Characterization particulate matter from several Chinese cooking dishes and implications in health effects

Cooking fume produced by oil and food at a high temperature releases large amount of fine particulate matter(PM) which have a potential hazard to human health. This chamber study investigated particle emission characteristics originated from using four types of oil(soybean oil, olive oil, peanut oil and lard) and different kinds of food materials(meat and vegetable). The corresponding emission factors(EFs) of number, mass, surface area and volume for particles were discussed. Temporal variation of size-fractionated particle concentration showed that olive oil produced the highest number PM concentration for the entire cooking process. Multiple path particle dosimetry(MPPD) model was performed to predict deposition in the human respiratory tract. Results showed that the pulmonary airway deposition fraction was the largest. It was also found that particles produced from olive oil led to the highest deposition. We strongly recommend minimizing the moisture content of ingredients before cooking and giving priority to the use of peanut oil instead of olive oil to reduce human exposure to PM.

通过电沉积法在玻碳板(GC)电极上负载钯镍双金属,并利用正交实验对其进行循环伏安(CV)研究. CV结果表明,钯镍双金属比钯、镍单金属具有更大的氢吸附峰值,可以在- 500 mV(以Hg/Hg2SO4 为参比电极)左右获得- 24.83 mA的氢吸附峰.扫描电镜分析(SEM)表明,镍的加入改变了钯颗粒在GC表面的分布形态,钯镍双金属颗粒形貌明显不同于钯、镍单金属颗粒,钯镍双金属颗粒粒径介于钯、镍单金属颗粒粒径之间.实验考察了脱氯电流、脱氯时间对三氯甲烷去除率的影响.三氯甲烷的去除率随脱氯电流的增大而增大,随脱氯时间的延长而提高.在优化条件下制备的Pd-Ni/GC电极在0.5 mA、180 min的脱氯条件下对三氯甲烷的去除率为42.53%.可以推测,随着脱氯时间的继续延长,三氯甲烷去除率可得到进一步提高.

Improving biodegradation potential of domestic wastewater by manipulating the size distribution of organic matter

Carbon source is a critical constraint on nutrient removal in domestic wastewater treatment. However, the functions of particulate organic matter (POM) and some organics with high molecular weight (HMW) are overlooked in the conventional process, as they cannot be directly assimilated into cells during microbial metabolism. This further aggravates the problem of carbon source shortage and thus affects the effluent quality. Therefore, to better characterize organic matter (OM) based MW distribution, microfiltration/ultrafiltration/nanofiltration (MF/UF/NF) membranes were used in parallel to fractionate OM, which obtained seven fractions. Hydrolysis acidification (HA) was adopted to manipulate the MW distribution of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and further explore the correlation between molecular size and biodegradability. Results showed that HA pretreatment of wastewater not only promoted transformation from POM to DOM, but also boosted biodegradability. After 8 hr of HA, the concentration of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) increased by 65%, from the initial value of 20.25 to 33.48 mg/L, and the biodegradability index (BOD5 (biochemical oxygen demand)/SCOD (soluble chemical oxygen demand)) increased from 0.52 to 0.74. Using MW distribution analysis and composition optimization, a new understanding on the characteristics of organics in wastewater was obtained, which is of importance to solving low C/N wastewater treatment in engineering practice.
