Generation rates and emission factors of particulate matter and particle-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons of incense sticks

The generation rates and emission factors of particulate matter and associated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from incense burning were assessed in a laboratory setting. The differences among different segments of the same stick, among different sticks of the same kind of incense, and between two kinds of manually made Chih-Chen incense sticks (A and B) were evaluated. Joss sticks were burned inside a 44 cm long elutriator; personal environmental monitors fitted into the top of the elutriator were used to take PM2.5 and PM10 samples of incense smoke. Samples were analyzed for PAHs by gas chromatography-flame ionization Detector. It was found that particle and associated PAHs were generated approximately at 561 microg/min (geometric standard deviation (GSD) = 1.1) and 0.56 microg/min (GSD = 1.1) from Incense A, and at 661 microg/min (GSD = 1.7) and 0.46 microg/min (GSD = 1.3) from Incense B, respectively. One gram of Incense A emitted about 19.8 mg (GSD = 1.1) particulate matter and 17.1 microg (GSD = 1.2) particulate-phase PAHs, while one gram of Incense B produced around 43.6 mg (GSD = 1.1) of particles and 25.2 microg (GSD = 1.2) of particle-bound PAHs. There were significant differences in emissions between Incenses A and B, although they belong to the same class of incense. A 10-20% variability in emissions was observed in the main part of the manually produced stick, and a larger variation was found at both tips of the combustible part.     

Emission characteristics of air pollutants from incense and candle burning in indoor atmospheres

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particles emitted by incense sticks and candles combustion in an experimental room have been monitored on-line and continuously with a high time resolution using a state-of-the-art high sensitivity-proton transfer reaction-mass spectrometer (HS-PTR-MS) and a condensation particle counter (CPC), respectively. The VOC concentration–time profiles, i.e., an increase up to a maximum concentration immediately after the burning period followed by a decrease which returns to the initial concentration levels, were strongly influenced by the ventilation and surface interactions. The obtained kinetic data set allows establishing a qualitative correlation between the elimination rate constants of VOCs and their physicochemical properties such as vapor pressure and molecular weight. The emission of particles increased dramatically during the combustion, up to 9.1(±0.2)?×?10⁴ and 22.0(±0.2)?×?10⁴ part cm^?3 for incenses and candles, respectively. The performed kinetic measurements highlight the temporal evolution of the exposure level and reveal the importance of ventilation and deposition to remove the particles in a few hours in indoor environments.     

Correlation between light attenuation and particulate concentration of a coal-fired power plant emission

Measurements were made of the light attenuation and mass concentration of paniculate emissions from a coal-fired power plant on three different occasions over a 5-year period. Linear correlation coefficients of 0.99, 0.96, and 0.96 were observed for the three individual sets of measurements, and a linear correlation coefficient of 0.93 was observed for all measurements. Light attenuation-mass measurements showed similar results when the plant was operating at full and half loads. Particle size measurements were made on four different occasions during the study with similar results. A mass mean particle size of 2 ± 1 μm was measured when the particulate control equipment was operated at maximum efficiency. When the control equipment was operated at reduced efficiencies to increase emissions, a mass mean particle size of 3.5 ± 1.5 μm was measured. The work indicates that an empirically calibrated light transmissometer has the potential for monitoring the mass concentration of particulate emissions from coal-fired power plants, although the stability of such correlations and the calibration frequencies necessary to maintain specific accuracies need to be better defined.     

多硼酸盐的分散作用及其对碳酸钙沉淀的影响

采用静态电导率法,研究了不同温度及硼浓度条件下,硼砂和合成的五水合五硼酸钠（SPP）对碳酸钙临界过饱和度值的影响,并利用多晶X射线衍射仪、扫描电子显微镜和能谱仪对碳酸钙沉淀进行表征。结果表明,硼砂和SPP具有分散作用,硼含量越高,分散作用越好。随着温度升高（20~70℃）,硼砂和SPP的分散作用均降低,但SPP更具有耐温性。进一步研究发现,硼砂和SPP能够捕获Ca2+,导致沉淀量减少,同时能够降低碳酸钙结晶度,但是不改变碳酸钙的晶型和成分。SPP的分散作用更明显,导致沉淀中出现球状和盘状结构。这可能是由于SPP溶液中[B5O6（OH）4]-阴离子特殊的三维骨架结构更易捕获Ca2+,阻止沉淀晶粒的生成。研究结果可为高效多硼酸盐分散剂的研发提供依据。

废旧电路板与碳酸钙共热解脱卤的研究

采用热重分析仪和石英管式炉热解反应器,分别对以酚醛树脂为基板的废旧电路板和混合碳酸钙后的废旧电路板进行热解实验研究,着重考察了添加碳酸钙后的酚醛树脂基板废旧电路板热解特性及添加量不同对卤素脱除效果的影响。实验结果表明,碳酸钙的加入对废旧电路板的降解行为和热解油的基本组成没有明显的影响,但热解油的各组分含量有所差异;随着热解温度的提高或者CaCO₃含量的增多,卤素可以更多地由有机卤向无机卤转变并束缚在固体残渣中,由此得到较好的脱卤效果。当60%PR-WPCBs与40%CaCO₃共热解,热解油中的溴化物也减少了7.6% 。在600℃等量CaCO₃与PR-WPCBs共热解时生成75.6%无机卤,其中70.62%束缚于固体残渣中,可见达到较好的脱卤效果。     

Relationships between emission sources and air mass characteristics in East Asia during the TRACE-P period

Long-range transport of pollutants influenced by anthropogenic and natural emission sources in East Asia is investigated by using backward trajectory analysis along the NASA TRACE-P flight tracks and a numerical simulation with the three-dimensional chemical transport model (STEM-2k1). Observation-based regional distributions of trace gases are reconstructed using the observations obtained by measurements on board the DC-8 and P3-B aircrafts. Systematic features of the spatial distribution for each species are identified. It is found that the observed concentrations of CO and some NMHCs, and the ratios between these species, are highly associated with the source distribution features and their regional characteristics. Reconstructed fields of the observed and modeled ethane/CO and ethane/propane are found to reproduce well the estimated emission ratios in East Asia. We also investigated the time rate of change of the concentration of species and their ratio along the trajectory. From this analysis the propane/ethane and propane/acetylene ratios are shown to preserve their emission ratios during regional transport. However systematic differences in the propane vs. acetylene/CO relationships are found between the model and observation values. This analysis suggests that further efforts are needed to improve the estimates of biomass burning emissions in SE Asia. The results presented in this paper also suggest ways to further extend the capabilities to derive observation-based inventories.

Incubation-derived calcium carbonate equivalence of papermill boiler ashes derived from sludge and wood sources

The burning of a papermill sludge and wood mixture and landspreading the resulting ash is a potential means of disposal of papermill sludge without the use of valuable landfill space. This study evaluated the effectiveness of ashes derived from a mixture of papermill sludge and wood sources to act as an alternative liming agent. The calcium carbonate equivalence of the material was determined using a 91-day laboratory incubation test with three mineral soils and one organic horizon soil. Application rates of soil-incorporated sludge-ash ranged from 2.30 to 32.2 g per kg soil. Soil pH increased linearly with increasing sludge-ash application rate. The calcium carbonate equivalence of the material varied temporally and the average value ranged from 19% to 28%. The fraction of total P, K and Mg added with the sludge-ash and extracted from the ash-amended soils using an NH4OAc based soil test method were 2.6, 3.8 and 17.6%, respectively. The low soil test extractability of ash-derived plant nutrients suggests that this material would provide only a modest increase in plant available nutrient levels in landspread fields.     

Biomineralization-based conversion of carbon dioxide to calcium carbonate using recombinant carbonic anhydrase

Recently, as a mimic of the natural biomineralization process, the use of carbonic anhydrase (CA), which is an enzyme catalyzing fast reversible hydration of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate, has been suggested for biological conversion of CO₂ to valuable chemicals. While purified bovine CA (BCA) has been used in previous studies, its practical utilization in CO₂ conversion has been limited due to the expense of BCA preparation. In the present work, we investigated conversion of CO₂ into calcium carbonate as a target carbonate mineral by using a more economical, recombinant CA. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the usage of recombinant CA for biological CO₂ conversion. Recombinant α-type CA originating in Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NCA) was highly expressed as a soluble form in Escherichia coli. We found that purified recombinant NCA which showed comparable CO₂ hydration activity to commercial BCA significantly promoted formation of solid CaCO₃ through the acceleration of CO₂ hydration rate, which is naturally slow. In addition, the rate of calcite crystal formation was also accelerated using recombinant NCA. Moreover, non-purified crude recombinant NCA also showed relatively significant ability. Therefore, recombinant CA could be an effective, economical biocatalyst in practical CO₂ conversion system.
