All the catalysts were prepared by co-precipitation method and further characterized by N 2 adsorption desorption, H 2 -temperature-programmed reduction, X-ray di raction, Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The prepared MoO 3 /ZrO 2 catalysts were tested in a continuous- ow pressurized xed bed reactor for CO methanation. The results revealed that the carrier precursors, MoO3 loading, and wash- ing treatment a ected not only the crystalline phase of Mo species but also the grain size of ZrO 2 carrier and consequently in uenced the MoO 3 /ZrO 2 activity toward sulfur-resistant methanation. The 25 wt% M oO 3 /ZrO 2 catalyst prepared using Zr(NO 3 ) 4 5H 2 O as the precursor and treated by water washing displayed the best activity for sulfur-resistant methanation due to its greater number of octahedral Mo species and smaller ZrO 2 grain size.展开更多

Several techniques, such as X-ray diffraction, UV-vis spectrum,and photoluminescence spectrum, were used to investigate the obtained phosphors. The present study investigates in detail photoluminescence excitation and emission properties, energy transfer between the two dopants, and effects of doping ions on optical band gap. SYP:0.05 Eu2+ phosphor shows an intense and broad excitation band ranging from 220 to 400 nm and exhibits a bright green emission band with CIE chromaticity coordinates(0.189, 0.359) under 350 nm excitation. Green emission of SYP:0.03 Tb3+ is intensified by codoping with Eu^2+, and energy transfer mechanism between them is demonstrated to be a dipole-dipole interaction. Upon 350 nm excitation, SYP:Eu^2+,Tb^3+ phosphors exhibits two dominating bands peaking at 466 and 545 nm, which are assigned to 4 f^65 d^1→4 f^7 transition of Eu^2+ ions and ~5 D4→~7 F5 transition of Tb^3+ ions, respectively. Optimal doping concentrations of Eu^2+ and Tb^3+ in the SYP host are 5 mol% and 15 mol%, respectively. Results indicate that SYP:Eu^2+,Tb^3+ phosphors are potentially used as green-emitting phosphors for white light-emitting diodes.展开更多

We present an approach for assessing the current stage maximum allowed load (SML) of acid deposition for terrestrial system in the country. The main idea was that soil base cation exchange as a finite buffer to acidity was included in the soil acidity mass balance calculation at current acidification stage. We calculated the SML for five forests in southern China. The usual critical loads for the same forests were also calculated by the steady state mass balance model for comparison. The results showed that the SML is a more tolerant limit than the critical load for the forests with soils not acidified seriously at current stage. However, the SML become a more stringent limit to acid deposition when the forest soils have acidified seriously to very low base cation saturation. In this case the SML assessment is beneficial for the soils recovering from a serious acidified state. Based on a national scale database, the SML mapping for non-agricultural soil system in China was carried out.展开更多

In this work stream waters were sampled in 25 forested sites in southern China to study the dissolved sulfur fractions. Dissolved sulfur was fractionated into dissolved organic sulfur (DOS) and inorganic sulfate (SO]-) for 95 stream water samples. The results showed that the concentration of DOS ranged from 0 to 13.1 mg/L (average 1,3 mg/L) in all the streams, High concentrations of DOS in stream waters were found in the sites with high concentrations of sulfate. DOS constituted less than 60.1% of dissolved sulfur (average 17.9%). Statistical analysis showed that DOS concentration was correlated with SO42- in streams waters and total sulfur in surface layer soils. The results also showed that DOS concentration in stream waters had a seasonal variation, but no trends were found with it. The implication was that the long term sulfur deposition had led the increase of the concentration and fraction of DOS in stream waters in acid rain prevailing regions展开更多

However, the SML become a more stringent limit to acid deposition when the forest soils have acidified seriously to very low base cation saturation. In this case the SML assessment is beneficial for the soils recovering from a serious acidified state. Based on a national scale database, the SML mapping for non-agricultural soil system in China was carried out.

文摘Dissolved organic sulfur (DOS) is an important fraction for sulfur mobilization in ecosystem. In this work stream waters were sampled in 25 forested sites in southern China to study the dissolved sulfur fractions. Dissolved sulfur was fractionated into dissolved organic sulfur (DOS) and inorganic sulfate (SO]-) for 95 stream water samples. The results showed that the concentration of DOS ranged from 0 to 13.1 mg/L (average 1,3 mg/L) in all the streams, High concentrations of DOS in stream waters were found in the sites with high concentrations of sulfate. DOS constituted less than 60.1% of dissolved sulfur (average 17.9%). Statistical analysis showed that DOS concentration was correlated with SO42- in streams waters and total sulfur in surface layer soils. The results also showed that DOS concentration in stream waters had a seasonal variation, but no trends were found with it. The implication was that the long term sulfur deposition had led the increase of the concentration and fraction of DOS in stream waters in acid rain prevailing regions

文摘Although numerous studies on heavy metals(HMs)in sediments have been carried out in the East China Sea(ECS),the knowledge on the recent pollution levels of HMs in coastal region remains not well understood due to the rapid developments of urbanization in eastern China.In this study,23 surface samples and 4 core samples are collected in the inner shelf of the ECS.The average dry-weight concentrations follow the descending order of Zn,Cr,Ni,Pb,Cu,As,Cd,and Hg(103.6±26.0,42.8±12.4,37.0±9.1,34.7±11.1,19.5±10.3,15.7±11.6,0.056±0.017,and 0.041±0.017μg g^(−1),respectively).HMs concentrations share a similar spatial distribution pattern of TOC content with a decreasing trend from coastline to outer sea.Additionally,HMs concentrations exhibit a decreasing trend from top to bottom sediments,especially for Hg at the open sites due to the wet and dry deposition of atmospheric Hg besides the riverine inputs.The potential ecological risk indices(PERI)values in coastal sediments were about 2-4 times higher than those in open sea.Although the Hg and Cd concentrations were lower by 2-3 orders of magnitude than those of other six metals,the PERI values of Hg(65.5)and Cd(52.1)were 3-40 times higher than those of others.The hierarchical cluster result is consistent with the PCA result,suggesting that Hg,Cd,and As have similar sources and probably mainly originated from anthropogenic emissions.

文摘Mercury fate of sewage irrigation in farmlands deserves attention with increasing scarcity of freshwater resources for agriculture in the worldwide.Soil-air total gaseous mercury(TGM)fluxes from four-sewage and one-fresh water irrigated farmlands were determined simultaneously.During maize-wheat rotation,soil-air TGM fluxes showed patterns of both emission and deposition during different growth stages.It enhanced one-order of magnitude emission with increased Hg contamination from historical sewage irrigation.A linear response relationship of TGM fluxes with soil Hg concentration was found,which showed greater TGM emission potential comparing with those from forest and urban soils.However,the ratio of soil-air TGM flux in daytime to nighttime were 3.94 in maize-season and 3.41 in wheat-season,respectively,which were little related to the change in soil Hg concentration.Furthermore,soil temperature and moisture,ambient-air TGM concentration all effected TGM evasion from sewage-irrigated soils.The data presented here suggest that evasion of TGMfromhistorical sewage irrigation farmlands with high Hg concentrations may be potential hotspots for Hg emission in atmosphere,and it was likely to underestimate Hg emissions from farmlands in existing emissions inventory.Additional regionalinvestigations and process-level researches are needed to better understand role of sewage irrigation farmlands in local-global Hg-biogeochemical-cycles.
