The O3-induced wheat yield loss was estimated by utilizing O3exposure-response models. The results showed that:(1) During the growing season(7 March to 7 June, 2012), the minimum(16.1 ppb V) and maximum(53.3 ppb V)mean O3 concentrations occurred at approximately 6:30 and 16:00, respectively. The mean and maximum of all measured O3 concentrations were 31.3 and 128.4 ppb V, respectively. The variation of O3 concentration was mainly affected by solar radiation and temperature.(2) The mean diurnal variation of deposition velocity(V d) can be divided into four phases, and the maximum occurred at noon(12:00). Averaged V d during daytime(6:00–18:00) and nighttime(18:00–6:00) were 0.42 and 0.14 cm/sec, respectively. The maximum of measured V d was about1.5 cm/sec. The magnitude of V d was influenced by the wheat growing stage, and its variation was significantly correlated with both global radiation and friction velocity.(3) The maximum mean F o appeared at 14:00, and the maximum measured F o was-33.5 nmol/(m^2·sec). Averaged F o during daytime and nighttime were-6.9 and-1.5 nmol/(m^2·sec), respectively.(4) Using O3 exposure-response functions obtained from the USA, Europe, and China, the O3-induced wheat yield reduction in the district was estimated as 12.9% on average(5.5%–23.3%). Large uncertainties were related to the statistical methods and environmental conditions involved in deriving the exposure-response functions.展开更多

CNFs have been synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method by using metal formate as catalyst precursors at 680℃. Products were characterized by SEM, TEM, Raman spectroscopy and XRD method. By thermal analysis, the purity of the as grown products and purified products were determined. This method avoids calcination and reduction process which was employed in commercial catalysts such as metal oxide or nitrate. The problems such as detrimental effect, environmental and even cost have been overcome by using sodium chloride as support. The yield of CNFs up to 7800 wt.% relative to the nickel catalyst has been achieved in the growth time of 15 min. The advantage of this synthesis technique is the simplicity and use of easily available low cost precursors.展开更多
