Metal chlorides loaded on activated carbon to capture elemental mercury

Activated carbon (AC) was considered to be an effective sorbent to control mercury in combustion systems. However, its capture capacity was low and it required a high carbon-to-mercury mass ratio. AC loaded with catalyst showed a high elemental mercury (Hg0) capture capacity due to large surface area of AC and high oxidization ability of catalyst. In this study, several metal chlorides and metal oxides were used to promote the sorption capacity of AC. As a result, metal chlorides were better than metal oxides loaded on AC to remove gaseous mercury. X-ray diffractometer (XRD), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) and specific surface area by Brunauer- Emmett-Teller method (BET) analysis showed the main mechanisms: first, AC had an enormous surface area for loading enough MClx; second, Cl and MxOy were generated during pyrogenation of MClx; finally, there were lots of active elements such as Cl and MxOy which could react with elemental mercury and convert it to mercury oxide and mercury chloride. The HgO and HgCl2 might be released from AC’s porous structure by thermo regeneration. A catalytic chemisorption mechanism predominates the sorption process of elemental mercury. As Co and Mn were valence variable metal elements, their catalytic effect on Hg0 oxidization may accelerate both oxidation and halogenation of Hg0. The sorbents loaded with metal chlorides possessed a synergistic function of catalytic effect of valence variable metal and chlorine oxidation.     

Carbonaceous particles in the atmosphere and precipitation of the Nam Co region, central Tibet

A continuous air and precipitation sampling for carbonaceous particles was conducted in a field observatory beside Nam Co, Central Tibetan Plateau during July of 2006 through January of 2007. Organic carbon (OC) was the dominant composition of the carbonaceous particles both in the atmosphere (1660 ng/m³) and precipitation (476 ng/g) in this area, while the average elemental carbon (BC) concentrations in the atmosphere and precipitation were only 82 ng/m³ and 8 ng/g, respectively. Very high OC/BC ratio suggested local secondary organic carbon could be a dominant contribution to OC over the Nam Co region, while BC could be mainly originated from Southern Asia, as indicated by trajectory analysis and aerosol optical depth. Comparison between the BC concentrations measured in Lhasa, those at “Nepal Climate Observatory at Pyramid (NCO-P)” site on the southern slope of the Himalayas, and Nam Co suggested BC in the Nam Co region reflected a background with weak anthropogenic disturbances and the emissions from Lhasa might have little impact on the atmospheric environment here, while the pollutants from the Indo-Gangetic Basin of Southern Asia could be transported to the Nam Co region by both the summer monsoon and the westerly.     

有机修饰土对苯酚的吸附动力学

以十六烷基三甲基溴化铵单一修饰（CB）和十六烷基三甲基溴化铵+十二烷基磺酸钠混合修饰（CS）土耕层和黏化层土样,采用批处理法通过不同的速度参数研究了修饰土样对苯酚的吸附动力学特征,并对其机制进行了探讨.结果表明,在2个温度下,土两层次修饰土样吸附苯酚的总吸附速度V_t和快速吸附反应速度V_f在低添加浓度下分别为2.64～3.31 μg·(g·h)^-1和39.19～61.23 μg·(g·h)^-1,在较高添加浓度下分别为13.09～16.30 μg·(g·h)^-1和247.87～325.64 μg·(g·h)^-1,耕层土样V_t、V_f的大小顺序均为100 CB>120 CS>50 CB>CK,而黏化层土样均为100 CB>50 CB>120 CS>CK.结果证实土两层次土样的有机修饰能够显著加快对苯酚的吸附速度.苯酚的吸附反应分为快速反应和慢速反应2个阶段,总吸附反应以快速吸附反应为主,与快速反应有关的不同速度参数之间具有良好的相关性,而慢速吸附反应则影响不大.修饰土样快速反应和慢速反应的转折时间均小于2　h,且与吸附速度呈现相反的大小顺序.黏化层修饰土样对苯酚的吸附速度高于耕层修饰土样.吸附温度的升高、苯酚添加浓度的提高均可以加快修饰土样对苯酚的吸附反应速度.指数Ⅱ型动力学模型是描述修饰土样吸附苯酚的最佳模型.拟合参数A值与快速吸附反应相关的各项速度参数具有良好的相关性,而模型参数-B与转折时间具有良好的相关性,-B可以作为描述吸附反应速度的特征参数.修饰土样对苯酚的吸附机制以有机相对苯酚的疏水吸附为主.

水温和pH对饮用水中铝形态分布的影响

铝对输配水系统及人体健康的影响主要与其存在形态有关.本研究采用硫酸铝模拟配水考察了水温和pH对溶液中铝形态分布的影响情况.考察的主要铝形态包括单核铝、溶解铝、悬浮铝和多核铝;采用的形态分析方法为荧光分光光度法.结果表明:当pH=6.5时,悬浮铝为饮用水中铝的主要存在形态,在总铝中的质量分数为62.2%;而当pH>7.0时,单核铝为主要形态,且随反应时间的增加变化不大.各水质条件下的多核铝浓度均较低,且随反应时间的变化也不大.水温对铝形态的影响与pH是一致的,由pOH可将二者统一起来.通过调节pOH可以实现饮用水中铝形态的控制,这将对输配水系统的运行管理及铝毒性控制提供理论依据.

测定了在黄海采集的各种体长的鳀鱼(Engraulis japonicus)中6种痕量金属(Zn、Cu、Fe、Al、Mn和Sr)和3种主要元素(C、N和P)的浓度.除Zn浓度在4～5倍内变动外,其余5种痕量金属浓度的变动范围均接近或超过一个数量级;并且,这6种金属均显示出了浓度随体长增长而下降的趋势.对于3种主要元素,N和P的含量也与体长存在负相关关系,而C却显示出了强烈的正相关关系.聚类分析表明,Zn和Cu在鳀鱼内的浓度变化较为接近,可能验证了这两种金属与生物体内新陈代谢活动较为密切的性质;而其余4种金属的浓度变化规律更为接近,可能反映了陆源输入的影响.
