Physical characterization of aerosol particles during the Chinese New Year’s firework events

Measurements for particles 10 nm to 10 μm were taken using a Wide-range Particle Spectrometer during the Chinese New Year (CNY) celebrations in 2009 in Shanghai, China. These celebrations provided an opportunity to study the number concentration and size distribution of particles in an especial atmospheric pollution situation due to firework displays. The firework activities had a clear contribution to the number concentration of small accumulation mode particles (100–500 nm) and PM₁ mass concentration, with a maximum total number concentration of 3.8 × 10⁴ cm^?3. A clear shift of particles from nucleation and Aitken mode to small accumulation mode was observed at the peak of the CNY firework event, which can be explained by reduced atmospheric lifetimes of smaller particles via the concept of the coagulation sink. High particle density (2.7 g cm^?3) was identified as being particularly characteristic of the firework aerosols. Recalculated fine particles PM₁ exhibited on average above 150 μg m^?3 for more than 12 hours, which was a health risk to susceptible individuals. Integral physical parameters of firework aerosols were calculated for understanding their physical properties and further model simulation.     

Competition of coagulation sink and source rate: New particle formation in the Pearl River Delta of China

The coagulation sink and its role in new particle formation are investigated based on data obtained during the PRIDE-PRD2004 campaign at Xinken of Pearl River Delta, China. Analysis of size distributions and mode contributions of the coagulation sink show that the observed higher load of accumulation mode particles impose a significant effect on the coagulation sink and result in higher coagulation sinks at Xinken despite of the lower total particle number compared with other areas. Hence it is concluded that the higher coagulation sink may depress the occurrence frequency of new particle formation events. The strategies targeting at controlling accumulation mode particles may have influences on the frequency of new particle formation events at this area. The factors affecting the coagulation sink are evaluated. The relatively lower ambient relative humidities may weaken the coagulation sink and facilitate the occurrence of new particle formation events during noontime, while the surmise of nucleation and growth involving organic matter may imply an actually higher coagulation sink than expected. These factors have a significant influence on the ultimate fate of the newly formed nuclei and new particle formation. A comparison of event and non-event days indicates that the coagulation sink is not the only decisive factor affecting new particle formation, other factors including the precursor vapors and photochemical activity are none the less important either. Competition of coagulation sink and high source rate leads to the occurrence of new particle formation events at Xinken.     

Grey relational analysis of an integrated cascade utilization system of geothermal water

With the drastic decrease in fossil resources and rapid deterioration of the global environment, the utilization of geothermal resources has been strongly advocated. The combination of heat, power, and cold utility generation is commonly used to increase the utilization efficiency of geothermal resources. In this study, an integrated cascade utilization system of waste geothermal water (ICUWGW) from a flash geothermal power plant in China is established to increase the utilization efficiency of geothermal water. The waste geothermal water leaving the power plant is proposed for further use in cascade for two-stage LiBr/H₂O absorption cooling, agricultural product drying, and residential bathing. Twelve candidate temperature schemes showing different inlet and outlet temperatures of every subsystem are proposed for the ICUWGW. Several criteria are selected for the evaluation and screening of the candidate schemes. Grey relational analysis incorporating analytic hierarchy process is conducted to screen the optimal temperature scheme for the ICUWGW to meet the comprehensive criteria of thermodynamics and economics. Results show that the optimal scheme features significant improvement in energy efficiency, exergy efficiency, and equivalent electricity generation efficiency compared with those of the current geothermal power plant. The investment payback time of the additional subsystems for cooling, drying, and bathing is 1.85 years. Exergy analysis is also conducted to determine the further optimization potential of the optimal ICUWGW. Sensitivity analysis of electricity price on the performance of the optimal ICUWGW is also performed.     

Arsenic desorption from ferric and manganese binary oxide by competitive anions: significance of pH

Ferric and manganese binary oxide (FMBO) has been used to remediate an arsenic (As)-polluted river in China, but insufficient data was available to (1) evaluate its effects on the environment and (2) propose a feasible strategy of addressing the arsenic-bearing FMBO. The desorption behavior of arsenic in the presence of four competitive anions (i.e., phosphate, silicate, sulfate, and bicarbonate) at different concentrations was investigated with pH ranging from 3 to 11. The presence of these anions promoted the desorption of arsenic from arsenic-bearing FMBO and followed the sequence of phosphate > silicate > sulfate approximately equal to bicarbonate across a wide pH range. Desorption of arsenate (As[V]) was more significant than that of arsenite (As[III]). Sequence dissolution of arsenic-bearing FMBO particles by NH4-oxalate/oxalic acid and hydrochloric acid were performed. The laboratory results indicated that As(III) was primarily occluded in the crystalline parts of the FMBO. The desorption behavior of arsenic could be described by kinetic models using the Elovich and power function equations under different pH conditions and was related to the adsorption of phosphate and silicate. pH played an important role in the desorption of arsenic, because of its effects on the species distribution of anions, surface charge of the arsenic-bearing FMBO, and subsequent electrostatic forces between anions and FMBO.

Evaluating the exchange of DDTs between sediment and water in a major lake in North China

A large-scale sampling program was conducted to simultaneously collect surface water, overlying water, pore water, and sediment samples at monthly intervals between March and December 2010 from Baiyangdian Lake, North China to assess the distribution of DDTs and determine the net direction of sediment–water exchange. Total DDT concentrations ranged 2.36–22.4 ng/L, 0.72–21.9 ng/L, 2.25–33.7 ng/L, and 4.42–7.29 ng/g in surface water, overlying water, pore water, and sediments, respectively, which were at the intermediate levels compared to those of other area around the world. Seasonal variations of DDTs were featured by higher concentration in summer. This was likely associated with (a) the increase of land runoff in the summer and (b) application of dicofol and DDT-containing antifouling paints for ships in summer. Sediment–water fugacity ratios of the DDT isomers were used to predict the direction of the sediment–water exchange of these isomers. The sediment–surface water, sediment–overlying water, and sediment–pore water fugacity ratios of DDT isomers averaged 0.34, 0.44, and 0.1, which are significantly lower than the equilibrium status (1.0), suggesting that the net flux direction were from the water to sediment and the sediment acted as a sink for the DDTs. The difference of DDT concentrations between sediment and water samples was found to be an important factor affecting the diffusion of DDT from the water to sediment.
