Occupational Exposure to Harmful Chemical Substances While Processing Phenol-Formaldehyde Resins

Air pollutants emitted while processing phenol-formaldehyde resins have been investigated. Gas chromatography-mass-selective detection was used to separate and identify chemical compounds. It was determined that workers were exposed to formaldehyde in all workplaces. Besides, phenol, acetaldehyde, acrylaldehyde, 2-furaldehyde, xylene, ethylbenzene, toluene, tetrachlorethene, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate were found during the production of frictional materials; and 2-furaldehyde, phenol, naphthalene, 2-furan-methanol, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) during the production of abrasive materials. Quantitative analyses were performed with gas chromatogra-phy and high performance liquid chromatography. Assessment of occupational exposure indicated that chemical compounds emitted during the investigated processes might be dangerous for human health, mainly because of suspected carcinogenic compounds: formaldehyde and PAHs.     

交流干扰下碱性环境中富锌环氧涂层失效机制研究

目的 揭示碱性环境下交流干扰对富锌环氧涂层失效机制的影响.方法 以富锌环氧涂层为研究对象,以X80钢为基体,手工涂敷形成带涂层的X80钢样品,通过五点测试法确定涂层厚度为(25±5)μm,施加交流干扰电压.通过电化学测试,研究涂层样品在3％(质量分数)NaOH溶液中随浸泡时间的电化学阻抗变化特征,揭示交流电对富锌环氧涂层的作用机制.结果 在碱性环境下,锌粉更有利于活化,但是反应速率也更快,导致活化的锌粉表面能够迅速形成腐蚀产物Zn(OH)2和Zn(OH)42-,阻止锌粉之间的电连接,同时基体Fe在碱性环境中容易发生钝化,极大地减弱了涂层与金属基体的湿结合力.当交流干扰存在时,活化锌粉的反应过程非常迅速,以至于不能形成有效的电连接和阴极保护.结论 交流干扰能够抑制锌颗粒的活化过程(ZnO→Zn(OH)2/Zn(OH)42-),促进活化锌颗粒的反应过程,削弱锌的阴极保护作用.     

环氧富锌涂层对AZ91D镁合金的腐蚀防护能力研究

目的研究环氧富锌涂层对AZ91D镁合金的腐蚀防护能力。方法采用机械喷涂法在AZ91D镁合金表面制备一种保护性的环氧富锌涂层。采用电化学阻抗谱(EIS)研究环氧富锌涂层在0.5 mol/L的Na2SO4腐蚀溶液中的电化学腐蚀行为及其对镁合金的腐蚀防护能力。结果浸泡初期,环氧富锌涂层的阻抗谱中只出现一个时间常数,暗示着环氧富锌涂层优异的阻挡层作用;浸泡48 h后,环氧富锌涂层阻抗谱中出现两个时间常数,高频和低频时间常数分别对应环氧富锌涂层中高聚合的介电性质和锌粉的活性溶解;浸泡336 h后,环氧富锌涂层仍具有很高的阻抗模值,表明此时环氧富锌涂层对镁合金仍能提供良好的腐蚀防护。结论环氧富锌涂层在0.5 mol/L Na2SO4腐蚀溶液中能对AZ91D镁合金提供很好的腐蚀防护。

Spectrophotometric analyses of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) in water

A simple and accurate spectrophotometric method for on-site analysis of royal demolition explosive(RDX) in water samples was developed based on the Berthelot reaction. The sensitivity and accuracy of an existing spectrophotometric method was improved by:replacing toxic chemicals with more stable and safer reagents; optimizing the reagent dose and reaction time; improving color stability; and eliminating the interference from inorganic nitrogen compounds in water samples. Cation and anion exchange resin cartridges were developed and used for sample pretreatment to eliminate the effect of ammonia and nitrate on RDX analyses. The detection limit of the method was determined to be 100 μg/L. The method was used successfully for analysis of RDX in untreated industrial wastewater samples. It can be used for on-site monitoring of RDX in wastewater for early detection of chemical spills and failure of wastewater treatment systems.     

Chloramination of wastewater effluent: Toxicity and formation of disinfection byproducts

The reclamation and disinfection of waters impacted by human activities (e.g., wastewater effluent discharges) are of growing interest for various applications but has been associated with the formation of toxic nitrogenous disinfection byproducts (N-DBPs). Monochloramine used as an alternative disinfectant to chlorine can be an additional source of nitrogen in the formation of N-DBPs. Individual toxicity assays have been performed on many DBPs, but few studies have been conducted with complex mixtures such as wastewater effluents. In this work, we compared the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of wastewater effluent organic matter (EfOM) before and after chloramination. The toxicity of chloraminated EfOM was significantly higher than the toxicity of raw EfOM, and the more hydrophobic fraction (HPO) isolated on XAD-8 resin was more toxic than the fraction isolated on XAD-4 resin. More DBPs were also isolated on the XAD-8 resin. N-DBPs (i.e., haloacetonitriles or haloacetamides) were responsible for the majority of the cytotoxicity estimated from DBP concentrations measured in the XAD-8 and XAD-4 fractions (99.4% and 78.5%, respectively). Measured DBPs accounted for minor proportions of total brominated and chlorinated products, which means that many unknown halogenated compounds were formed and can be responsible for a significant part of the toxicity. Other non-halogenated byproducts (e.g., nitrosamines) may contribute to the toxicity of chloraminated effluents as well.     

不同复苏方法对阴树脂复苏效果的影响研究

研究了直接酸洗复苏法、树脂转为氯型后酸洗复苏法、氯化钠转型后用次氯酸钠氧化复苏法、次氯酸钠氧化后用盐碱混液复苏法、双氧水氧化后用盐碱混液复苏法等五种不同的复苏方法对铁和有机物污染树脂复苏效果的影响。结果表明：复苏方法不同时，亚铁离子污染树脂的复苏效果和铁离子污染树脂的复苏效果是不相同的，同时可看出，双氧水氧化后盐碱混液复苏法复苏铁污染树脂的效果最好；五种不同的复苏方法对腐植酸污染的树脂都有较好的复苏效果，且复苏效果相差不大。

Electro-assisted regeneration of ion exchange resins

Electro-assisted regeneration (EAR) for the mixed bed of strongly acidic cation and weakly basic anion exchange resins with the Al(OH)3 suspension in a three-compartment cell was investigated. The desalination experiments were carried out to evaluate the characteristic of the regenerated mixed resins. Experimental results showed that the efficiency of resin regeneration was strictly dependent on the voltage, regeneration time, and feed regenerant flow rate. The amount of the effluent reached 50 times the volume of the resins bed, and the conductivity was less than 1.0 μs/cm. Compared to the conventional ER, the total effluent volume of EAR was about 1000 mL more than that of ER under the same conditions, and the outlet conductivity was significantly lower. The desalination and regeneration reaction mechanisms of the mixed resins indicated the regeneration efficiency of resin with Al(OH)₃ as the regenerant was much higher than that with H₂O.
