Evaluation of a number of chemical mechanisms for their application in models describing the formation of photochemical ozone in Europe

A series of 24 chemical mechanisms from the literature are compared against each other using harmonized emissions, photolysis rate coefficients for simple inorganic chemistry and life cycle data for ozone, PAN and H₂O₂. The evaluation sought to understand the impact of parameterizing hydrocarbon oxidation on the peak concentrations of photochemically-generated secondary pollutants. Only seven of the 24 chemical mechanisms gave peak concentrations of ozone, PAN and H₂O₂ simultaneously in their respective central ranges. PAN and H₂O₂ were generally calculated with a much lower precision compared to ozone. Only 11 mechanisms out of 24 gave responses to both 50% hydrocarbons and NO_x emissions controls in their respective central bands. The lack of coordinated ozone, PAN and hydrogen peroxide measurements across Europe currently limits the adequacy of model comparisons and hence the confidence which may be placed in assessments of likely impacts of future control strategies.     

北京大气中NO、NO2和O3浓度变化的相关性分析

臭氧（O₃）是城市污染大气中的首要光化学污染物,其变化规律与氮氧化物(NO_x=NO+NO₂)关系密切.采用49C臭氧分析仪和42CTL氮氧化物分析仪对北京城区O₃和NO_x浓度进行了连续观测,时间为2004-08～2005-07.结果显示,O₃和OX（O₃+NO₂）浓度在午后15:00左右出现峰值,NO_x呈双峰态日变化,在07:00和23:00左右出现峰值.不同季节污染物的浓度变化存在差异,O₃和NO_x浓度分别在夏季和冬季达到最大.NO_x浓度存在100×10^-9(体积分数)的“分界点”,NO_x低浓度时以NO₂为主,NO_x高浓度时NO占大部分.OX区域贡献和局地贡献存在明显的季节变化,前者主要受区域背景O₃的影响,在春季最大,后者主要受局地NO_x光化学反应的制约,在夏季最强,同时OX组分呈现显著的昼夜差异.     

北京城区夏季O3化学生成过程

选取2007年7月1日—8月31日中的21个晴空日,利用观测资料和光化学箱模式计算了北京城区测点的O₃生成速率G(O₃)和O₃生成效率OPE.结果表明,21个晴空日中G(O₃)日最高小时值分布在(18~82)×10^-9h^-1之间;在O₃污染和非污染日G(O₃)最高值的平均水平无显著差异,且与O_x浓度之间不存在一致的对应关系,表明O₃化学生成过程不能全面解释地面O₃浓度的累积,物理传输过程对测点O₃实测浓度有显著作用;各个化学过程对G(O₃)的贡献率对比结果显示,HO₂ 在 NO向NO₂的转化中贡献最大;OPE值分布在2.8~5.8之间,总体水平为4.1±0.1;OPE值与NO_x浓度之间为非线性关系,OPE值随NO_x浓度的增加而减少,表明消减测点附近VOCs排放能有效降低O₃浓度.

Numerical evaluation of the effectiveness of NO2 and N2O5 generation during the NO ozonation process

Wet scrubbing combined with ozone oxidation has become a promising technology for simultaneous removal of SO₂ and NO_x in exhaust gas. In this paper, a new 20-species, 76-step detailed kinetic mechanism was proposed between O₃ and NO_x. The concentration of N₂O₅ was measured using an in-situ IR spectrometer. The numerical evaluation results kept good pace with both the public experiment results and our experiment results. Key reaction parameters for the generation of NO₂ and N₂O₅ during the NO ozonation process were investigated by a numerical simulation method. The effect of temperature on producing NO₂ was found to be negligible. To produce NO₂, the optimal residence time was 1.25 sec and the molar ratio of O₃/NO about 1. For the generation of N₂O₅, the residence time should be about 8 sec while the temperature of the exhaust gas should be strictly controlled and the molar ratio of O₃/NO about 1.75. This study provided detailed investigations on the reaction parameters of ozonation of NO_x by a numerical simulation method, and the results obtained should be helpful for the design and optimization of ozone oxidation combined with the wet flue gas desulfurization methods (WFGD) method for the removal of NO_x.     

上海市浦东城区二次气溶胶生成的估算

利用2010年5～10月不同日最高O3小时浓度(O3,max)下PM10浓度变化评估不同O3浓度水平下二次气溶胶生成量.CO作为一次颗粒物的标志物,O3作为光化学反应水平的指示物种.结果表明不同光化学水平条件下,PM10中一次与二次气溶胶浓度及比例存在较大差异.随着光化学水平的增加,PM10中一次气溶胶排放浓度增长不大(0.036～0.044 mg.m-3),二次气溶胶的生成量却呈数倍增长(0.018～0.055 mg.m-3);二次与一次气溶胶浓度的比例也从49.8%增加到124.5%.O3,max出现的时间也随着光化学水平的增强由13:00推迟到14:00,二次气溶胶生成的主要时段也从11:00～20:00增加到09:00～20:00;此外,PM2.5中主要组分SO24-、NO3-、OC等比例随着光化学水平(即O3,max浓度)的不同而存在一定差异,当O3,max<0.10 mg.m-3时,PM2.5主要由12.0%有机碳(OC)、18.7%硫酸盐、13.1%硝酸盐和4.5%元素碳(EC)组成,而O3,max>0.20mg.m-3时,PM2.5主要由20.0%有机碳(OC)、22.9%硫酸盐、23.1%硝酸盐和4.7%元素碳(EC)组成.说明SO24-、NO3-、OC受光化学水平影响较大.

Ground-high altitude joint detection of ozone and nitrogen oxides in urban areas of Beijing

Based on observational data of ozone(O3) and nitrogen oxide(NOx) mixing ratios on the ground and at high altitude in urban areas of Beijing during a period of six days in November 2011,the temporal and spatial characteristics of mixing ratios were analyzed.The major findings include:urban O3 mixing ratios are low and NOx mixing ratios are always high near the road in November.Vertical variations of the gases are significantly different in and above the planetary boundary layer.The mixing ratio of O3 is negatively correlated with that of NOx and they are positively correlated with air temperature,which is the main factor directly causing vertical variation of O3 and NOx mixing ratios at 600-2100m altitude.The NOx mixing ratios elevated during the heating period,while the O3 mixing ratios decreased:these phenomena are more significant at high altitudes compared to lower altitudes.During November,air masses in the urban areas of Beijing are brought by northwesterly winds,which transport O3 and NOx at low mixing ratios.Due to Beijing’s natural geographical location,northwest air currents are beneficial to the dilution and dispersion of pollutants,which can result in lower O3 and NOx background values in the Beijing urban area.     

Response of ozone to changes in hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide concentrations in outdoor smog chambers filled with Los Angeles air

During the summer portion of the 1987 Southern California Air Quality Study (SCAQS), outdoor smog chamber experiments were performed on Los Angeles air to determine the response of maximum ozone levels, O₃(max), to changes in the initial concentrations of hydrocarbons, HC, and nitrogen oxides, NO_x. These captive-air experiments were conducted in downtown Los Angeles and in the downwind suburb of Claremont. Typically, eight chambers were filled with LA air in the morning. In some chambers the initial HC and/or NO_x concentrations were changed by 25% to 50% by adding various combinations of a mixture of HC, clean air, or NO_x. The O₃ concentration in each chamber was monitored throughout the day to determine O₃(max).An empirical mathematical model for O₃(max) was developed from regression fits to the initial HC and NO_x concentrations and to the average daily temperature at both sites. This is the first time that a mathematical expression for the O₃-precursor relationship and the positive effect of temperature on O₃(max) have been quantified using captive-air experiments. An ozone isopleth diagram prepared from the empirical model was qualitatively similar to those prepared from photochemical mechanisms. This constitutes the first solely empirical corroboration of the O₃ contour shape for Los Angeles.To comply with the Federal Ozone Standard in LA, O₃(max) must be reduced by approximately 50%. Several strategies for reducing O₃(max) by 50% were evaluated using the empirical model. For the average initial conditions that we measured in LA, the most efficient strategy is one that reduces HC by 55–75%, depending on the ambient HC/NO_x ratio. Any accompanying reduction in NO_x would be counter-productive to the benefits of HC reductions. In fact, reducing HC and NO_x simultaneously requires larger percentage reductions for both than the reduction required when HC alone is reduced. The HC-reduction strategy is the most efficient on average, but no single strategy is the optimum every day.     

Calculation of long term averaged ground level ozone concentrations

Seasonal averaged ground level concentrations for O₃ have been calculated for The Netherlands by means of a two-layer Lagrangian long-range transport (LRT) model. The model includes emissions, nonlinear atmospheric chemistry, dry deposition, exchange between boundary layer (BL) and free troposphere (FT) and fumigation between a mixed layer and an aged smog layer. Concentrations of primary and secondary pollutants in the FT are obtained from a two-dimensional global model developed by Isaksen.In the reference calculation the modelled concentrations of Ox (sum of O₃ and NO₂) and O₃ are in fair agreement with measurements. The NO_x (sum of NO and NO₂) and NO₂ concentrations are under-estimated by the model but there is a good temporal correlation between calculated and measured concentrations. Validation of other components involved in the chemical scheme is hardly possible due to the paucity of measured data. It can only be stated that the results presented in this paper are not in disagreement with measured or modelled data presented in the literature.In a number of sensitivity runs the influence of European anthropogenic emissions of NO_x and volatile organic compounds (VOC) has been investigated. The calculations indicate that the influence of European emissions on the growing season, daytime averaged (May–September, 10–17 h) O₃ concentrations in The Netherlands is small. For European reductions in the order of tens of per cents a VOC emission reduction is more effective than a NO_x emission reduction in lowering the O₃ concentrations. For strong reductions (about 70%) VOC and NO_x are equally effective. The effects of the modelled underprediction of NO_x concentrations on the production of O₃ on a European scale are probably small. On a local scale the effects are more pronounced due to the NO/O₃ titration (photostationary equilibrium). Therefore, an empirical correction is applied on the modelled O₃ concentrations. After this correction, it is shown that daytime O₃ levels during the growing season increase when European NO_x emissions are reduced (2.0–7.7.% increase at 50% NO_x emission reduction). A reduction in VOC emission leads to decreasing O₃ levels (9% reduction for 40% VOC emission reduction, 16% reduction for 70% VOC emission reduction). For a combined reduction of both VOC and NO_x slightly decreasing ground level O₃ concentrations are expected.     

A captive-air irradiation study of the response of nitric acid and peroxyacetyl nitrate to ozone control strategies in Los Angeles

Outdoor smog chamber experiments were used to study the sensitivity of the yields of two important nitrogen-containing pollutants, nitric acid (HNO₃) and peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) to changes in nonmethane hydrocarbon (HC) and nitrogen oxide (NO_x) concentrations in Los Angeles. The experiments were conducted at two sites in the Los Angeles Basin using eight chambers filled with morning Los Angeles air on 33 days. At least one chamber was unchanged and served as a control, while the initial HC and/or NO_x concentrations were changed by 25–50% in up to seven chambers to simulate O₃ control strategies and to broaden the range of HC - NO_x conditions studied. Empirical models that predict the maximum yields of HNO₃ and PAN were used to determine the response of these pollutants to three possible ozone control strategies. All three strategies (reductions in HC, NO_x or both HC and NO_x) reduced PAN while only NO_x reductions decreased HNO₃. However, reducing NO_x increased the HC reductions required to attain lower O₃ levels. Thus, there is a conflict between the O₃ and HNO₃ control strategies.     

Trends in ground level ozone concentrations in the European Union

Following the Council Directive 92/72/EEC on air pollution by ozone the Member States of the European Union have to inform the European Commission on ozone concentrations and exceedances of threshold values within their territory. Using the available information covering the period of 5 years (1994–1998), the data has been analysed for a possible trend in statistical parameters (50- and 98-percentiles) and number and severity of exceedances. Time series are relatively short but the data suggest that there might be a small increasing trend in the 50 percentile values. The ozone peak values, expressed as 98-percentile values or as number of exceedance days tend to decrease. However, these conclusions must be interpreted carefully as on the short time scales considered here meteorological variations and inter-annual changes may play an important role. The decrease in peak values is most likely caused by the decrease in European ozone precursor emissions since 1990; insufficient data is available to explain the increasing 50-percentile values. Possible explanations are an increase in tropospheric ozone background values caused by a world-wide increase in CH₄, CO and NO_x emissions or a reduced ozone titration by reduced NO_x emissions on the local scale. The data submitted under the ozone directive is insufficient to provide firm conclusions on this point.     

烟雾箱与数值模拟研究苯和乙苯的臭氧生成潜势

结合光化学烟雾箱实验与数值模拟研究了苯和乙苯在NO x存在条件下的光氧化臭氧生成潜势.重复实验表明,在乙苯-NO x反应体系中,反应物初始浓度、温度、湿度和光照强度接近的条件下,整个反应过程中臭氧的最大偏差仅为4%,证明了烟雾箱的可重复性较高.在烟雾箱实验的基础上,使用MCM(master chemical mechanism)模拟了苯和乙苯的光氧化O3生成,并将其结果与实验数据进行了比对分析.干燥(≤5%)时MCM对苯和乙苯的模拟结果与实验结果较接近,如在苯-NO x反应体系中,MCM模拟的O3峰值比实验值偏大20%;在湿度为5%~70%时,MCM模拟的乙苯光氧化O3峰值与实验值偏高约(10%~25%).用MCM模拟了太阳光照条件下苯和乙苯的臭氧生成等值线,得到在它们浓度为(10~50)×10-9,NO x在(10~100)×10-9时,苯和乙苯的6 h臭氧贡献值分别为(3.1~33)×10-9和(2.6~122)×10-9,臭氧峰值范围分别是(3.5~54)×10-9和(3.8~164)×10-9.此外,模拟得到苯和乙苯的最大增量反应活性(maximum incremental reactivity,MIR)值分别为0.25/C和0.97/C(每单位碳).该结果与Carter通过SAPRC机制得到的MIR值趋势一致.模拟得到苯和乙苯的最大臭氧反应活性(maximum ozone reactivity,MOR)分别为0.73/C和1.03/C.苯的MOR值远高于Carter使用SAPRC得到的结果,说明根据Carter得到的苯MOR会低估苯的O3潜势.     

臭氧污染动态源贡献分析方法及应用初探

论文创新提出了基于RSM/CMAQ臭氧污染动态源贡献分析方法,并以佛山市顺德区2014年10月为例,分析了不同区域的人为可控源NO_x和VOCs减排情景下(10%、70%和100%)对本地O_3浓度变化的量化贡献.研究结果表明顺德区O_3的人为可控比例约43%,且受区域排放影响非常明显,主导上风向广州排放源总贡献(14%)超过顺德本地贡献(7%).VOCs的减排可有效削减顺德区O_3浓度,当减排力度较小时(12%),若仅控制区域NO_x排放将导致顺德区O_3浓度上升,随着减排力度的加大,区域NO_x的削减贡献会反超VOCs.RSM/CMAQ动态源贡献分析方法可为空气质量管理提供科学决策依据.

VOC emission caps constrained by air quality targets based on response surface model: A case study in the Pearl River Delta Region, China

Because of the recent growth in ground-level ozone and increased emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), VOC emission control has become a major concern in China. In response, emission caps to control VOC have been stipulated in recent policies, but few of them were constrained by the co-control target of PM_2.5 and ozone, and discussed the factor that influence the emission cap formulation. Herein, we proposed a framework for quantification of VOC emission caps constrained by targets for PM_2.5 and ozone via a new response surface modeling (RSM) technique, achieving 50% computational cost savings of the quantification. In the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region, the VOC emission caps constrained by air quality targets varied greatly with the NO_x emission reduction level. If control measures in the surrounding areas of the PRD region were not considered, there could be two feasible strategies for VOC emission caps to meet air quality targets (160 µg/m³ for the maximum 8-hr-average 90th-percentile (MDA8-90%) ozone and 25 µg/m³ for the annual average of PM_2.5): a moderate VOC emission cap with <20% NOx emission reductions or a notable VOC emission cap with >60% NO_x emission reductions. If the ozone concentration target were reduced to 155 µg/m³, deep NO_x emission reductions is the only feasible ozone control measure in PRD. Optimization of seasonal VOC emission caps based on the Monte Carlo simulation could allow us to gain higher ozone benefits or greater VOC emission reductions. If VOC emissions were further reduced in autumn, MDA8-90% ozone could be lowered by 0.3-1.5 µg/m³, equaling the ozone benefits of 10% VOC emission reduction measures. The method for VOC emission cap quantification and optimization proposed in this study could provide scientific guidance for coordinated control of regional PM_2.5 and O₃ pollution in China.     

北京夏季道路环境中NO_x,NMHCs及气象因子对ρ(O_3)的影响

通过对北京市2009年夏季3种典型道路(开阔道路、交叉道路、街道峡谷)环境中O3,O3前体物(NO,NMHCs等)及气象因子的监测,分析了北京市典型道路环境中ρ(O3)的变化规律及O3前体物质量浓度与气象因子对ρ(O3)的影响.结果表明:夏季北京市典型道路环境中ρ(O3)呈明显的日间单峰变化规律,这与非道路环境并无不同.不同类型道路环境中ρ(O3)的变幅与峰值出现时间有所不同;3种典型道路环境中ρ(O3)与ρ(NO),ρ(NMHCs)等均呈良好的负相关关系,与ρ(NO2),ρ(NO2)/ρ(NO)呈良好的正相关关系;3种类型道路环境中ρ(O3)均呈现出与紫外强度、温度相同的变化趋势,而与相对湿度的变化趋势相反,ρ(O)高值出现于高温、强紫外线与低湿度的时刻,ρ(O)变化略滞后于紫外强度变化.     

Toluene decomposition performance and NOx by-product formation during a DBD-catalyst process

Characteristics of toluene decomposition and formation of nitrogen oxide (NOx) by-products were investigated in a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor with/without catalyst at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Four kinds of metal oxides, i.e., manganese oxide (MnOx), iron oxide (FeOx), cobalt oxide (CoOx) and copper oxide (CuO), supported on Al₂O₃/nickel foam, were used as catalysts. It was found that introducing catalysts could improve toluene removal efficiency, promote decomposition of by-product ozone and enhance CO₂ selectivity. In addition, NOx was suppressed with the decrease of specific energy density (SED) and the increase of humidity, gas flow rate and toluene concentration, or catalyst introduction. Among the four kinds of catalysts, the CuO catalyst showed the best performance in NOx suppression. The MnOx catalyst exhibited the lowest concentration of O₃ and highest CO₂ selectivity but the highest concentration of NOx. A possible pathway for NOx production in DBD was discussed. The contributions of oxygen active species and hydroxyl radicals are dominant in NOx suppression.
