MoS2 quantum dots based MoS2/HKUST-1 composites for the highly efficient catalytic oxidation of elementary mercury

Due to the ever-tightening regulation on mercury emission in recent decades, there is an urgent need to develop novel materials for the removal of elemental mercury at coal-fired power plants. In this study, a series of MoS₂ quantum dots (QDs)-based MoS₂/HKUST-1 composite materials were prepared. It is found that MoS₂ QDs were encapsulated by HKUST-1 and enhanced the crystallinity and specific surface area of HKUST-1. The MoS₂/HKUST-1 showed excellent performance in catalytic oxidation of Hg⁰ as compared with pristine HKUST-1. It is found that surface layer of lattice oxygens is active and participates in Hg⁰ oxidation, while the consumption of surface oxygens then leads to the formation of oxygen vacancies on the surface. These vacancies are effective in the adsorption and dissociation of O₂, which subsequently participates in the oxidation of Hg⁰. Moreover, the study on the influence of commonly seen gas components, such as SO₂, NO, NH₃ and H₂O, etc., on Hg⁰ oxidation demonstrated that synergistic effects exist among these gas species. It is found that the presence of NO promotes the oxidation of Hg⁰ using oxygen as the oxidant.     

Enhancing anoxic denitrification of low C/N ratio wastewater with novel ZVI composite carriers

External organic carbon sources are needed to provide electron donors for the denitrification of wastewater with a low COD/NO₃^--N（C/N） ratio, increasing the treatment cost. The economic strategy is to enhance the bioactivity and/or biodiversity of denitrifiers to efficiently utilize organic substances in wastewater. In this study, novel zero-valent iron（ZVI） composite carriers were prepared and implemented in a suspended carrier biofilm reactor to enhance the bioactivity an...     

Ozone episodes during and after the 2018 Chinese National Day holidays in Guangzhou: Implications for the control of precursor VOCs

The impact of reducing industrial emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on ozone (O₃) pollution is of wide concern particularly in highly industrialized megacities. In this study, O₃, nitrogen oxides (NOx) and VOCs were measured at an urban site in the Pearl River Delta region during the 2018 Chinese National Day Holidays and two after-holiday periods (one with ozone pollution and another without). O₃ pollution occurred throughout the 7-day holidays even industrial emissions of VOCs were passively reduced due to temporary factory shutdowns, and the toluene to benzene ratios dropped from ∼10 during non-holidays to ∼5 during the holidays. Box model (AtChem2-MCM) simulations with the input of observation data revealed that O₃ formation was all VOC-limited, and alkenes had the highest relative incremental reactivity (RIR) during the holiday and non-holiday O₃ episodes while aromatics had the highest RIR during the non-pollution period. Box model also demonstrated that even aromatics decreased proportionally to levels with near-zero contributions of industrial aromatic solvents, O₃ concentrations would only decrease by less than 20% during the holiday and non-holiday O₃ episodes and ozone pollution in the periods could not be eliminated. The results imply that controlling emissions of industrial aromatic solvents might be not enough to eliminate O₃ pollution in the region, and more attention should be paid to anthropogenic reactive alkenes. Isoprene and formaldehyde were among the top 3 species by RIRs in all the three pollution and non-pollution periods, suggesting substantial contribution to O₃ formation from biogenic VOCs.     

冬季巢湖SPOM来源、空间变化及营养盐效应

为研究枯水期巢湖水体悬浮颗粒物（SPM）营养元素组成及其潜在环境效应,分析了2020年1月巢湖18个采样点表层水体SPM含量、颗粒有机质（SPOM）含量及氮磷组成,并利用颗粒有机碳、氮同位素组成及C/N研究了冬季巢湖SPOM的来源及其空间变化. 结果表明,悬浮颗粒物总磷(PP)浓度为0.032~0.065 mg/L,平均值为0.049 mg/L;悬浮颗粒物无机磷(PIP)浓度为0.018~0.046 mg/L,平均值为0.032 mg/L,是PP的主要组分,二者浓度均呈西湖区>东湖区>中湖区的空间分布特征. 悬浮颗粒物总氮(PN)浓度为0.254~0.424 mg/L,平均值为0.342 mg/L,其中悬浮颗粒物有机氮(PON)占比较高,表明颗粒态氮以湖泊内源性有机来源为主. 巢湖表层水体SPOM的δ13C范围在?28.72‰~?26.68‰之间,δ15N为3.34‰~9.97‰,C/N为2.51±0.95,指示冬季枯水期水体SPOM主要来自内源水生生物碎屑,而陆源径流输入对湖泊颗粒物影响较小. 研究显示:冬季巢湖悬浮颗粒有机质主要来自湖泊内源,具有潜在的营养盐效应,污染控制需要相应的策略.      

渤、黄海在低氧形成期与消亡期生源要素的分布差异及响应特征

近年来,渤、黄海海域呈现溶解氧浓度降低并导致季节性低氧的特征,对海洋生态环境形成潜在危害。在此背景下,本文基于2011年6月（低氧形成期）和2011年11－12月初（低氧消亡期）在渤、黄海的观测数据,通过分析水体表观耗氧量（AOU）、pH、溶解无机碳（DIC）及营养盐之间的相关关系,探讨了生源要素在低氧形成期与消亡期的变化特征及主要控制机制。结果表明,生物的光合作用与有机物的降解过程是调控低氧事件前后渤海生源要素变化的主要因素之一,而黄海底层水体有机物的降解过程是调控水体溶解氧浓度及营养盐浓度变化的主要原因之一。

Daily Bank Erosion Rates in the Lower Yellow River Before and After Dam Construction

During the period of water impoundment and sediment detention of the Sanmenxia Reservoir, riverbank erosion processes played a key role in the channel evolution of the Lower Yellow River (LYR). However, research into bank erosion rates of the LYR has been neglected due to the lack of direct field monitoring. In this study, an indirect method is proposed to determine bank erosion rates at daily time scales by outlining a detailed calculation procedure using measured hydrological data. A total of 810 data points of daily bank erosion rates before and after the construction of Sanmenxia Dam was calculated at seven hydrometric sections along the LYR, with the corresponding values of the bank stability coefficient and the width‐to‐depth ratio also being calculated. Empirical relations were then developed to estimate the daily bank erosion rates, using these parameters at the sections. Temporal and spatial variability in daily bank erosion rates in the LYR before and after dam construction were also investigated, revealing that: (1) the bank erosion rates had a mean value of 16.7‐29.1 m/day in the braided reach, with a maximum value of 290.0 m/day, while they were relatively low in the meandering reach, with a mean value of 2.5 m/day; (2) the erosion rates before dam construction were slightly greater than those after dam construction, with the difference reaching 5‐10 m/day in the braided reach, decreasing in the transitional reach gradually, and being slight in the meandering reach.
