Impact of Electronic Wastes Recycling on Environmental Quality

Objective To evaluate the environmental quality of Guiyu, Guangdong impacted by the electronic waste recycling industry. Methods The surface water, ground water and sediment samples taken separately from two sites that recycle E-wastes and other rubbish relevant to the E-waste recycling, and an agricultural area, were analyzed, and the data were used to evaluate the impact of E-waste recycling on the environmental quality of Guiyu based on environmental quality standards in China. Results The concentrations of lead and iron in the surface water samples significantly different in the three locations. The maximum value of lead in the first site was 8 times higher than the threshold of environmental quality standards for surface water. The concentration of iron in polluted sample was 22 times that of the background sample. Manganese and iron also showed a significant difference in ground water samples between the three sites. The amount of iron was 22 times that of the threshold of the quality standard for ground water, and 120 times that of the background sample. Moreover, the results of all the eight heavy metals showed significant differences among the sediment samples. The concentrations of copper, cadmium, nickel, and lead in the polluted samples were above the median benchmarks of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration （NOAA）. The copper concentration of 2670 mg/kg was 10 times that of the median benchmark. Conclusion E-waste recycling has led to the severe pollution Guiyu.

Absolute partial and total ionization cross sections of carbon monoxide with electron collision from 350 eV to 8000 eV

The absolute partial and total cross sections for electron impact ionization of carbon monoxide are reported for electron energies from 350 eV to 8000 eV.The product ions(CO^(+),C^(+),O^(+),CO^(2+),C^(2+),and O^(2+))are measured by employing an ion imaging mass spectrometer and two ion-pair dissociation channels(C^(+)+O^(+)and C^(2+)+O^(+))are identified.The absolute cross sections for producing individual ions and their total,as well as for the ion-pair dissociation channels are obtained by normalizing the data of CO^(+)to that of Ar^(+)from CO-Ar mixture target with a fixed 1:1 ratio.The overall errors are evaluated by considering various kinds of uncertainties.A comprehensive comparison is made with the available data,which shows a good agreement with each other over the energy ranges that are overlapped.This work presents new cross-section data with electron energies above 1000 eV.

双哌嗪盐类化合物电子轰击离子化质谱研究（STUDY ON BIS—PIPERAZINIUM SALTS（M2＋2Br-2HCI） BY ELECTRON IMPACT IONIZATION MASS SPECTROMETRY）

Electron impact ionization mass spectra of six new synthetic bis-piperazinium salts (M2+ 2Br-2HC1) with anti-tumor activities were obtained. Although the M+ ions and double charge ions M2+ were notobserved in E1 mass spectra, some strange ions such as [M-2]+ ions,[M-R]+ ions , [M-R-l]+ ions, [M-2R]+ ions and even [RX]+ ions presented in EIMS by decreasing the electron energy. These phenomena may be explained as R+ rearrangement and intermolecular reaction occurring in the condensed phase. We tried to describe the main routes of fragmentation and high sensitive mass spectra of the fragments oaboutthese compounds.

Impact of Surface Passivation on the Electronic Structure and Optical Properties of the Si1-xGex Nanowires

The electronic structures and optical properties of the [llO]-oriented Sil-xGex nanowires （NWs） passivated with different functional groups （-H, -F and-OH） are investigated by using first-principles calculations. The results show that surface passivation influences the characteristics of electronic band structures significantly： the band gap widths and types （direct or indirect） of the Si1-xGe, NWs with different terminators show complex and robust variations, and the effective masses of the electrons in the NWs can be modulated dramatically by the terminators. The study of optical absorption shows that the main peaks of the parallel polarization component of Si1-x Gex NWs passivated with the functional groups exhibit prominent changes both in height and position, and are red-shifted with respect to those of corresponding pure Si NWs, indicating the importance of both the terminators and Ge concentrations. Our results demonstrate that the electronic and optical properties of Si1-xGex NWs can be tuned by utilizing selected functional groups as well as particular Ge concentrations for customizing purposes.

Mass Spectrometric Fragmentation of 1-(Benzyloxycarbonyl)amino-2-alkyl/cycloalkyl Thioacetates:a Thioester Pyrolysis-type Rearrangement under Electron Impact Ionization

The mass spectrometric fragmentation of 1-（benzyloxycarbonyl）amino-2-alkyl/cycloalkyl thioacetates has been studied with the aid of mass-analysed ion kinetic energy spectrometry under electron impact ionization. All compounds show a tendency to eliminate a ketene, thioacetic acid, and benzyl carbamate molecule, or an acetyl and benzyloxy radicals. A thioester pyrolysis-type rearrangement under electron impact ionizations was observed.

Benchmark Integral Cross Sections for Electron Impact Excitation of the n=2 States in Helium

In this paper, we present integral cross sections （ICS） for electron impact excitation of the n = 2 levels in helium in the impact energy range of 23.5 eV to 35 eV. The ICS of each final state, 2^3S, 2^1S, 2^3P and 2^1P, has been determined by integration of the angular differential cross sections （DCS） over all of 0° to 180°, where those DCS were obtained from both our previous experiments and the extrapolation using the convergent close coupling calculation. The present experimental ICS for the optically allowed 21P transition state are also compared with those obtained from the BE f-scaling method. Very good agreement between the experimental and BE f-scaled 21P ICSs is generally found in the measured impact energy region.

Resonance enhanced electron impact excitation for P-like Cu XV

Employing both the Dirac R-matrix and the relativistic distorted wave with independent process and isolated reso- nance approaches, we report resonance enhanced electron impact excitation data （specifically, effective collision strengths） among the lowest 41 levels from the n = 3 configurations of Cu XV. The results show that the latter approach can obtain resonance contributions reasonably well for most excitations of Cu XV, though a comparison between the two approaches shows that the close-coupling effects are truly significant for rather weak excitations, especially for two-electron excitations from the 3s3p4 to 3s23p23d configuration. Resonance contributions are significant （more than two orders of magnitude） for many excitations and dramatically influence the line intensity ratios associated with density diagnostics.

Electron impact excitation of Ni-like gold studied by Dirac R-matrix method

We calculate the electron impact excitation of Ni-like gold by using the Dirac R-matrix theory, and the cor- responding collision strengths and effective collision strengths are obtained. In the calculations of the level energy, （1sZ2sZ2p6）3sZ3p63d10, 3s23p63d94/, 3s23p53d104/, and 3s3p63d104/（l = 0, 1,2,3） configurations are included and 107 fine-structure levels are generated. In the calculations of the collision strengths, only the first 59 levels are included. Com- parisons are made with the distorted wave （DW） results of Zeng et al. for both collision strengths and effective collision strengths. For the collision strengths, the two sets of calculations are in excellent agreement for most of the transitions. However, because of the inclusion of the resonances, our effective collision strengths are generally several times larger than those of Zeng et al.. The accuracy of our calculations is assessed.

Electron impact excitation of helium atom

A method to deal with the electron impact excitation cross sections of an atom from low to high incident energies are presented. This method combines the partial wave method and the first Born approximation(FBA), i.e., replacing the several lowest partial wave cross sections of the total cross sections within FBA by the corresponding exact partial wave cross sections. A new set of codes are developed to calculate the FBA partial wave cross sections. Using this method,the convergent e–He collision cross sections of optical-forbidden and optical-allowed transitions at low to high incident energies are obtained. The calculation results demonstrate the validity and efficiency of the method.

Structural Effect on Electron Impact Decomposition of 1,3-and 1,4-Cyclohexane Dinitrites

Alkyl dinitrites have at-tracted attention as an im-portant type of nitrosating agent and a pollution source in atmosphere.The reac-tivity and chemistry of alkyl dinitrites induced by the two ONO functional groups are relatively unknown.In this work,decompositions of 1,3-cyclohexane dinitrite and 1,4-cyclohexane dinitrite are studied by electron impact ionization mass spectroscopy(EI-MS).Apart from NO^(+)(m=z=30),fragment ions m=z=43 and 71 are the most abundant for the 1,3-isomer.On the other hand,fragments m=z=29,57,85,and 97 stand out in the EI-MS spectrum of 1,4-isomer.Possible dissociation mechanisms of the two dinitrites are proposed by theoretical calculations.The results reveal that the ring-opening of 1,3-cyclohexane dinitrite mainly starts from the intermediate ion(M-NO)^(+)by cleavage of twoαC-βC bonds.For 1,4-cyclohexane dinitrite,in addition to the decomposition via intermediate(M-NO)^(+),cleavage ofβC-βC bonds can occur directly from the parent cation(M)^(+).The results will help to understand the structural related chemistry of alkyl dinitrites in atmosphere and in NO transfer process.

Ion-Pair Dissociations of Br CN by Electron Impacts

Ion-pair dissociation is an important molecular process and frequently happens when the target molecule is pumped to its electronically superexcited states. In contrast to the experimental studies of photoexcitation ion-pair dissociation, there are some experimental challenges in the electron-impact ion-pair dissociation study, in particular, on determination of the energetic threshold. Here we report an experimental development for the ion-pair dissociation study by using the monochromized electron impacts. As an example, the threshold of BrCN→Br^-+CN^+ is determined as 13.78 eV according to the appearance energy of CN^+ signals, meanwhile, the time-sliced ion velocity image of CN^+ is recorded at 16.09 eV and indicates an anisotropic distribution of the CN^+ momentum.

M_(αβ) X-ray production cross sections of Pb and B iby 9–40 keV electron impact

The experimental data of Mαβ X-ray production cross sections for Pb and Bi by 9–40 keV electron impact have been given. Thin films with thick carbon substrates are used in the experiment. The effects of target structure on the Mαβ X-ray production cross sections are corrected by using the Monte Carlo method. The corrected experimental data are compared with calculated cross sections in terms of the distorted-wave Born approximation(DWBA) theory. The measured Mαβ X-ray production cross sections for Pb and Bi are lower than the DWBA calculations. The atomic relaxation parameters used in comparing the DWBA values with experimental results affect the degree of difference.

An effective method to calculate the electron impact excitation cross sections of helium from ground state to a final channel in the whole energy region

The electron impact excitation(EIE) cross sections of an atom/ion in the whole energy region are needed in many research fields, such as astrophysics studies, inertial confinement fusion researches and so on. In the present work, an effective method to calculate the EIE cross sections of an atom/ion in the whole energy region is presented. We use the EIE cross sections of helium as an illustration example. The optical forbidden 1^(1)S–n^(1)S(n = 2–4) and optical allowed 1^(1)S–n^(1)P(n = 2–4) excitation cross sections are calculated in the whole energy region using the scheme that combines the partial wave R-matrix method and the first Born approximation. The calculated cross sections are in good agreement with the available experimental measurements. Based on these accurate cross sections of our calculation, we find that the ratios between the accurate cross sections and Born cross sections are nearly the same for different excitation final states in the same channel. According to this interesting property, a universal correction function is proposed and given to calculate the accurate EIE cross sections with the same computational efforts of the widely used Born cross sections,which should be very useful in the related application fields. The datasets presented in this paper are openly available at https://www.doi.org/10.57760/sciencedb.j00113.00142.

Odour Impact Assessment by Means of Dispersion Modeling, Dynamic Olfactometry and Mobile Electronic Nose around Agadir Fishing Port in Morocco

Odorous emissions emitted from various sources including industrial and commercial activities have particular concerns about human health. These malodors emissions are an environmental concern that affects health status and social life of the neighbors. That requires the local authority to set up a management strategy to control this nuisance. The evaluation of odour emissions from fishing port is complex because these emissions depend on several factors such as multiple sources of odor emissions, meteorological conditions, topography and others. That imposes the use of complementary approaches to monitor odours. In this paper, the case of Agadir fishing port is studied, which is adjacent to the tourist area and residential neighborhoods and which hosts a number of points that can generate odors. To assess this odour impact, three methods are used such as dynamic olfactometry, dispersion modeling and mobile electronic nose (e-nose). The use of these three methods in a complementary manner to assess odour impacts around a fishing port allowed both the quantification of the emissions using dynamic olfactometry and the evaluation of their impact on the study area with model dispersion. The results enabled also to identify the most affected areas of the city by odor emissions and to recognize the meteorological parameters maximizing odor impact. The other goal of this work is to compare the results of the odour dispersion modeling and e-nose measurements for one year in terms of frequency of overtaking the set alert thresholds over the same period. Comparison highlights the strengths and weaknesses of both approaches. Modeling can be used predicatively but it does not take into account fugitive emissions reliably in the absence of data on these emissions, modeling based on the hourly average misjudges the odor peaks, while e-nose made it possible to obtain validated data and provides accurate, affordable and real-time odour measurement capability tacking in to account the role of human perception without being able to characterize the extent of the odor nuisance caused by each source. We conclude that these three valuation methods provide complementary information about odor nuisance and reasonable estimates of odors.
