Enhanced electrokinetic remediation of chromium-contaminated soil using approaching anodes

As a new technology used for the cleaning of chromium-contaminated soil, worldwide interest in eletrokinetic (EK) remediation has grown considerably in recent times. However, owing to the fact that chromium exists as both cationic and anionic species in the soil, it is not an efficient method. This paper reports upon a study in which a process using approaching anodes (AAs) was used to enhance the removal efficiency of chromium by eletrokinetics. Two bench-scale experiments to remove chromium from contaminated soil were performed, one using a fixed anode (FA) and the other using AAs. In the AAs experiment, the anode moved toward the cathode by 7 cm every three days. After remediation, soil pH, total chromium, and fractionation of chromium in the soil were determined. The average removal efficiency of total chromium was 11.32% and 18.96% in the FA and AAs experiments, respectively. After remediation, acidic soil conditions throughout the soil were generated through the use of AAs, while 80% of the soil remained neutral or alkalic when using the FA approach. The acidic soil environment and high field intensity in the AAs experiment might have favored chromium desorption, dissolution and dissociation from the soil, plus the mobility of chromium in the soil was also enhanced. The results demonstrate that AAs used in the process of EK remediation can enhance the efficiency of chromium removal from soil.     

中国地区大气汞的干沉降速度

借助箱模式对汞的干沉降过程进行敏感性分析,并利用区域大气环境模式系统RegAEMS计算中国地区汞干沉降速度的时空分布特征。结果表明,森林下垫面下三类汞（气态零价汞、活性气态汞和颗粒态汞）的干沉降速度较大( 0.13、4.5和0.45 cm·s^-1),水体表面上的相对较小（0.0012,0.5和0.11 cm·s^-1）。敏感性分析发现,三类汞的干沉降速度随着近地层风速增加;降水或者地表湿度降低会导致零价汞和活性气态汞干沉降速度增加;雪盖厚度会减小气态零价汞的干沉降速度而增加活性气态汞的干沉降速度。三类汞的干沉降速度在区域上分布类似,东北以及南部地区最高,华东地区最小。季节变化上,气态零价汞、活性气态汞的干沉降速度在多数下垫面都夏季最大,冬季最小;颗粒态汞季节变化不明显。     

江苏省宿迁市某监测井地下水砷超标原因研究

江苏宿迁市中部某远离工业企业的监测井地下水砷（As）指标连续多期次超《地下水质量标准》（GB/T 14848—2017）Ⅳ类标准限值。为探究该监测井地下水As长期超标原因，通过在监测井附近新钻取岩芯沉积物中不同形态As的提取实验，结合新井和监测井中地下水的同步取样与水质参数的测试，系统分析了监测井点位地下水As超标的原因。研究结果发现，离监测井5 m处的新井地下水As质量浓度不超标，而监测井中As仍超标。对比新井和监测井的水质参数与沉积物中As的赋存形态发现，在还原性和弱碱性的环境条件下，地下水类型及地层沉积物中碳酸盐结合态的变化可能对地下水As质量分数有明显的影响，而铁-锰氧化物结合态与有机物-硫化物结合态的变化对As质量分数超标影响则有限。此外，不排除可能受到成井工艺不规范与监测井受到串层污染的影响。

江苏省颗粒物激光雷达组网在一次复合过程中的应用分析

基于2022年9月5—11日江苏省发生臭氧连续超标，细颗粒物（PM_2.5）浓度同步上升的一次典型复合污染过程，利用颗粒物激光雷达组网对江苏省6个城市的大气垂直剖面进行了连续监测，并结合近地面污染物浓度和气象要素观测数据分析了此次污染过程的成因。结果表明，污染过程期间各城市呈现高温、小风、强太阳辐射的特征，造成日间二次生成的颗粒物在本地积聚。各城市颗粒物浓度的小时变化趋势大致相同，颗粒物浓度大幅升高期间，ρ（PM_2.5）/ρ（PM₁₀）值也同步上升，以PM_2.5生成为主导。激光雷达探测结果显示，1 km以内的355 nm消光系数显著增强，表明此次污染过程是由于强大气氧化性导致以极细颗粒物为主导的PM_2.5大量二次生成，无明显的区域传输，同时夜间伴随边界层高度降低，白天生成的高浓度PM_2.5沉降至地面，期间淮安市、扬州市和镇江市受浮尘、扬尘等粗粒子影响，边界层内粗颗粒物浓度也较高。
