Chemical characteristics of fine particles during spring dust storm dominant period in two Chinese cities, Baotou and Wuwei

Mineral dust, including dust storm, fugitive and floating dust are the most important components of ambient aerosol in northern China during spring. Meanwhile, it goes through heating period when fossil fuel combustion acts as a dominant source. In order to understand the chemical characteristics of fine particles in North China, two sampling sites was established in Baotou City in the west of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Wuwei City near the edge of Gobi to collect fine particles （PM 2.5） samples in the spring of 2004 and 2005, and analyze mass concentrations, ionic species and some element components of PM 2.5. The results indicated that dust events elevated the mass concentrations of particulate matter significantly, not only for coarse particles, but also for fine particles. Crustal components, organic matter and sulfates are three major compositions in fine particles, their mass concentrations and relative abundances are closely related with the frequency of dust events and coal combustion. The characteristics of fine particles are obviously diverse under different atmospheric conditions. （1） When the dust storms take place, the wind speeds are often higher than 10 m/s. A plenty of mineral aerosol is input from long distance, and also local soil dust is blown up to suspend in the air as particles. Therefore, the concentrations of PM 2.5 are enhanced dramatically. Mass concentrations and relative percentages of crustal components in PM 2.5 increased significantly during dust events. The mineral dust may help gas to particle conversation by heterogeneous reactions. Increases in mass concentrations of SO4^2-, NO3^- and NH4^＋ and organic matter in PM 2.5 were observed evidently. But their fractions in PM 2.5 do not increase simultaneously due to dilution of storing wind. （2） When wind velocity is lower （〈3 m/s）, air pollutants are accumulated, both mass concentrations of SO4^2-, NO3^- and NH4^＋ and organic matter, and their fractions in PM 2.5 increase, indicating severe anthropogenic pollution. The chemical characteristics of PM 2.5 in Baotou and Wuwei are also influenced by their industrial structure, topography and meteorological conditions.     

Votalization of selenium in selenium-rich black rock series in Yutangba

Votalization of selenium in selenium-rich black rock series in Yutangba is discussed at 400, 500, 600, 700, 800 and 900℃.Votalization of selenium tends to increase when the temperature is high. So environmental influence of selenium-rich black rock series combustion needs to be considered.     

Study on the distribution of PAHs in fly ash from coal and residual char combustion in a pressurized fluidized bed

Direct coal combustion not only has a low utilizing efficiency, but also produces a large amount of pollutants such as particulate, CO2, SO2, NOx, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons （PAHs）, PCDD/PCDFs, and so on. Coal gasification is a clean coal technology that presents good prospects for coal use, mainly for producing electricity with a high coal conversion efficiency and low environmental impact. However, there is a problem about the minimization of PAHs in coal gasification or direct coal combustion. PAHs are harmful to the environment and human health due to their high degree of mutagenicity and carcinogenicity when they enter human bodies through breathing, eating, and drinking. It is said that about 75%-90% cancers of human beings are mainly caused by PAHs. So the US EPA has prioritized 16 PAH compounds as hazardous air pollutants; these compounds are naphthalene （NAP）, acenaphthylene （AcPy）, acenaphthene （AcP）, fluorene （Flu）, phenanthrene （PhA）, anthracene （ANT）, fluoranthene （FluA）, pyrene （Pyr）, benzo （a） anthracene （BaA）, chrysene （Chr）, benzo （b） fluoranthene （BbF）, benzo （k） fluoranthene （BkF）, benzo （a） pyrene （BaP）, indeno（1,2,3,-cd） pyrene [In（1,2,3-cd） P], dibenzo （a,h） anthracene （DbA）, and benzo （ghi） perylene （BghiP）. The residual char is one of the main products during coal gasification, and then it is brought into the combustion chamber to combust. To investigate the distribution of PAHs in fly ash, the combustion of coal and residual char was tested in a pressurized spouted fluidized bed. After Soxhlet extraction and K-D concentration, the contents of 16 PAHs recommended by US EPA in coal, residual char, and fly ash, were analyzed by a HPLC coupled with fluorescence and diode-array detection.     

Open burning of wastes as the source of environmental contamination by POPs

In the paper the procedure for and results of a test study of a few persistent organic pollutants - polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon （PAH）, polychlorinated biphenyls （PCB） and hexachlorobenzene （HCB） emission from the open burning of different types of wastes （domestic wastes, agricultural debris, landscape cleating debris, etc.） are discussed. The open burning of agricultural debris and landscape-clearing debris is widely applied in rural areas and small towns and in allotment gardens for the recovery of that part of wastes that can not be utilized for compost preparation. This process is most typical during the autumn season and to a lesser degree during spring. Burning occurs usually in bon fires. Burning modes differ depending on the volume of material burnt, the waste moisture content, the weather conditions, etc. During this process part of domestic wastes （polluted wood, paper, chipboard, films, plastics, etc.） are burned also. Investigations included the collection and preparation of combustible material, the simulation of open burning processes, particulate and gas emission sampling, chemical analysis of sample and data processing. Sampling procedures and sample preparation were agreeable to the emission sampling standards. The aerosol and vapour phases of POPs were collected by ordinary sampling train with pumping of waste gases through filter and solid sorbent （polyurethane foam）. For the measurements of PAH in emission, gas chromatography and mass spectrometry were used which make it possible to identify and determine 16 PAH compounds in the samples; this method was used for HCB determination also. Gas chromatography with ECD detector was used for PCB measurement. It was detected that the levels of PAH emission from wastes uncontrolled burning of wastes vary greatly. Influencing factors are composition and properties of refuse, temperature and mode of burning, level air supply. Generally, the increase of content of wood leads to the increase of PAH in emission. PAH emission also increased with increasing temperature of burning. The highest PAH values are characteristic of emissions from domestic refuse burning. Practically, all naphthalene, acenaphthylene, acenaphthene （from 60% to 100% of their total mass） and fluorene （14%-99%） were emitted in gaseous form.     

煤燃烧过程中微量元素的迁移和富集

煤中微量元素在燃烧过程中产生迁移与富集。大部分元素在煤的燃烧产物中得以富集,一些挥发性强的元素将扩散到大气中。在飞灰中,大部分环境有害元素的富集程度与其粒度成反比,即在细粒飞灰中更加富集,由此对人体健康的潜在危害也更大。在我国,大型燃煤电厂的环境问题值得重视,同时大量的民用炉灶产生的环境污染更加严重,值得进一步研究与治理。     

Distribution of heavy metals in an incineration system of solid wastes in the Three-Gorges region of the Yangtze River

On the basis of investigations on the composition and contents of heavy metals in the domestic refuse in the Three-Gorges region of the Yangtze River, in combination with the experimental results, this paper deals with the distribution rule of heavy metals in the various compartments of an incineration system： leachate pool, fly ash and residue. It is concluded that in the leachate pool heavy metals should not be neglectable since about 30% of Pb and 10% of Cr are leached here; in the incineration system, above 74% of Cr, As and Pb exists in residue; above 96% of Hg exists in fly ash and the contents of Cd in fly ash are close to those of residue. It is also concluded that the physical conditions of incineration have a significant influence on the distribution of heavy metals in the incineration system.
