Effect of alkaline earth metal promoter on catalytic activity of MnO2 for the complete oxidation of toluene

Herein, Na⁺ and Ca²⁺ are introduced to MnO₂ through cation-exchange method. The presence of Na⁺ and Ca²⁺ significantly enhance the catalytic activity of MnO₂ in toluene oxidation. Among them, the Ca-MnO₂ catalyst exhibits the best catalytic activity (T₅₀ = 194°C, T₉₀ = 215°C, E_a = 57.2 kJ/mol, reaction rate 8.40 × 10^?10 mol/(sec?m²) at 210°C. T₅₀ and T₉₀: the temperature of 50% and 90% toluene conversion; E_a: apparent activation energy) and possess high tolerance against 2.0 vol.% water vapor. Results reveal that the increased acidic sites of the MnO₂ sample can enhance the adsorption of gaseous toluene, and the mobility of oxygen species and the content of reactive oxygen species in the catalyst are significantly improved due to the formed oxygen vacancy. Thus these two factors result in excellent catalytic performance for toluene oxidation combining with the weak CO₂ adsorption ability.     

Influence of particle size on the aggregation behavior of nanoparticles: Role of structural hydration layer

More and more attention has been paid to the aggregation behavior of nanoparticles, but little research has been done on the effect of particle size. Therefore, this study systematically evaluated the aggregation behavior of nano-silica particles with diameter 130–480 nm at different initial particle concentration, pH, ionic strength, and ionic valence of electrolytes. The modified Smoluchowski theory failed to describe the aggregation kinetics for nano-silica particles with diameters less than 190 nm. Besides, ionic strength, cation species and pH all affected fast aggregation rate coefficients of 130 nm nanoparticles. Through incorporating structural hydration force into the modified Smoluchowski theory, it is found that the reason for all the anomalous aggregation behavior was the different structural hydration layer thickness of nanoparticles with various sizes. The thickness decreased with increasing of particle size, and remained basically unchanged for particles larger than 190 nm. Only when the distance at primary minimum was twice the thickness of structural hydration layer, the structural hydration force dominated, leading to the higher stability of nanoparticles. This study clearly clarified the unique aggregation mechanism of nanoparticles with smaller size, which provided reference for predicting transport and fate of nanoparticles and could help facilitate the evaluation of their environment risks.

为分析济南市PM_2.5中二次组分的时空变化和影响因素,对济南市春季(2019年5月16—25日)、秋季(2019年10月15—24日)和冬季(2019年12月17—2020年1月16日)4个典型点位的PM_2.5样品进行连续采样,并测定了PM_2.5中水溶性离子、有机碳(OC)和元素碳(EC)的含量。结果表明:物流交通区的二次组分质量浓度最高(56.13μg·m^?3),钢铁工业区的二次组分浓度比城市市区高,但是二次组分占比较城市市区低,清洁对照点的浓度和占比最低;济南市4个功能区SO₄^2?和NO₃^?转化率均高于0.1,除清洁对照点外,城市市区、钢铁工业区和物流交通区的SO₄^2?转化率明显高于NO₃^?转化率;济南市春季、秋季和冬季的ρ(NO₃^?)/ρ(SO₄^2?)分别为0.67、2.57和1.98,春季PM_2.5浓度以固定源贡献为主,秋季和冬季以移动源贡献为主;运用ISORROPIA热力学模型分析了含水量和pH对二次组分生成的影响,含水量会随着污染增大而增大,酸度和含水量对二次无机组分的转化机理产生影响,酸度会抑制二次无机组分的生成,而含水量会促进二次组分的生成;后向轨迹聚类分析结果表明,占比最高的轨迹(29.2%)来自东北方向的滨州和东营,基于潜在源贡献因子(WPSCF)和浓度权重轨迹(WCWT)分析PM_2.5中二次组分质量浓度的潜在污染源区域,SO₄^2?的主要贡献源区在济南市区北部的济阳区和东北方向的滨州、东营等,NO₃^?和NH₄⁺的主要贡献源区在济南市区北方向的济阳区、东北方向的章丘区和南方向的莱芜区等。该研究结果可为中国北方城市细颗粒物进一步的治理和防控提供数据支撑和理论依据。
