A photochemical box model for urban air quality study

The photochemical box model (PBM) developed in the present study is based on the principle of mass conservation. It has a horizontal domain of the size of a typical city and a vertical dimension defined by the mixed-layer height. The concentration of any pollutant is determined by horizontal advection, vertical entrainment, source emissions and chemical reactions. A one-dimensional high resolution boundary layer model by Blackadar (Preprints, Third Symp. on Atmospheric Turbulence, Diffusion, and Air Quality, Raleigh, Am. Met. Soc., pp. 443–447, 1976; Advances in Environmental Sciences and Engineering, Vol. 1, No. 1 (edited by Pfafflin J. and Ziegler E.), pp. 50–85. Gordon and Breach, New York, 1979) has been incorporated in the PBM and further developed to consider the effect of urban heat islands in the simulation of mixed layer height. The predicted mixed-layer heights compare very well with observations. The gas phase chemical kinetic mechanism used in the Regional Acid Deposition Model II (RADM2) and that of an earlier version of PBM have been used to calculate the contributions of chemical reactions to the changes of pollutant concentrations. Detailed analysis and comparisons of the two chemical mechanisms have been made. The simulated pollutant concentrations using both chemical mechanisms are in very good agreement with available observations for CO, NO, NO₂ and O₃. A radiative transfer model developed by Madronich (J. geophys. Res.92, 9740–9752, 1987) has been incorporated in the PBM for the calculation of actinic flux and photolytic rate constants. Height-averaged and radiation-corrected photolytic rate constants are used for the photochemical reactions. Budget analyses conducted for CO, NO, NO₂ and O₃ have enhanced our understanding of the relative contributions of horizontal advection, vertical entrainment, source emissions and chemical reactions to the overall rate of change of their concentrations. Model predictions are not sensitive to the large number of peroxy radical-peroxy radical reactions in the RADM2 chemical mechanism under urban conditions.     

Minimization of methabenzthiazuron residues in leaching water using amended soils and photocatalytic treatment with TiO2 and ZnO

In the present work, potential groundwater pollution by methabenzthiazuron （MTBU） and the effect of three different amendments （composted sheep manure, composted pine bark and spent coffee grounds） on its mobility were investigated under laboratory conditions. The efficiency of ZnO and TiO2 suspensions in the photocatalytic degradation of MTBU in leaching water was also investigated. The relative and cumulative breakthrough curves were obtained from disturbed soil columns. The presence and/or addition of organic matter drastically reduced the movement of the herbicide. On other hand, photocatalytic experiments showed that the addition of ZnO and TiO2 strongly enhances the degradation rate of this herbicide compared with the results of photolytic experiments under artificial light. ZnO appeared to be more effective in MTBU oxidation than TiO2. The results obtained point to the interest of using organic wastes and heterogeneous photocatalysis for reducing the pollution of groundwater by pesticide drainage.

氯氧铁非均相催化过氧化氢降解罗丹明B

传统芬顿(Fenton)法因反应pH值低、产生大量铁泥等限制其规模化应用.采用化学气相转变法制备氯氧铁(FeOCl)纳米片,选择罗丹明B为模型污染物,研究FeOCl作为类芬顿催化剂催化过氧化氢(H_2O_2)降解罗丹明B性能.通过扫描电镜(FE-SEM)和X射线衍射光谱(XRD)等表征结果显示,FeOCl晶型结构完整、呈现纳米片状,可充分暴露催化活性位点.罗丹明B降解实验结果表明,H_2O_2投量为1. 67 mmol·L~(-1)时,投加200 mg·L~(-1)FeOCl,可使得罗丹明B去除率由15. 5%提高至100%(15 min). FeOCl的催化性能随pH升高而降低,初始pH为3、5和7时,反应15 min后罗丹明B去除率分别为100%、100%和84. 0%,初始pH提升至9,去除率则显著降低至57. 6%.与传统Fenton法比较,FeOCl催化H_2O_2的pH值范围明显拓展,在弱酸性和中性条件下表现出优良的催化性能.自由基淬灭实验表明,FeOCl/H_2O_2体系催化降解罗丹明B起主要作用的是羟基自由基(·OH).电子自旋共振波谱仪测定(EPR)结果表明,单独H_2O_2体系未检测出明显的自由基信号,而投加FeOCl使得·OH信号显著增强,·OH是降解罗丹明B的主要氧化活性物种.     

Studies on the formation of H2O2 in the ozonolysis of alkenes

The formation of H₂O₂ in the reactions of ozone with alkenes, isoprene and some terpenes has been studied with tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy. The measured yields of H₂O₂ were found to be considerably enhanced in the presence of water vapour. H₂O₂ is thought to be formed in the ozonolysis of the alkene with O₃ by direct reaction of an intermediate with water vapour. The yield of H₂O₂ relative to the reacted alkene in the ozonolysis of trans-2-butene in the presence of water vapour was also studied with long path FTIR spectroscopy. Irrespective of the analytical methods and reaction conditions applied, the H₂O₂ yields in the reaction of O₃ with the different alkenes in the presence of water vapour were found to be in the range of a few per cent or less. Under the assumption that the reactive species forming H₂O₂ in the ozonolysis is the Criegee biradical, the overall rate constants for the reactions of some biradicals with water vapour were measured relative to the rate constant of the biradical with SO₂. For the H₂COO biradical a rate constant of (5.8 ± 2.5) × 10⁻¹⁷ cm³ s⁻¹ was determined and for the (CH₃)₂COO biradical (2.9 ± 1.5) × 10⁻¹⁷ cm³ s⁻¹; in the latter case with the assumption that (CH₃)₂COO reacts with SO₂ as fast as CH₂COO.

Products and mechanisms of the reactions of the nitrate radical (NO3) with isoprene, 1,3-butadiene and 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene in air

Products and mechanisms of the reaction of NO₃ with isoprene have been studied under simulated atmospheric conditions with in situ FTIR spectroscopy as analytical technique. The study addressed also the reactions of NO₃ with 1,3-butadiene and 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene as well as with the deuterated species 1,1,4,4-d₄-1,3-butadiene, d₆-1,3-butadiene and 4,4-d₂-2-methyl-1,3-butadiene (d₂-isoprene). The dienes examined apparently follow very similar reaction pathways. The decay of the intermediate peroxynitrates formed after the addition of NO₃ to one of the methylene groups, leads to unsaturated ketone-nitrate, aldehyde-nitrate, alcohol-nitrate and perhaps also dinitrate species. The yield of unsubstituted carbonyl compounds was insignificant in the reactions of NO₃ with 1,3-butadiene and isoprene. In the case of isoprene, NO₃ reacts adding preferentially to the 1-position and 3-methyl-4-nitroxy-2-butenal appears to be the main product. 1,3-Butadiene predominantly reacts with NO₃ via trans-1,4-addition and 1,2-addition while the cis-1,4-addition path is of minor importance. trans-4-Nitroxy-2-butenal and 1-nitroxy-3-buten-2-one were found as main products. Contrary to the daytime OH-initiated degradation of isoprene, the nighttime oxidation of isoprene by NO₃ leads to formation of large quantities of organic nitrate compounds; this may have consequences for the tropospheric NO_y budget as briefly discussed.     

光助-二茂铁/H2O2非均相体系降解磺胺二甲基嘧啶

抗生素在废水和地表水中经常检出,因其可诱导细菌菌群的抗药性而备受关注,因而亟需发展新型高效的抗生素去除技术.本研究构建了基于二茂铁(Fc)的光助非均相氧化体系,并选取水体中广泛检出的磺胺二甲基嘧啶(SMZ)为模型化合物,研究了SMZ在该体系中的降解动力学、转化途径和产物.结果表明,相对于Fc、Fc+UV、H_2O_2、H_2O_2+UV、Fc+H_2O_2体系,SMZ在Fc+H_2O_2+UV体系中呈现更好的降解效率.自由基淬灭实验证实·OH是Fc+H_2O_2+UV体系中决定SMZ降解的最主要活性物种.电子自旋共振实验发现Fc+H_2O_2+UV体系中产生了超氧自由基阴离子,说明Fc在光照条件下可产生电子. H_2O_2接受电子后歧化产生·OH进而促进SMZ降解.采用轨道离子阱高分辨质谱对SMZ在Fc+H_2O_2+UV体系中的降解产物进行了鉴定,发现有SMZ的羟基化、脱SO_2和C—S、S—N及N—C键断裂的产物形成.水中常见溶解性组分,如DOM、Cl~-及Br~-,可淬灭·OH而抑制SMZ降解,但离子强度对SMZ在Fc+H_2O_2+UV体系中的降解无显著影响,说明该技术对于含有高盐度抗生素废水的处理仍具有较好的效果.     

凤眼莲对富营养化水体硝化、反硝化脱氮释放N2O的影响

以往有关大型水生漂浮植物消减富营养化水体氮(N)的研究主要侧重于植物对N的吸收效果,而忽略了硝化、反硝化反应途径对水体脱氮的贡献.基于此,本研究中借助具创新性的收集凤眼莲种植水体释放N₂O的装置和方法,通过模拟实验研究了凤眼莲对富营养化水体硝化、反硝化脱氮中间产物N₂O的影响.结果表明,凤眼莲可以促进富营养化水体的硝化、反硝化、成对硝化-反硝化反应过程,在本实验条件下凤眼莲种植水体在整个培养期内释放的N₂O气体浓度累积升高幅度较大,为453~4055 nL·L^-1(未加硝化抑制剂处理),通过释放N₂O而脱除氮素的量占整个水体N消减量的1.36%,为相应未种植凤眼莲水体的4.31倍.种植凤眼莲水体试验期间释放N₂O-N的量与水体氨态氮或硝态氮浓度的变化量均存在显著相关关系(p<0.05),说明N₂O释放量受到水体中NH₄⁺、NO₃^-浓度变化的影响.种植凤眼莲在实验中后期可以增加水体中硝化、反硝化细菌的数量,但其数量远低于凤眼莲根系附着的硝化反硝化细菌.水体中反硝化细菌数量与水体释放N₂O浓度之间并无显著相关性,说明种植凤眼莲水体反硝化脱氮释放N₂O过程可能主要是由根系共生微生物驱动的.

Assessing the role of mineral particles in the atmospheric photooxidation of typical carbonyl compound

Mineral particles are ubiquitous in the atmosphere and exhibit an important effect on the photooxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). However, the role of mineral particles in the photochemical oxidation mechanism of VOCs remains unclear. Hence, the photooxidation reactions of acrolein (ARL) with OH radical (OH) in the presence and absence of SiO₂ were investigated by theoretical approach. The gas-phase reaction without SiO₂ has two distinct pathways (H-abstraction and OH-addition pathways), and carbonyl-H-abstraction is the dominant pathway. In the presence of SiO₂, the reaction mechanism is changed, i.e., the dominant pathway from carbonyl-H-abstraction to OH-addition to carbonyl C-atom. The energy barrier of OH-addition to carbonyl C-atom deceases 21.33 kcal/mol when SiO₂ is added. Carbonyl H-atom of ARL is occupied by SiO₂ via hydrogen bond, and carbonyl C-atom is activated by SiO₂. Hence, the main product changes from H-abstraction product to OH-adduct in the presence of SiO₂. The OH-adduct exhibits a thermodynamic feasibility to yield HO₂ radical and carboxylic acid via the subsequent reactions with O₂, with implications for O₃ formation and surface acidity of mineral particles.

The role of copper and oxalate in the redox cycling of iron in atmospheric waters

During daytime, the redox cycling of dissolved iron compounds in atmospheric waters, and the related in-cloud transformations of photooxidants, are affected by reactions of Fe and Cu with hydroperoxy (HO₂) and superoxide (O₂⁻) radicals and the photoreduction of Fe(III)-oxalato complexes. We have investigated several of the important chemical reactions in this redox cycle, through laboratory simulation of the system, using γ-radiation to produce HO₂/O₂⁻. At concentrations comparable to those measured in atmospheric waters, the redox cycling of Fe was dramatically affected by the presence of oxalate and trace concentrations of Cu. At concentrations more than a hundred times lower than Fe, Cu consumed most of the HO₂/O₂⁻, and cycled between the Cu(II) and Cu(I) forms. Cu⁺ reacted with FeOH²⁺ to produce Fe(II) and Cu(II), with a second order rate constant of approximately 3 × 10⁷ M⁻¹s⁻¹. The presence of oxalate resulted in the formation of Fe(III)-oxalato complexes that were essentially unreactive with HO₂/O₂⁻. Only at high oxalate concentrations was the Fe(II)C₂O₄ complex also formed, and it reacted relatively rapidly with hydrogen peroxide (k = (3.1 ± 0.6) × 10⁴ M⁻¹s⁻¹). Simulations incorporating measurements for other redox mechanisms, including oxidation by ozone, indicate that, during daytime, Fe should be found mostly in the ferrous oxidation state, and that reactions of FeOH²⁺ with Cu(I) and HO₂/O₂⁻, and to a lesser degree, the photolysis of Fe(III)-oxalato complexes, are important mechanisms of Fe reduction in atmospheric waters. The catalytic effect of Cu(II)/Cu(I) and Fe(III)/Fe(II) should also significantly increase the sink function of the atmospheric liquid phase for HO₂ present in a cloud. A simple kinetic model for the reactions of Fe, Cu and HO₂/O₂⁻, accurately predicted the changes in Fe oxidation states that occurred when authentic fogwater samples were exposed to HO₂/O₂⁻.

Photobiologische Umwandlung der Sonnenenergie

Photosynthesis converts sunlight into chemical energy. The photosynthetic buildup of biomass is the biggest global production process although its average efficiency is only about 0.13% with respect to the radiation energy reaching the earth's surface. This is primarily due to limiting physiological factors such as CO₂, water, and fertilizer. By turning off biomass production from the photosynthetic mechanism these restraints are excluded, and the photolytic system of the photosynthetic apparatus can be used for reduction of protons. This leads to free hydrogen gas with a comparatively high theoretical efficiency.     

Assessing the influence of environmental conditions on secondary organic aerosol formation from a typical biomass burning compound

The atmospheric chemistry in complex air pollution remains poorly understood. In order to probe how environmental conditions can impact the secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from biomass burning emissions, we investigated the photooxidation of 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) under different environmental conditions in a smog chamber. It was found that SO₂ could promote the formation of SOA and increase the amounts of inorganic salts produced during the photooxidation. The formation rate of SOA and the corresponding SOA mass concentration increased gradually with the increasing DMF/OH ratio. The addition of (NH₄)₂SO₄ seed aerosol accelerated the SOA formation rate and significantly shortened the time for the reaction to reach equilibrium. Additionally, a relatively high illumination intensity promoted the formation of OH radicals and, correspondingly, enhanced the photooxidation of DMF. However, the enhancement of light intensity accelerated the aging of SOA, which led to a gradual decrease of the SOA mass concentration. This work shows that by having varying influence on atmospheric chemical reactions, the same environmental factor can affect SOA formation in different ways. The present study is helpful for us to better understand atmospheric complex pollution.
