Factors affecting the distribution of microplastics in soils of China

● Microplastic (MP) abundance in soil of China was highly heterogeneous. ● MP abundance was higher near large rivers and central land affected by monsoons. ● MP abundance was correlated with longitude, mulching film, and average temperature. ● Factors suitable for predicting MP pollution using models were discussed. Microplastics (MPs) are found worldwide in high abundance, posing a potential threat to ecosystems. Despite the ubiquity of MPs in the environment, very little is known about the regional distribution of MPs and underlying factors affecting this distribution in the field, which likely include human activity, but also features of the environment itself. Here, out of a total of 1157 datapoints investigated in 53 Chinese studies, 9.68% datapoints were removed as outliers in the heterogeneity analysis. This review revealed that the abundance of MPs was highly heterogeneous. In addition, microplastic (MP) distribution maps based on China demonstrated that the highest abundance of MPs tended to occur near large rivers and central land affected by the intersection of two monsoons. The model-fitting and previous studies showed that MP abundance in China was correlated with longitude, agricultural mulching film usage per capita, temperature, and precipitation. However, due to the heterogeneity of MPs and the low matching degree between the current environmental data and the sampling points, this pattern was not as evident as reported in any single study. Factors affecting the distribution of MPs can not be captured by linear relationships alone, and systematic selection of suitable environmental factors and further model optimization are needed to explore the cause of MP pollution in soil. Overall, this review revealed an uneven distribution of MPs and serves as a reference for model prediction to assess and control plastic pollution in natural soil environments.     

活性炭纤维三维电极电催化降解水中间甲酚——效能及影响因素研究

探讨了以活性炭纤维作为三维粒子电极电氧化降解水中间甲酚的可行性与效果.首先对活性炭纤维的表面形貌,比表面积,孔结构和表面官能团情况进行了表征,发现活性炭纤维（ACFs）以单束纤维的结构交叉排列而成,比表面积较大（>1480m²/g）,另外发现活性炭纤维的表面存在较多官能团种类.结合活性炭纤维表征结果,论文对活性炭纤维三维电极的相关影响因素进行了考察,研究了活性炭纤维种类,活性炭纤维与电极的接触方式以及反应溶液初始pH值对实验结果的影响.结果表明,活性炭纤维表面过多的含氧官能团不利于污染物的快速降解,而三维电极电氧化效果随着pH值的降低而显著增大,不同的电极接触方式对三维电极电氧化效果也有较大影响.     

椭圆纤维过滤压降与惯性捕集效率数值分析

采用数值方法求解了描述椭圆截面纤维绕流特征的Navier-Stokes方程,并计算了椭圆纤维对粒子惯性捕集效率及纤维过滤压降.分析讨论了椭圆纤维迎风角度θ、长短轴比ε和填充率C等参数对惯性粒子过滤性能的影响.结果表明,在大迎风角度时,过滤压降随长短轴比增大而增大,而在小迎风角度下,过滤压降则随长短轴比增大而减小;在相同纤维长短轴比条件下,过滤压降均随迎风角增大而增加.粒子惯性捕集效率计算结果则表明,对于中高惯性粒子捕集,大迎风角度和高长短轴比的椭圆纤维的捕集效率高于圆截面纤维,而对弱惯性粒子,小迎风角度和高长短轴比的椭圆纤维则表现出较高的捕集效率.在椭圆纤维过滤压降和捕集效率计算基础上,采用纤维过滤质量因子（定义为捕集效率比过滤阻力）评价综合过滤性能.结果表明,对于中高惯性粒子过滤,扁长型椭圆纤维（即为高长短轴比ε）在迎风角约为θ=45°时质量因子总体较高,即具有较优的综合过滤性能;而对弱惯性粒子,则扁长型椭圆纤维长轴平行来流方向（θ=0°）时,总体过滤性能较优.

Preparation and application of efficient TiO2/ACFs photocatalyst

Activated carbon fibers （ACFs） supported titanium dioxide （TiO2） photocatalyst was developed by sol-gel method. The surface morphology and microstructure of the photocatalyst were characterized with scan electron microscope（SEM）, X-ray diffraction patterns and specific surface area analysis. The prepared photocatalyst is specially helpful for the removal of low molecular weight organic pollutants in wastewater. Decomposition efficiency of methylene blue solution by TiO2/ACFs catalyst reached almost 100% under 60 min reaction, while the decomposition efficiency by pure TiO2 was only 25% under 3 h reaction. The mineralization of toluene aqueous solution was measured by total organic carbon instrument, and the evolution of intermediate species was detected by gas chromatograph instrument. The results indicated that the prepared photocatalyst not only enhanced the photoactivity of TiO2, but also suppressed the emergence of intermediate species, which may be more deleterious to human. The enhancement of photocatalysis was due to increased efficiency of adsorption and desorption, which were control steps in heterogeneous photocatalysis.

Physical Properties and Fiber Morphology of Poly(lactic acid) Obtained from Continuous Two-Step Melt Spinning

Fibers of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) produced by two-step melt-spinning are studied. The PLA resin used contains a 98:02 ratio of l:d stereochemical centers. A range of processing conditions is explored. The cold-draw ratio is varied from 1 to 8 under conditions of constant heating. In addition, three draw ratios are studied at three different heating rates. The thermal, mechanical, and morphological properties of the resultant fibers are determined. Properties can be widely manipulated through a combination of draw ratio and draw temperature. A maximum tensile strength and modulus of 0.38 GPa and 3.2 GPa, respectively, are obtainable. Using atomic force microscopy, the fiber morphology is found to be highly fibrillar; microfibril diameters are roughly 40 nm in diameter. Very high draw ratios cause the fiber to turn from shiny and translucent to dull and white; this transition is attributed to surface crazing. Significant molecular weight loss is observed upon processing (weight-average molecular weights drops between 27% and 43%).
