Mercury measurement and control in a CO2-enriched flue gas

Oxycombustion is being considered as a promising solution to carbon capture and sequestration. Standard sampling and measurement methods may or may not be valid under oxycombustion conditions because the flue gas differs significantly from that of conventional air-blown coal combustion.Bench-scale tests were conducted to evaluate the measurement validity of continuous mercury monitors (CMMs), with and without a flue gas preconditioning unit, in a simulated oxycombustion flue gas with varied CO₂ concentrations. Tests also included mercury capture with activated carbon in typical oxyfuel combustion flue gas. Research data indicated that highly concentrated CO₂ streams affect the accuracy of the mass flow rate and the subsequent gaseous mercury measurement, although this is specific to the type of CMM. Concentrated CO₂ streams also induced solid precipitation in the wet-chemistry conversion unit and resulted in a biased measurement of the gas-phase mercury. Flue gas dilution appeared to provide accurate measurement of total gas-phase mercury and be applicable to mercury measurement in highly concentrated CO₂ streams, although mercury speciation appeared to be problematic and will require additional modification and validation. Mercury capture with activated carbon under CO₂-enriched conditions showed similar performance to typical high-acid coal combustion flue gas.     

室内氢气泄漏扩散的数值模拟

氢能是有发展前景的新型能源之一,氢气的安全储存是氢能应用必须解决的问题。本文建立了基于大容量金属储氢装置的室内氢气泄漏扩散模型,利用计算流体力学软件FLUENT,对室内储氢罐的泄漏扩散过程进行数值模拟,得到了氢气泄漏扩散的速度分布、浓度分布。分析数值模拟结果,得出在该模拟条件下,氢气泄漏时的流动状态为射流湍流;泄漏后上浮扩散,空间密闭时积累于室顶;通风条件下大部分区域的氢气浓度仍然高于安全限值。通过数值模拟,总结出氢气在室内环境下的泄漏扩散规律,可为氢气泄漏事故的处理消防安全设置提供依据。

Size distribution and composition of phosphorus in the East Tiao River, China: the significant role of colloids

The environmental risk of aquatic phosphorus (P) critically depends on its mobility and bioavailability, both of which are greatly affected by the size distribution and composition of P. The size distribution (particulate, colloidal and truly dissolved phase) of P, composed of molybdate reactive P (MRP) and molybdate unreactive P (MUP), was determined at twenty-three typical sections of the East Tiao River, China in the plum rain season. Results indicated particulate P was dominant followed by the truly dissolved P, while colloidal P was quantitatively the lowest in the whole river. From upstream to downstream, particulate P sharply increased, along with a slight decrease of truly dissolved P. However, colloidal P remained at a relatively stable level in the whole river, ranging from below detection limit to 0.025 mg L(-1), 0 to 13.4% of total P (TP). Furthermore, colloidal MRP exhibited a rising trend downriver as compared to upriver, with the notable transfer of MRP from the truly dissolved phase to particulate and colloidal phases. Particle concentration effect for colloids, observed in the study of MRP distribution, further corroborated the role of colloids in MRP solid/liquid partitioning. These observations, in this large-scale field investigation, fitted the "colloidal pumping" hypothesis. It may be concluded that colloids act as the intermediate and buffer in the dynamically balanced transfer of P from truly dissolved phase to large particulate phase, having a significant role in size distribution of P.     

Formation and modeling of disinfection by-products in drinking water of six cities in China

Water quality parameters including TOC, UV(254), pH, chlorine dosage, bromide concentration and disinfection by-products were measured in water samples from 41 water treatment plants of six selected cities in China. Chloroform, bromodichloromethane, dibromochloromethane, dichloroacetic acid and trichloroacetic acid were the major disinfection by-products in the drinking water of China. Bromoform and dibromoacetic acid were also detected in many water samples. Higher concentrations of trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids were measured in summer compared to winter. The geographical variations in DBPs showed that TTHM levels were higher in Zhengzhou and Tianjin than other selected cities. And the HAA5 levels were highest in Changsha and Tianjin. The modeling procedure that predicts disinfection by-products formation was studied and developed using artificial neural networks. The performance of the artificial neural networks model was excellent (r > 0.84).

Influence of fuel mass load, oxygen supply and burning rate on emission factor and size distribution of carbonaceous particulate matter from indoor corn straw burning

The uncertainty in emission estimation is strongly associated with the variation in emission factor (EF),which could be influenced by a variety of factors such as fuel properties,stove type,fire management and even methods used in measurements.The impacts of these factors are complicated and often interact with each other.Controlled burning experiments were conducted to investigate the influences of fuel mass load,air supply and burning rate on the emissions and size distributions of carbonaceous particulate matter (PM) from indoor corn straw burning in a cooking stove.The results showed that the EFs of PM (EFPM),organic carbon (EFOC) and elemental carbon (EFEC) were independent of the fuel mass load.The differences among them under different burning rates or air supply amounts were also found to be insignificant (p > 0.05) in the tested circumstances.PM from the indoor corn straw burning was dominated by fine PM with diameter less than 2.1 μm,contributing 86.4%±3.9% of the total.The size distribution of PM was influenced by the burning rate and air supply conditions.On average,EF PM,EF OC and EF EC for corn straw burned in a residential cooking stove were (3.84±1.02),(0.846±0.895) and (0.391±0.350) g/kg,respectively.EF PM,EF OC and EF EC were found to be positively correlated with each other (p < 0.05),but they were not significantly correlated with the EF of co-emitted CO,suggesting that special attention should be paid to the use of CO as a surrogate for other incomplete combustion pollutants.

TGGE法对水源热泵水体中细菌种群多样性及动态变化的研究

采用TGGE(Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis)方法对水源热泵水体的细菌群落结构进行了分析,首先提取水体微生物的总DNA,扩增16S V3区片段,然后进行TGGE分析。TGGE图谱的初步分析结果表明,安康湖水样中的细菌丰富度较高。在空调制冷期,细菌群落结构波动较大;而在空调制热期,细菌群落结构波动较小,说明夏季空调制冷期对水体的影响较大。相似性及聚类分析表明,空调运行的持续时间的长短及运行负荷的大小决定热泵尾水排放所影响的水域范围,尤其是对取水口处的影响。序列分析结果显示,水体中细菌属于3大类群:变形杆菌(Proteobacteria)、厚壁菌(Firmicutes)和拟杆菌(Bacteroides)。
