Atmospheric mercury at mediterranean coastal stations

Mercury in air has been measured at five coastal Mediterranean sites, involving measurements in Spain, France, Italy, Slovenia and Israel. Four two-weeks long measurements campaigns were performed at the five sites. The measurements were carried out during autumn 2003 and winter, spring and summer 2004. Total gaseous mercury/elemental gaseous mercury, particulate mercury and divalent gaseous mercury were measured in parallel at the five sites. The activities constituted a subtask of the EU funded MERCYMS research project, which also included Mediterranean Sea cruises where both mercury in air and water were measured. The result from an evaluation of all the coastal air data is presented. Mercury concentrations from the different sites are compared with similar data obtained in northern Europe and elsewhere. The result shows that the background concentration of mercury in Mediterranean coastal air is lower than earlier anticipated. Background concentrations of TGM, RGM and TPM corresponded to 1.75–1.80 ng m⁻³, 1–13 and 3–23 pg m⁻³, respectively. The measurements also showed that the mercury concentration occasionally can be very high in some areas due to local anthropogenic emissions. It is proposed that diurnal variation in RGM concentrations observed during situation with nocturnal inversion merely is an effect of meteorology rather than due to local photochemistry.

Characteristic Study of Ambient Air Total Gaseous Mercury (TGM) Concentrations During Rainy and Non-Rainy Periods at a Traffic Site in Taiwan

This investigation studied the concentrations of ambient air total gaseous mercury (TGM) during the rainy periods at the Hung-Kuang traffic sampling site in central Taiwan from May 26 to June 16, 2014. The results were compared with those of a previous study for ambient air TGM during non-rainy daytime and nighttime periods at the Hung-Kuang traffic sampling site, which was conducted during March 21 to July 20, 2012. The observed mean concentration of ambient air TGM was 1.16 ng/m³ during the rainy periods at the Hung-Kuang traffic sampling site. The mean ambient air TGM concentrations were higher in the non-rainy sampling period in daytime than in the rainy sampling period from this study. The mean ratio of non-rainy sampling period in daytime to that of rainy sampling period for ambient air TGM were 3.15. Furthermore, the mean ambient air TGM concentrations were higher in the non-rainy sampling period in nighttime in than in the rainy sampling period for this study. The mean rations for non-rainy sampling period in nighttime to that of the rainy sampling period for ambient air TGM were 2.70. The results obtained in this study also revealed that the ambient air TGM concentrations during the rainy period had the lowest concentrations when compared with the other sampling sites in other world regions.     

烟气组分对低温等离子体协同TiO_2光催化工艺氧化Hg~0的影响

采用介质阻挡放电低温等离子体协同TiO2光催化工艺氧化烟气中Hg0,考察了烟气组分对氧化效果的影响。实验结果表明:低温等离子体放电会产生大量近紫外光;在6 k V电压下,低温等离子体协同TiO2光催化工艺时N2/Hg0氛围下Hg0的氧化率达86%,显著高于单一等离子体时的30%;O2和H2O产生的活性粒子会使Hg0氧化率进一步提高,在5 k V电压下,N2/Hg0氛围中添加5%(φ)O2或5%(φ)H2O,低温等离子体协同TiO2光催化工艺时可分别获得96%和94%的氧化率;NO与Hg0的竞争关系会导致作用于Hg0的活性粒子减少,抑制低温等离子体对Hg0的氧化,而在低温等离子体协同TiO2光催化时,抑制作用减弱;在复杂烟气氛围下,低温等离子体协同TiO2光催化对Hg0仍保持了较高的氧化率,3次重复实验的Hg0氧化率均接近92%。     

锰氧化物的零价汞吸附性能初探

以不同锰盐为锰源制备了三种锰氧化物,并将其作为吸附剂用于模拟烟气中零价汞的脱除。采用PXRD、TEM、N2吸附、H2－TPR、XPS等技术手段对制备的吸附剂进行了表征,利用固定床装置考察了其在不同温度下对模拟烟气中零价汞的吸附能力,并对穿透后吸附剂的脱附性能进行试验探讨。结果表明不同锰源制备的锰氧化物在低温条件下对零价汞的吸附性能不同,其中以硝酸锰为锰源制备的锰氧化物具有较高的吸附性能,并且吸附在锰氧化物表面的汞能够在加热条件下释放出来。另外,试验还发现当烟气中无SO2时,制备的吸附剂具有较好的循环使用性能。

Method validation for control determination of mercury in fresh fish and shrimp samples by solid sampling thermal decomposition/amalgamation atomic absorption spectrometry

A method for the determination of total mercury in fresh fish and shrimp samples by solid sampling thermal decomposition/amalgamation atomic absorption spectrometry (TDA AAS) has been validated following international foodstuff protocols in order to fulfill the Brazilian National Residue Control Plan. The experimental parameters have been previously studied and optimized according to specific legislation on validation and inorganic contaminants in foodstuff. Linearity, sensitivity, specificity, detection and quantification limits, precision (repeatability and within-laboratory reproducibility), robustness as well as accuracy of the method have been evaluated. Linearity of response was satisfactory for the two range concentrations available on the TDA AAS equipment, between approximately 25.0 and 200.0 μg kg^?1 (square regression) and 250.0 and 2000.0 μg kg^?1 (linear regression) of mercury. The residues for both ranges were homoscedastic and independent, with normal distribution. Correlation coefficients obtained for these ranges were higher than 0.995. Limits of quantification (LOQ) and of detection of the method (LDM), based on signal standard deviation (SD) for a low-in-mercury sample, were 3.0 and 1.0 μg kg^?1, respectively. Repeatability of the method was better than 4%. Within-laboratory reproducibility achieved a relative SD better than 6%. Robustness of the current method was evaluated and pointed sample mass as a significant factor. Accuracy (assessed as the analyte recovery) was calculated on basis of the repeatability, and ranged from 89% to 99%. The obtained results showed the suitability of the present method for direct mercury measurement in fresh fish and shrimp samples and the importance of monitoring the analysis conditions for food control purposes. Additionally, the competence of this method was recognized by accreditation under the standard ISO/IEC 17025.     

改性活性炭纤维吸附脱除气态汞

采用浸渍法对活性碳纤维(ACF)改性,所制得的吸附剂在固定床上进行汞吸附评价。Boehm滴定表明,浓HNO3和H2O2改性后的ACF表面含氧官能团有所增加,含氧官能团的增加有利于汞的吸附。XRF结果表明,ACF经硝酸银浸渍后,银离子被还原成单质银,使其对汞的吸附性能得到改变,并随着硝酸银浓度的增大而增大。ACF经活性MnO2和KMnO4浸渍后,吸附效果均有所提高,穿透时间大大加长,穿透吸附量也大大提高,两者均可达到170μg/g。
