Measuring regional trends in ozone

We model maximum daily ozone concentration at a number of sites in Ontario in terms of weather classes, temperature, season and a moving average error term. In an effort to detect a regional trend in the remaining residuals, we develop a method related to principal components which obtains the linear combination of sites with greatest autocorrelation. We apply this method to data from sites in Southern Ontario and conclude that there was a regional trend in ozone during the period 1980–1992. A similar treatment does not find a general trend in temperature data but does reveal a widening gap in temperature between northern and southern sites.     

Critical Reconsideration of Phase Space Embedding and Local Non-Parametric Prediction of Ozone Time Series

Phase space prediction is a feature selection method which triesto exploit non-linear dynamics of an underlying system. We describe and offer a critical reconsideration of this approach,discuss questions of whether non-linear methods are justified by the data, and apply them to ozone time series from single locations. Our main objectives are to obtain air quality forecasts in order to provide public health warnings and to provide an insight into the dynamics of the underlying system.Interestingly, comparable linear data sets (surrogates)have very similar structure and give similar predictionaccuracy to that of the ozone data. In this instance theredoes not appear to be any advantage to applying the phasespace approach to univariate time series.     

臭氧/沸石工艺处理水中硝基苯的效能研究

在连续反应器中,考察了臭氧/沸石工艺在不同条件下去除硝基苯的效果.结果表明,臭氧/沸石工艺对硝基苯的去除效率明显高于单纯臭氧氧化,反应7 min后,硝基苯去除率达到100％,并且该反应符合假一级反应动力学.叔丁醇能抑制臭氧/沸石工艺对硝基苯的去除效率,表明在氧化去除硝基苯过程中羟基自由基起主导作用.增加沸石投量和臭氧浓度均能有效地提高臭氧/沸石工艺对硝基苯的去除效率,并且臭氧/沸石工艺对硝基苯的去除速率与沸石投量之间存在1个最优值,与臭氧浓度呈线性关系.臭氧/沸石工艺对硝基苯的去除速率与初始硝基苯浓度无关.离子强度对臭氧/沸石工艺降解硝基苯的效率影响较大,当离子强度从0增加到1×10^-3　mol/L时,臭氧/沸石工艺对硝基苯的去除率从81.2％降低至31.6％.pH值主要影响臭氧的分解能力,随着溶液pH降低,臭氧/沸石工艺对硝基苯的去除效率逐渐下降.沸石具有较长的使用寿命.     

臭氧/沸石工艺处理水中硝基苯的机理探讨

考察了臭氧在H型沸石上吸附与分解情况,发现臭氧在H型沸石上发生了吸附与分解,并且吸附过程与脱附过程是不可逆的,其脱附速率很快.在吸附分解平衡后,臭氧在H型沸石上的吸附分解量与进水臭氧浓度成正比.而在1×10^-3 mol/L Na⁺存在条件下,被Na⁺交换的H型沸石基本不吸附分解臭氧.考察不同阳离子和不同型号沸石对臭氧/沸石工艺去除硝基苯的影响,发现Ca²⁺的影响最大,另外Na型沸石和NH₄型沸石在降解硝基苯的过程中,硝基苯的去除效率逐渐提高,并且Na型沸石中的Na⁺发生溶出,表明盐析效应影响臭氧扩散进入沸石孔道进行自分解和催化分解的能力.脱铝后的H型沸石没有体现降解硝基苯的效果.最后在pH 3.0时,H型沸石也能吸附分解一部分臭氧,说明H⁺的影响不如其它阳离子.

在开顶式气室（open top chamber, OTC）内,检测了旋转布气法的气体交换效能和对O₃分布的均匀性及稳定性,研究了O₃体积分数升高对水稻(Oryza sativa L.) 光合速率、生物量和产量的原位影响.经实验检测,旋转布气法能使O₃在OTC内分布比较均匀、稳定,满足OTC内布气要求,使气室内外最大温差为1.87℃;同时实验还表明O₃体积分数的升高减少了水稻叶片光合速率、抑制了生物量的累积和降低了水稻的产量.在O₃体积分数为1×10^-7和2×10^-7　暴露下,水稻叶片光合速率分别比对照降低38.6%和53.9%,地上生物量累积速率分别降低8.8%和32.3%,产量分别降低10.1%和53.1%.结果表明,该旋转布气方法性能稳定,可广泛用于大气特定成分变化对近地层生态系统的原位影响研究.     

Decomposition of alachlor by ozonation and its mechanism

Decomposition and corresponding mechanism of alachlor, an endocrine disruptor in water by ozonation were investigated. Results showed that alachlor could not be completely mineralized by ozone alone. Many intermediates and final products were formed during the process, including aromatic compounds, aliphatic carboxylic acids, and inorganic ions. In evoluting these products, some of them with weak polarity were qualitatively identified by GC-MS. The information of inorganic ions suggested that the dechlorination was the first and the fastest step in the ozonation of alachlor.     

Formaldehyde degradation by UV/TiO2/O3process using continuous flow mode

The degradation of formaldehyde gas was studied using UV/TiO2/O3 process under the condition of continuous flow mode. The effects of humidity, initial formaldehyde concentration, residence time and ozone adding amount on degradation of formaldehyde gas were investigated. The experimental results indicated that the combination of ozonation with photocatalytic oxidation on the degradation of formaldehyde showed a synergetic action, e.g,, it could considerably increase decomposing of formaldehyde. The degradation efficiency of formaldehyde was between 73.6% and 79.4% while the initial concentration in the range of 1.84--24 mg/m^3 by O3/TiO2flJV process. The optimal humidity was about 50% in UV/TiO2/O3 processs and degradation of formaldehyde increases from 39.0% to 94.1% when the ozone content increased from 0 to 141 mg/m^3. Furthermore, the kinetics of formaldehyde degradation reaction could be described by Langmuir-Hinshelwood model. The rate constant k of 46.72 mg/（m^3.min） and Langmuir adsorption coefficient K of 0.0268 m^3/mg were obtained.
