Mn/USY分子筛催化剂低温SCR脱硝性能

以USY分子筛为载体,采用等体积浸渍法制备了不同Mn负载量的Mn/USY催化剂。借助BET、XRD、SEM和FTIR等手段,考察了催化剂的物相结构及脱硝活性。在90~210℃温度范围内,随着反应温度的升高,NO转化率逐渐提高,脱硝效率在210℃达到50%以上,其中10 Mn/USY的NO转化率高于其他几组催化剂。通过SEM和BET结果可以看出,Mn/USY分子筛催化剂的比表面积随着Mn负载量的增加而减少。新鲜的催化剂颗粒分散均匀,呈松散的堆叠状态,H_2O和SO_2实验后催化剂分散程度降低,比表面积、孔径和孔体积都有所下降。XRD结果表明,10 Mn/USY催化剂中MnO_2的晶体特征峰最为明显,除此之外没有发现其他Mn或MnO_x衍射峰。FT-IR分析结果表明金属Mn的负载并未对USY分子筛的内部结构造成破坏。     

制备条件对锰氧化物SCR脱硝性能的影响

分别考察不同沉淀剂、溶液pH、煅烧温度和煅烧时间对制备Mn Ox催化剂及其低温SCR脱除NO性能的影响,并借助XRD和BET等表征手段分析各催化剂的物相和孔隙特性。结果表明,不同沉淀剂制备的Mn Ox催化剂的低温活性依次为:Mn Ox(Na2CO3)Mn Ox((NH4)2CO3)Mn Ox(Na OH)Mn Ox(NH4OH)。表征结果表明,Mn Ox(Na2CO3)和Mn Ox((NH4)2CO3)催化剂之所以表现出突出的低温SCR活性,归因于混合氧化态的无定型结构和较大的比表面积。优选Na2CO3沉淀剂制备Mn Ox催化剂,最佳的煅烧温度和时间分别为350℃和6 h,而溶液pH对制备的Mn Ox催化剂的催化还原NO活性影响不明显。     

活性氧化铝负载DBU吸附CO2

为了减少燃煤电厂烟气CO2排放,对浸渍法制备的活性氧化铝(Al2O3)负载1,8-二氮杂二环[5,4,0]十一碳-7-烯(DBU)吸附剂及其固定床吸附CO2性能进行了研究,采用全自动气体吸附分析仪和同步热重分析仪对吸附剂比表面积、总孔容、平均孔径和热稳定性进行了表征。实验结果表明,Al2O3负载DBU吸附剂具有较大的比表面积和发达的孔隙结构,在低于140℃时具有良好的热稳定性;在室温条件下,DBU负载率为11.75%时,吸附剂对CO2吸附量最高可达18.11mg/g;经过8次吸附-脱附循环实验后,吸附剂仍保持较好的CO2吸附性能。     

不同晶型MnOx催化还原NO活性研究

为研究低温烟气脱硝的高效选择性催化还原(SCR)催化剂的催化活性,采用湿式浸渍法制备了以γ-Al_2O_3为载体、以MnO_x为活性组分的系列MnO_x/γ-Al_2O_3催化剂。采用X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、BET多分子层吸附模型等测试方法对催化剂进行表征,分析Mn负载量对MnO_x晶型、形貌及催化剂比表面积的影响,并进行催化还原NO实验,通过脱硝效率反映不同MnO_x晶型时催化剂的脱硝特性。结果表明,Mn负载量对MnO_x的晶型和形貌产生明显影响。Mn负载量低于0.4mmol/g时,无法形成明显晶核;Mn负载量为0.8mmol/g时,形成球状_β-MnO_2;Mn负载量为1.2mmol/g时,形成棒状α-MnO_2。球状_β-MnO_2提高了MnO_x/γ-Al_2O_3比表面积,含球状_β-MnO_2的MnO_x/γ-Al_2O_3催化剂具有最优的催化还原NO活性,175℃条件下达到84%左右的脱硝效率。H_2O(气态,下同)和SO~3 _2的存在对催化剂脱硝性能产生影响,分别持续通入600mg/mSO_2、6.000%(体积分数)H_2O 480min,脱硝效率分别下降约14百分点和10百分点。     

Mn、Ce掺杂改性γ-Al_2O_3催化剂对燃煤烟气Hg~0去除性能研究

以γ-Al_2O_3为掺杂,通过掺杂Mn、Ce活性物质制备复合催化剂去除模拟烟气中的Hg0,考察了Mn和Ce负载量、催化剂制备煅烧温度、反应温度以及模拟烟气中O_2和SO_2体积分数对于Hg0去除率的影响。结果表明,负载Mn、Ce活性组分后,复合催化剂对燃煤烟气Hg~0的去除率明显高于γ-Al_2O_3。当Mn、Ce负载量分别为0.10、0.02时(以Mn、Ce与Al的摩尔比计)时,制得的催化剂Mn0.10-Ce0.02/γ-Al_2O_3活性最好,催化剂最佳煅烧温度为400℃,最佳反应温度为150℃。常规燃煤烟气条件下的O_2体积分数能够满足Hg~0的有效氧化,烟气中的SO_2会严重抑制Hg~0的氧化。     

WO3-MnOx/TiO2-ZrO2催化剂脱汞性能研究

在溶胶-凝胶法制备MnO_x/TiO_2-ZrO_2催化剂的基础上采用分步浸渍法制备WO_3-MnO_x/TiO_2-ZrO_2系列催化剂,通过BET比表面积检测法、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、X射线衍射(XRD)、氢气程序升温还原(H_2-TPR)等表征手段对该催化剂微观结构及氧化还原性能进行了相关的表征检测,并通过气固催化床对催化剂氧化脱除Hg~0的性能进行了检测。结果表明,在WO_3、MnO_x负载量分别为7%(质量分数,下同)、5%和TiO_2与ZrO_2摩尔比2∶1的条件下,制备的催化剂比表面积、孔容分别达到161.73m~2/g、0.031 7mL/g,该结构有利于Hg~0吸附,同时无定形MnO_2及Mn_2O_3的负载提升了催化剂的氧化性能,相对于MnO_x/TiO_2-ZrO_2催化剂在200～400℃具有较高的脱汞效率,在SO_2质量浓度小于1 200mg/m~3时,其抗H_2O、抗SO_2性较好。     

γ-Al2O3负载金属氧化物热催化分解沙林毒剂模拟剂

为了考察负载型金属氧化物催化剂对毒剂的热催化分解性能,以γ-Al_2O_3为载体,金属氧化物(Mn、Ni、Fe、Co、Cu和Ce)为活性组分,采用等体积浸渍法制备了负载型金属氧化物催化剂,对沙林毒剂模拟剂——甲基膦酸二甲酯(DMMP)进行了热催化分解评价实验,分别研究了不同反应温度、空速条件下热催化分解性能的变化规律。结果表明,在几种负载型金属氧化物催化剂中,CuO/γ-Al_2O_3表现出了最佳的防护性能。通过调控CuO负载量(1%～20%),发现5%CuO/γ-Al_2O_3具有较高的分散度和比表面积,热催化分解性能最好。磷物种的沉积造成催化剂比表面积的降低和晶体结构的破坏,是催化剂活性下降的主要原因。     

滤料负载粉尘层对气态汞脱除性能的实验研究

通过不同性能纤维滤料负载燃煤飞灰粉尘层,来模拟袋式除尘器滤袋表面粉尘附着层,进而研究袋滤器用不同性能纤维滤料和粉尘附着层对燃煤烟气中Hg0的联合脱除性能。在固定床实验系统上分别进行了不同纤维滤料和燃煤飞灰粉尘层,以及经实验优选得到的华博特滤料负载燃煤飞灰粉尘层脱除燃煤烟气中Hg0的实验研究。结果表明,燃煤飞灰粉尘层和华博特滤料对Hg0分别有一定的脱除作用,脱除效率可达35%和42.5%,它们对Hg0的脱除是物理吸附和化学吸附共同作用的结果;同时,华博特滤料负载燃煤飞灰粉尘层对Hg0的联合脱除效率受到吸附反应温度、入口汞浓度和烟气停留时间等因素的影响,最佳脱汞率可达64.4%;吸附反应温度越高,脱除效率越低;烟气停留时间越大,脱除效率越高;入口汞浓度的提高并不一定提高华博特滤料负载飞灰粉尘层的脱汞效果。     

Worm-like分子筛负载磷钨酸催化剂的制备及光降解甲基橙的性能研究

以Worm-like分子筛为载体,采用浸渍法制备不同磷钨酸负载量的负载型催化剂,并采用傅里叶红外光谱(FT-IR)、X射线衍射(XRD)和N2吸附/脱附等手段对负载型磷钨酸催化剂进行表征。结果表明,磷钨酸成功负载在Worm-like分子筛上,且随着磷钨酸负载量的增加,FT-IR、XRD和N2吸附/脱附结果呈规律性变化。将该系列催化剂用于光催化降解甲基橙实验,结果表明,甲基橙质量浓度为20mg/L,磷钨酸负载量为70%(质量分数)时,甲基橙降解率为87.2%;回收催化剂并重复使用3次,甲基橙降解率仍达75%以上。     

腐殖酸对生物炭吸附水环境中雌激素的影响

以玉米秸秆为原料,通过500℃限氧裂解制备生物炭(记为500BC),并采用批量吸附实验对比500BC及腐殖酸负载后生物炭(记为500BC-HA)对于水环境中两种雌激素(双酚A(BPA)和17α-乙炔雌二醇(EE2))的吸附性能及作用机制。结果表明,腐殖酸分子可阻塞部分500BC孔隙,使500BC的孔径、孔容及比表面积下降,负载腐殖酸后,500BC的比表面积由8.43m~2/g减小至4.40m~2/g,孔径从26.1nm减小至3.2nm,孔容由0.018cm~3/g下降至0.001cm~3/g;与500BC相比,500BC-HA对BPA、EE2的吸附能力均明显降低,一方面是因为腐殖酸分子占据了500BC表面的吸附点位并堵塞部分孔隙,使其吸附能力降低,另一方面腐殖酸负载后引入更多的含氧官能团,使500BC表面疏水性降低,与雌激素间的疏水作用减弱。腐殖酸负载质量浓度为0～10mg/L时,增加负载质量浓度对500BC吸附性能影响明显,当负载质量浓度大于10mg/L时,腐殖酸在500BC表面达到饱和,继续增加负载浓度对500BC的吸附性能不再产生影响。     

Chloroaromatic pollutants in mussels incubated in two finnish watercourses polluted by industry

Concentrations of different chlorinated compounds were measured in mussels incubated in two polluted watercourses, a river (the River Kymijoki) and a lake (Lake Vanaja) for four weeks in summer 1995. The sum concentrations of polychlorinated phenols (PCP) and biphenyls (PCB) were both about 1 μg/g lipid weight (lw) in Lake Vanaja mussels, while in the River Kymijoki mussels PCPs were non-detectable and PCBs were measured 120 ng/g lIw. The concentrations of toxic polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (PCDD) and dibenzofuran (PCDF) congeners ranged between <17 and 370 pg/g Iw in Lake Vanaja mussels and between <38 and 11,000 pg/g lw in the River Kymijoki mussels. Polychlorinated diphenyl ethers (PCDE) were detected in the mussels incubated in the River Kymijoki (0.4–1.1 ng/g Iw), but not in those incubated in Lake Vanaja. Polychlorinated phenoxyanisoles (PCPA) were measured 33 ng/g lw and polychlorinated phenoxyphenols (PCPP) 300 ng/g lw in the mussels incubated in the River Kymijoki. PCPAs were also detected in reference samples, which were sediment and pike from the River Kymijoki and Baltic salmon, seal and white-tailed sea eagle.     

Radionuclides and trace elements in fish collected upstream and downstream of Los Alamos national laboratory and the doses to humans from the consumption of muscle and bone

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine radionuclide and trace element concentrations in bottom‐feeding fish (catfish, carp, and suckers) collected from the confluences of some of the major canyons that cross Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) lands with the Rio Grande (RG) and the potential radiological doses from the ingestion of these fish. Samples of muscle and bone (and viscera in some cases) were analyzed for ³H, ⁹⁰Sr, ¹³⁷Cs, ^totU, ²³⁸Pu, ^239,240Pu, and ²⁴¹Am and Ag, As, Ba, Be, Cr, Cd, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, and Tl. Most radionuclides, with the exception of ⁹⁰Sr, in the muscle plus bone portions of fish collected from LANL canyons/RG were not significantly (p<0.05) higher from fish collected upstream (San Ildefonso/background) of LANL. Strontium‐90 in fish muscle plus bone tissue significantly (p<0.05) increases in concentration starting from Los Alamos Canyon, the most upstream confluence (fish contained 3.4E‐02 pCi g^‐1 [126E‐02 Bq kg^‐1]), to Frijoles Canyon, the most downstream confluence (fish contained 14E‐02 pCi g^‐1 [518E‐02 Bq kg^‐1]). The differences in ⁹⁰Sr concentrations in fish collected downstream and upstream (background) of LANL, however, were very small. Based on the average concentrations (±2SD) of radionuclides in fish tissue from the four LANL confluences, the committed effective dose equivalent from the ingestion of 46 lb (21 kg) (maximum ingestion rate per person per year) of fish muscle plus bone, after the subtraction of background, was 0.1 ± 0.1 mrem y^‐1 (1.0 ± 1.0 μSv y^‐1), and was far below the International Commission on Radiological Protection (all pathway) permissible dose limit of 100 mrem y^‐1 (1000 μSv y^‐1). Of the trace elements that were found above the limits of detection (Ba, Cu, and Hg) in fish muscle collected from the confluences of canyons that cross LANL and the RG, none were in significantly higher (p<0.05) concentrations than in muscle of fish collected from background locations.

Patterns of volatile metabolites and nonvolatile trichothecenes produced by isolates of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Stachybotrys,Fusarium, Trichoderma,Trichothecium</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Memnoniella</Emphasis>

We reported previously that trichodiene, a volatile trichothecene derivative, was produced by a Stachybotrys isolate, also known to produce highly cytotoxic, non-volatile, macrocyclic trichothecenes (satrotoxins). We investigated the relationship between the production of trichodiene and various non-volatile trichothecenes for several molds. Volatile metabolites were concentrated by adsorption on Tenax TA and analyzed by GC/MS, while non-volatile metabolites were separated by HPLC, derivatized and analyzed by GC/MS. Stachybotrys chartarum isolates producing macrocyclic trichothecenes secreted significantly larger amounts of trichodiene and other sesquiterpenes than isolates which only produced simple trichothecenes. The amounts of secreted trichodiene were relatively small in all cases. With the exception of Memnoniella, which excreted small amounts of sesquiterpenes, the other isolates produced varying amounts of sesquiterpenes, including trichodiene, as well as simple tricothecenes, no detectable trichodiene, but large amounts of griseofulvin derivatives. In Stachybotrys there is apparently a correlation between trichodiene and macrocyclic trichothecene production. In the remaining isolates, there was no simple relationship between trichodiene and non-volatile trichothecene synthesis. Trichodiene is produced in larger amounts by Stachybotrys isolates, which also produce satratoxins, but it will be difficult to utilize this metabolite to detect toxic isolates in buildings due to the relatively small amounts excreted.     

Observations on the influence of water and soil pH on the persistence of insecticides

Abstract

The pH‐disappearance rate profiles were determined at ca. 25°C for 24 insecticides at 4 or 5 pH values over the range 4.5 to 8.0 in sterile phosphate buffers prepared in water‐ethanol (99: 1 v/v). Half‐lives measured at pH 8 were generally smaller than at lower pH values. Changes in half lives between pH 8.0 and 4.5 were largest (>1000x) for the aryl carbamates, carbofuran and carbaryl, the oxime carbamate, oxamyl, and the organophosphorus insecticide, trichlorfon. In contrast, half lives of phorate, terbufos, heptachlor, fensulfothion and aldicarb were affected only slightly by pH changes. Under the experimental conditions described half lives at pH8 varied from 1–2 days for trichlorfon and oxamyl to >1 year for fensulfothion and cyper‐methrin. Insecticide persistence on alumina (acid, neutral and basic), mineral soils amended with aluminum sulfate or calcium hydroxide to different pH values and four natural soils of different pH was examined. No correlation was observed between the measured pH of these solids and the rate of disappearance of selected insecticides applied to them. These observations demonstrate the difficulty of extrapolating the pH dependent disappearance behaviour observed in homogeneous solution to partially solid heterogeneous systems such as soil.     

The chemical stability of formulations of some hydrolyzable insecticides in aqueous mixtures with hydrolysis catalysts

Abstract

The active ingredients in commercial formulations of malathion, oxamyl, carbaryl, diazinon, and chlorpyrifos diluted to “spray tank”; concentrations with buffered distilled or natural water of pH 4–9 were stable for at least 24 hr. Formulations of trichlorfon were not stable at pH 7 or above but disappearance rates were slower than for the pure chemical in homogeneous solution. Cupric ion was observed to be an effective catalyst for the hydrolysis of a variety of pure organophosphorus insecticides but did not catalyze hydrolysis of the active ingredients of the formulations examined. Increasing the dilution of the formulation increased the susceptibility of malathion, oxamyl, and carbaryl to hydrolysis.     

Organochlorine compounds in a three-step terrestrial food chain

The concentrations of 15 organochlorine chemicals (PCBs and pesticides) were studied in a Central European oak wood food chain system: Great tit (Parus major), caterpillars (Tortrix viridana, Operophtera brumata, Erannis defoliaria), and oak-leaves (Quercus robur). Juvenile tits receive organochlorines from the mother via egg transfer and, eventually to a greater extent, from the caterpillar food source during nestling period. The concentrations of PCB 153 (2,2′,4,4′,5,5′-hexachlorobiphenyl, the most abundant in this study) was found in leaf material at ca. 1 ng/g, in caterpillars 10 ng/g, and in bird eggs 170 ng/g on an average and on a dry mass basis.     

Radionuclides in deer and elk from Los Alamos national laboratory and the doses to humans from the ingestion of muscle and bone

Abstract

This paper summarizes radionuclide concentrations (³H, ⁹⁰Sr, ¹³⁷Cs, ²³⁸Pu, ^239,240Pu, ²⁴¹Am, and ^totU) in muscle and bone tissue of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) and Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus) collected from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, New Mexico, lands from 1991 through 1998. Also, the committed effective dose equivalent (CEDE) and the risk of excess cancer fatalities (RECF) to people who ingest muscle and bone from deer and elk collected from LANL lands were estimated. Most radionuclide concentrations in muscle and bone from individual deer (n = 11) and elk (n = 22) collected from LANL lands were either at less than detectable quantities (where the analytical result was smaller than two counting uncertainties) and/or within upper (95%) level background (BG) concentrations. As a group, most radionuclides in muscle and bone of deer and elk from LANL lands were not significantly higher (p<0.10) than in similar tissues from deer (n = 3) and elk (n = 7) collected from BG locations. Also, elk that had been radio collared and tracked for two years and spent an average time of 50% on LANL lands were not significantly different in most radionuclides from road kill elk that have been collected as part of the environmental surveillance program. Overall, the upper (95%) level net CEDEs (the CEDE plus two sigma for each radioisotope minus background) at the most conservative ingestion rate (50 lbs of muscle and 13 lbs of bone) were as follows: deer muscle = 0.22 mrem y^‐1 (2.2 μSv y^‐1), deer bone = 3.8 mrem y^‐1 (38 μSv y^‐1), elk muscle = 0.12 mrem y^‐1 (1.2 μSv y^‐1), and elk bone = 1.7 mrem y^‐1 (17 μSv y^‐1). All CEDEs were far below the International Commission on Radiological Protection guideline of 100 mrem y^‐1 (1000 μSv y^‐1), and the highest muscle plus bone net CEDE corresponded to a RECF of 2E‐06, which is far below the Environmental Protection Agency upper level guideline of 1E‐04.     

Radionuclides in pinon pine (Pinus edulis) nuts from los alamos national laboratory lands and the dose from consumption

Abstract

One of the dominant tree species growing within and around the eastern portion of Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, NM, lands is the pinon pine (Pinus edulis). Pinon pine is used for firewood, fence posts, and building materials and is a source of nuts for food—the seeds are consumed by a wide variety of animals and are also gathered by people in the area and eaten raw or roasted. This study investigated the (1) concentration of ³H, ¹³⁷Cs, ⁹⁰Sr, ^totU, ²³⁸Pu, ^{239, 240}Pu, and²⁴¹ Am in soils (0‐ to 12‐in. [31 cm] depth underneath the tree), pinon pine shoots (PPS), and pinon pine nuts (PPN) collected from LANL lands and regional background (BG) locations, (2) committed effective dose equivalent (CEDE) from the ingestion of nuts, and (3) soil to PPS to PPN concentration ratios (CRs). Most radionuclides, with the exception of ³H in soils, were not significantly higher (p < 0.10) in soils, PPS, and PPN collected from LANL as compared to BG locations, and concentrations of most radionuclides in PPN from LANL have decreased over time. The maximum net CEDE (the CEDE plus two sigma minus BG) at the most conservative ingestion rate (10 lb [4.5 kg]) was 0.0018 mrem (0.018 μSv); this is far below the International Commission on Radiological Protection (all pathway) permissible dose limit of 100 mrem (1000 μSv). Soil‐to‐nut CRs for most radionuclides were within the range of default values in the literature for common fruits and vegetables.     

Degradation and sorption of imidacloprid in dissimilar surface and subsurface soils

Degradation and sorption/desorption are important processes affecting the leaching of pesticides through soil. This research characterized the degradation and sorption of imidacloprid (1-[(6-chloro-3-pyridinyl)-methyl]-N-nitro-2-imidazolidinimine) in Drummer (silty clay loam) and Exeter (sandy loam) surface soils and their corresponding subsurface soils using sequential extraction methods over 400 days. By the end of the incubation, approximately 55% of imidacloprid applied at a rate of 1.0 mg kg^?1 degraded in the Exeter sandy loam surface and subsurface soils, compared to 40% of applied imidacloprid within 300 days in Drummer surface and subsurface soils. At the 0.1 mg kg^?1 application rate, dissipation was slower for all four soils. Water-extractable imidacloprid in Exeter surface soil decreased from 98% of applied at day 1 to > 70% of the imidacloprid remaining after 400 d, as compared to 55% in the Drummer surface soil at day 1 and 12% at day 400. These data suggest that imidacloprid was bioavailable to degrading soil microorganisms and sorption/desorption was not the limiting factor for biodegradation. In subsurface soils > 40% of ¹⁴C-benzoic acid was mineralized over 21 days, demonstrating an active microbial community. In contrast, cumulative ¹⁴CO₂ was less than 1.5% of applied ¹⁴C-imidacloprid in all soils over 400 d. Qualitative differences in the microbial communities appear to limit the degradation of imidacloprid in the subsurface soils.
