Measurement of HONO flux using the aerodynamic gradient method over an agricultural field in the Huaihe River Basin, China

To investigate nitrous acid(HONO) levels and potential HONO sources above crop rotation fields. The HONO fluxes were measured by the aerodynamic gradient(AG) method from 14 December 2019 to 2 January 2020 over an agricultural field in the Huaihe River Basin. The ambient HONO levels were measured at two different heights(0.15 and 1.5 m), showing a typical diurnal cycle with low daytime levels and high nighttime levels. The upward HONO fluxes were mostly observed during the day, whereas deposition...     

Validation of a flow-through sampler for pesticides and polybrominated diphenyl ethers in air

At locations without access to the electrical grid, a flow-through sampler (FTS) collects large volumes of air for the analysis of semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs). To test its performance under field conditions, an FTS and a traditional pumped high volume air sampler, both using polyurethane foam (PUF) as sampling medium, were co-deployed at the campus of the University of Toronto Scarborough from August 2006 to June 2007. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and various pesticides were quantified in the samples taken by both samplers to test the FTS's applicability to relatively non-volatile and slightly polar SVOCs. Air concentrations in samples taken with the FTS over five 2-week periods compare favourably with the average of the concentrations in several 24-h active high volume samples taken during the same period. In particular, time trends, temperature dependence relationships, and isomer ratios show a reasonable agreement between the two sampling techniques. An empirical linear solvation energy relationship for predicting the apparent theoretical plate number of the PUF assembly used in the FTS illustrates the effect of chemical properties, as well as temperature and wind speed, on sampling efficiency. In the absence of electrical power, the FTS can collect SVOCs from large air volumes as reliably and quantitatively as traditional HiVol samplers, although without separating gas and particle phase.     

Characteristics of atmospheric non-methane hydrocarbons during haze episode in Beijing, China

This study firstly focused on non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) during three successive days with haze episode (16–18 August 2006) in Beijing. Concentrations of alkanes, alkenes, aromatic hydrocarbons, and ethyne all peaked at traffic rush hour, implying vehicular emission; and alkanes also peaked at non-traffic rush hour in the daytime, implying additional source. Especially, alkanes and aromatics clearly showed higher levels in the nighttime than that in the daytime, implying their active photochemical reactions in the daytime. Correlation coefficients (R ²) showed that propane, n-butane, i-butane, ethene, propene, and benzene correlated with ethyne (R ²?=?0.61–0.66), suggesting that their main source is vehicular emission; 2-methylpentane and n-hexane correlated with i-pentane (R ²?=?0.61–0.64), suggesting that gasoline evaporation is their main source; and ethylbezene, m-/p-xylene, and o-xylene correlated with toluene (R ²?=?0.60–0.79), suggesting that their main source is similar to that of toluene (e.g., solvent usage). The R ² of ethyne, i-pentane, and toluene with total NMHCs were 0.58, 0.76, and 0.60, respectively, indicating that ambient hydrocarbons are associated with vehicular emission, gasoline evaporation, and solvent usage. The sources of other hydrocarbons (e.g., ethane) might be natural gas leakage, biogenic emission, or long-range transport of air pollutants. Measured higher mean B/T ratio (0.78?±?0.27) was caused by the more intensive photochemical activity of toluene than benzene, still indicating the dominant emission from vehicles.     

氧化铝对煤矸石提铝废渣制备水玻璃的影响

以纯石英砂或煤矸石酸浸提铝废渣为原料,采用低温(850℃)纯碱烧结法制备水玻璃,考察了杂质Al2O3含量对原料中SiO2溶出率以及产品水玻璃模数的影响,通过电感耦合等离子发射光谱(ICP)、傅里叶红外光谱仪(FTIR)、X射线衍射仪(XRD)和热重分析(TGA)手段对原料和产物进行了分析和表征.结果表明,与纯石英砂为原料制备水玻璃相比,杂质Al2O3的存在降低了SiO2-Na2O体系的反应温度,但由于Al2O3会与反应体系中的SiO2和Na2O反应生成水不溶性的铝硅酸钠盐,导致实际可溶性SiO2的含量减少,降低了SiO2的溶出率和硅酸钠的模数.通过添加石英砂可控制提铝废渣中的A12O3含量低于5％,使提铝废渣中SiO2的溶出率达到90％以上,制得水玻璃模数达2.15.     

增蓝剂停留时间及对水质和浮游植物影响分析

水体遮光剂能干扰水下光照,抑制藻类生长。为了探讨水体遮光剂-增蓝剂在自然水体的作用情况,对围隔内增蓝剂的停留时间及水质、浮游藻类和沉水植物的变化特征进行分析。结果表明,当围隔水体中增蓝剂浓度为1 mg/L时,5周内其降解超过50%,9周后降解超过95%。与对照组相比,增蓝剂对围隔内总氮、总磷浓度无明显影响,易氧化成分的存在导致CODMn浓度升高至8.60 mg/L,但CODMn浓度随增蓝剂的降解逐步降至7.81 mg/L。在增蓝剂作用下水下光照度衰减明显,水深0.2 m处仅占水表面光强的21.16%,光衰减系数(k)为0.7 m-1。增蓝剂对藻类生长抑制作用明显,抑制率高达56.24%,但对金鱼藻生长无显著影响。

Research on low carbon management using a scientific classification method

This research is aimed at the rapid development of a low-carbon economy, in which we propose the classification and application of relevant management measures to affect the development of environmental management ideas and measures of the low-carbon economy, which we called as low carbon management measures. According to scientific analysis of the lowcarbon economy, we can divide low-carbon management measures into three parts: measures for reduction of carbon sources, carbon flow planning, and increase of carbon sinks. Furthermore, we list the advantages that China can utilize to develop its own low-carbon management measures. In the end, necessary adjustments to environmental management measures in China can be made according to this scientific classification.     

铅暴露对中华大蟾蜍耳后腺分泌蟾蜍甾烯的影响

采用半静水式实验方法,研究Pb~(2+)暴露30 d对中华大蟾蜍(Bufo bufo gargarizans Cantor)生理状态和耳后腺分泌蟾蜍甾烯水平的影响。结果表明,随Pb~(2+)浓度(0.68~5.46 mg·L~(-1))升高,蜕皮和自发活动减少,存活率下降。进一步采用液相-质谱检测技术发现,0.68 mg·L~(-1)Pb~(2+)暴露下,10种蟾蜍甾烯水平出现1.5倍以上变化。5.46 mg·L~(-1)Pb~(2+)暴露下,17种蟾蜍甾烯水平发生下调(1.5倍),其中bufarenogin水平显著下降(P0.05),其他物质水平与对照组无显著性差异。这说明Pb~(2+)暴露对蟾蜍耳后腺中蟾蜍甾烯物质具有潜在影响。
