Measurement of in-vehicle volatile organic compounds under static conditions

The types and quantities of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) inside vehicles have been determined in one new vehicle and two old vehicles under static conditions using the Thermodesorber-Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometer (TD-GC/MS).Air sampling and analysis was conducted under the requirement of USEPA Method TO-17.A room-size,environment test chamber was utilized to provide stable and accurate control of the required environmental conditions (temperature,humidity,horizontal and vertical airflow velocity,and background VOCs concentration).Static vehicle testing demonstrated that although the amount of total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) detected within each vehicle was relatively distinct (4940μg/m~3 in the new vehicle A,1240μg/m~3 in used vehicle B,and 132μg/m~3 in used vehicle C),toluene,xylene,some aromatic compounds,and various C_7-C_(12) alkanes were among the predominant VOC species in all three vehicles tested.In addition,tetramethyl succinonitrile,possibly derived from foam cushions was detected in vehicle B.The types and quantities of VOCs varied considerably according to various kinds of factors,such as,vehicle age, vehicle model,temperature,air exchange rate,and environment airflow velocity.For example,if the airflow velocity increases from 0.1 m/s to 0.7 m/s,the vehicle's air exchange rate increases from 0.15 h~(-1) to 0.67 h~(-1),and in-vehicle TVOC concentration decreases from 1780 to 1201μg/m~3.     

丁二腈高效降解菌的筛选及其降解性

以丁二腈为唯一碳源和氮源,从石化腈纶废水及其处理构筑物的生物膜中,分离、筛选出2株高效降解丁二腈的菌株:J-1-3和J-13-1.经形态学观察和生理生化特征研究,两者均被鉴定为假单胞菌(Pseudomonas spp.).通过摇瓶试验得出2菌株的最适生长条件:温度为30℃,摇床转速(间接反映通气量)为250 r/min,接种量为0.1%,初始pH为6.在最适生长条件下,分别对不同初始浓度丁二腈进行降解率试验.结果表明,2菌株对丁二腈的降解能力强,尤以J-13-1更为显著.当丁二腈的初始浓度约为6000mg/L、8000mg/L和10000mg/L时,J-13-1菌株对丁二腈的降解率分别在12.5h、14h和16h时达到100%.
