a pure aluminum working electrode under silver ion concentration-limited condition. A silver wire was held in a glass tube containing 1.0 M KCl solution as the counter electrode. Ion exchange between the glass tube and the main electrodeposition bath through a capillary was driven by the overpotentials as high as 10 V supplied by an electrochemical workstation. Due to the reaction between chlorine anion and silver cation to form AgCl solid at the Ag/AgCl electrode, the silver ion concentration-limited condition holds in the electrolyte. It is found that silver grows at the aluminum working electrode to form nanoparticles with an average size of about 52.4 ± 13.6 nm. With the increasing of the deposition time, the silver nanoparticles aggregate into clusters. The silver particle clusters are separated with approximately 112.6 ± 19.7 nm due to the hydrogen bubble-induced self-assembling, which is shown by the confined deposition of silver on a gold coating. The surface roughness of the aluminum substrate leads to the reduced uniformity of silver nanoparticle nucleation and growth.

A stratified-random selection of all lakes in the northeastern United States was sampled for zooplankton composition, and physical and chemical characteristics during midsummer 1986. In all, 146 lakes were sampled from five geographic subregions and three categories of water alkalinity. There was no significant variation in total zooplankton abundance among regions or alkalinity categories; however, the body-size structure of assemblages was dependent on both alkalinity and geographic subregion. The largest change in size structure occurred at alkalinity levels > 150 μeq∙L−1 and pH > 7.0, and appeared less related to change in pH than to variation in water hardness. This shift of size structure was caused by a loss of large-bodied zooplankton and an increase in small rotifers with decreasing water hardness. Exploratory analysis revealed that lake stratification also explained significant variation in zooplankton size structure, but was largely independent of the effects of water chemistry. We hypothesize that the association of large zooplankton with hard water is casual; large-bodied cladocerans may require high calcium levels.

The minimal contact time in removal of ammonia ions by ion-exchange with zeolite, Na-form, is determined using the method of differential element. The relationship between the contact time, the water velocity, the effect of removal and the initial ammonia concentration is investigated. The obtained data serve as a basis for mathematical modeling of the ion exchange kinetics and give valuable information about some design parameters of ion-exchange facilities. Some basic analyses, concerning the desorption of ammonia from zeolite, induced mainly from the cations naturally present in surface waters are made. The influence of water velocity and water hardness on such desorption is investigated. These experimental data and analyses are an essential part of a study, the purpose of which is to investigate the possibilities for ammonia removal and biological regeneration of zeolite in a combined facility, using the processes: ion-exchange, desorption induced by small concentrations of cations and biological nitrification.
