The physicochemical properties of the catalysts were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, N2 adsorption‐desorption measurements, X‐ray diffraction, 27 Al magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance, diffuse reflectance ultraviolet‐visible spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma‐atomic emission spectroscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, temperature‐programmed reduction measurements, and electron paramagnetic resonance analysis. The formation of micro‐mesopores in the Cu‐SAPO‐34 catalysts decreases diffusion resistance and greatly improves the accessibility of reactants to catalytic active sites. The main active sites for NH3‐SCR reaction are the isolated Cu^2＋ species displaced into the ellipsoidal cavity of the Cu‐SAPO‐34 catalysts.展开更多

The reactor was fed with municipal wastewater with a flow rate of 336 L/d. The concept of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification （SND） rate （rSND） was put forward to quantify SND. The results indicate that： （1） high nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiencies were achieved during the stable SND phase, total nitrogen （TN） and total phosphate （TP） removal rates were 80% and 85%, respectively; （2） when the system was aerated excessively, the stability of SND was damaged, and rSND dropped from 80% to 20% or less; （3） the natural logarithm of the ratio of NOx to NH4^＋ in the effluent had a linear correlation to oxidation-reduction potential （ORP）; （4） when NO3^- was less than 6 mg/L, high phosphorus removal efficiency could be achieved; （5） denitrifying phosphorus removal （DNPR） could take place in the anaerobic-anoxic OD system. The major innovation was that the SND rate was devised and quantified.展开更多

In the one case, DBD was created directly in the exhaust gas （direct application）, and in the an other case, ozone produced by DBD was injected into the exhaust gas （indirect application）. A comparative study between such direct and indirect applications of DBD plasma was made in terms of the NOx removal efficiency and the energy consumption. The NO2 content in the exhaust gas was changed by the voltage applied to the DBD device （for direct application） or by the amount of ozone added to the exhaust gas （for indirect application）. In both cases, NO was easily oxidized to NO2, and the change in NO2 content largely affected the NOx removal performance of the catalytic reactor placed downstream, where both NO and NO2 were reduced to N2 in the presence of ammonia as the reducing agent. The experiments were primarily concerned with the effect of reaction temperature on the catalytic NOx reduction at various NO2 contents. The direct and indirect applications of DBD were found to remarkably improve the catalytic NOx reduction, especially at low temperatures.展开更多

The packing material was scoria being made of variousmetal oxides including Al_2O_3, MgO, TiO_2, etc. Scoria was able to act not only as dielectricpellets but also as a catalyst in the presence of reducing agent such as ethylene and ammonia.Without plasma discharge, scoria did not work well as a catalyst in the temperature range of 100 ℃to 200 ℃, showing less than 10% of NOx removal efficiency. When plasma is produced inside thereactor, the NOx removal efficiency could be increased to 60% in this temperature range.展开更多

The major findings include： urban O3 mixing ratios are low and NOx mixing ratios are always high near the road in November. Vertical variations of the gases are significantly different in and above the planetary boundary layer. The mixing ratio of O3 is negatively correlated with that of NOx and they are positively correlated with air temperature, which is the main factor directly causing vertical variation of O3 and NOx mixing ratios at 600-2100 m altitude. The NOx mixing ratios elevated during the heating period, while the O3 mixing ratios decreased： these phenomena are more significant at high altitudes compared to lower altitudes. During November, air masses in the urban areas of Beijing are brought by northwesterly winds, which transport O3 and NOx at low mixing ratios. Due to Beijing＇s natural geographical location, northwest air currents arc beneficial to the dilution and dispersion of pollutants, which can result in lower O3 and NOx background values in the Beijing urban area.展开更多

Annually observations for nitrogen oxides (nitrogen dioxide;NO2, nitric oxide;NO) (1990-2007) were obtained from data base of Kagawa prefecture, Japan. Changes in NO2 and NO in Takamatsu and Utazu area were evaluated and compared. In 2007, NO2, NO and NO2 + NO (ppm) in Takamatsu area were higher than those in Utazu area. However, NO2 /NO + NO2 in Takamatsu area was lower than that in Utazu area. From 1990 to 2007, mean of NO2 in a day over the level of 0.06 ppm was 30 days in Takamatsu area and only one day in Utazu area. Mean of NO2, NO and NO2 + NO was significantly higher and NO2/NO + NO2 was lower in Takamatsu area than that in Utazu area. In addition, NO2, NO and NO2 + NO were negatively correlated and NO2/NO + NO2 was positively correlated with years (1990-2007) in Takamatsu area. The level of nitrogen oxides pollution in Utazu area was lower than Takamatsu area. Further observation is required for preventing nitrogen oxides pollution in Kagawa prefecture, Japan.展开更多

The results indicate that： （1） high nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiencies were achieved during the stable SND phase, total nitrogen （TN） and total phosphate （TP） removal rates were 80% and 85%, respectively; （2） when the system was aerated excessively, the stability of SND was damaged, and rSND dropped from 80% to 20% or less; （3） the natural logarithm of the ratio of NOx to NH4^＋ in the effluent had a linear correlation to oxidation-reduction potential （ORP）; （4） when NO3^- was less than 6 mg/L, high phosphorus removal efficiency could be achieved; （5） denitrifying phosphorus removal （DNPR） could take place in the anaerobic-anoxic OD system. The major innovation was that the SND rate was devised and quantified.
文摘Dielectric barrier discharge （DBD） plasma was utilized to oxidize NO contained in the exhaust gas to NO2, ultimately improve the selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides （NOx）. In the one case, DBD was created directly in the exhaust gas （direct application）, and in the an other case, ozone produced by DBD was injected into the exhaust gas （indirect application）. A comparative study between such direct and indirect applications of DBD plasma was made in terms of the NOx removal efficiency and the energy consumption. The NO2 content in the exhaust gas was changed by the voltage applied to the DBD device （for direct application） or by the amount of ozone added to the exhaust gas （for indirect application）. In both cases, NO was easily oxidized to NO2, and the change in NO2 content largely affected the NOx removal performance of the catalytic reactor placed downstream, where both NO and NO2 were reduced to N2 in the presence of ammonia as the reducing agent. The experiments were primarily concerned with the effect of reaction temperature on the catalytic NOx reduction at various NO2 contents. The direct and indirect applications of DBD were found to remarkably improve the catalytic NOx reduction, especially at low temperatures.

文摘A single-stage plasma-catalytic reactor in which catalytic materials werepacked was used to remove nitrogen oxides. The packing material was scoria being made of variousmetal oxides including Al_2O_3, MgO, TiO_2, etc. Scoria was able to act not only as dielectricpellets but also as a catalyst in the presence of reducing agent such as ethylene and ammonia.Without plasma discharge, scoria did not work well as a catalyst in the temperature range of 100 ℃to 200 ℃, showing less than 10% of NOx removal efficiency. When plasma is produced inside thereactor, the NOx removal efficiency could be increased to 60% in this temperature range.

文摘The potential of using denitrifying and nitrifying concurrent biofilters for the removal of nitrogen oxides from synthetic gas streams was studied under the condition of high oxygen concentration. It was found that more than 85% of nitric oxide was removed from synthetic combustion gas-streams which contained 20% oxygen and 350 μL/L NO, with a residence time of 60 seconds. In the process, it was found that the existing of oxygen showed no evident negative effect on the efficiency of nitrogen removal.
文摘This paper reports the studies conducted on removal of oxides ofnitrogen (NOx) from diesel engine exhaust using electrical dischargeplasma combined with adsorbing materials such as molecular sieves.This study is being reported for the first time. The exhaust is takenfrom a diesel engine of 6 kW under no load conditions. Thecharacteristic behavior of a pulse energized dielectric barrierdischarge reactor in the diesel exhaust treatment is reported. TheNOx removal was not significant (36/100) when the reactor without anypacking was used.
文摘As the emission control regulations get stricter,the NO;reduction in the sintering process becomes an important environmental concern owing to its role in the formation of photochemical smog and acid rain.The NOxemissions from the sintering machine account for 48% of total amount from the iron and steel industry.Thus,it is essential to reduce NO;emissions from the sintering machine,for the achievement of clean production of sinter.Ca-Fe oxides,serving as the main binding phase in the sinter,are therefore used as additives into the sintering mixture to reduce NOxemissions.The results show that the NO;reduction ratio achieves 27.76% with 8% Ca-Fe oxides additives since the Ca-Fe oxides can advance the ignition and inhibit the nitrogen oxidation compared with the conventional condition.Meanwhile,the existence of Ca-Fe oxides was beneficial to the sinter quality since they were typical low melting point compounds.The optimal mass fraction of Ca-Fe oxides additives should be less than 8%since the permeability of sintering bed was significantly decreased with a further increase of the Ca-Fe oxides fines,inhibiting the mineralization reaction of sintering mixture.Additionally,the appropriate particle size can be obtained when mixing an equal amount of Ca-Fe oxides additives of-0.5 mm and 0.5-3.0 mm in size.

文摘Nitrogen oxides（NOx：NO,NO2）are a concern due to their adverse health effects.Diesel engine transport sector is the major emitter of NOx.The regulations have been strengthened and to comply with them,one of the two methods commonly used is the selective catalytic reduction of NOxby NH3（NH3-SCR）,NH3being supplied by the in-situ hydrolysis of urea.Efficiency and durability of the catalyst for this process are highly required.Durability is evaluated by hydrothermal treatment of the catalysts at temperature above 800℃.In this study,very active catalysts for the NH3-SCR of NOxwere prepared by using a silicoaluminophosphate commercial zeolite as copper host structure.Characterizations by X-ray diffraction（XRD）,scanning electron microscopy（SEM）and temperature programmed desorption of ammonia（NH3-TPD）showed that this commercial zeolite was hydrothermally stable up to 850℃ and,was able to retain some structural properties up to950℃.After hydrothermal treatment at 850℃,the NOxreduction efficiency into NH3-SCR depends on the copper content.The catalyst with a copper content of 1.25 wt.%was the most active.The difference in activity was much more important when using NO than the fast NO/NO2reaction mixture.

文摘Based on observational data of ozone （O3） and nitrogen oxide （NOx） mixing ratios on the ground and at high altitude in urban areas of Beijing during a period of six days in November 2011, the temporal and spatial characteristics of mixing ratios were analyzed. The major findings include： urban O3 mixing ratios are low and NOx mixing ratios are always high near the road in November. Vertical variations of the gases are significantly different in and above the planetary boundary layer. The mixing ratio of O3 is negatively correlated with that of NOx and they are positively correlated with air temperature, which is the main factor directly causing vertical variation of O3 and NOx mixing ratios at 600-2100 m altitude. The NOx mixing ratios elevated during the heating period, while the O3 mixing ratios decreased： these phenomena are more significant at high altitudes compared to lower altitudes. During November, air masses in the urban areas of Beijing are brought by northwesterly winds, which transport O3 and NOx at low mixing ratios. Due to Beijing＇s natural geographical location, northwest air currents arc beneficial to the dilution and dispersion of pollutants, which can result in lower O3 and NOx background values in the Beijing urban area.

文摘The electrocatalytic nitrogen oxidation reaction(NOR)is a sustainable approach for converting N_(2)to NO_(3)^(-)under mild conditions.However,it still faces challenges including inefficient N_(2)absorption/activation and oxygen evolution competition,sluggish kinetics,low Faradaic efficiency,and limited nitrate yields.In this work,a novel two-dimensional(2D)layered MOF Mn-BCPPy(H_(2)BCPPy=3,5-di(4'-carboxyphenyl)pyridine)has been successfully synthesized.The framework is composed of a rod-manganese motifs and possesses abundant active sites including open metal sites(OMSs)and Lewis base sites(LBSs).The Mn-BCPPy is the first MOF catalyst applied in electrocatalytic NOR which NO_(3)^(-)exhibited relatively high activity with a yield of 99.75μg/(h·mg)and a Faraday efficiency(FE)of 32.09%.Furthermore,it can be used as fluorescent sensor for selectively and sensitively detect nitrofuran antibiotics(NFs).Therefore,this work explores the application of MOF materials in the field of electrocatalytic NOR,which reveals that manganese-based MOFs have great potential prospects.

文摘We evaluate nitrogen oxides pollution in Takamatsu and Utazu area in Kagawa prefecture, Japan. Annually observations for nitrogen oxides (nitrogen dioxide;NO2, nitric oxide;NO) (1990-2007) were obtained from data base of Kagawa prefecture, Japan. Changes in NO2 and NO in Takamatsu and Utazu area were evaluated and compared. In 2007, NO2, NO and NO2 + NO (ppm) in Takamatsu area were higher than those in Utazu area. However, NO2 /NO + NO2 in Takamatsu area was lower than that in Utazu area. From 1990 to 2007, mean of NO2 in a day over the level of 0.06 ppm was 30 days in Takamatsu area and only one day in Utazu area. Mean of NO2, NO and NO2 + NO was significantly higher and NO2/NO + NO2 was lower in Takamatsu area than that in Utazu area. In addition, NO2, NO and NO2 + NO were negatively correlated and NO2/NO + NO2 was positively correlated with years (1990-2007) in Takamatsu area. The level of nitrogen oxides pollution in Utazu area was lower than Takamatsu area. Further observation is required for preventing nitrogen oxides pollution in Kagawa prefecture, Japan.

文摘The objectives of this study which included two experiments were to investigate the effects of dietary inclusion of sorghum grain rich in condensed tannins(CT)(18.9 g kg^(–1)dry matter(DM))on nitrogen(N)metabolism and urine nitrous oxide(N_(2)O)emissions of beef steers.In experiment 1,six Limousin×Luxi crossbreed steers with an initial liveweight of(245.0±18.7)kg were used as experimental animals.Three levels of sorghum grain,i.e.,0,167 and 338 g kg^(–1)DM were included in diets as experimental treatments.The animals and the treatments were randomly assigned to a replicated 3×3 Latin square design.In experiment 2,static incubation technique was used to determine the N_(2)O emissions of the urine samples collected in experiment 1.The results of experiment 1 showed that dietary inclusion of sorghum grain linearly increased the faecal N excretion(P=0.001),the total N excretion(P=0.010)and the faecal N to N intake ratio(P=0.021),but it did not affect the N retention and the N utilization efficiency(P>0.10).The plasma metabolomic data showed that dietary inclusion of sorghum grain increased the relative concentrations of phenolic acid(N1,N5,N10-tris-trans-p-coumaroylspermine and prenyl cis-caffeate)and carnitine(3-hydroxyisovalerylcarnitine and linoelaidyl carnitine).The results also showed that dietary inclusion of sorghum grain linearly increased the urinary urea excretion(P=0.010)and decreased the urinary excretion of purine derivatives(P=0.041)as well as the estimated rumen microbial N supply(P=0.012)based on urinary purine derivatives.The results of experiment 2 showed that including sorghum grain in the diet linearly increased the average concentrations of NH_(4)^(+)-N(P=0.012),NO_(2)^(–)-N(P=0.009),NO_(3)^(-)-N(P=0.001)and the total inorganic N(P<0.001)in the soil enriched with urine samples.The urine sample N_(2)O-N flux(P=0.001),the estimated steer urine N_(2)O-N flux(P=0.021)and the N_(2)O-N to urinary N ratio(P=0.038)linearly increased with increasing inclusion of sorghum grain in the diet.In conclusion,dietary inclusion of sorghum grain containing high CT at 167 and 338 g kg^(–1)DM did not affect the N utilization efficiency of steers but increased the urine N_(2)O-N emissions by 5.7 and 31.4%,respectively.For reducing the N_(2)O emissions to the environment,high levels of sorghum grain should not be included in the diet of steers.

文摘Catalytic oxidation of NO at room temperature was carried out over nitrogen(N)-doped sludge char(SC)prepared from pyrolysis ofmunicipal sewage sludge,and urea was adopted as nitrogen source.The effects of different N-doping methods(one-step and two-step method),dried sludge(DS)/urea mass ratios(5:1,4:1,3:1,2:1,and 1:1),SC preparation procedures(pyrolysis only,pyrolysis with acid washing,and pyrolysis with KOH activation and acid washing),and different pyrolysis temperatures(500,600,700,and 800°C)on the catalytic oxidation of NO were compared to optimize the procedure for SC preparation.The results indicated that N-doping could obviously promote the catalytic performance of SC.The one-step method with simultaneous sludge pyrolysis(at 700°C),KOH activation,and N-doping(DS/urea of 3:1)was the optimal procedure for preparing the N-doped SC with the NO conversion rate of 54.7%,whereas the optimal NO conversion rate of SC without N-doping was only 47.3%.Urea worked both as carbon and nitrogen source,which could increase about 2.9%-16.5%of carbon and 24.8%-42.7%of nitrogen content in SC pyrolyzed at 700°C.N-doping significantly promoted microporosity of SC.The optimal N-doped SC showed specific surface areas of 571.38 m^(2)/g,much higher than 374.34 m^(2)/g of the optimal SC without N-doping.In addition,N-doping also increased amorphousness and surface basicity of SC through the formation of N-containing groups.Finally,three reaction paths,i.e.microporous reactor,active sites,and basic site control path,were proposed to explain the mechanism of N-doping on promoting the catalytic performance of NO.

文摘The role of brassinosteroids(BRs)in enabling plants to respond effectively to adverse conditions is well known,though the precise mechanism of action that helps plants cope with arsenic(As)toxicity is still difficult to interpret.Therefore we tested the effect of brassinolide(BL)spray(0,0.5,and 1 mg·L^(-1))on As(0,and 10 mg·L^(-1))stressed tomato defense responses As stress led to the induction of oxidative stress,impaired chlorophyll and nitrogen metabolism,and Fe uptake,in conjunction with a reduction in plant growth and biomass.BL spray,on the contrary,protected the photo synthetic system and helped plants grow better under As stress.This was achieved by controlling the metabolism of chlorophyll and proline and lowering the amounts of methylglyoxal and H_(2)O_(2) through glyoxalaseⅠandⅡand antioxidant enzyme s.BL decreased arsenic accumulation by directing As sequestration towards vacuoles and increased Fe amount in the leaves and roots by regulating the expression of As(Lsil and Lsi2)and Fe(IRT1,IRT2,NRAMP1,and NRAMP3)transporters in As-stressed tomatoes.Furthermore,BL boosted adaptability against As phytotoxicity,while reducing the damaging impacts on photosynthesis,nitrogen metabolism,sulfur asimilation,and Fe absorption.These results offer a solid framework for the development of exogenous BRs-based breeding strategies for safer agricultural development.

文摘High-entropy carbide ceramics(HECCs)exhibit superior properties compared to their constituent bi-nary compounds.However,high synthesis and sintering temperature are main obstacles that limit their widespread applications.To address this issue,compositional and particle size controllable high-entropy(Ti_(0.2)Zr_(0.2)Hf_(0.2)Nb02Ta_(0.2))C_(x) powders were successfully prepared by a sugar hydrogel combined with the carbothermal reduction method.Owing to the introduction of carbon vacancy,the temperature for the formation of single-phase solid solution of the high-entropy(Ti_(0.2)Zr_(0.2)Hf_(0.2)Nb_(0.2)Ta_(0.2))C_(x) powders was decreased,and the addition of nitrogen decreased the densification temperature of the high-entropy(Ti_(0.2)Zr_(0.2)Hf_(0.2)Nb_(0.2)Ta_(0.2))C_(0.95) ceramic by 200℃.In addition,the flexural strength and fracture toughness of the high-entropy(Ti_(0.2)Zr_(0.2)Hf_(0.2)Nb_(0.2)Ta_(0.2))C_(0.95) ceramic were improved by 29%and 30%,respectively,compared with those without nitrogen doping.Atomic-resolution high angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy(HAADF-STEM)and energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS)mapping re-veal that the segregation of N and small cation Ti as well as large lattice strains are responsible for the enhanced mechanical properties.Furthermore,with the introduction of nitrogen,the onset oxidation tem-perature(OOT)was increased,while the parabolic oxidation rate constant was decreased,revealing the beneficial effect of nitrogen doping on oxidation resistance.These results demonstrate that nitrogen dop-ing can not only improve the mechanical properties of HECCs but also enhance the oxidation resistance,which paves the way for the wide application of HECCs.
