高里程出租车的排放控制措施

出租车排放是城市大气污染的重要来源,对高排放出租车加严管理是改善空气质量的有效手段之一.在北京市选取6辆有代表性的高里程汽油出租车,较全面地评估了维护保养、更换三元催化器对出租车油耗和排放的影响,以及三元催化器在更换后的老化情况.研究表明:常规的维护保养可显著改善车辆的燃油经济性,保养后车辆的100 km油耗比原车降低了2%～4%,但对THC和NOx排放的影响很小.原车排放越高,更换三元催化器的减排效果越显著,且更换第一级三元催化器(前三元催化器)和同时更换第一、二级三元催化器(前、后三元催化器)的减排效果差别较小.更换三元催化器后行驶里程约18.5×104 km时,有4辆出租车对CO、THC和NOx的减排比例仍保持在45%、26%和29%的平均水平,说明更换三元催化器后,在约20×104km的行驶里程内对气态污染物能保持较好的减排效果.      

煤矿乏风低浓度甲烷催化氧化数值模拟

应用计算流体力学软件FLUENT,通过导入CHEMKIN格式详细化学反应机理对煤矿乏风低浓度甲烷气体在壁面涂有Pt催化剂的蜂窝陶瓷通道表面的催化氧化过程进行数值研究,计算分析了有、无催化剂情况下乏风低浓度甲烷在通道内的反应情况,同时进一步分析了乏风甲烷浓度、入口进气速度、通道壁面温度及通道直径对甲烷氧化率的影响。结果表明:在蜂窝陶瓷通道内壁负载Pt金属催化剂不仅可以降低乏风中低浓度甲烷氧化所需的温度,而且可以大大提高甲烷的氧化率;甲烷氧化率随着乏风甲烷浓度和通道壁面温度的升高而增大,随着入口进气速度和通道直径的增大而下降。     

铈钛掺杂促进铁氧化物低温SCR脱硝性能的机理

利用X射线晶格衍射（XRD）、N₂吸附和X射线光电子能谱仪（XPS）等对铈和钛掺杂后的铁氧化物晶相、孔隙结构及表面活性组分的分散度等物性进行表征分析,得到了铈和钛掺杂对铁氧化物低温NH₃-SCR脱硝性能的促进机理.结果表明：铈和钛掺杂会抑制铁氧化物中Fe₂O₃的结晶,细化其孔径,增大其比表面积和比孔容;铈掺杂会促使铁氧化物表面形成Ce⁴⁺/Ce³⁺氧化还原电子对;进一步掺杂钛会提高铁铈复合氧化物形成更多吸附氧,增强其表面低温催化氧化NO为NO₂的性能;且铈和钛掺杂增强了铁氧化物表面的吸附性能,尤其提高了对NH₃的低温吸附,从而促进了铁基氧化物催化剂的低温NH₃-SCR脱硝性能.     

Heavy metal analysis in fish‐kill cases in rivers in Guipuzcoa (Spain)∗

Some fish‐kills in Basque rivers were studied by gill tissue analysis: Samples were wet digested and the solution was analyzed by atomic absorption spectroscopy. In three cases, the cause was linked to the effluents of an aluminium anodizing factory, cyanide caused one kill and copper wastes were related with another. Three cases were attributed to natural reasons and one of the kills was of unknown origin.     

Trace metals in the western Mediterranean Sea∗

Data on Cd, Pb and Cu concentrations in seawater referring to five years of field studies on the western Mediterranean Sea are reported in order to present a space and time integrated situation on the levels of these metals. Surface total metal concentrations present rather homogeneous distributions between the different areas considered, including the Tyrrhenian Sea. The metal concentrations in three areas affected by natural and industrial wastes are also discussed. The vertical distribution of the dissolved Cd, Pb and Cu in the Alboran Sea seems to be rather homogeneous, both vertically and among the stations chosen between the Strait of Gibraltar and the Island of Alboran.     

Concentrations of cadmium,manganese, copper,zinc, and lead in the tissues of the oyster (Crassostrea iredalei) obtained from Setiu Lagoon,Terengganu, Malaysia

Heavy metals pollution in aquatic environments is a major problem contributing to human health issues. The study of these pollutants through bioindicators such as the oyster Crassostrea iredalei is important for (1) determining the levels and sources and (2) regulating the quantity of pollutants. The concentrations of cadmium (Cd), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and lead (Pb) in tissues of C. iredalei, sediment and surrounding water was measured, and data was analyzed to determine the relationship between sampling periods and between oyster tissue, sediment, and water. The highest concentration of metals in oyster tissue was Zn, followed by Cu, Mn, Cd, and Pb. Concentrations of Cd, Cu, and Zn exceeded the maximum level allowed according to the Malaysian Food Act of 1983, which is equivalent to the WHO recommended levels of heavy metals in organisms used for consumption. The highest metal concentration in sediment was Mn followed by Zn, Pb, Cu, and Cd. Concentrations of heavy metals in surrounding water were Zn, Pb, Cu, Mn, and Cd. There was no correlation between metal concentration in oyster tissue and in sediment for all five metals.     

Acute effects of low-dose cypermethrin on male rat cells

Effects of synthetic pyrethroid insecticide α-cypermethrin were investigated following intradermal dose (5–50 mM) of cypermethrin to male albino Wistar rats. Glucose, protein, cholesterol, triglycerides, urea, uric acid, creatinine, hemoglobin, blood RBC, and WBC content were determined 6 h after pesticide administration. Biochemical parameters and blood cell count changed significantly in treated rats at all doses. Low-dose cypermethrin affected early biochemical changes in rats.     

不同强度冷刺激对大鼠心脏、大脑、睾丸和肺脏中CIRP表达的影响

采用Western blot和实时荧光定量RT-PCR方法,研究不同强度不同时间冷刺激后大鼠心脏、大脑、睾丸和肺脏中冷诱导RNA结合蛋白(CIRP)的表达情况.结果表明:常温(20℃±1℃)下大鼠4种组织中均存在一定的CIRP的表达;急性冷刺激组(-10℃±1℃、-4℃±1℃、0℃±1℃、4℃±1℃)心脏、大脑和睾丸中CIRP mRNA表达在冷刺激0～6 h呈上升趋势,6 h时达到最高值,随后呈下降趋势,肺脏中CIRP mRNA表达在0～6 h呈下降趋势,在6 h时达到最低值,随后呈上升趋势;慢性冷应激组(10℃±1℃)大鼠心脏、大脑和睾丸3种组织中CIRP mRNA在不同时间点(1周、2周、3 W周)的表达均高于正常对照组(P>0.05),肺脏CIRP mRNA表达均低于对照组(P>0.05),并且同一组织不同时间点之间差异不显著(P>0.05).可见冷刺激后CIRP的表达存在一定规律并且表现出组织特异性,可能与组织保护特异性有关.     

Removal of toluene from air streams by cobalt-copper bimetallic catalysts supported on sepiolite

Abstract

Oxidative removal of toluene using copper and cobalt bimetallic catalysts with varying molar ratios supported on sepiolite was investigated. The catalysts prepared by a deposition precipitation method and were characterized using X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption-desorption, field emission scanning electron microscopy, H₂-temperature-programmed reduction, transmission electron microscope, and inductive coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy. The species supported on sepiolite are Co₃O₄, CuO, and CuCo₂O₄. The activities of the tested catalysts increased in the order 0Co-4Cu/Sep <1Co-3Cu/Sep <4Co-0Cu/Sep <1Co-1Cu/Sep <3Co-1Cu/Sep. The latter exhibiting 90% toluene oxidative degradation at 288?°C within 15?h, having high selectivity towards CO₂, and being stable at 300?°C up to 15?h. In conclusion, this study showed that sepiolite has excellent properties as a support.
