Distribution,fractionation,and contamination assessment of heavy metals in offshore surface sediments from western Xiamen Bay,China

Surface sediment samples were collected at 21 offshore sites in western Xiamen Bay, Southeast China. Total concentrations of Li, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, St, Mn, Pb, Ba, Fe, and Ti were determined by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry; Hg was determined by atomic fluorescence spectrometry. A modified BCR sequential extraction procedure was used to extract fractions of the above elements. Concentrations of Pb, Cr, and Hg at most sites met the primary standard criteria of Marine Sediment Quality except site S12 for Pb and S7 for Cr, while concentrations of Zn at 17 sites and Cu at seven sites exceeded the criteria. The mean concentration of Hg was three times higher than the background, with a possible source being the Jiulong River. Fe, Ti, Ba, Co, V, and Li dominated the residual phase, mainly from terrestrial input. Ni, Cr, Pb, and Hg in the non-residual phase varied largely between sites. Sr, Mn, Cu, and Zn were mainly in the non- residual fraction. Most sites showed considerable ecological risk; exceptions were site S7 （very high） and sites S10, S11, and S14 （moderate）. Cu showed moderate-to-high pollution and Pb exhibited no-to-low pollution, while other metals had a non-pollution status according to their ratios of secondary phase to primary phase （RSP）. Results of two assessment methods showed moderate pollution and a very high ecological risk for Cu, Zn, Ni, and Cr at site S7, which might be due to the local sewage treatment plant.

Analysis of Cadmium in Water Extracts from Contaminated Soils with High Arsenic and Iron Concentration Levels

Cadmium （Cd） concentrations in the water extracts of ten contaminated soils by arsenic （As） with various iron （Fe） contents were measured using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry （ICP-AES） and electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry （ETAAS）, Due to the potential spectral interferences of As and Fe in the quantification of Cd, two methods were used for the background compensation. The first method was based on the use of a deuterium lamp （BGCD2 mode）. The second one required a Cd hollow cathode lamp pulsated with a current for which the intensity varies in the course of time （BGCSR mode）. The results showed that the choices of the analytical technique and the method used for the background compensation depend on the Cd, As and Fe concentrations in the solution and the concentration ratios As/Cd or/and Fe/Cd. In comparison with the ICP-AES and the ETAAS in combination with the BGCD2 mode, it was shown that the high-speed self-reversal method （HSSR） was a more appropriate method to correct As and Fe spectral interferences during the Cd measurements. On the other hand, depending on the Cd concentration, it was established that no significant Fe interference occurred during the Cd determination even if Fe concentration was 50 mg/L, reflecting the efficiency of the HSSR method to overcome the Fe interferences in the determination of Cd concentration by ETAAS without any matrix modifier in water extracts.

Effect and mechanism of dolomite with different size fractions on hematite flotation using sodium oleate as collector

The effect of dolomite with different particle size fractions on hematite flotation was studied using sodium oleate as collector at p H of about 9. The effect mechanism of dolomite on hematite flotation was investigated by means of solution chemistry, ultraviolet spectrophotometry(UV), inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry(ICP-AES) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). It is observed that dolomite with different size fractions has depressing effect on hematite flotation using sodium oleate as collector, and dolomite could be the "mineral depressant" of hematite using sodium oleate as collector. The reasons for that are concerned with sodium oleate consumption and the adsorption onto hematite of dissolved species of dolomite.

Design Near-threshold Photoelectron Imaging Spectrometer Based on UV Laser Induced Photoelectron Emission Anion Source

We have developed a compact photoelectron imaging facility, including an anion source with dissociative photoelectron attachment to molecules, a linear time-of-flight mass spec-trometry （TOFMS）, and an orthogonal high-resolution threshold photoelectron velocity map imaging spectrometer （VMI）. Intense and cold cluster anions were prepared in photoelectron- attachment processes upon pulsed UV laser ablation of metal target. Combining this anion source with TOFMS-VMI, the achieved mass resolution is about 200, and the electron ki- netic energy resolution is better than 3%, i.e., 30 meV for 1 eV electrons. More importantly, low-energy photoelectron imaging spectra for CH3S- and S2- at 611.46 nm are obtained. In both cases, the refined electron affinities are determined to be 1.86264-0.0020 eV for CH3S and 1.67444-0.0035 eV for S2, respectively. Preliminary results suggest that the apparatus is a powerful tool for estimating precise electron affinities values from threshold photoelectron imaging spectroscopy.

Molecular Frame Photoemission： Probe of the Photoionization Dynamics for Molecules in the Gas Phase

Molecular frame photoemission is a very sensitive probe of the photoionization （PI） dynamics of molecules. This paper reports a comparative study of non-resonant and resonant photoionization of D2 induced by VUV circularly polarized synchrotron radiation at SOLEIL at the level of the molecular frame photoelectron angular distributions （MFPADs）. We use the vector correlation method which combines imaging and time-of-flight resolved electron-ion coincidence techniques, and a generalized formalism for the expression of the Ⅰ（χ, θe, Фe） MFPADs, where χ is the orientation of the molecular axis with respect to the light quantization axis and （θe, Фe） the electron emission direction in the molecular frame. Selected MFPADs for a molecule aligned parallel or perpendicular to linearly polarized light, or perpendicular to the propagation axis of circularly polarized light, are presented for dissociative photoionization （DPI） of D2 at two photon excitation energies, hv=19 eV, where direct PI is the only channel opened, and hv=32.5 eV, i.e. in the region involving resonant excitation of Q1 and Q2 doubly excited state series. We discuss in particular the properties of the circular dichroism characterizing photoemission in the molecular frame for direct and resonant PI. In the latter case, a remarkable behavior is observed which may be attributed to the interference occurring between undistinguishable autoionization decay channels.

Study of Preservation Status and Dietary Reconstruction in the Human Remains Recovered from Roopkund Lake through Chemical Analysis of Faunal Remains

Present study is carried out in the bone samples collected from Roopkund Lake in district Chamoli Garhwal, Uttarakhand which is located at 5,029 meters from main sea level in between Nanda Ghunghti and Trishuli peak. This historical site belongs to 9th century A.D. All the samples selected for the study were dried in room temperature as well as hot air oven at 32 ~C. Cleaning, pretreatment and digestion process of faunal remains was followed through established scientific methods. Chemical analysis i.e. concentration of different elements such as calcium, strontium, barium, magnesium and zinc as well as isotopic ratios of Carbon and Nitrogen was estimated with the help of ICP （inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy） and AAS （atomic absorption spectrophotometer）. The results obtained from the chemical analysis are significant. On the basis of concentration of different elements and ratios of Nitrogen and Carbon isotopes, the dietary habits of the peoples buried in the Roopkund Lake are identified, which is different from sample to sample person to person. Besides this, the results are also significantly helpful for knowing the preservation status of faunal remains in Roopkund Lake. Finally this study also indicated the potentiality of chemical analysis for reconstructing the palaeodiet behaviour and preservation status of bone remains.

STUDY ON THE DETERMINATION OF TRACE Fe(Ⅲ) BY THIN LAYER RESIN PHASE SPECTROPHOTOMETRY

A method to determine Fe（Ⅲ） by thin layer resin phase spectrophotometry has been developed in this paper. The colored complex formed by Fe（Ⅲ） and 1,2-benzendiol is concentrated on the 717^# resin, then Fe（Ⅲ） can be determined directly by making thin layer. The method is sensitive with a apparent molar absorption of 4.8×10^4L/mol.cm, which is 16 times higher than that of liquid phase spectrophotornetry, most coexisting ions do not influence the determination. The detection limit for Fe（Ⅲ） is 1.47μg/L with the precision of 3.3% [n=6, 7μg/50mL Fe（Ⅲ）]. The calibration curve is linear in the range of 0-25μg/50mL. The preposed method was applied to the determination of Fe（Ⅲ） in water sample with satisfactory results.

Dissolution behavior of calcium-magnesium-silicate glass fiber

The dissolution behavior of CaO-MgO-SiO2 glass fiber was investigated by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer （FTIR） and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy （ICP-AES） using in-vitro tests. The results show that the soaked fiber is surrounded by an outer calcium-magnesium silicate hydrated layer, and there exists a balancing fimction between the formation and abscission of the hydrated layer during the dissolution process. The concentrations of leached ions increase constantly, and the mass loss of the fibers and pH changes of the solution are found to rise rapidly during the initial dissolution process, then their increasing rates are controlled by the balancing function of the hydrated layer at the subsequent dissolution stages. The dissolution rate constant and time for complete dissolution are estimated to be 274 ng/（cm2.h） and 15.2 d, respectively, presenting preferable biosolubilities.

Synthesis and Characterization of Aluminum/Carbon Nanotubes Composites： Study of Interfacial Interaction

Abstract： In this work, the authors present a study of growth and characterization of composite based on AI and CNT （carbon nanotubes. The composites were prepared by a chemical mixing method and characterized by SEM analysis, energy dispersed X-ray measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and cathodoluminescence spectroscopy. The analysis showed that the composites are formed by macro-cluster of aluminum oxide on a network of CNT without formation of chemical bonds at interface between particles. The results are compared with those obtained for a sample of CNT with AI traces （〈 0.5%）. They show that only the presence of metal traces changes the nanotubes optical properties, with a luminescence signal centered at about 380 nm. These luminescence signals are caused by the adhesion between CNT and AI micro-clusters that promote the formation of band gap with some local energy levels.

Adsorption of Chromium （VI） onto Activated Carbon Modified with KMnO4

The adsorption capacity of activated carbon modified with KMnO4 （potassium permanganate） for Cr（VI） from aqueous solution was investigated. The modified activated carbon was characterized by SEM （scanning electron microscopy）, FT-IR （Fourier transform infrared spectrometer）, and N2 adsorption/desorption tests. Adsorption of Cr（VI） from aqueous solution onto the activated carbon was investigated in a batch system. In the present study, the effect of various parameters such as pH, contact time and initial concentration on the adsorption capacity were determined by ICP-AES （inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry）. The Cr（VI） adsorption on the activated carbon conforms to the Langmuir and Freundlich isothermal adsorption equation. The rates of adsorption were found to conform to pseudo-second order kinetic. The modified activated carbon can be an effective adsorbent for Cr（VI） from the aqueous solution.

Three-dimensional hierarchical Pt-Cu superstructures

Three-dimensional （3D） hierarchical Pt-Cu tetragonal, highly branched, and dendritic superstructures have been synthesized by a facile template-free hydrothermal approach, showing growth patterns along （111, 110）, （111）, and （100） planes, respectively. These structures have been characterized by transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy （EDX）, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry （ICP-OES） and a detailed formation mechanism has been developed, which shows that the in situ formed 12 and the galvanic replacement reaction between Cu and Pt4, may guide the formation of these superstructures. The comparative electrocatalytic properties have been investigated for methanol and ethanol oxidation. Due to their interconnected arms, sufficient absorption sites, and exposed surfaces, these superstructures exhibit enhanced electrocatalytic performance for electro-oxidation of methanol and ethanol when compared with commercial Pt/C and Pt black.

Preparation,characterization and photocatalytic performance of Mo-doped ZnO photocatalysts

A series of Mo-doped ZnO photocatalysts with different Mo-dopant concentrations have been prepared by a grind- ing-calcination method. The structure of these photocatalysts was characterized by a variety of methods, including N2 physical adsorption, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, Fourier transform infrared （FT-IR） spectroscopy, photoluminescence （PL） emission spectroscopy, and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy （DRS）. It was found that Mo6＋ could enter into the crystal lattice of ZnO due to the radius of MO6＋ （0.065 nm） being smaller than that of Zn2＋ （0.083 nm）. XRD results indicated that Mo6＋ suppressed the growth of ZnO crystals. The FT-IR spectroscopy results showed that the ZnO with 2 wt.% Mo-doping has a higher level of surface hydroxyl groups than pure ZnO. PL spectroscopy indicated that ZnO with 2 wt.% Mo-doping also exhibited the largest reduction in the intensity of the emission peak at 390 nm caused by the recombi- nation of photogenerated hole-electron pairs. The activities of the Mo-doped ZnO photocatalysts were investigated in the pho- tocatalytic degradation of acid orange II under UV light （2 = 365 nm） irradiation. It was found that ZnO with 2 wt.% Mo-doping showed much higher photocatalytic activity and stability than pure ZnO. The high photocatalytic performance of the Mo-doped ZnO can be attributed to a great improvement in the surface properties of ZnO, higher crystallinity and lower recombination rate of photogenerated hole-electron （e-/h＋） pairs. Moreover, the undoped Mo species may exist in the form of MoO3 and form MoO3/ZnO heterojunctions which further favors the separation of e/h＋ pairs.

Amplified circularly polarized luminescence promoted by hierarchical selfassembly involving Pt···Pt interactions

The design and construction of highly effective circularly polarized luminescence(CPL)-active materials has aroused considerable attention due to their widespread applications in sensors,optical devices,and asymmetric synthesis.However,the exploration of novel CPL-active materials with high luminescence dissymmetry factor(glum)values is still a challenge.Herein,we describe a new approach for the preparation of supramolecular metallacycles with amplified CPL promoted by hierarchical self-assembly involving Pt···Pt interactions.Notably,the resultant metallacycles exhibited strong CPL signals with high glum values,while their corresponding precursors were CPL silent.The CPL amplification mechanism was comprehensively validated by ultravioletvisible absorption,emission spectroscopy,nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy,scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy,atomic force microscopy,coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations,and timedependent density functional theory calculations.This work thus provides the first example of preparing highly effective CPL-active materials based on hierarchical self-assembly involving Pt···Pt interactions.

Tunable ultraviolet to deep blue light emission from sulfur nanodots fabricated by a controllable fission-aggregation strategy

Bright tunable light emission in the short wavelength range from sulfur nanodots was demonstrated with a photoluminescence quantum yield(PLQY)of up to 59.4%.A fission-aggregation mechanism was proposed for the formation of sulfur nanodots with desired performances.This synthetic strategy allowed for simultaneous size control from 3.2 to 5.6 nm,thus tuning the emission color from ultraviolet(UV)to deep blue(342±430 nm),and for the suppression of unwanted nonradiative recombination centers and deep level emission.The luminescence mechanism and quantum confinement effect of the synthesized sulfur nanodots were investigated by optical spectroscopy and theoretical calculations.These results show promise toward the application of sulfur nanodots in UV optoelectronics,biomedical treatments,and sterilization.
