Mg in soil outside of the pipe and the dirt inside of the pipe was quantitatively analyzed and compared by using the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy （LIBS）. Firstly, Mg was quantitatively analyzed on the basis of Mg I 285.213 nm by calibration curve for integrated intensity and peak intensity of the spectrum before and after subtracting noise, respectively. Then calibration curves on the basis of Mg II 279.553 nm and Mg II 280.270 nm were analyzed. The results indicated that it is better to use integrated intensity after subtracting noise of the spectrum line with high relative intensity to make the calibration curve.展开更多

Single land use impervious areas (parking and roads) were observed and analyzed in commercial and residential areas for organic matters, phosphorus and heavy metals. The buildup data were collected for approximately six months from December to June. The frequency of monitoring was observed daily for the first two months, twice a week for the next two months and once a week for the last two months. The results indicated significant variations in the organic matters and heavy metals strength and total accumulation among the observed areas. High pollutants strength was associated with smaller dust and dirt (DD) particles. Concentrations of phosphorus varied between 5.1 μg/g and 8.3 μg/g in DD particle less than 75 μm and account for 35%-60% of the total phosphorus. The organic matter accumulation rate associated with particles less than 600 μm and greater than 600 μm was 0.1-1 g·(curb-m) -1 ·d -1 and 0.1- 1.5 g·(curb-m) -1 ·d -1 , respectively. DD particles greater than 600 μm consist of 70%-90% of leaves and other plant residues. The strength of heavy metals was more at road compared to parking areas both in commercial and residential areas. Percentage of Zn, Cu and Pb attached with particles less than 200 μm were in the range of 50%-70% in parking, 45%-90% on smooth roads and 30%-80% on rough roads. All the dust and dirt exhibited rising trend with time. Dust and dirt buildup data follow a non-linear accumulation function and can be presented better either by an exponential or power function.展开更多

An organic-inorganic hybrid superhydrophobic coating is prepared by the sol-gel method using methyltriethoxysilane as a precursor and waste cement-based dust as a film-forming material. Orthogonal experiments and a comprehensive scoring method were used to optimize the composition and production technologies. Our results show that this superhydrophobic organic-inorganic hybrid coating has an average static contact angle of 151.65° and low water adhesion. Related tests reveal that the dirt pickup resistance, washing resistance and film-substrate cohesion of this coating are also outstanding. The multi-scale physical and chemical mechanisms behind the properties of the coating are investigated. This recycled cement-based coating can be used as the external cover of engineering structures to protect them from corrosion.展开更多
