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.

干化污泥热解制备可燃气过程中石英砂的影响

污水污泥样品经过105℃干燥处理后,在管式电阻炉和热天平上分别以15℃/min升温速率,在0～950℃温度范围进行污泥混合石英砂的热解实验研究。石英砂污泥混合热解实验发现:混合热解的产气总量得到提高,石英砂的加入不改变污泥热解生成可燃气的规律。在热解的高温段(800～950℃),由于加入了石英砂,CO浓度得到了提高。

Lead exposure improves the tolerance of Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) to cypermethrin

Many ecological factors such as heavy metals can affect the tolerance of herbivorous insects to chemical insecticide. Spodoptera litura larvae exposed to lead (Pb) (0-100 mg kg(-1) in artificial diet) did not inhibit their growth. After 96 h of Pb (0-100 mg kg(-1)) exposure, topical application and feeding of cypermethrin to S. litura decreased their mortality and increased weight gain. Moreover, the mortality of S. litura treated with 25 and 50 mg kg(-1) of Pb for five generations was significantly lower than control. In addition, Pb accumulation was detected in midgut, fat body, brain and hemolymph, and its highest level was in the midgut. Furthermore, there was a significant negative correlation between Pb accumulation in fat body and mortality after topical application of cypermethrin. After 96 h of Pb exposure, there was increase expression of detoxification enzymes (CYP9A39 and CYP6B47) in midgut and fat body of S. litura. Therefore, the tolerance of S. litura to cypermethrin is increased by Pb exposure at certain concentrations through Pb accumulation in body and the increase of CYP9A39 and CYP6B47 expression.

Recovery of high purity sulfuric acid from the waste acid in toluene nitration process by rectification

Waste sulfuric acid is a byproduct generated from numerous industrial chemical processes. It is essential to remove the impurities and recover the sulfuric acid from the waste acid. In this study the rectification method was introduced to recover high purity sulfuric acid from the waste acid generated in toluene nitration process by using rectification column. The waste acid quality before and after rectification were evaluated using UV–Vis spectroscopy, GC/MS, HPLC and other physical and chemical analysis. It was shown that five nitro aromatic compounds in the waste acid were substantially removed and high purity sulfuric acid was also recovered in the rectification process at the same time. The COD was removed by 94% and the chrominance was reduced from 1000° to 1°. The recovered sulfuric acid with the concentration reaching 98.2 wt% had a comparable quality with commercial sulfuric acid and could be recycled back into the toluene nitration process, which could avoid waste of resources and reduce the environmental impact and pollution.     

The evaluation of heavy metal accumulation and application of a comprehensive bio-concentration index for woody species on contaminated sites in Hunan,China

Fast-growing metal-accumulating woody plants are considered potential candidates for phytoextraction of metals. Shuikoushan mining, one of the biggest Pb and Zn production bases in China, presents an important source of the pollution of environment during the last 100 years. Over 150 km² of fertile soil have been contaminated by the dust, slag, and tailings from this mining. The goal of the present work has been to determine the content of Pb, Zn, Cd, and Cu in wild woody plants (18 species) naturally growing in this area. Two hundred five plant and soil samples from 11 contaminated sites were collected and analyzed. In addition, to assess the ability of multi-metal accumulation of these trees, we proposed a predictive comprehensive bio-concentration index (CBCI) based on fuzzy synthetic assessment. Our data suggest some adult trees could also accumulate a large amount of metals. Pb concentrations in leaves of Paulownia fortunei (Seem.) Hemsl. (1,179 mg/kg) exceeded the hyperaccumulation threshold (1,000 mg/kg). Elevated Pb concentrations (973.38 mg/kg) were also found in the leaves of Broussonetia papyrifera (L.) Vent., with a Pb bio-concentration factor of up to 0.701. Endemic species, Zenia insignis Chun exhibited huge potential for Zn and Cd phytoextraction, with the highest concentrations of Zn (1,968 mg/kg) and Cd (44.40 mg/kg), characteristic root nodules, and fast growth rates in poor soils. As for multi-metal accumulation ability, native species B. papyrifera was calculated to have the most exceptional ability to accumulate various metals simultaneously (CBCI 2.93), followed by Amorpha fruticosa L. (CBCI 2.72) and Lagerstroemia indica L. (CBCI 2.53). A trend of increasing metal from trunks to leaves (trunks?<?branches?<?leaves) and towards fine roots has been shown by metal partitioning between tissues. The proposed CBCI would allow for the selection of suitable trees for phytoremediation in the future.
