Comparison of UV-based advanced oxidation processes for the removal of different fractions of NOM from drinking water

This study examined the effectiveness for degradation of hydrophobic (HPO), transphilic (TPI) and hydrophilic (HPI) fractions of natural organic matter (NOM) during UV/H₂O₂, UV/TiO₂ and UV/K₂S₂O₈ (UV/PS) advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). The changing characteristics of NOM were evaluated by dissolved organic carbon (DOC), the specific UV absorbance (SUVA), trihalomethanes formation potential (THMFP), organic halogen adsorbable on activated carbon formation potential (AOXFP) and parallel factor analysis of excitation–emission matrices (PARAFAC-EEMs). In the three UV-based AOPs, HPI fraction with low molecular weight and aromaticity was more likely to degradate than HPO and TPI, and the removal efficiency of SUVA for HPO was much higher than TPI and HPI fraction. In terms of the specific THMFP of HPO, TPI and HPI, a reduction was achieved in the UV/H₂O₂ process, and the higest removal rate even reached to 83%. UV/TiO₂ and UV/PS processes can only decrease the specific THMFP of HPI. The specific AOXFP of HPO, TPI and HPI fractions were all able to be degraded by the three UV-based AOPs, and HPO content is more susceptible to decompose than TPI and HPI content. UV/H₂O₂ was found to be the most effective treatment for the removal of THMFP and AOXFP under given conditions. C1 (microbial or marine derived humic-like substances), C2 (terrestrially derived humic-like substances) and C3 (tryptophan-like proteins) fluorescent components of HPO fraction were fairly labile across the UV-based AOPs treatment. C3 of each fraction of NOM was the most resistant to degrade upon the UV-based AOPs. Results from this study may provide the prediction about the consequence of UV-based AOPs for the degradation of different fractions of NOM with varied characteristics.     

Effect of catalyzed diesel particulate filter and its catalyst loading on emission characteristics of a non-road diesel engine

In this study, the effects of a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) coupled with a catalyzed diesel particulate filter (CDPF) with different catalyst loadings on the power, fuel consumption, gaseous and particulate emissions from a non-road diesel engine were investigated. Results showed that the after-treatment had a negligible effect on the power and fuel consumption. The reduction effect of the DOC on the CO and hydrocarbon (HC) increased with the engine load. Further reductions occurred coupling with the CDPF. Increasing the catalyst loading resulted in a more significant reduction in the HC emissions than CO emissions. The DOC could increase the NO₂ proportion to 37.9%, and more NO₂ was produced when coupled with the CDPF below 250°C; above 250°C, more NO₂ was consumed. The after-treatment could reduce more than 99% of the particle number (PN) and 98% of the particle mass (PM). Further reductions in the PN and PM occurred with a higher CDPF catalyst loading. The DOC had a better reduction effect on the nucleation particles than the accumulation ones, but the trend reversed with the CDPF. The DOC shifted the particle size distribution (PSD) to larger particles with an accumulation particle proportion increasing from 13% to 20%, and the geometric mean diameter (GMD) increased from 18.2 to 26.0 nm. The trend reversed with the CDPF and the accumulation particle proportion declined to less than 10%. A lower catalyst loading on the CDPF led to a higher proportion of nucleation particles and a smaller GMD.     

Spatiotemporal optical properties of dissolved organic matter in a sluice-controlled coastal plain river with both salinity and trophic gradients

Due to the combined effect of sluices and sea tide, the sluice-controlled coastal plain river would be characterized by both trophic state and salinity gradients, affecting the spatiotemporal optical properties of dissolved organic matter (DOM). In this study, we investigated the spatiotemporal variation of water quality parameters and optical properties of DOM in the Haihe River, a representative sluice-controlled coastal plain river in Tianjin, China. A significant salinity gradient and four trophic states were observed in the water body of the Haihe River. Two humic- and one protein-like substances were identified from the DOM by the three-dimensional fluorescence spectra combined with the parallel factor (PARAFAC) analysis. Pearson's correlation analysis and redundancy analysis (RDA) showed that the salinity significantly affected the abundance of chromophoric DOM (CDOM) but did not cause significant changes in the fluorescence optical characteristics. In addition, the effect of Trophic state index (TSI) on the CDOM abundance was greater than that on the fluorescence intensity of fluorescent dissolved organic matter (FDOM). In the water body with both salinity and trophic state gradients, TSI posed a greater influence than salinity on the CDOM abundance. Our results fill the research gap in spatiotemporal DOM characteristics and water quality variation in water bodies with both salinity and trophic state gradients. These results are beneficial for clarifying the joint influence of saline intrusion and sluices on the DOM characteristics and water quality in sluice-controlled coastal plain rivers.     

上海工业区大气颗粒物中硫的化学形态和分布

用低压冲击式采样器 (DLPI) 采集了上海工业区和郊区大气中28nm~9.92μm粒径范围的颗粒物样品,用同步辐射X射线吸收近边结构谱(XANES)和X射线荧光分析(SRXRF) 对样品中硫的化学形态和含量进行了研究.结果表明,粗颗粒物和细颗粒物中的硫,大部分以硫酸盐形式存在;超细颗粒物中除了硫酸盐硫之外,一部分硫以低价的还原态形式存在,可能的化学形态为金属硫化物、噻吩类有机硫化物.细粒子中硫的质量浓度高于粗颗粒,约 70%的硫分布在细粒子中.硫的质量浓度呈多模态分布.工业区的超细颗粒物峰值出现在0.091~0.154μm;细颗粒的分布为积聚模,峰值出现在0.38~0.611μm;粗颗粒分布为粗模态,在1.59~3.98μm和6.57~9.92μm出现2个峰值.郊区的超细颗粒物中硫的质量分布不存在峰值;积聚模出现两个亚模态,分别为峰值在0.261~0.380μm的“凝结模态”和峰值在0.611~0.945μm的“液滴模态”;粗模态峰值在2.38~6.57μm.污染来源和颗粒物形成、转换机制以及不同采样时间的气象条件差异决定了2个地区颗粒物中硫的分布特性,工业区颗粒物中硫的来源有海盐源的贡献,而郊区较少受海洋源的影响.     

入冬水生高等植物的衰亡对河流水质的影响

上海市郊河流水体中有很高的氮、磷和有机负菏，由于受水生高等植物生灭的影响，初春河流中的氮、磷和有机负菏明显高于上一年的初冬，河流中的水生高等植物能大量地吸收水体中的氮、磷，抑制藻类生长，净化水质；但其植株残体在水中的腐解，又会重新释出营养元素，造成对水体的二次污染。在冬季，随着水生高等植物的大量死亡这种污染更加明显，应加强对水生高等植物的利用，尝试建立既能净化水质，又有创造经济效益的生态工程模式，使市郊受污水体得到资源化利用。

沉积物原位物理洗脱技术对苦草萌发生长的影响

原位物理洗脱技术是一种应用于修复受污染的沉积物的新兴技术,但沉积物洗脱处理后对沉水植物萌发生长的影响尚不明确。通过模拟原位空气洗脱与原位水力洗脱2种典型原位物理洗脱技术,处理富含有机质的沉积物,研究洗脱对苦草萌发和生长指标的影响,以及洗脱后沉积物的理化性质的变化。结果表明:2种方式洗脱后沉积物中苦草种子的萌发率、萌发速度以及幼苗的株高、鲜质量、根数、叶数等指标均优于未洗组,其中水力洗脱后沉积物中苦草的萌发生长状况最好,萌发率是未洗组的2.9倍,株高和根数分别是未洗组的2.29和4.76倍;物理洗脱后,沉积物中氨氮($NH_{4}^{-}$-N)与酸可挥发性硫化物(AVS)等还原性物质浓度分别下降34.15%~35.19%和7.67%~44.89%,有机质浓度下降70.04%~77.90%,表层(0~5 cm)沉积物由强还原状态(ORP<-350 mV)改善至弱还原状态(ORP为-200~-100 mV);此外,沉积物中大粒径(50~2 000 μm)颗粒占比增至89.02%~92.84%,有利于上覆水中的O₂向沉积物中扩散,促进苦草的萌发生长。原位物理洗脱尤其是水力洗脱后,沉积物的理化条件更有利于苦草的萌发生长。
