Characteristics of atmospheric volatile organic compounds in urban area of Beijing: Variations, photochemical reactivity and source apportionment

Atmospheric volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were observed by an on-line gas chromatography-flame ionization detector monitoring system from November 2016 to August 2017 in Beijing. The average concentrations were winter (40.27 ± 25.25 μg/m³) > autumn (34.25 ± 19.90 µg/m³) > summer (32.53 ± 17.39 µg/m³) > spring (24.72 ± 17.22 µg/m³). Although benzene (15.70%), propane (11.02%), ethane (9.32%) and n-butane (6.77%) were the most abundant species, ethylene (14.07%) and propene (11.20%) were the key reactive species to ozone formation potential (OFP), and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, m-xylene + p-xylene and o-xylene (54.13%) were the most reactive species to secondary organic aerosol formation potential (SOAFP). The diurnal and seasonal variations indicated that diesel vehicle emission during early morning, gasoline vehicle emission at the traffic rush hours and coal burning during the heating period might be important sources. Five major sources were further identified by positive matrix factorization (PMF). The vehicle exhaust (gasoline exhaust and diesel exhaust) was found to be contributed most to atmospheric VOCs, with 43.59%, 41.91%, 50.45% and 43.91%, respectively in spring, summer, autumn and winter; while solvent usage contributed least, with 11.10%, 7.13%, 14.00% and 19.87%, respectively. Biogenic emission sources (13.11%) were only identified in summer. However, both vehicle exhaust and solvent usage were identified to be the key sources considering contributions to the OFP and SOAFP. Besides, the contributions of combustion during heating period and gasoline evaporation source during warm seasons to OFP and SOAFP should not be overlooked.     

高温烟气静电除尘中试试验研究

为了研究在宽间距静电除尘器内部流动的大流量高温烟气中颗粒物的静电捕集特性,基于CFB锅炉中试试验平台设计并搭建了高温静电除尘中试装置.试验了板间距300mm、最高温度达到1020K的实际烟气中颗粒物的静电捕集特性,获得了放电电压、温度和烟气流速等关键因素对颗粒物的静电捕集的影响规律.实验结果表明,高温静电除尘器中烟气流速为0.3m/s,温度为1020K下达到了82.2%的除尘效率,证实了针对实际高温烟气,静电除尘器有较好的颗粒捕集效果.通过对比563K到1020K下的热态试验以及常温下的冷态试验,发现颗粒捕集效率随温度的上升迅速降低,这与高温下流速的上升、放电电压的降低以及气体黏性的增加有关.     

Effects of 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium nitrate on the microbes in brown soil

The toxicity of ionic liquids(ILs) on soil organisms has aroused wide attention due to their high-solubility. The present investigation focused on the toxicity of 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium nitrate([C_8mim]NO_3) on the microbial populations(bacteria, fungi, and actinomycetes), soil enzyme(urease, dehydrogenase, acid phosphatase, and β-glucosidase)activities, microbial community diversity using terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism(T-RFLP), and abundance of the ammonia monooxygenase(amoA) genes of ammonia-oxidizing archaea(AOA) and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria(AOB) using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(q-PCR) in brown soil at each trial with doses of 0, 1.0, 5.0,and 10.0 mg/kg on days 10, 20, 30, and 40. The contents of [C_8mim]NO_3 in soil were measured using high performance liquid chromatography with recoveries of 84.3% to 85.2%, and changed less than 10% during the experimental period. A significant decrease was observed from the bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes populations at 10.0 mg/kg, at which the urease activity was inhibited and the β-glucosidase activity was stimulated on days 20, 30, and 40. In addition, [C_8mim]NO_3 inhibited the dehydrogenase activity at 10 mg/kg on days 30 and 40 and the acid phosphatase activity on day 20. The diversity of the soil microbial community and the gene abundance of AOA-and AOB-amo A were also inhibited. Furthermore, the present investigation provided more scientific information for the toxicity evaluation of ILs in soil.     

Atmospheric isoprene and monoterpenes in a typical urban area of Beijing: Pollution characterization, chemical reactivity and source identification

Continuous observation of isoprene, α-pinene and β-pinene was carried out in a typical urban area of Beijing from March 2014 to February 2015, using an AirmoV OC online analyzer. Based on the analysis of the ambient level and variation characteristics of isoprene, α-pinene and β-pinene, the chemical reactivity was studied, and their sources were identified. Results showed that the concentrations of isoprene, α-pinene and β-pinene in the urban area of Beijing were lower than those in richly vegetated areas; the concentrations of isoprene were at a moderate level compared with those of previous studies of Beijing. Concentrations of isoprene, α-pinene and β-pinene showed different seasonal, monthly, daily and diurnal variations, and all of the three species showed higher level at night than those in the daytime as a whole, the variations of isoprene, α-pinene and β-pinene mainly influenced by emission of sources, photochemical reaction, and meteorological parameters. Isoprene was the largest contributor to the total OFP values than α-pinene and β-pinene. α-Pinene was the largest contributor to the total SOAFP values than isoprene and β-pinene in autumn, while isoprene was the largest one in other seasons. Isoprene, α-pinene and β-pinene were derived mainly from biological sources; and α-pinene level were also affected by industrial sources. To reduce the concentrations of isoprene, α-pinene and β-pinene, it is necessary to scientifically select urban green plant species, and more strict control measures should be taken to reduce the emission of α-pinene from industrial sources, such as artificial flavors and resins synthesis processes.
