Characteristics of emissive spectrum and the removal of nitric oxide in N2/O2/NO plasma with argon additive

Although the approach using non-thermal plasma (NTP) for deNOx has been studied for over 15 years, how to achieve higher removal e ciency with lower cost is still a barrier for its industrial application. In order to investigate the impact of the argon additive on electron density, energy and nitric oxide reduction process in plasma, the spectrum of the dielectric barrier discharge at atmospheric pressure in a coaxial reactor was measured using the monochromater with high resolution. The comparative experiments for NO reduction were carried out simultaneously in N2/O2/NO plasma stream with and without argon, respectively. The nitrogen molecular spectrum which is attributed to the energy level transition (C3 u ! B3 g) was compared in the wavelength range 300–480 nm and the electron density and temperature were determined based on the relative intensities and Stark broadening width of spectral lines. The spectrum results indicated that the argon additive could enhance the intensity of emissive spectrum of plasma, thus the electron concentration as well as the energy was increased, and finally prompted the ionization rate to produce active N, O and O3. The results of NO reduction showed that NO conversion e ciency increased in the range of 10%–30% with 5% addition of argon in stream comparing with the condition without argon additive. This study will play a positive role in the industrial application of dielectric barrier discharge deNOx reactor.     

辽河水质中CODMn与TOC的相关关系探讨

高锰酸盐指数（CODMn）常被作为水体受有机物质污染程度的综合指标。总有机碳（TOC）是以碳的含量表示水体中有机物质总量的综合指标,也常被用来评价水体中有机物污染的程度。同样都是作为水体中有机物污染指标,TOC与CODMn具有一定的相关关系。但不同的水体有不同的相关关系,同一水体在不同时期,相关关系也不相同。

Solar photocatalytic decomposition of two azo dyes on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> composites

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/TiO₂ composite photocatalysts with high photoactivity were prepared by sol-gel process and further characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and UV-vis absorption spectra. Compared to pure TiO₂, the combination of MWCNTs with titania could cause a significant absorption shift toward the visible region. The photocatalytic performances of the MWCNTs/TiO₂ composite catalysts were evaluated for the decomposition of Reactive light yellow K-6G (K-6G) and Mordant black 7 (MB 7) azo dyes solution under solar light irradiation. The results showed that the addition of MWCNTs enhanced the adsorption and photocatalytic activity of TiO₂ for the degradation of azo dyes K-6G and MB 7. The effect of MWCNTs content, catalyst dosage, pH, and initial dye concentration were examined as operational parameters. The kinetics of photocatalytic degradation of two dyes was found to follow a pseudo-first-order rate law. The photocatalyst was used for seven cycles with photocatalytic degradation efficiency still higher than 98%. A plausible mechanism is also proposed and discussed on the basis of experimental results.

Concentrations and classification of HCHs and DDTs in soil from the lower reaches of the Jiulong River, China

Soil is an important source to other environmental media and organisms for organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) bioaccumulation. Twenty-four representative surface soil samples were collected from the lower reaches of the Jiulong River, China, in 2009. The concentrations of hexachlorocyclohexane isomers (HCHs) ranged from 0.38 to 39.52 ng·g^?1, with a mean value of 9.51 ng·g^?1. The concentrations of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs) and their metabolites were within the ranges of 0.94–700.99 ng·g^?1, with a mean value of 71.17 ng·g^?1. The concentrations of HCHs and DDTs in the soil were lower than the first grade level (50 ng·g^?1) of the Chinese Environmental Quality Standard (GB15618-1995). Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) and Pearson’s bivariate Correlations Analysis (PCA) were used to analyse the distribution and contamination levels of OCPs in this region. The results showed that DDTs were the major contaminants and there were no significant correlations between various OCPs concentrations and the total organic carbon (TOC) contents. A significant positive correlation was observed between HCHs and DDTs (p<0.01), which indicates that HCHs and DDTs may have similar sources and fate in the study area.

华北典型污灌区有机氯农药残留特征及健康风险评价

在我国华北地区由于水资源的匮乏及农业生产的需要,采用污水灌溉与施用有机氯农药(OCPs)结合的农业管理方式普遍存在。大量OCPs则被引入到当地环境中,进而可能对该地区的居民产生潜在的健康风险。本研究分析石家庄市汪洋沟污灌区OCPs的残留状况,探讨污水灌溉条件下土壤-作物系统OCPs残留对土壤质量影响,并评价经口摄入及皮肤接触两种暴露途径下对人体产生的健康风险。结果表明:汪洋沟污灌区地表水、沉积物、土壤和玉米籽粒中检出了14种OCPs,其平均残留浓度分别为36.5 ng·L~(-1)、62.9 ng·g~(-1)、57.3 ng·g~(-1)和27.0 ng·g~(-1),滴滴涕(DDTs)是其最主要的污染物,占OCPs的73%以上,其次是六六六(HCHs)和甲氧滴滴涕。р,р'-DDT是DDTs的最主要成分,其主要来源于污水灌溉或近期DDTs的使用。γ-HCH是环境HCHs残留的主要成分,其主要来源于林丹的输入和使用。此外,在该地区污灌条件下OCPs残留对土壤中C、N循环及有机S的矿化产生一定的负面影响。研究区OCPs残留对人体产生的非致癌风险和致癌风险均不超过控制标准,但经口摄入所引致的非致癌风险应予以关注,其中р,р'-DDT与γ-HCH为主要风险物质。     

The adsorption of PCBs to Yangtse River sediment

The adsorption of six PCB congeners to natural sediments from the Yangtse River was investigated. Experiments were conducted at different PCB concentrations to get the adsorption isotherm for each compound. Analytical determinations were carried out using gas chromato‐graphy with ECD detector. Results showed that the adsorption mechanism of PCBs on Yangtse River sediment fitted the best to the Langmuir adsorption model. It was also found that the adsorption rate decreased as the solubility increased or the octanol‐water partition coefficient decreased for each compound.
