文摘The accumulation of refractory organics in Bayer liquor(pH 14.4)critically compromises aluminum production efficiency and product quality,necessitating sustainable remediation strategies.Herein,we develop an ultrasonic-driven catalytic ozonation system with dynamically reconstructed CuO/Cu2O heterointerfaces,achieving unprecedented efficiency in extreme alkaline wastewater treatment.Atomic-scale interface engineering endows the catalyst with hydrophilicity(contact angle:6.1°)and 3.8–4.3 times higher oxygen vacancy density compared to single-phase catalysts.These properties facilitate efficient interfacial interactions with Bayer liquor and enable superior ozone activation through synergistic Cu(I)/Cu(II)redox cycling across the heterointerface.This interfacial synergy reduces ozone adsorption energy from 5.46 eV(Cu_(2)O)to 1.48 eV,driving the generation of reactive oxygen species(ROS)via low-energy pathways.Under optimized conditions,the system achieves 57.82%TOC removal within 1.5 h with 2.3-fold faster kinetics than ozone–alone processes,while improving energy efficiency by 1.82–3.22 times per kWh over conventional thermal oxidation.Remarkable stability is demonstrated through 80.21%activity retention after 6 cycles,attributed to surface energy minimization(0.61 J m^(−2)),alongside 67.91%hydroxyl radical(•OH)-mediated degradation confirmed by quenching tests.In XPS,EEMs analysis,and ECOSAR modeling further elucidate the surface reconstruction mechanism and intermediate toxicity reduction.This work establishes an atomic interface design paradigm that bridges catalytic innovation with green metallurgy applications,offering a sustainable solution for industrial wastewater remediation aligned with circular economy principles.

文摘Tropospheric ozone(O_(3))is a harmful air pollutant negatively impacting forest health,causing O_(3)-specific visible foliar injury(O_(3)VFI).Ozone monitoring in forests has usually implemented by passive samplers,although they cannot detect the diurnal peak when a significant part of stomatal O_(3)uptake occurs.This results into uncertainties for the calculation of stomatal O_(3)uptake.This study compares the stomatal-flux-based POD1(phytotoxic ozone dose above a threshold of 1 nmol m^(-2)s^(-1))for forest trees/shrubs estimated from data collected by either passive samplers or active O_(3)monitors to evaluate O_(3)damage to plants in terms of O_(3)VFI in the Southern Alps.The study was conducted over two years(2018-2019)in a mountainous Alpine area(Valle Stura,Italy).An integrative monitoring station for active O_(3)monitoring,as well as passive O_(3)monitors,were installed in an open field area(OFD).The O_(3)VFI was investigated in woody species in the light exposed sampling Site(LESS—Betula pendula,Fagus sylvatica,Larix decidua,Populus tremula,Salix caprea,Rubus sp.and Vaccinium myrtillus)in late summer according to the international co-operative programme on assessment and monitoring of air pollution effects on forests(ICP Forests)manual.The results confirmed that Fagus sylvatica and Rubus sp.are O_(3)-sensitive species showing relatively high POD1(>20 mmol m-2),while Larix decidua is O_(3)-tolerant.We derived flux-based critical levels(CL)corresponding to the presence of O_(3)VFI(5,25,and 50%of symptomatic plants along the LESS)from flux-effect relationships for forest protection against O_(3)VFI.The results support the hypothesis that passive samplers cannot detect episodic high stomatal O₃fluxes(>1 nmol m^(-2)s^(-1)).According to the active monitoring,the CL for O_(3)VFI occurrence was estimated to be 17.1 mmol m-2 POD1 for 25%presence and 34.3 mmol m-2 POD1 for 50%presence of symptomatic plants,while passive samplers underestimated POD1 values for CL calculations by 17%on average,with underestimation increasing at higher CL thresholds.The findings demonstrate that active monitoring refines CLs towards a proper quantitative assessment of O_(3)impact,particularly in capturing peak flux events that are crucial for evaluating plant damage and emphasizes the importance of active O₃monitoring for reliable forest health assessments.

文摘Severe ground-level ozone(O_(3))pollution over major Chinese cities has become one of the most challenging problems,which have deleterious effects on human health and the sustainability of society.This study explored the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of ground-level O_(3) and its precursors based on conventional pollutant and meteorological monitoring data in Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2021.Then,a high-performance convolutional neural network(CNN)model was established by expanding the moment and the concentration variations to general factors.Finally,the response mechanism of O_(3) to the variation with crucial influencing factors is explored by controlling variables and interpolating target variables.The results indicated that the annual average MDA8-90th concentrations in Zhejiang Province are higher in the northern and lower in the southern.When the wind direction(WD)ranges from east to southwest and the wind speed(WS)ranges between 2 and 3 m/sec,higher O_(3) concentration prone to occur.At different temperatures(T),the O_(3) concentration showed a trend of first increasing and subsequently decreasing with increasing NO_(2) concentration,peaks at the NO_(2) concentration around 0.02mg/m^(3).The sensitivity of NO_(2) to O_(3) formation is not easily affected by temperature,barometric pressure and dew point temperature.Additionally,there is a minimum IRNO_(2) at each temperature when the NO_(2) concentration is 0.03 mg/m^(3),and this minimum IRNO_(2) decreases with increasing temperature.The study explores the response mechanism of O_(3) with the change of driving variables,which can provide a scientific foundation and methodological support for the targeted management of O_(3) pollution.

文摘Objective weather classification methods have been extensively applied to identify dominant ozone-favorable synoptic weather patterns(SWPs),however,the consistency of different classification methods is rarely examined.In this study,we apply two widely-used objective methods,the self-organizing map(SOM)and K-means clustering analysis,to derive ozone-favorable SWPs at four Chinese megacities in 2015-2022.We find that the two algorithms are largely consistent in recognizing dominant ozone-favorable SWPs for four Chinese megacities.In the case of classifying six SWPs,the derived circulation fields are highly similar with a spatial correlation of 0.99 between the two methods,and the difference in themean frequency of each SWP is less than 7%.The six dominant ozone-favorable SWPs in Guangzhou are all characterized by anomaly higher radiation and temperature,lower cloud cover,relative humidity,and wind speed,and stronger subsidence compared to climatology mean.We find that during 2015-2022,the occurrence of ozone-favorable SWPs days increases significantly at a rate of 3.2 days/year,faster than the increases in the ozone exceedance days(3.0 days/year).The interannual variability between the occurrence of ozone-favorable SWPs and ozone exceedance days are generally consistent with a temporal correlation coefficient of 0.6.In particular,the significant increase in ozone-favorable SWPs in 2022,especially the Subtropical High type which typically occurs in September,is consistent with a long-lasting ozone pollution episode in Guangzhou during September 2022.Our results thus reveal that enhanced frequency of ozone-favorable SWPs plays an important role in the observed 2015-2022 ozone increase in Guangzhou.

文摘Extreme ozone pollution events(EOPEs)are associated with synoptic weather patterns(SWPs)and pose severe health and ecological risks.However,a systematic investigation of themeteorological causes,transport pathways,and source contributions to historical EOPEs is still lacking.In this paper,the K-means clustering method is applied to identify six dominant SWPs during the warm season in the Yangtze River Delta(YRD)region from 2016 to 2022.It provides an integrated analysis of the meteorological factors affecting ozone pollution in Hefei under different SWPs.Using the WRF-FLEXPART model,the transport pathways(TPPs)and geographical sources of the near-surface air masses in Hefei during EOPEs are investigated.The results reveal that Hefei experienced the highest ozone concentration(134.77±42.82μg/m^(3)),exceedance frequency(46 days(23.23%)),and proportion of EOPEs(21 instances,47.7%)under the control of peripheral subsidence of typhoon(Type 5).Regional southeast winds correlated with the ozone pollution in Hefei.During EOPEs,a high boundary layer height,solar radiation,and temperature;lowhumidity and cloud cover;and pronounced subsidence airflow occurred over Hefei and the broader YRD region.The East-South(E_S)patterns exhibited the highest frequency(28 instances,65.11%).Regarding the TPPs and geographical sources of the near-surface air masses during historical EOPEs.The YRD was the main source for land-originating air masses under E_S patterns(50.28%),with Hefei,southern Anhui,southern Jiangsu,and northern Zhejiang being key contributors.These findings can help improve ozone pollution early warning and control mechanisms at urban and regional scales.

文摘This study describes the use of the weighted multiplicative algebraic reconstruction technique(WMART)to obtain vertical ozone profiles from limb observations performed by the scanning imaging absorption spectrometer for atmospheric chartography(SCIAMACHY).This technique is based on SaskMART(the combination of the multiplicative algebraic reconstruction technique and SaskTRAN radiative transfer model),which was originally developed for optical spectrometer and infrared imaging system(OSIRIS)data.One of the objectives of this study was to obtain consistent ozone profiles from the two satellites.In this study,the WMART algorithm is combined with a radiative transfer model(SCIATRAN),as well as a set of measurement vectors comprising five Hartley pairing vectors(HPVs)and one Chappuis triplet vector(CTV),to retrieve ozone profiles in the altitude range of 10–69 km.Considering that the weighting factors in WMART have a significant effect on the retrievals,we propose a novel approach to calculate the pair/triplet weighting factors using wavelength weighting functions.The results of the application of the proposed ozone retrieval scheme are compared with the SCIAMACHY v3.5 ozone product by University of Bremen and validated against profiles derived from other passive satellite observations or measured by ozonesondes.Between 18 and 55 km,the retrieved ozone profiles typically agree with data from the SCIAMACHY ozone product within 5%for tropics and middle latitudes,whereas a negative deviation exists between 35 and 50 km for northern high latitudes,with a deviation of less than 10%above 50 km.Comparison of the retrieved profiles with microwave limb sounder(MLS)v5.0 indicates that the difference is within±5%between 18 and 55 km,and an agreement within 10%is achieved in other altitudes for tropics and middle latitudes.Comparison of the retrieved profiles with OSIRIS v7.1 indicates that the average deviation is within±5%between 20 and 59 km,and difference of approximately 10%is achieved below 20 km.Compared with ozonesondes data,a general validity of the retrievals is no more than 5%between 15 and 30 km.

文摘The cardiopulmonary health of children may be affected by acute ozone(O3)exposure during physical activity[1];however,its effects in high-altitude regions such as the Xizang Plateau remain uncertain.In high-altitude areas,lower oxygen levels may cause children to experience shortness of breath or require increased respiratory effort during vigorous activities such as running.This could lead to increased pollutant inhalation,potentially elevating the burden on the cardiovascular system and triggering adverse reactions such as increased heart rate and elevated blood pressure.Furthermore,differences in physiological adaptation between Han children who have migrated to Xizang and Tibetan children who are native to the region may contribute to different reactions to environmental exposure[2].

文摘To better understand the effects of ground-level ozone(O_(3))on nutrients and stoichiometry in different plant organs,urban tree species Celtis sinensis,Cyclocarya paliu-rus,Quercus acutissima,and Quercus nuttallii were sub-jected to a constant exposure to charcoal-filtered air(CF),nonfiltered air(NF),or NF+40,60,or 80 nmol O_(3)mol^(-1)(NF40,NF60,and NF80)starting early in the summer of the growing season.At the end of summer,net CO_(2)assimila-tion rate(A),stomatal conductance(gs),leaf mass per area(LMA),and/or leaf greenness(SPAD)either were not sig-nificantly affected by elevated O_(3)or were even higher in some cases during the summer compared with the CF or NF controls.LMA was significantly lower in autumn only after the highest O_(3)exposures.Compared to NF,NF40 caused a large increase in gs across species in late summer and more K and Mn in stems.At the end of the growing season,nutri-ent status and stoichiometric ratios in different organs were variously altered under O_(3)stress;many changes were large and often species-specific.Across O_(3)treatments,LMA was primarily associated with C and Mg levels in leaves and Ca levels in leaves and stems.NF40 enriched K,P,Fe,and Mn in stems,relative to NF,and NF60 enhanced Ca in leaves relative to CF and NF40.Moreover,NF resulted in a higher Ca/Mg ratio in leaves of Q.acutissima only,relative to the other O_(3)regimes.Interestingly,across species,O_(3)stress led to different nutrient modifications in different organs(stems+branches vs leaves).Thus,ambient and/or elevated O_(3)exposures can alter the dynamics and distribution of nutrients and disrupt stoichiometry in different organs in a species-specific manner.Changes in stoichiometry reflect an important defense mechanism in plants under O_(3),and O_(3)pollution adds more risk to ecological stoichiometries in urban areas.

文摘Ozone(O_(3))pollution has elevated in China,threatening plants and crop production.Ethylenediurea(EDU)is a chemical alleviating O_(3)-induced phytotoxicities.This study aimed at revealing fluctuating O_(3) exposures effects on Youxian No 3(Phaseolus vulgaris)and Sukui No 4(Vigna angularis),two widely grown Chinese bean cultivars,and EDU role in mediating these effects.Plants were periodically treated with EDU(400 mg/L)or water and subjected to charcoal-filtered air(CF)or non-filtered ambient air enriched with an additional targeted O_(3) concentration of 40 ppb(NF40).with subsequent ambient or NF40 exposures.A 10-day exposure to NF40 increased photosynthetic rate(A)while decreasing the leaf intercellular CO_(2) concentration(Ci),but this effect was absent after moving plants to ambient air for two weeks.Moving previously CF-exposed plants to ambient air for two weeks also increased A,which was not linked with Ci but more related to stomatal conductance(gs).Following two one-week and two-week sequential exposures of all plants to NF40,with an intermediate exposure to ambient air,elevated O_(3) reduced chlorophylls(SPAD),A,gs,Ci,and transpiration and decoupled A-gs response.More O_(3) effectswere observed in plants treatedwithNF40 during each O_(3)-treatment cycle,compared to those exposed to CF during the first cycle.The former plants exhibited significantly decreased biomass and water content of leaves and stems but increased flowers biomass and water content.Some of the effects were cultivardependent,with Youxian showing more apparent trade-offs between vegetative growth and reproduction.EDU alleviated various negative O_(3) effects.

文摘Cupressus sempervirens is a relevant species in the Mediterranean for its cultural,economic and landscape value.This species is threatened by Seiridium cardinale,the causal agent of the cypress canker disease(CCD).The effects of biotic stressors on O_(3)risk assessment are unknown and a comprehensive O_(3)risk assessment in C.sempervirens is missing.To fill these gaps,two clones of C.sempervirens,one resistant(Clone R)and one susceptible to CCD(Clone S),were subjected to three levels of O_(3)(Ambient Air-AA;1.5×AA;2.0×AA)for two consecutive years in an O_(3)-free-air controlled exposure facility and artificially inoculated with S.cardinale.Both the exposure-(AOT40)and flux-based(PODy)indices were tested.We found that PODy performed better than AOT40 to assess O_(3)effects on biomass and the critical level for a 4%biomass loss was 2.51 mmol/m^(2)POD2.However,significant O_(3)dose-response relationships were not found for the inoculated cypresses because the combination of middle level O_(3)(1.5×AA)and inoculation stimulated a biomass growth in Clone S as hormetic response.Moreover,we found a different inter-clonal response to both stressors with a statistically significant reduction of total and belowground biomass following O_(3),and lower root biomass in Clone S than in Clone R following pathogen infection.In summary,Clone R was more resistant to O_(3),and inoculation altered O_(3)risk via an hormetic effect on biomass.These results warrant further studies on how biotic stressors affect O_(3)responses and risk assessment.

文摘In recent years,ozone has become one of the key pollutants affecting the urban air qual-ity.Direct catalytic decomposition of ozone emerges as an effective method for ozone re-moval.Field experimentswere conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of exteriorwall coat-ings with ozone decomposition catalysts for ozone removal in practical applications.ANSYS 2020R1 software was first used for simulation and analysis of ozone concentration and flow fields to investigate the decomposition boundary of these wall coatings.The results show that the exterior wall coatings with manganese-based catalysts can effectively reduce the ozone concentration near the wall coating.The ozone decomposition efficiency is nega-tively correlated with the distance fromthe coating and the decomposition boundary range is around 18 m.The decomposition boundary will increase with the increase of tempera-ture,and decrease with the increase of the wind speed and the relative humidity.These results underscore the viability of using exterior wall coatings with catalysts for controlling ozone pollution in atmospheric environments.This approach presents a promising avenue for addressing ozone pollution through self-purifying materials on building external wall.

文摘The North China Plain(NCP)frequently experiences ozone pollution events,which are generally related to cross-border transport at multiple scales.However,current methods of calculating ozone transport are insufficient to account for ozone transport at different altitudes.To further understand the characteristics of ozone transport,we applied theWeather Research and Forecasting(WRF)model and the Comprehensive Air Quality Model with Extensions(CAMx)based on flux calculation method.The results showed that the simulated flux calculation method was suitable for revealing the evolutionary trend of ozone fluxes.Monthly inflows,outflows,and total net fluxes ranged from-32985.45 to 37361.46 t/d and indicated strong transport and significant spatial and temporal variations of ozone in the urban boundary segments.Vertical distribution analysis of the net ozone fluxes demonstrated that the net fluxes varied with the altitude,and the altitude at which the corresponding peaks were located had a strong correlation with the neighborhood and season.It was noteworthy that there were three main transport directions throughout the year,namely northwest-southeast(NW-SE),southeast-northwest(SE-NW),and southwestnortheast(SW-NE).Additionally,the ozone flux was mainly affected by temperature,wind speed,and ozone concentration,with the correlation coefficient varying by season and altitude,up to 0.78.Moreover,the correlation analysis of ozone flux and wind direction in each city further verified the accuracy of the transport direction.This paper can provide scientific and technological support for the study of ozone generation mechanisms and the solution of urban/interregional ozone pollution problems.

文摘The ozone over the Tibetan Plateau(TP)plays an important role in protecting the local ecology by absorbing ultraviolet solar rays.The El Nino-Southern Oscillation(ENSO),recognized as the strongest interannual climate phenomenon globally,can create ozone variations over the TP.Based on the historical experimental simulation results of two Community Earth System Models(i.e.CESM2-WACCM and CESM2-WACCM-FV2)that include the coupling process of stratospheric chemistry-radiation-dynamics,this study analyzes the impact of ENSO on the wintertime total ozone column(TCO)over the TP,as well as its physical processes,from 1979 to 2014.When compared to observations,the results show that the two models can basically simulate the spatial distribution of the climate state and standard deviation of the TP TCO.In the two models,CESM2-WACCM performs better.During the winter when the ENSO signal is strongest,its warm phase,El Nino,cools the tropospheric temperature over the TP by modifying the atmospheric circulation,which induces a decrease in the tropopause height.Such decreases in the tropopause height are responsible for the TP TCO increase.The cool phase La Nina is responsible for a TCO decrease over the TP,in a manner resembling the El Nino but with the opposite signal.Our results are consistent with previous observational analysis,and the relevant research provides valuable scientific insights for evaluating and improving the Earth System Model that incorporates the coupling process of stratospheric chemistry-radiation-dynamics.

文摘Acetaldehyde plays a significant role in atmospheric photochemical reactions and ozone formation.Previous studies have shown that acetaldehyde may rapidly be generated over short periods and impact ozone production,yet the underlyingmechanism remains unclear.To better elucidate thesemechanisms,a field campaign was conducted in Dongying,a typical petrochemical city in China.The observed acetaldehyde concentration averaged 3.0±1.6 ppbv,with a peak around 09:00 local time.The diurnal variations of acetaldehyde were categorized into two types,with Category 1 exhibiting relatively high values and increasing sharply in concentration between 07:00 and 09:00 a.m.(refer to morning peak episode,MPE),and the remaining classified as Category 2.Category 1 was similar to previous studies at heavily polluted sites but differed fromcleaner locations.Using an observation-based chemical box model,we found that acetaldehyde contributed an average of 10.2%to the net ozone production rate.Combined with a positive matrix factorizationmodel,we identified secondary formation as the dominant source of acetaldehyde(45.0%),and the daytime production rate of acetaldehyde in Category 1 was significantly higher than that in Category 2.Cis-2-butene and trans-2-butene were identified as key precursors for the rapid acetaldehyde formation during the MEP,with the petroleum industry being their primary source.Volatile organic compounds(VOCs)from petroleum industry contributed over 60%to acetaldehyde formation during the morning peak.Our findings underscore the urgent need for targeted VOCs management strategies in petroleum sector tomitigate both carbonyl and ozone formation.
