Exploring the impact of economic growth and energy consumption on SO_(2) emissions in China based on the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis

This study aims to analysis the influence of economic growth(EG)and energy consumption(EC)on sulfur dioxide emissions(SE)in China.Accordingly,this study explores the link between EG,EC,and SE for 30 provinces in China over the span of 2000-2019.This study also analyzes cross-sectional dependence tests,panel unit root tests,Westerlund panel cointegration tests,Dumitrescu-Hurlin(D-H)causality tests.According to the test results,there is an inverted U-shaped association between EG and SE,and the assumption of the Environmental Kuznets Curve(EKC)is verified.The signs of EG and EC in the fixed effect(FE)and random effect(RE)methods are in line with those in the dynamic ordinary least squares(DOLS),fully modified ordinary least squares(FMOLS)and autoregressive distributed lag(ARDL)estimators.Moreover,the results verified that EC can obviously positive impact the SE.To reduce SE in China,government and policymakers can improve air quality by developing cleaner energy sources and improving energy efficiency.This requires the comprehensive use of policies,regulations,economic incentives,and public participation to promote sustainable development.

Highly defective HKUST-1 with excellent stability and SO_(2) uptake: The hydrophobic armor effect of functionalized ionic liquids

Water stability is one of the most important factors restricting the practical application of metal organic frameworks (MOFs). In this work, wefabricate a highly defective HKUST-1 framework with a mixed valence of CuI/CuIIby mechanical ball milling method. This defective HKUST-1is embellished by functionalized ionic liquids as hydrophobic armor, making the hybrid HIL1@HKUST-1 exhibits outstanding water stability,remarkable SO_(2) adsorption (up to 5.71 mmol g^(-1)), and record-breaking selectivity (1070 for SO_(2)/CO_(2) and 31,515 for SO_(2)/N_(2)) at 25 ℃ and0.1 bar, even in wet conditions.

The KEu(WO_(4))_(2)Red Phosphor Co-doped with Li^(+)and SO_(4)^(2-)for Synergistic Enhancement of High Efficiency and Thermal Stability

A series of tungstate red phosphors K_(1-x)Li_(x)Eu(WO_(4))_(2-y)(SO_(4))_(y)were successfully prepared by sol-gel method,and the effects of the introduction of Li^(+)and SO_(4)^(2-)on the fluorescence intensity and thermal quenching properties of the prepared K_(1-x)Li_(x)Eu(WO_(4))_(2-y)(SO_(4))_(y)phosphors were investigated.The X-ray diffraction data show that the prepared(Li^(+)and SO_(4)^(2-))-doped KEu(WO_(4))_(2)phosphors have a monoclinic tetragonal structure.In addition,the emission intensities of all the observed emission peaks change significantly with the increase of Li~+doping concentration,especially the intensity of the emission peaks at 615 nm fluctuated significantly and reached the maximum at x=0.3 and y=0.2.The K_(1-x)Li_(x)Eu(WO_(4))_(2-y)(SO_(4))_(y)phosphors are found to have the highest fluorescence intensity at x=0.3 and y=0.2.Moreover,the K_(0.7)Li_(0.3)Eu(WO_(4))_(1.8)(SO_(4))_(0.2)phosphor has better thermal quenching properties and luminescence efficiency,and the experimental results indicates that the fluorescence intensity and thermal burst performance of KEu(WO_(4))_(2)red phosphor could be effectively improved by using low-cost bionic doping of Li^(+)and SO_(4)^(2-).

Study of the reaction mechanism for preparing powdered activated coke with SO_(2)adsorption capability via one-step rapid activation method under flue gas atmosphere

In this study,the impact of different reaction times on the preparation of powdered activated carbon(PAC)using a one-step rapid activation method under flue gas atmosphere is investigated,and the underlying reaction mechanism is summarized.Results indicate that the reaction process of this method can be divided into three stages:stage I is the rapid release of volatiles and the rapid consumption of O_(2),primarily occurring within a reaction time range of 0-0.5 s;stage II is mainly the continuous release and diffusion of volatiles,which is the carbonization and activation coupling reaction stage,and the carbonization process is the main in this stage.This stage mainly occurs at the reaction time range of 0.5 -2.0 s when SL-coal is used as material,and that is 0.5-3.0 s when JJ-coal is used as material;stage III is mainly the activation stage,during which activated components diffuse to both the surface and interior of particles.This stage mainly involves the reaction stage of CO_(2)and H2O(g)activation,and it mainly occurs at the reaction time range of 2.0-4.0 s when SL-coal is used as material,and that is 3.0-4.0 s when JJ-coal is used as material.Besides,the main function of the first two stages is to provide more diffusion channels and contact surfaces/activation sites for the diffusion and activation of the activated components in the third stage.Mastering the reaction mechanism would serve as a crucial reference and foundation for designing the structure,size of the reactor,and optimal positioning of the activator nozzle in PAC preparation.

Analysis of the effect of the 2021 Semeru eruption on water vapor content and atmospheric particles using GNSS and remote sensing

Mount Semeru,an active volcano in East Java,Indonesia,erupted on December 4,2021,following extreme rainfall that caused an avalanche of hot pyroclastic flows and lava.The tropospheric conditions and dominant particle components in the atmosphere can be monitored using Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS)technology and remote sensing satellites.GNSS signal propagation delay in Precise Point Positioning(PPP)processing can be used to determine Zenith Tropospheric Delay(ZTD)and Precipitable Water Vapor(PWV)variables so that atmospheric conditions can be generated.In addition,by using remote sensing satellite data,it is possible to obtain rainfall data with high temporal resolution as well as the dominant particle and gas content values during eruptions.During the eruption period,the high value of PWV was dominated by the high intensity of precipitation during the rainy season.High rainfall before the eruption caused activity inside the mountain to increase,which occurred in avalanche type eruption.Apart from that,the atmosphere around Semeru was also dominated by SO_(2)content,which spreaded for tens of kilometers.SO_(2)content began to be detected significantly by remote sensing sensors on December 7,2021.In this study,deformation and atmospheric monitoring were also carried out using low-cost GNSS at the Semeru Monitoring Station on September 9-15,2022.The results of the ZTD and ZWD values show the dominance of the wet component,which is directly proportional to rainfall activity in this period.

Research on the impact of manufacturing servitization on environmental pollution:spatial econometric analysis of sulfur dioxide based on 284 prefecture-level cities

Using China’s regional input–output table,the paper constructs indicators of manufacturing servitization,matches manufacturing servitization at the regional level with city data,and uses spatial econometrics to empirically analyze the impact of manufacturing servitization on urban sulfur dioxide(SO_(2))emissions within the classical Environmental Kuznets Curve(EKC)framework.The results show that manufacturing servitization can reduce SO_(2) emissions.Producer servitization and consumptive services can both significantly reduce industrial SO_(2) emissions.Transportation and warehousing servitization,information servitization,leasing,and commercial servitization,technology research and development servitization significantly reduce SO_(2) emissions;technology research and development servitization,in particular,have the largest influence coefficient,while the reduction effect of servitization in the wholesale and retail and finance sectors is not significant.The study also found that servitization reduced the SO_(2) emissions through technological innovation and industrial structure upgrading.

Comprehensive understanding of the superior performance of Sm-modified Fe_(2)O_(3)catalysts with regard to NO conversion and H_(2)O/SO_(2)resistance in the NH_(3)-SCR reaction

Sm-doped Fe_(2)O_(3)catalysts,with a homogeneous distribution of Sm in Fe_(2)O_(3)nanoparticles,were synthesized using a citric acid-assisted sol-gel method.Kinetic studies show that the reaction rate for NO_(x)reduction using the optimal catalyst(0.06 mol%doping of Sm in Fe_(2)O_(3))was nearly 11 times higher than that for pure Fe_(2)O_(3),when calculated based on specific surface area.Furthermore,the Fe_(0.94)Sm_(0.06)O_(x)catalyst maintains>83%NO_(x)conversion for 168 h at a high space velocity in the presence of SO_(2)and H_(2)O at 250℃.A substantial amount of surface-adsorbed oxygen was generated on the surface of Fe_(0.94)Sm_(0.06)O_(x),which promoted NO oxidation and the subsequent fast reaction between NO_(x)and NH_(3).The adsorption and activation of NH_(3)was also enhanced by Sm doping.In addition,Sm doping facilitated the decomposition of NH_(4)HSO_(4)on the surface of Fe_(0.94)Sm_(0.06)O_(x),resulting in its high activity and stability in the presence of SO_(2)+H_(2)O.

Stress corrosion cracking behavior of high-strength mooring-chain steel in the SO_(2)-polluted coastal atmosphere

21Cr2NiMo steel is widely used to stabilize offshore oil platforms;however,it suffers from stress-corrosion cracking(SCC).Herein,we studied the SCC behavior of 21Cr2NiMo steel in SO_(2)-polluted coastal atmospheres.Electrochemical tests revealed that the addition of SO_(2) increased the corrosion current.Rust characterization showed that SO_(2) addition densified the corrosion products and promoted pitting.Furthermore,slow strain rate tests demonstrated a high susceptibility to SCC in high SO_(2) contents.Fracture morphologies revealed that the stress-corrosion cracks initiated at corrosion pits and the crack propagation showed transgranular and intergranular cracking modes.In conclusion,SCC is mix-controlled by anodic dissolution and hydrogen embrittlement mechanisms.

Insight into SO_(2) poisoning and regeneration of one-pot synthesized Cu-SSZ-13 catalyst for selective reduction of NO_(x) by NH_(3)

The effects of SO_(2) on an one-pot synthesized Cu-SSZ-13 catalyst for selective reduction of NO_(x) by NH_(3) were examined.The addition of SO_(2) inhibited NO_(x) conversion significantly below 300℃,while no effect on NO_(x) conversion was observed above 300℃.TGA,TPD,and XPS results showed that the deactivation was caused by the formation of(NH4)2SO_(4),SO_(2) chemisorption on the isolated Cu^(2+)ion sites,as well as the formation of CuSO_(4)-like species.Among them,the site-blocking effect of(NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4) on Cu^(2+)was the primary reason for deactivation.Fortunately,89%of deNO_(x) activity of the poisoned catalyst was recovered after thermal treatment at 500℃ in air,where(NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4) was completely decomposed.The activity was further recovered with regeneration temperature increasing to 600℃,removing the adsorbed SO_(2) on the Cu^(2+)sites.The regeneration at 600℃ could not recover the activity completely,because of the high stability of CuSO_(4)-like species.

Sealing Effect of KAl(SO_(4))_(2)Solution on the Corrosion Resistance of Anodized Aluminum Alloy

The 2024 anodized aluminum alloy film was sealed by KAl(SO_(4))_(2)solution and the effect of sealing on corrosion resistance was investigated by means of potentiodynamic polarization curves,electrochemical impedance spectroscopy,and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.The experimental results show that the optimal parameters for KAl(SO_(4))_(2)sealing are 35℃,with the pH value of 8,the concentration of 8 g/L,and the sealing time of 3 min.The corrosion resistance of the KAl(SO_(4))_(2)sealed sample can be significantly improved than that of unsealed one,and is obviously superior to that of the conventional hydrothermal sealed sample.Furthermore,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy demonstrates that more Al(OH)_(3)will be formed in the process of KAl(SO_(4))_(2)sealing,which will shrink the diameter of the microporous and therefore results in the excellent corrosion resistance.

Initial corrosion behaviors of AZ91 magnesium alloy in the presence of SO_2

The effects of SO_2 on the initial atmospheric corrosion of AZ91D magnesiumalloy were investigated in laboratory. Met-allographic observation, SEM (Scanning ElectronMicroscopy), XRD (X-ray Diffraction) and XPS (X-ray Proton Spectrograph) were used to analyze anddiscuss the initial surface morphology of corrosion layers and corrosion products. The corrosionrate of the alloy increases with increasing the content of SO_2. The initial attack has thecharacteristics of localized corrosion and preferentially concentrates on a phase. MgO and Mg(OH)_2form at first, which provide a protective layer, then the existence of SO_2 decreases the pH of thethin solution on the alloy, accelerates dissolution process, and promotes the formation of MgSO_3centre dot 6H_2O and MgSO_4 centre dot 6H_2O, meanwhile cracks were found on the corrosion productswith corrosion continuation. These soluble corrosion products and the cracks provide the paths forfiltering oxygen and corrosion pollutants into the matrix, which results in severe localizedcorrosion and the loss of protective function of film.

Mechanism of Insertion Reactions between Silylenoid H_2SiLiF and GeH_3R(R=F,OH,NH_2):a Theoretical Study

Theoretical investigations on the insertion reaction mechanisms of three- membered-ring silylenoid H2 Si Li F with GeH 3R（R = F, OH, NH2） have been systematically carried out by combined density functional theory（DFT） and ab initio quantum chemical calculations. The geometries of all stationary points for these reactions were optimized using the B3 LYP method and then the QCISD method was used to calculate the single-point energies. The calculated results indicate that, there are one precursor complex（Q）, one transition state（TS）, and one intermediate（IM） which connect the reactants and the products along the potential energy surface. The insertion reactions of three-membered-ring silylenoid with Ge H3 R proceed in a concerted manner, forming H2RSi-Ge H3 and Li F. The calculated potential energy barriers of the three reactions are 29.17, 30.90, and 54.07 k J/mol, and the reaction energies for the three reactions are –127.05, –116.91, and –103.31 k J/mol, respectively. The insertion reactions in solvents are similar to those in vacuum. Under the same situation, the insertion reactions should occur easily in the following order： GeH 3-F GeH 3-OH GeH 3-NH2. The elucidations of the mechanism of these insertion reactions provided a new mode of silicon-germanium bond formation.

Effect of airborne SO_2 on performance of the turnip moth,Agrotis segetum Schiff

Effect of SO_2-enriched air on the turnip moth, Agrotis segetum Schiff.was investigated by rearing the larvae on rape leaves that had been exposed to 40 or 80 ppb of the air pollutant in field fumigation chambers. An examination on the 11th day showed that the larvae in both treatments survived more, developed markedly faster, their fresh v/eig'ht and mean relative growth rate were significantly greater than those of control insect. Improvement of their growth and development resulted in decrease of total larval duration by 0.5 - 1.0 day. Pupal and adult performances were little affected by SO2 level to which larval food plant was exposed. Possible reason responsible for enhanced growth and development of the insect species was discussed.
