The results indicated that the annual corrosion rate of pure copper was approximately 2.90 μm/a. An uneven distribution of corrosion products was observed by scanning electron microscopy; this uneven distribution was attributed to the dehydration process during wet–dry and cold–hot cycles, and the compositions mainly consisted of cuprite (Cu2O) and atacamite (Cu2Cl(OH)3). Electrochemical measurements showed that deposits on copper improved its resistance to corrosion and the protectiveness decreased with increasing temperature. On the other hand, results obtained using the scanning vibrating electrode technique showed that the porous and uneven structure of the deposit layer generated a spatial separation of cathodic and anodic reaction sites, which accelerated the corrosion process in wet and rainy weather.展开更多

According to Principle Component Analysis (PCA) of PCBs, the possible sources were studied. Relationship between PCBs and soil organic materials revealed that higher chlorinated PCBs are more inclined to be adsorbed by particles rich of organic materials. But the low chlorinated homologues are dominant in Beijing soils, which is very different from the foreign studies. It was concluded that the application of relatively low chlorinated commercial PCBs in China was the main reason leading to this homologue composition character. Besides, the relatively short pollution history is also one of the main reasons. PCA of PCBs data in Beijing soil and atmospheric deposition samples revealed that some other emission sources such as atmospheric deposition, automobile exhaust; chemical and petrochemical industry and steel industry may be the important reasons of elevated PCBs concentrations in Beijing soil展开更多
