用现行设备进行烟气脱汞技术研究

基于布袋除尘器或静电除尘器吸附剂喷入技术是最有前景的脱汞技术,利用炭基吸附剂可以去除95%的汞,但是活性炭价格昂贵.常用飞灰或者钙基吸收剂代替,效果却不理想.WFGD可以去除80%-95%的Hg2+,但是Hg0的去除率为0.通过加入一些氧化剂可以有效控制汞的排放,抑止Hg2+向Hg0转化.SCR催化剂可以促进Hg0氧化从而增加WFGD对汞的去除率,该工艺除汞具有很大的潜在空间.     

载硫活性炭微观结构和表面形态研究

为了增强活性炭脱除燃煤电厂烟气中汞的能力,利用汞和硫可以生成稳定的HgS的性质,研究了通过热沉淀增加了活性炭中的硫含量的改性方法,并以SEM、BET、TGA等方法,研究了改性对活性炭表面形貌、硫在活性炭中的分布、活性炭比表面积等性能的影响。结果表明,热沉淀改性方法可以增加活性炭中的硫含量;硫粘附在活性炭的炭链上量较多,孔壁较少;改性工艺降低了活性炭的比表面积,且改性活性炭的比表面积随着温度的升高而增大;载硫后,活性炭中元素硫和炭的结合被增强。     

单质硫改性介孔炭对水溶液中汞的吸附性能研究

对介孔炭CMK-3进行单质硫改性得到OMC-S,并通过静态吸附实验研究了该材料对水溶液中汞的吸附性能。研究结果表明：单质硫改性可以在介孔炭上负载12.33%的硫,从而使得介孔炭对汞的吸附容量从185 mg/g提高到476 mg/g;OMC-S具有较广的适用pH值范围,在pH 3～11.5范围内其对汞的吸附去除率均达到92%以上;氯离子对OMC-S的吸附性能具有一定的抑制作用,原因在于它能和汞离子络合形成一系列吸附性能较差的Hg-Cl络合物,而腐殖酸在所研究的范围内对OMC-S的吸附性能无明显影响。     

Snapping Turtles (Chelydra serpentina) As Monitors for Mercury Contamination of Aquatic Environments

We assessed the distribution of mercury in snapping turtles(Chelydra serpentina) by analyzing front shoulder muscle,back leg muscle, tail muscle, blood, liver, and marginalcarapacial scute (shell) of 26 adult turtles from five smalllakes. Total mercury concentration in muscle ranged from 50 to500 ng g^–1 wet weight and was highly correlated among the threetissue locations. There was no relationship between musclemercury concentration and body size. Mercury concentration inblood was similar to muscle; the correlation with muscle mercuryconcentration was significant but there was some variability. Mercury concentration in shell was much higher than in muscle orblood, ranging from 500 to 3300 ng g^–1, and was highly correlatedwith muscle mercury concentration. Liver mercury concentrationwas similar to shell, but was highly variable and uncorrelatedwith any other tissue. We conclude that snapping turtlesaccumulate mercury from their environment and may be usefulmonitors of mercury contamination.     

重庆市汞污染的观测研究

为研究重庆市区汞污染状况,2004年9~11月,同步观测了重庆市近郊铁山坪小流域（TSP）和观音桥(GYQ)两个区域的全沉降、穿透水、地表径流和土壤中的总汞含量,估算了小流域中汞的输入输出通量,分析了城区和郊区的大气汞沉降和分布特征。结果表明,重庆已在一定程度上受到汞污染。在TSP,湿沉降是汞输入的主要方式,也就是说,在TSP,细颗粒是大气汞的主要来源,表层土则是大气汞的一个主要的汇。GYQ区域的汞污染比TSP相对严重。在GYQ,除了湿沉降以外,干沉降是汞来源的重要形式,表明在GYQ,粗颗粒可能对大气汞有很大的贡献。因此,本地源的排放对城区的影响比对郊区的影响大,尤其是城区火电站附近的土壤样品比郊区土壤的汞含量高很多,说明火电站是大气汞的重要来源之一。     

A summary of total mercury concentrations in flora and fauna near common contaminant sources in the Gulf of Mexico

Total mercury concentrations are summarized for environmental media and biota collected from near-coastal areas, several impacted by contaminant sources common to the Gulf of Mexico. Water, sediment, fish, blue crabs, oysters, clams, mussels, periphyton and seagrasses were collected during 1993–2002 from targeted areas affected by point and non-point source contaminants. Mean concentrations in water and sediment were 0.02 (±1 standard deviation = 0.06) μg l⁻¹ and 96.3 (230.8) ng g⁻¹ dry wt, respectively. Mean total mercury concentrations in fish, blue crabs, brackish clams and mussels were significantly greater than those in sediment, seagrass, colonized periphyton and oysters. Concentrations (ng g⁻¹ dry wt) averaged 23.1 (two seagrass species), 220.1 (oysters), 287.8 (colonized periphyton), 604.0 (four species of freshwater mussels), 772.4 (brackish clam), 857.9 (blue crabs) and 933.1 (nine fish species). Spatial, intraspecific and interspecific variability in results limited most generalizations concerning the relative mercury contributions of different stressor types. However, concentrations were significantly greater for some biota collected from areas receiving wastewater discharges and golf course runoff (fish), agricultural runoff (oysters) and urban stormwater runoff (colonized periphyton and sediment). Marine water quality criteria and proposed sediment quality guidelines were exceeded in 1–12% of total samples. At least one seafood consumption guideline, criteria or screening value were exceeded in edible tissues of blue crabs (6% total samples) and nine fish species (8–33% total samples) but all residues were less than the US Federal Drug Administration action limit of 1.0 ppm and the few reported toxic effect concentrations available for the targeted biota.

Atmospheric Monitoring at Abandoned Mercury Mine Sites in Asturias (NW Spain)

Mercury concentrations are usually significant in historic Hg mining districts all over the world, so the atmospheric environment is potentially affected. In Asturias, northern Spain, past mining operations have left a legacy of ruins and Hg-rich wastes, soils and sediments in abandoned sites. Total Hg concentrations in the ambient air of these abandoned mine sites have been investigated to evaluate the impact of the Hg emissions. This paper presents the synthesis of current knowledge about atmospheric Hg contents in the area of the abandoned Hg mining and smelting works at ‘La Peña–El Terronal’ and La Soterraña, located in Mieres and Pola de Lena districts, respectively, both within the Caudal River basin. It was found that average atmospheric Hg concentrations are higher than the background level in the area (0.1 μg Nm^?3), reaching up to 203.7 μg Nm^?3 at 0.2 m above the ground level, close to the old smelting chimney at El Terronal mine site. Data suggest that past Hg mining activities have big influences on the increased Hg concentrations around abandoned sites and that atmospheric transfer is a major pathway for Hg cycling in these environments.     

Atmospheric Metal Pollutants-Archives, Methods, and History

Pollution of the atmosphere with cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), and lead (Pb) is a consequence of human activities. Natural archives are necessary to reconstruct the long-term history of metal deposition because accurate measurement of atmospheric deposition is a recent accomplishment. Reconstructions require: (1) accurate determination of concentrations of elements and isotopes, (2) accurate chronology of archives, and (3) archives that faithfully record atmosphere deposition. The most useful long-term archives are accumulations of ice and snow, peat, and lake sediment. Quantification of Cd deposition is uncommon because of its low concentration and substantial chemical mobility. Nonetheless, trends in peat and lake sediment are similar to those of Hg and Pb since ca. 1800 a.d. Both Hg and Pb are relatively chemically immobile and thus the peat and lake archives are believed to record historic trends of atmospheric deposition. Isotopic and concentration studies of Pb indicate a history of northern hemisphere atmospheric pollution extending back prior to 0 a.d. Although measurements of Hg concentration are now routine, isotopic measurements are in their infancy. Some Hg pollution sources have unique isotopic ratios, thereby contributing unique signals to the total Hg. Maximum accumulation rates of Hg and Pb occur up to 10 years later than for Cd (1970s versus 1960s in eastern North America, perhaps slightly later in Europe). By 2004, deposition of Cd, Hg, and Pb had declined from peak values in eastern North America more than 75, 75, and 90%, respectively.     

燃煤火电厂汞排放因子测试设计及案例分析

在火电厂锅炉煤的燃烧中,汞的迁移是个复杂的过程.在炉内高温下,几乎所有的汞以气态形式停留于烟气中,随着烟气温度的降低,汞被再分配到粉煤灰、炉渣和空气中.采用测试和衡算的方法,对火电厂汞排放因子进行测试和分析.结果表明:汞的迁移分配与煤中汞的赋存量、粉煤灰中可燃物碳的含量及烟气温度相关.煤燃烧后,进入粉煤灰中的汞占煤中汞含量的12.7%～31.3%,进入炉渣中的汞占0.9%～12.8%,大部分汞排入大气中,占67.8%～82.2%.
