Characteristics of secondary inorganic aerosol and sulfate species in size-fractionated aerosol particles in Shanghai

Sulfate, nitrate and ammonium(SNA) are the dominant species in secondary inorganic aerosol, and are considered an important factor in regional haze formation. Size-fractionated aerosol particles for a whole year were collected to study the size distribution of SNA as well as their chemical species in Shanghai. SNA mainly accumulated in fine particles and the highest average ratio of SNA to particulate matter(PM) was observed to be 47% in the fine size fraction(0.49–0.95 μm). Higher sulfur oxidation ratio and nitrogen oxidation ratio values were observed in PM of fine size less than 0.95 μm. Ion balance calculations indicated that more secondary sulfate and nitrate would be generated in PM of fine size(0.49–0.95 μm). Sulfur K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure(XANES) spectra of typical samples were analyzed. Results revealed that sulfur mainly existed as sulfate with a proportion(atomic basis) more than 73% in all size of PM and even higher at 90% in fine particles. Sulfate mainly existed as(NH4)2SO4 and gypsum in PM of Shanghai. Compared to non-haze days, a dramatic increase of(NH4)2SO4 content was found in fine particles on haze days only, which suggested the promoting impact of(NH4)2SO4 on haze formation. According to the result of air mass backward trajectory analysis, more(NH4)2SO4 would be generated during the periods of air mass stagnation. Based on XANES, analysis of sulfate species in size-fractionated aerosol particles can be an effective way to evaluate the impact of sulfate aerosols on regional haze formation.     

臭氧在冰晶及硫酸铵和亚硫酸铵渗溶冰晶上的粘着系数

利用流动管式反应器,在220-260K温度范围内,实验测量了臭氧在低温冰晶及硫酸铵和亚硫酸铵渗溶冰晶表面上的粘着系数.结果表明:臭氧在低温冰晶表面上的粘着系数随温度升高而增大, 其粘着系数为1.3×10-7-2.7×10-6; 臭氧在硫酸铵和亚硫酸铵渗溶冰晶表面上的粘着系数与二者浓度呈非线性关系; 利用实验结果估算了臭氧在极地平流层云中存留寿命约为56d, 臭氧在主要组成为水的冰晶表面上的损耗不容忽视.     

Ammonium-dependent regulation of aerobic methane-consuming bacteria in landfill cover soil by leachate irrigation

The impacts of landfill leachate irrigation on methane oxidation activities and methane-consuming bacteria populations were studied by incubation of landfill cover soils with leachate and (NH₄)₂SO₄ solution at different ammonium concentrations. The community structures and abundances of methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) were examined by PCRDGGE and real-time PCR. Compared with the pure (NH₄)₂SO₄ solution, leachate addition was found to have a positive effect on methane oxidation activity. In terms of the irrigation amount, ammonium in leachate was responsible for the actual inhibition of leachate. The extent of inhibitory effect mainly depended on its ammonium concentration. The suppression of the predominant methaneconsuming bacteria, type I MOB, was responsible for the decreased methane oxidation activity by ammonium inhibition. Methaneconsuming bacteria responded diversely in abundance to ammonium. The abundance of type I MOB decreased by fivefold; type II MOB showed stimulation response of fivefold magnification upon the first addition but lessened to be lower than the original level after the second addition; the amount of AOB was stimulated to increase for 20-30 times gradually. Accumulated nitrate from nitrification strengthened the ammonium inhibition on type I and type II MOB, as a result, repetitive irrigation was unfavorable for methane oxidation.     

Speciation of ammonium-containing species in atmospheric aerosols

A method for the speciation and separate determination of inorganic ammonium salts in atmospheric aerosols has been developed. It is based on sampling by an annular denuder-filter-pack system, in order to avoid chemical artifacts followed by thermal dissociation of NH₄NO₃ and NH₄Cl from the Teflon pre-filter, and collection of evolved gases on back-up filters. The predominant form of thermostable sulfate partially or totally neutralized by NH₃ is then identified and quantified from pH and [H⁺]/[SO₄²⁻] ratio measurements. Results of field experiments performed near Rome show that NH₄NO₃ and (NH₄)₂SO₄ constitute the major species of the fine particle fraction.NH₄Cl represents approximately one-fifth of NH₄NO₃ and one-tenth of the total ammonium species in terms of mass concentration.     

Interactions of sulfuric acid with common atmospheric bases and organic acids: Thermodynamics and implications to new particle formation

Interactions of the three common atmospheric bases, dimethylamine ((CH₃)₂NH), methylamine (CH₃NH₂), ammonia (NH₃), all considered to be efficient stabilizers of binary clusters in the Earth's atmosphere, with H₂SO₄, the key atmospheric precursor, and 14 common atmospheric organic acids (COAs) (formic, acetic, oxalic, malonic, succinic, glutaric acid, adipic, benzoic, phenylacetic, pyruvic, maleic acid, malic, tartaric and pinonic acids) have been studied using the density functional theory (DFT) and composite high-accuracy G3MP2 method. The thermodynamic stability of mixed (COA)(H₂SO₄), (COA)(B1), (COA)(B2) and (COA)(B3) dimers and (COA)(H₂SO₄)(B1), (COA)(H₂SO₄)(B2) and (COA)(H₂SO₄)(B3) trimers, where B1, B2 and B3 refer to (CH₃)₂NH, CH₃NH₂ and NH₃, respectively, have been investigated and their impacts on the thermodynamic stability of clusters containing H₂SO₄ have been studied. Our investigation shows that interactions of H₂SO₄ with COA, (CH₃)₂NH, CH₃NH₂ and NH₃ lead to the formation of more stable mixed dimers and trimers than (H₂SO₄)₂ and (H₂SO₄)₂(base), respectively, and emphasize the importance of common organic species for early stages of atmospheric nucleation. We also show that although amines are generally confirmed to be more active than NH₃ as stabilizers of binary clusters, in some cases mixed trimers containing NH₃ are more stable thermodynamically than those containing CH₃NH₂. This study indicates an important role of COA, which coexist and interact with that H₂SO₄ and common atmospheric bases in the Earth atmosphere, in formation of stable pre-nucleation clusters and suggests that the impacts of COA on new particle formation (NPF) should be studied in further details.     

Effect of ammonium sulfate and urea on PCDD/F formation from active carbon and possible mechanism of inhibition

The effect of ammonium sulfate （（NH4）2SO4） and urea （CO（NH2）2） on polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin and dibenzofuran （PCDD/F） formation from active carbon was investigated in this study. Both additives could significantly inhibit PCDD/F formation, and PCDD/F （TEQ） generation was reduced to 98.5% （98%） or 64.5% （77.2%） after 5% （NH4）2S04 or CO（NH2）2 was added into model ash, respectively. The inhibition efficiency of PCDDs was higher than the value of PCDFs, however, the reduction of PCDD/F yield was mainly from PCDFs decreasing. In addition, the solid-phase products were reduced more than the gas-phase compounds by inhibitors. By the measurement of chlorine emission in the phase of ion （Cl[Cl^-]） and molecule gas （Cl[Cl2]）, it was observed that both Cl[Cl^-] and Cl[Cl2] were reduced after inhibitors were added into ash. Cl[Cl2] was reduced to 51.0% by urea addition, which was supposed as one possible mechanism of PCDD/F inhibition.     

利用SPAMS研究石家庄市冬季连续灰霾天气的污染特征及成因

2014年11月18~26日石家庄市发生了连续的灰霾天气.利用位于石家庄市大气自动监测站(20 m)的单颗粒气溶胶质谱仪(SPAMS)分析了细颗粒物的化学组成,根据石家庄市大气污染物排放源谱库对主要成分进行了来源解析,并结合颗粒物质量浓度和气象条件研究了该地区冬季灰霾天气成因.结果表明,石家庄市大气细颗粒物来源分为7类,各源示踪离子:燃煤源为Al,工业源为OC、Fe、Pb,机动车尾气源为EC,扬尘源为Al、Ca、Si,生物质燃烧源为K和左旋葡聚糖,纯二次无机源为SO-4、NO-2和NO-3,餐饮源为HOC.灰霾期间大气中主要含有OC、HOC、EC、HEC、ECOC、富钾颗粒、矿物质和重金属等8类颗粒,其中OC和ECOC颗粒最多,分别占到总数的50%和20%以上,OC颗粒主要来自燃煤和工业工艺,ECOC颗粒主要来自燃煤和机动车尾气排放.灰霾发生时含有NH+4、SO-4、NO-2和NO-3等二次离子的颗粒物占比升高,其中含NH+4颗粒增幅最大;EC、OC与NO-3、SO-4、NH+4在灰霾天气下的混合程度均比干净天气高,其中与NH+4的混合程度加剧最为明显.冬季采暖期煤炭的大量燃烧、医化行业工艺过程及机动车尾气等污染源排放的一次气态污染物(SO2、NOx、NH3、VOCs)和一次颗粒物在静稳天气中难以扩散而迅速累积,气态污染物发生二次转化形成硝酸铵、硫酸铵,而颗粒物之间通过碰撞形成二次颗粒物并发生不同程度的混合,从而导致大气能见度下降,以上是石家庄市冬季灰霾形成的主要原因.     

Oxidation of SO2 in thin water films containing NH3

The reaction between NH₃ and SO₂ in thin water films was studied with a focus on the formation of sulfate. The reactions were conducted at 5 and 60% relative humidities or partial pressure of water vapor and at 0.04, 0.16 or 0.20 atm O₂ for temperatures between 20 and 50°C using a flow reactor and static flask reactors. In the presence of water vapor, the oxidation of SO₂ to sulfate was observed only when NH₃ was present. The product was primarily (NH₄)₂SO₄. Conversion of as much as 81% of the SO₂ to sulfate was observed after 10 min of reaction when the initial concentrations of SO₂ and NH₃ were 1 ppm and the relative humidity was 60%. Conversion was only 1–3% when NH₃ and/or water vapor were absent from the system. The surface of the reactor was found to influence the reaction by providing a place for a film of liquid water to form, and for the first several hours of reaction in the film, th e rate of sulfate formation was observed to be faster than oxidation in liquid water. In general, these results suggest that thin water films on environmental surfaces play a greater role in the deposition of atmospheric gases and the accumulation of their reaction products on surfaces than previously considered.     

Seasonal variation and source apportionment of organic and inorganic compounds in PM2.5 and PM10 particulates in Beijing, China

The distribution and source of the solvent-extractable organic and inorganic components in PM 2.5(aerodynamics equivalent diameter below 2.5 microns),and PM 10(aerodynamics equivalent diameter below 10 microns) fractions of airborne particles were studied weekly from September 2006 to August 2007 in Beijing.The extracted organic and inorganic compounds identified in both particle size ranges consisted of n-alkanes,PAHs(polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons),fatty acids and water soluble ions.The potential emission sources of these organic compounds were reconciled by combining the values of n-alkane carbon preference index(CPI),%waxC n,selected diagnostic ratios of PAHs and principal component analysis in both size ranges.The mean cumulative concentrations of n-alkanes reached 1128.65ng/m3 in Beijing,74% of which(i.e.,831.7ng/m3) was in the PM 2.5 fraction,PAHs reached 136.45ng/m3(113.44ng/m3 or 83% in PM 2.5),and fatty acids reached 436.99ng/m3(324.41ng/m3 or 74% in PM 2.5),which resulted in overall enrichment in the fine particles.The average concentrations of SO42-,NO3-,and NH4+ were 21.3±15.2,6.1±1.8,12.5±6.1μg/m3 in PM 2.5,and 25.8±15.5,8.9±2.6,16.9±9.5μg/m3 in PM 10,respectively.These three secondary ions primarily existed as ammonium sulfate((NH4)2SO4),ammonium bisulfate(NH4HSO4) and ammonium nitrate(NH4NO3).The characteristic ratios of PAHs revealed that the primary sources of PAHs were coal combustion,followed by gasoline combustion.The ratios of stearic/palmitic acid indicated the major contribution of vehicle emissions to fatty acids in airborne particles.The major alkane sources were biogenic sources and fossil fuel combustion.The major sources of PAHs were vehicular emission and coal combustion.     

Fe2O3 particles as superior catalysts for low temperature selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3

Fe203 particle catalysts were experimentally studied in the low temperature selective catalytic reduction （SCR） of NO with NH3. The effects of reaction temperature, oxygen concentration, [NH3]/[NO] molar ratio and residence time on SCR activity were studied. It was found that Fe203 catalysts had high activity for the SCR of NO with NH3 in a broad temperature range of 150-270℃, and more than 95% NO conversion was obtained at 180℃ when the molar ratio [NH3]/[NO] = 1, the residence time was 0.48 seconds and 02 volume fraction was 3%. In addition, the effect of SO2 on SCR catalytic activity was also investigated at the temperature of 180℃. The results showed that deactivation of the Fe2O3 particles occurred due to the presence of SO2 and the NO conversion decreased from 99.2% to 58% in 240 min, since SO2 gradually decreased the catalytic activity of the catalysts. In addition, X-ray diffraction, Thermogravimetric analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to characterize the fresh and deactivated Fe2O3 catalysts. The results showed that the deactivation caused by SO2 was due to the formation of metal sulfates and ammonium sulfates on the catalyst surface during the de-NO reaction, which could cause pore plugging and result in suppression of the catalytic activity.     

Sulfur dioxide oxidation in laboratory clouds

SO₂ oxidation in the presence of NH₃ was studied in a mixing-type continuous-flow cloud chamber. NaCl and soot particles (∼5–15 μ m⁻³) were used as cloud condensation nuclei. Cloud liquid water content was varied between 0.2 and 3 g m⁻³. SO₂ and NH₃ concentrations were 0.6 and 1.1 ppm, respectively. The contact time between the SO₂ and the cloud drops was varied from 8 s to 3 min. Up to 80% of the input SO₂ can be oxidized within short contact times in the presence of NH₃ and when the water is in the condensed cloud-drop phase. Negligible sulfate formation was observed in the absence of the liquid phase regardless of the presence or absence of NH₃. No significant dependence of the oxidation on the cloud condensation nuclei type nor the contact time was found. This in-cloud SO₂ oxidation is much faster than predicted by S(IV) oxidation by molecular oxygen measured in bulk solutions.     

Interactions of aerosols (ammonium sulfate,ammonium nitrate and ammonium chloride) and of gases (HCl,HNO3) with fogwater

The concentrations of aerosols (NH₄NO₃, (NH₄)₂SO₄ and NH₄Cl) and of gases (HCl_(g), HNO_3(g), NH_3(g) were determined by denuder methods under different conditions (in the absence of fog, before, during and after fog events). At this site situated in an urban region, high concentrations of the gaseous strong acids HCl_(g) and HNO_3(g) are observed. NH₄Cl and NH₄NO₃ aerosols represent a major fraction of the Cl⁻ and NO₃⁻ aerosols (<2.4 μm)collected by denuders. During a fog event, very high concentrations of SO₄²⁻ were found in small aerosols, which are attributed to the aqueous phase oxidation of SO₂ under the influence of high pH due to the presence of NH₃. Differences in SO₄²⁻ concentrations measured in aerosols (<2.4 μm) and in fog droplets were probably due to mass-transport limitations of the SO₂ oxidation. Ammonium sulfate aerosols represent in some cases a significant fraction of the total S present (SO_2(g) + SO₄²⁻. Soluble aerosols and gases contribute to the composition of fogwater and are released again after fog dissipation.     

Online single particle measurement of fireworks pollution during Chinese New Year in Nanning

Time-resolved single-particle measurements were conducted during Chinese New Year in Nanning, China. Firework displays resulted in a burst of SO_2, coarse mode, and accumulation mode(100–500 nm) particles. Through single particle mass spectrometry analysis, five different types of particles(fireworks-metal, ash, dust, organic carbon-sulfate(OC-sulfate), biomass burning) with different size distributions were identified as primary emissions from firework displays. The fireworks-related particles accounted for more than70% of the total analyzed particles during severe firework detonations. The formation of secondary particulate sulfate and nitrate during firework events was investigated on single particle level. An increase of sulfite peak(80SO_3~-) followed by an increase of sulfate peaks(97HSO_4~-+ 96SO_4~-) in the mass spectra during firework displays indicated the aqueous uptake and oxidation of SO_2 on particles. High concentration of gaseous SO_2, high relative humidity and high particle loading likely promoted SO_2 oxidation. Secondary nitrate formed through gas-phase oxidation of NO_2 to nitric acid, followed by the condensation into particles as ammonium nitrate. This study shows that under worm, humid conditions, both primary and secondary aerosols contribute to the particulate air pollution during firework displays.     

广州干湿季典型灰霾过程水溶性离子成分对比分析

利用广州气象台2011年地面逐时能见度和相对湿度数据,以及广州番禺南村大气成分站2011年逐时Marga数据、PM数据,对比分析了一次湿季(4—9月)灰霾过程和干季(10月—次年3月)灰霾过程的污染特征.研究表明,相对干季灰霾过程,湿季灰霾过程颗粒物浓度较低,且细粒子所占比例较高;由于湿季较干季光化学反应较为活跃及可能受气象因素的不同影响,导致干湿季灰霾过程颗粒物浓度的总体变化趋势相反;湿季灰霾过程二次无机离子(SO_4~(2-)、NH_4~+和NO_3~-)占PM_(2.5)质量百分比的76%,是PM_(2.5)的主要成分;干季灰霾过程二次无机离子(SO_4~(2-)、NH_4~+和NO_3~-)仅占PM_(2.5)质量百分比的34%;湿季硫氧化率(Sulfur Oxidation Ratio,SOR)、氮氧化率(Nitrogen Oxidation Ratio,NOR)值大于干季,说明二次离子对湿季灰霾的贡献比干季要大;湿季灰霾过程中气溶胶酸性比干季弱.根据相关性分析结果可知,湿季灰霾过程中,NH_4~+主要与SO_4~(2-)结合,Na+主要与Cl-及NO_3~-结合,K+主要与Cl-和NO_3~-结合,极少部分与SO_4~(2-)结合;而在干季灰霾过程中,NH_4~+除了与SO_4~(2-)结合之外,还以NH_4NO_3和NH_4Cl的形式存在,K~+主要与Cl~-和SO_4~(2-)结合,Na+主要与Cl~-及SO_4~(2-)结合.     

Two options to explain the ammonia gap in The Netherlands

This paper addresses two hypothesis that try to explain the difference observed between the estimated NH₃ emission levels in The Netherlands and those indicated by atmospheric measurements, the so called ‘ammonia gap’: the role of SO₂ emissions regulating ambient NH₃ concentrations through co-deposition, and long-term NH₃ emissions after slurry injection. It was found that throughfall measurements of NH₄⁺ could not be used as indicator for changes in NH₃ emissions. The throughfall deposition of NH₄⁺ is in close equilibrium to SO₄²⁻ and NO₃⁻ and is thus regulated by the equilibrium of ambient NH₃ and NH₄⁺ in wet deposition and canopy water layers. When SO₂ emissions decrease, the amount of available SO₄²⁻ decreases, which imposes a limit on the deposition of (NH₄)₂SO₄. Long-term emissions of NH₃ after application of manure were monitored using a new technique, which continuously measures the concentration of NH₃ in a cross-section of the emission plume downwind of the source. The emissions could be registered for 3 weeks after application of manure. The results indicate that the long-term emissions only contribute 1–2% to the total emission level. Both the effect of SO₂ on the NH₃ deposition levels and the long-term emission fluxes are not enough to explain the observed ammonia gap. It seems that several counteracting effects, some of them emerging from the new emission reduction regulations, contribute to the ammonia gap. An integrated approach to abate ammonia emissions is, therefore, needed. The implementation and regulation of production ceilings for reactive nitrogen might be a good option.     

Removal of metals by sorghum plants from contaminated land

The growth of high biomass crops facilitated by optimal of agronomic practices has been considered as an alternative to phytoremediation of soils contaminated by heavy metals. A field trial was carried out to evaluate the phytoextraction efficiency of heavy metals by three varieties of sweet sorghum (Sorghum biocolor L.), a high biomass energy plant. Ethylene diamine tetraacetate (EDTA), ammonium nitrate (NH₄NO₃) and ammonium sulphate ((NH₄)₂SO₄) were tested for their abilities to enhance the removal of heavy metals Pb, Cd, Zn, and Cu by sweet sorghum from a contaminated agricultural soil. Sorghum plants always achieved the greatest removal of Pb by leaves and the greatest removal of Cd, Zn and Cu by stems. There was no significant difference among the Keller, Rio and Mray varieties of sweet sorghums in accumulating heavy metals. EDTA treatment was more efficient than ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulphate in promoting Pb accumulation in sweet sorghum from the contaminated agricultural soil. The application of ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulphate increased the accumulation of both Zn and Cd in roots of sorghum plants. Results from this study suggest that cropping of sorghum plants facilitated by agronomic practices may be a sustainable technique for partial decontamination of heavy metal contaminated soils.     

Effects of urea and (NH4)2SO4 on nitrification and acidification of Ultisols from Southern China

The mechanisms for the effects of ammonium-based fertilizers on soil acidification in subtropical regions are not well understood. Two Ultisols collected from cropland and a tea garden in Anhui and Jiangxi Provinces in subtropical southern China, respectively, were used to study the effects of urea and (NH₄)₂SO₄ on the nitrification and acidification of soils with incubation experiments. Nitrification occurred at very low pH with no N fertilizer added and led to lowering of the soil pH by 0.53 and 0.30 units for the soils from Jiangxi and Anhui, respectively. Addition of urea accelerated nitrification and soil acidification in both Ultisols; while nitrification was inhibited by the addition of (NH₄)₂SO₄, and greater input of (NH₄)₂SO₄ led to greater inhibition of nitrification. Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) played an important role in nitrification in cropland soil under acidic conditions. Addition of urea increased the soil pH at the early stages of incubation due to hydrolysis and stimulated the increase in the AOB population, and thus accelerated nitrification and soil acidification. At the end of incubation, the pH of Ultisol from Jiangxi had decreased by 1.25, 1.54 and 1.84 units compared to maximum values for the treatments with 150, 300 and 400 mg/kg of urea-N added, respectively; the corresponding figures were 0.95, 1.25 and 1.69 for the Ultisol from Anhui. However, addition of (NH₄)₂SO₄ inhibited the increase in the AOB population and thus inhibited nitrification and soil acidification. Soil pH for the treatments with 300 and 400 mg/kg of (NH₄)₂SO₄-N remained almost constant during the incubation. AOB played an important role in nitrification of the cropland soil under acidic conditions. Addition of urea stimulated the increase in the AOB population and thus accelerated nitrification and soil acidification; while addition of (NH₄)₂SO₄ inhibited the increase in the AOB population and thus inhibited nitrification.     

Use of zeolitized coal fly ash in the simultaneous removal of ammonium and phosphate from aqueous solution

Discharge of wastewater containing nitrogen and phosphate can cause eutrophication. Therefore, the development of an efficient material for the immobilization of the nutrients is important. In this study, a low calcium fly ash and high calcium fly ash were converted into zeolite using the hydrothermal method. The removal of ammonium and phosphate that coexist in aqueous solution by the synthesized zeolites were studied. The results showed that zeolitized fly ash could efficiently eliminate ammonium and phosphate at the same time. Saturation of zeolite with Ca²⁺ rather than Na⁺ favored the removal of both ammonium and phosphate because the cation exchange reaction by the NH₄ ⁺ resulted in the release of Ca²⁺ into the solution and precipitation of Ca²⁺ with PO₄ ³⁻ followed. An increase in the temperature elevated the immobilization of phosphate whereas it abated the removal of ammonium. Nearly 60% removal efficiency for ammonium was achieved in the neutral pH range from 5.5 to 10.5, while the increase or decrease in pH out of the neutral range lowered the adsorption. In contrast, the removal of phosphate approached 100% at a pH lower than 5.0 or higher than 9.0, and less phosphate was immobilized at neutral pH. However, there was still a narrow pH range from 9.0 to 10.5 favoring the removal of both ammonium and phosphate. It was concluded that the removal of ammonium was caused by cation exchange; the contribution of NH₃ volatilization to immobilization at alkaline conditions (up to pH level of 11.4) was limited. With respect to phosphate immobilization, the mechanism was mainly the formation of precipitate as Ca₃(PO₄)₂ within the basic pH range or as FePO₄ and AlPO₄ within acidic pH range.
