This paper shows that spent lubricating oils from automobile engines generate carboxylic acids on environmental exposure. Samples of exposed oils, isolated from polluted river water and shore muds obtained from various locations, showed a direct proportionality between carboxylic acid content and time of exposure. Carboxylic acids were isolated by solvent extraction and studied by infrared spectroscopy. 相似文献

The recurrence of forest fires in Southeast Asia and associated biomass burning, has contributed markedly to the problem of trans-boundary haze and the long-range movement of pollutants in the region. Air pollutants, specifically particulate matter in the atmosphere, have received extensive attention, mainly because of their adverse effect on people's health. In this study, the spatial and temporal variability of the PM10 concentration across Malaysia was analyzed by means of the rotated principal component analysis. The results suggest that the variability of the PM10 concentration can be decomposed into four dominant modes, each characterizing different spatial and temporal variations. The first mode characterizes the southwest coastal region of the Malaysian Peninsular with the PM10 showing a peak concentration during the summer monsoon i.e. when the winds are predominantly southerlies or southwesterlies, and a minimal concentration during the winter monsoon. The second mode features the region of western Borneo with the PM10 exhibiting a concentration surge in August–September, which is likely to be the result of the northward shift of the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and the subsequent rapid arrival of the rainy season. The third mode delineates the northern region of the Malaysian Peninsular with strong bimodality in the PM10 concentration. Seasonally, this component exhibits two concentration maxima during the late winter and summer monsoons, as well as two minima during the inter-monsoon periods. The fourth dominant mode characterizes the northern Borneo region which exhibits weaker seasonality of the PM10 concentration. Generally, the seasonal fluctuation of the PM10 concentration is largely associated with the seasonal variation of rainfall in the country. However, in addition to this, the PM10 concentration also fluctuates markedly in two timescale bands i.e. 10–20 days quasi-biweekly (QBW) and 30–60 days lower frequency (LF) band of the intra-seasonal timescales. These intra-seasonal fluctuations show strong seasonality with the largest fraction of variance occurring during the boreal summer and the weakest variance during the winter. Generally, the LF intra-seasonal oscillation is stronger compared to the QBW intra-seasonal band. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine the source apportionment of dust fall around Lake Chini, Malaysia. Samples were collected monthly between December 2012 and March2013 at seven sampling stations located around Lake Chini. The samples were filtered to separate the dissolved and undissolved solids. The ionic compositions(NO-3, SO2-4, Cl-and NH+4) were determined using ion chromatography(IC) while major elements(K, Na, Ca and Mg) and trace metals(Zn, Fe, Al, Ni, Mn, Cr, Pb and Cd) were determined using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry(ICP-MS). The results showed that the average concentration of total solids around Lake Chini was 93.49 ± 16.16 mg/(m2·day). SO2-4, Na and Zn dominated the dissolved portion of the dust fall. The enrichment factors(EF) revealed that the source of the trace metals and major elements in the rain water was anthropogenic, except for Fe. Hierarchical agglomerative cluster analysis(HACA) classified the seven monitoring stations and 16 variables into five groups and three groups respectively. A coupled receptor model, principal component analysis multiple linear regression(PCA-MLR), revealed that the sources of dust fall in Lake Chini were dominated by agricultural and biomass burning(42%),followed by the earth's crust(28%), sea spray(16%) and a mixture of soil dust and vehicle emissions(14%). 相似文献

Background, Aims and Scope The acidification of mine waters is generally caused by metal sulfide oxidation, related to mining activities. These waters
are characterized by low pH and high acidity due to strong buffering systems. The standard acidity parameter, the Base Neutralization
Capacity (BNC) is determined by endpoint titration, and reflects a cumulative parameter of both hydrogen ions and all buffering
systems, but does not give information on the individual buffer systems. We demonstrate that a detailed interpretation of
titration curves can provide information about the strength of the buffering systems. The buffering systems are of importance
for environmental studies and treatment of acidic mining waters.
Methods Titrations were carried out by means of an automatic titrator using acidic mining waters from Germany and Canada. The curves
were interpreted, compared with each other, to endpoint titration results and to elemental concentrations contained therein.
Results and Discussion The titration curves were highly reproducible, and contained information about the strength of the buffer systems present.
Interpretations are given, and the classification and comparison of acidic mining waters, by the nature and strength of their
buffering systems derived from titration curves are discussed. The BNC-values calculated from the curves were more precise
than the ones determined by the standard endpoint titration method. Due to the complex buffer mechanisms in acidic mining
waters, the calculation of major metal concentrations from the shape of the titration curve resulted in estimates, which should
not be confused with precise elemental analysis results.
Conclusion Titration curves provide an inexpensive, valuable and versatile tool, by which to obtain sophisticated information of the
acidity in acidic water. The information about the strength of the present buffer systems can help to understand and document
the complex nature of acidic mining water buffer systems. Finally, the interpretation of titration curves could help to improve
treatment measurements and the ecological understanding of these acidic waters. 相似文献

Dehalogenation of trichloroethene (TCE) in the aqueous phase, either on palladium catalysts with hydrogen as the reductant or on metallic iron, was associated with strong changes in delta13C. In general, the delta13C of product phases were more negative than those of the parent compound and were enriched with time and fraction of TCE remaining. For dehalogenation with iron, the delta13C of TCE and products varied from -42/1000 to +5/1000. For the palladium experiments, the final product, ethane, reached the initial delta13C of TCE at completion of the dehalogenation reaction. During dehalogenation, the carbon isotope fractionation between TCE and product phases was not constant. The variation in delta13C of TCE and products offers a new monitoring tool that operates independently of the initial concentration of pollutants for abiotic degradation processes of TCE in the subsurface, and may be useful for evaluation of remediation efficiency. 相似文献

The distinctive isotopic signature of plant-derived chloromethane: possible application in constraining the atmospheric chloromethane budget 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Chloromethane (CH(3)Cl) is the most abundant halocarbon in the atmosphere. Although largely of natural origin it is responsible for around 17% of chlorine-catalysed ozone destruction. Sources identified to date include biomass burning, oceanic emissions, wood-rotting fungi, higher plants and most recently tropical ferns. Current estimates reveal a shortfall of around 2 million ty(-1) in sources versus sinks for the halocarbon. It is possible that emissions from green plants have been substantially underestimated. A potentially valuable tool for validating emission flux estimates is comparison of the delta13C value of atmospheric CH(3)Cl with those of CH(3)Cl from the various sources. Here we report delta13C values for CH(3)Cl released by two species of tropical ferns and show that the isotopic signature of CH(3)Cl from pteridophytes like that of CH(3)Cl from higher plants is quite different from that of CH(3)Cl produced by biomass burning, fungi and industry. delta13C values for CH(3)Cl produced by Cyathea smithii and Angiopteris evecta were respectively -72.7 per thousand and -69.3 per thousand representing depletions relative to plant biomass of 42.3 per thousand and 43.4 per thousand. The characteristic isotopic signature of CH(3)Cl released by green plants should help constrain their contribution to the atmospheric burden when reliable delta13C values for all other major sources of CH(3)Cl are obtained and a globally averaged delta13C value for atmospheric CH(3)Cl is available. 相似文献

Poly(acrylamide-co-maleic acid)/montmorillonite nanocomposites, were synthesized via in situ polymerization with different maleic acid and MMT content. The capability of the hydrogel for adsorption of crystal violet (CV) was investigated in aqueous solutions at different pH values and temperatures. The pseudo-second-order kinetics model could fit successfully the adsorption kinetic data. The effects of maleic acid to acrylamide molar ratio (MAR), weight percent of MMT (MMT%), the pH of medium and the solution temperature (T) on the CV adsorption capacity (q e ) of adsorbents were studied by Taguchi experimental design approach. The results indicated that increasing the MMT% leads to a greater q e . The q e value of adsorbents increased also with increasing both MAR and pH, while reduced when the temperature of medium increased. The relatively optimum conditions to achieve a maximum CV adsorption capacity for P(AAm/MA)/MMT adsorbents were found as: 0.06 for MAR and 5 % of MMT%, medium pH = 7 and T = 20 °C. 相似文献
