The volume and porosity of aggregates decreased with increasing mineral concentrations, and at suspended mineral concentrations higher than 500 μg L −1 the initially medium-sized aggregates were fragmented into thousands of tiny, dense aggregates. Because radius and density have opposite effects on aggregate sinking rates, the relationship ...

Rocks such as granite, which are composed mainly of high hardness minerals (high hardness mineral content>80-90), have strong ballast performance. High hardness minerals include quartz ...

''ballast'' model to the ratio of organic carbon to calcium carbonate in the deep sea (the rain ratio). We distinguished three forms of mineral ballast: calcium carbonate, opal, and lithogenic material. We concur with Armstrong et al. [2002] that organic carbon sinking fluxes correlate tightly with mineral fluxes. Based on the correlations

To address whether the incorporation of suspended minerals drives the sedimentation of particulate organic carbon in the ocean or vice versa, incubations of phytoplankton‐detritus aggregates were set up in rolling tanks containing seawater and suspended clay (illite) or calcium carbonate at concentrations ranging between 10 and 50,000 μg L−1. The …

Abstract. Data obtained from long-term sediment trap experiments in the Indian Ocean in conjunction with satellite observations illustrate the influence of primary production and the ballast effect on organic carbon flux into the deep sea. They suggest that primary production is the main control on the spatial variability of organic carbon fluxes at most …

In addition, the formation of calcium mineral polymers has been seen in spontaneously assembling marine gels [Chin et al., 1998]. Prefiguring the ballast hypothesis, [Chin et al., 1998] postulated that such calcite could increase the sinking velocities of aggregates formed in this manner. If significant amounts of calcite do form within ...

The ballasting mineral particles are thought to increase the density of POC and protect it from microbial degradation and, thus, influence the POC transport through the water column. In a contradictory view, sinking POC scavenges suspended mineral particles until their carrying capacity is reached (Passow 2004; Passow and De La Rocha 2006). In ...

To address whether the incorporation of suspended minerals drives the sedimentation of particulate organic carbon in the ocean or vice versa, incubations of phytoplankton-detritus aggregates were set up in rolling tanks containing seawater and suspended clay (illite) or calcium carbonate at concentrations ranging between 10 and 50,000 μg L …

[1] We determined particulate organic carbon (POC) and mineral ballast (biogenic opal: Opal, CaCO 3, lithogenic material) fluxes and estimated mineral ballast carrying coefficients (CCs) using time-series sediment trap (ST) data from multiple depths in the Western Pacific Subarctic Gyre (WSG).The deep sea POC flux was highly correlated …

We have undertaken a similar analysis of shallow export data from the Arctic, Atlantic, and Southern Oceans. Mineral ballasting is of greatest importance in the high-latitude North Atlantic, where 60% of the POC flux is associated with ballast minerals. This fraction …

The particle remineralization and sinking model (DeVries et al., 2014) is a one-dimensional model that explicitly simulates a complete size spectrum of particles and is expanded here to explore the effects of ballast, temperature, oxygen, and particle size on T EFF.The model is used to compute vertical profiles of particle flux, which is the product of the …

Ballast is generally defined as a volume of graded crushed rocks, however many other materials have been used or developed to serve as ballast [1].It is typically laid in a compacted layer, generally 250–350 mm thick, as shown in Fig. 1.It has the following functions [1], [2], [3]:. Resistance to the sleepers against vertical, longitudinal and lateral …

This incorporation can take place during the formation of aggregates in the surface and subsurface ocean or when aggregates "scavenge" dust particles while sinking (Passow and De La Rocha 2006). Incorporation of ballast minerals into aggregates has been observed to enhance aggregate formation, increase size-specific sinking velocities but ...

Ballasting or de-ballasting is a process by which sea water is taken in and out of the ship when the ship is at the port or at the sea. The sea water carried by the ship is known as ballast water. Ballast or ballast water is sea water carried by a vessel in its ballast tanks to ensure its trim, stability and structural integrity.

It is proposed that POC export will not respond equally across all high-latitude regions to possible future changes in ballast availability, and local discrepancies suggest that …

Ballast Flora is destroyed when the root, which resides inside the original infected pump is destroyed. It can be damaged with Explosives, Flamers, Plasma Cutters, Welding Tools, Prototype Steam Cannons, and Fire, but will defend itself after being attacked by releasing toxic gas which causes Acid Burn, as well as by controlling pumps to pump in more …

I found Arizona Rock and Mineral's various … More ballast and ground coverings to be about the best anywhere. Their graded rock ballast materials gives the scale modeler the ability to create virtually any scene form from fine sand to a very convincing talus slope strewn with rock debris of many sizes, in their choice of color shades.

[1] The oceanic biological carbon pump (BCP), a large (10 GT C yr −1) component of the global carbon cycle, is dominated by the sinking (export) of particulate organic carbon (POC) from surface waters.In the deep ocean, strong correlations between downward fluxes of biominerals and POC (the so-called 'ballast effect') suggest a potential causal …

[1] The ballast parameterization separates sinking organic flux into two parts: the flux associated with ballast minerals and the flux independent of minerals. The ballast parameterization begins to be incorporated into global ocean biogeochemical models. However, parameters used in this parameterization such as those of calcium carbonate …
