The results are shown as follows. （1） The API exhibits obvious seasonal variability as the number of air pollution days increases by the year. For most of the local monitoring stations, it is the most from January to March, a little less from July to September and the least from April to June. （2） There are four typical types of weather situations that are responsible for the air pollution in Hong Kong： tropical cyclones, continental cold highs, transformed highs that have moved out to sea and low pressure troughs.展开更多

Experimental conditions ...The direct sulfation of limestone from different sources in Iran was studiedin a thermogravimetric analyzer under atmospheric pressure. All limestone samples tested have higherthan 97% CaCO_3. Experimental conditions were as follows: particle size levels ranging from 1.6 μmto 7.8 μm, four level reaction temperatures (700℃, 750℃, 800℃ and 850℃), and two SO_2concentrations (2.4 x 10^(-3) and 3.2 x 10^(-3) mol · mol^(-1)). The particle size and temperatureshowed dominant influences on the rate and level of conversion while the effect of SO_2concentration was weak. The shrinking core model can be used to describe the behavior of thesulfation process. The reaction kinetics and diffusion mechanism are both important in controllingthe rate of the process. The two key parameters of the model, chemical rate constant K_s andeffective diffusion coefficient D_(eff) were obtained. Model predictions are in good agreement withthe experimental data.展开更多

The study disclosed that the thiophene sulfides could enter into chemisorption with metal oxides such as VO, ZnO, NiO and Zn-Al-spinel. This interaction could lead to thiophene molecular structure deformation to be in an activated adsorption state, which could help to promote the conversion of thiophene sulfides in the course of catalytic cracking. The VO with a valence of 2 could provide relatively strong selective adsorption sites for the conversion of thiophene sulfides to apparently transform the molecular structures and electron cloud states of such heterocyclic sulfur compounds such as thiophene and tetramethylthiophene into an activated adsorption state. The effect of this interaction was more pronounced with respect to tetramethylthiophene.展开更多

Up to now more than 56 coal fires spots were distin-guished. They mainly locate in West-North of China, North of China and East-North of China. About millions of tons of coal have been burned in fires every year. Xinjiang Autonomy is the most serious region in coal fires as it has 38 coal fires spots and about 6.85 million tons of coal was burned every year. Coal fires in China ignited by wildfires, spontaneous combustion and human being during mining activities. These fires have re-leased about 0.9 million tons of gasses (including CO, CO2, SO2, NO2 CH4, CO2, H2S etc.) into the atmosphere every year, most of which are brought to the east by wind and result-ing more heavier air pollution in northern China.展开更多

Shale gas saw huge progress. China titus became the third country in the world fu!filling commercial development after U.S. attd Canada. Natural gas import growth and growth rate declined obviously, and the imported pipeline gas and LNG totaled 61.2 billion cubic meters in 2015. Apparent natural gas consumption was 186.5 billion cubic meters in 2015, rising by 4.4% as compared with the same period last year, but it hit a historic low. There is higher dozonward pressure on domestic macro economy in 2016. However, natural gas demand will see more rapid growth, propelled by such favorable factors as gas price regulation and environmental protection policies. It is prospected that natural gas market will take a turn for the better than in 2015, and natural gas supply will still be rich in general in 2016.展开更多
