Temporal and spatial relationships in fine particle strong acidity, sulphate, PM1O, and PM2.5 across multiple canadian locations

The Canadian Acid Aerosol Measurement Program (CAAMP) was established in 1992 to gain a better understanding of the atmospheric behaviour of fine particle strong acidity (“acid aerosols”) and to facilitate an assessment of the potential health risks associated with acid aerosols and particles in general. During 1992. 1993 and 1994, annular denuder and filter measurements were taken at four sites in Ontario, two in Quebec, three in the Atlantic Provinces and one in the greater Vancouver area. Mean fine particle sulphate concentrations (SO₄²⁻) were highest in southern Ontario (annual average ranged from 40–70 nmol m⁻³), lowest at a site in the Vancouver area (average = 16 nmol m⁻³) and second lowest in rural Nova Scotia. However, mean fine particle strong acid concentrations (H⁺) were geographically different. The highest mean concentrations were at the east coast sites (annual average of up to 30 nmol m⁻³). Acidities were lower in areas where the fine particle acidity experienced greater neutralization from reaction with ammonia. This included the major urban centres (i.e. Toronto and Montréal) and areas with greater amounts of agricultural activity, as in rural southern Ontario. On average, ambient concentrations of fine and coarse particle mass were larger in the urban areas and also in areas where SO₄²⁻ levels were higher. All the particle components were episodic. However, compared to SO₄²⁻ and fine particles (PM_2.5 or PM_2.1, depending upon inlet design), episodes of H⁺ tended to be less frequent and of shorter duration, particularly in Ontario. Saint John, New Brunswick, had the highest mean annual H⁺ concentration, which was 30 nmol m⁻³. H⁺ episodes (24 h concentration > 100 nmol m⁻³) were also the most frequent at this location. The high levels in Saint John were partially due to local sulphur dioxide sources and heterogeneous chemistry occurring in fog, which, on average, led to a 50% enhancement in sulphate, relative to upwind conditions.There was a substantial amount of intersite correlation in the day to day variations in H⁺, SO₄²⁻ , PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ (fine + coarse particles) concentrations, which is due to the influence of synoptic-scale meteorology and the relatively long atmospheric lifetime of fine particles. Sulphate was the most regionally homogenous species. Pearson correlation coefficients comparing SO₄²⁻ between sites ranged from 0.6 to 0.9, depending on site separation and lag time. In many cases, particle episodes were observed to move across the entire eastern portion of Canada with about a two-day lag between the SO₄²⁻ levels in southern Ontario and in southern Nova Scotia.     

生物可降解螯合剂[S,S]-乙二胺二琥珀酸和乳酸乙酯提取土壤中重金属的研究

研究了生物可降解的有机螯合剂[S,S]-乙二胺二琥珀酸([S,S]-EDDS,简写为EDDS)和乳酸乙酯(EL)对重金属污染土壤中重金属的提取效率,并用X射线衍射(XRD)和红外光谱(FT-IR)分析了螯合剂提取对土壤理化性质的影响.结果表明:EDDS对土壤中的Cd、Cu、Pb和Zn有较高的提取率,效果比EL好;EDDS和EL混合提取的重金属提取率增加,但相比单独使用EDDS没有超过10%.FT-IR分析表明,提取前后FT-IR谱图中特征吸收频率没有显著改变,但强度有所改变.XRD分析表明,提取前后土壤晶格结构发生明显的变化,螯合剂提取改变了土壤微观结构.

Synchronous-scan fluorescence spectra of Chlorella vulgaris solution

The characterization of the Chlorella vulgaris solution was carried out using synchronous-scan spectroscopy. The range of concentration of algae and Fe(III) in aqueous solutions were 5 × 10⁸–8 × 10⁹ cells l⁻¹ and 10–60 μM, respectively. Effective characterization method used was synchronous-scan fluorescence spectroscopy. The wavelength difference (Δλ) of 90 nm was maintained between excitation and emission wavelengths; 90 nm was found to be the best Δλ for effective characterization of Chlorella vulgaris solution with or without quencher species (e.g., Fe(III), humic acid (HA)) for the first time. The peak was observed at about EX 236.6 nm/EM 326.6 nm for synchronous-scan fluorescence spectra. The fluorescence quenching of algae in system of algae–Fe(III)–HA was studied using synchronous-scan spectroscopy for the first time. Fe(III) was clearly the effective quencher. The relationship between I₀/I (quenching efficiency) and c (concentration of Fe(III) added) was a linear correlation for the algae solution with Fe(III). Also, Aldrich humic acid was found to be an effective quencher. pH effect on synchronous-scan fluorescence intensity of algal solution with Fe(III) and/or HA was evident.

采用城市污水处理厂的活性污泥做菌源,在实验室条件下研究了对苯二甲酸(TA)和乙二醇(EG)的好氧生物降解性能,着重考察了EG对TA好氧生物降解性能的影响.试验结果表明,微生物以TA、EG作为惟一的碳源需要一定的驯化时间,EG作为惟一碳源的驯化时间比TA的驯化时间长.但微生物一旦被驯化,EG比TA具有较快的降解速度,当TA为1100mg/L时,其平均降解速率为27.5 mg COD/g MLSS·h,而EG为1200mg/L时,其平均降解速率达到36.7 mg COD/g MLSS·h.在相同污泥负荷条件下,TA降解的滞后期受TA浓度影响不大,TA的好氧降解不存在明显的抑制浓度.EG不会抑制TA的初级生物降解,但会抑制TA的最终生物降解.
