Hydrochemistry of Wet Atmospheric Precipitation Over an Urban Area in Northern Indo-Gangetic Plains

Rain water samples were collected to study the chemical composition of wet atmospheric precipitation (first event) over the Lucknow city in the northern Indo-gangetic alluvial plains. The samples were collected in the month of July, 2005 from different sites. The wet precipitation samples were analyzed for pH, EC, major ions (, Cl⁻, , , , F⁻, Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, ) and heavy metals (As, Cd, Al, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Hg, Pb, Se, Sn, Ti, V, Zn). The pH values of wet precipitation samples ranged between 6.5 and 8.7. The analysis of linear regression applied to the set of studied variables and computation of neutralization factors showed that neutralization occurred in precipitation samples and Ca²⁺ had the maximum neutralization capacity. It was found that Cl⁻, , Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Na⁺ and K⁺ in the precipitation samples originated mainly from crustal/anthropogenic sources in the region. On an average Fe, and Al accounted for >72% of the total concentration of trace metals in the wet precipitation samples followed by Zn (>10%). Enrichment factors calculated for heavy metals over reference background level in seawater and Earth’s crust showed relatively higher enrichment of Zn. The principal component analysis (PCA) identified the possible sources of ionic species and heavy metals in the wet precipitation samples.     

Evaluation of Bulk Deposition in Protected Woodland Area in Western Poland

Research on precipitation carried out systematically at the University station at Jeziory in the Wielkopolski National Park (western Poland) allowed the determination of pollutants deposited with precipitation in this forest ecosystem. During 13 years of study, the pH of precipitation was found to persist at a low level (4.33 on average), which resulted a substantial deposition of H⁺. Values of acidifying and basic ions deposited in this area were determined and compared with the respective figures obtained at selected EMEP stations studying background pollution, the means for Poland, and areas subjected to considerable human impact. The use of the critical load function made it possible to establish that the S and N deposition for 2002–2005 were below its line.     

土壤中常见离子在紫外区的吸收特Ⅰ.低浓度离子溶液

将分析纯物质配制成10μg/ml浓度,应用岛津UV-1601紫外分光光度计,在波长190~335nm内扫描溶液的吸收峰,结果表明,硝酸相盐物质在201nm处有一稳定的吸收峰,吸收值与浓度成良好的线性关系,相对于硝酸盐物质而言,亚硝酸钠吸收峰红移至210nm,CaSO4、SrCl2均呈现低吸收,但其吸收峰在<200nm的远紫外区,在该浓度下,NH4Cl、HCl和KCl均呈现低吸收,并集中在远紫外区,而KH2PO4和NH4F几乎没有吸收．     

土壤中常见离子在紫外区的吸收特性──Ⅱ.高浓度离子溶液与低浓度混合

探讨不同离子浓度与不同无机溶液的混合对紫外光吸收的影响,结果表明,盐酸盐在较高浓度下吸收值迅速增大,吸收峰向红区移动,而硫酸盐在远紫区有一定程度的吸收,KH2PO4与NH4F接近无吸收。多数情况下,无机溶液对紫外光的吸收主要决定于阴离子类型,而与阳离子无关.不同类型溶液的混合基本不改变溶液的吸收特性,硝酸盐在低浓度下对紫外的吸收极为稳定,基本不受共存离子的干扰。0.01mol/LCuSO4与2mol/LKCI吸收峰与硝酸盐吸收峰重叠,但饱和CaSO4与硝酸盐吸收峰不重叠。

Calcium alginate accelerates elimination of environmental lead in preschool children

Environmental lead poses a serious threat for public health, particularly, for children. The use of substances with metal-binding properties, such as natural alginates, may be a potentially effective method for elimination of toxic metal ions from human body. In present study, effect of calcium alginate isolated from brown algae on distribution of the lead ions in preschool children was investigated. In the beginning of the study, lead concentration in urine, feces, and hair was determined. Then these children were administered a dietary supplement containing calcium alginate for four weeks. The results showed that all children participated in the study had a high baseline median lead level in urine (1.1 µg/L), feces (4.6 µg/g), and hair (5.0 µg/g). Administration of calcium alginate resulted in twofold increase of the urine lead level within two weeks from the start of the treatment. At the end of alginate administration, significant decrease of lead concentration in hair was registered. These results suggest that calcium alginate can potentially prevent accumulation of the lead ions in the body and may be used as an active agent for elimination of this toxic metal from human body.

Effects of metal ions on thermal hazard of tert-butyl peroxy-3,5,5-trimethylhexanoate

As a commonly used initiator for polyethylene, tert-butyl peroxide 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoate (TBPTMH), with the molecular formula of C₁₃H₂₆O₃, is more likely to decompose and cause fires and explosions. Understanding the thermal risks of TBPTMH mixed with common metal ions, potentially in containers and pipes, is important. In this work, by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Phi-Tec adiabatic calorimetry, the effects of CuCl₂, FeCl₃, CuBr_2, and FeBr₃ on the thermal decomposition of TBPTMH were investigated. Adiabatic kinetic analysis was performed and the apparent activation energy (E_a) was calculated by thermodynamic analysis. Time to maximum rise under adiabatic conditions (TMR_ad) and the self-accelerating decomposition temperature (SADT) under different packing qualities were reckoned. It was found that the thermal risk of TBPTMH was increased while mixing these metal ions, especially CuBr₂. To ensure the safety of the substance in process industry, the temperature of TBPTMH in the presence of metal should be governed below 39.48 °C. This work was expected to provide some guidance for improving the process safety of TBPTMH.

Removement of thiocyanate from industrial wastewater by microwave-Fenton oxidation method

The microwave radiation oxidation process, Fenton as catalytic agent, was used to remove the thiocyanate from the industrial wastewater. The effects of microwave power, radiation time, pH and the feeding in ways of catalyst on the degradation rate of synthetic wastewater were investigated using the microwave radiation oxidation process by orthogonal experiment. The results show Fenton catalyst ratio was 1:20, the microwave radiation power was 900 W, the microwave radiation time was 7 min and the value of pH was 3. Under the optimum conditions, the removal of KSCN can reach over 90%. The apparent kinetics of removal was studied, which conformed to kinetics first-class reaction. In short, for the thiocyanate from the industrial wastewater, microwave-Fenton oxidation method is feasible and effective.
