Use of Raman microspectroscopy to characterize wallpaintings in Cerro de las Cabezas and the Roman villa of Priego de Cordoba (Spain)

The analysis by Raman microscopy of several wallpainting fragments found at an archaeological site in Fuente Tojar and in the Roman villa of Priego de Cordoba, both in southern Spain, revealed that the most abundant colours in them were obtained from the usual pigments of the time. Thus, red corresponded to red ochre, which consisted of hematite mainly. Also, yellow came from yellow ochre (goethite), blue from Egyptian blue, and grey hues were obtained from mixtures of coal and calcite occasionally also containing gypsum. The components of some pigments were confirmed by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy. The two spectroscopic techniques were additionally used to examine the mortars and the preparatory layer present in the fragments.     

Investigation of physicochemical properties of biooils produced from yellow poplar wood (Liriodendron tulipifera) at various temperatures and residence times

Fast pyrolysis of yellow poplar wood (Liriodendron tulipifera) was performed under different temperature ranges and residence times in a fluidized bed reactor to maximize the yield of biooil. In this study, the pyrolysis temperature ranged from 400 °C to 550 °C, and the residence time of pyrolysis products was controlled between 1.2 and 7.7 s by inert nitrogen gas flow. The results revealed that the distribution of thermal degradation products (biooil, biochar, and gas) from the woody biomass was heavily influenced by pyrolysis temperature, as well as residence time. The highest yield of biooil was approximately 68.5 wt% (wet basis), with pyrolysis conditions of 500 °C and 1.9 s of residence time. Water content of the biooils produced at different temperatures was 25-30 wt%, and their higher heating values were estimated to be between 15 MJ/kg and 17 MJ/kg. Using GC/MS analysis, 30 chemical components were identified from the biooil, which were classified into 5 main groups: organic acids, aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, and phenols. In addition, biochar was produced as a co-product of fast pyrolysis of woody biomass, approximately 10 wt%, at temperatures between 450 °C and 550 °C. The physicochemical features of the biochar, including elemental analysis, higher heating values, and morphological properties by SEM, were also determined.

测定黄磷中砷方法的样品前处理的改进

标准方法(GB 7816-1998)测定黄磷中砷时,采用敞开式消解法预处理样品。实践表明该方法耗时,易引入污染,造成测定误差,而且稍有不慎易使黄磷自燃。作为改进,提出了回流冷凝消解法,即2~3 g试样于硝酸(3+2)溶液60 mL中,在160℃电热板上加热回流消解。消解完成后的试液按Ag-DDTC方法进行砷的测定。结果表明:回流冷凝消解法不仅避免了试样的自燃,而且大大缩短了试样消解时间,所测得砷结果的准确度达到原标准方法的水平。     

HR-ICP-MS研究丰水期黄河甘宁蒙段表层沉积物中重金属的形态分析与污染评价

为连续、系统地研究不同年份丰水期黄河甘宁蒙段表层沉积物中重金属的含量、污染状况和潜在生态风险,在前期工作的基础上,采用三级四步提取法(BCR)和高分辨电感耦合等离子体质谱(HR-ICP-MS)对2012年丰水期黄河甘宁蒙段包头浮桥(S2)、石嘴山陶乐镇(S6)和乌金峡(S9)等10个采样点水体表层沉积物中Cd,Pb,Cr,Ni,Cu,V,Co,Zn和Mn九种重金属元素进行含量测定和形态分析,并对重金属元素的污染作出评价。结果表明：各重金属元素在每个采样点分布趋势相同,平均含量顺序依次为：Mn＞V＞Zn＞Cr＞Cu＞Ni＞Pb＞Co＞Cd;表层沉积物中重金属主要以残渣态形式存在,表明重金属的生物有效性低,对环境影响较小;地积累指数法 (I_geo) 的评价结果显示Cd元素的I_geo值最高,对环境污染程度较高,其余元素对环境影响较小,其中Mn元素影响最小;富集因子法(EF)评价结果表明,Cd和Cu元素在某些采样点表现为显著富集,尤其是Cd在S5点处EF值高达4.69,表明该点处Cd受人类活动影响较为明显,其余元素均为非富集元素,这与I_geo评价结果吻合;潜在生态风险指数法(RI)表明,黄河甘宁蒙段S1,S2和S5点的RI值在150~300之间,为中等危害范畴,其余各采样点RI值均小于150,为轻微危害。研究结果为相关部门提供可信的实验数据和理论依据,也为建立该河段泥沙-污染物输移数学模型和系统研究持久性有毒污染物迁移转化规律及环境评价提供技术支撑。     

Processing and structure of gallium nitride—gallium oxide platelet nanostructures

Gallium nitride-gallium oxide structures were formed by heat-treating gallium nitride (GaN) powders in several gas environments at temperatures from 400°C to 900°C. The platelet nanostructured particles were examined at several stages of oxidation by microscopic, structural, chemical and optical spectroscopic techniques. Particle morphology, nanophase characterization and photoluminescence data showed that the oxide layers passivate the GaN platelets surfaces and significantly reduce the yellow emission while enhancing near band-edge emission.     

Enhanced thermal- and photo-stability of acid yellow 17 by incorporation into layered double hydroxides

2,5-dichloro-4-(5-hydroxy-3-methyl-4-(sulphophenylazo) pyrazol-1-yl) benzenesulphonate (DHSB) anions, namely acid yellow 17 anions, have been successfully intercalated into Zn-Al layered double hydroxides (LDH) to produce a novel organic-inorganic pigment by a simple method involving separate nucleation and aging steps (SNAS), and the dye-intercalated LDH was analyzed by various techniques, e.g., XRD, SEM, FT-IR, TG-DTA and ICP. The d-spacing of the prepared LDH is 2.09 nm. Furthermore, the incorporation of the DHSB aims to enhance the thermal- and photo-stability of the guest dye molecule, for example, the less color change after accelerated thermal- and photo-aging test.     

南黄海表层沉积物稀土元素分布与物源关系

对南黄海295个表层沉积物样品稀土元素的电感耦合等离子体质谱法分析,结果表明,南黄海表层沉积物稀土元素平均含量为188.39μg.g-1,稀土富集与重矿物有密切关系;稀土元素的球粒陨石配分模式均呈现Eu负异常,模式具负斜率,表明表层沉积物物质主要来源于大陆地壳。从稀土元素地球化学特征的区域变化来看,南黄海东部沉积物来源于朝鲜半岛,西部沉积物来源于黄河和长江物质输入,中部细粒沉积物主要与黄河及长江物质东南、东北扩散有关,东南部为朝鲜半岛及黄河、长江物质共同作用的结果。     

黄河流域土地利用方式对土壤重金属污染的影响

黄河三角洲作为世界造陆速度最快的河口三角洲之一,但是近年来年来黄河流域草地、林地面积减少,而耕地、建设用地面积增加,所以研究黄河三角洲新生陆地的环境状况对于新生陆地的利用具有重要指导意义。文章利用ICP-MS分析了黄河三角洲新形成陆地土壤中重金属含量,主要是想揭示以下两个问题：(1)黄河三角洲新形成陆地是否可用于耕地或者人类居住需要注意哪些问题; (2)由于土地月度利用方式的变化和生态环境的恶化,黄河流域污染会对黄河三角洲有多大影响。结果显示：随着黄河流域土地利用的加快发展,黄河流沙中重金属污染状况逐渐恶化,特别是：Mn,Cu,Zn,Cr和Cd的污染与10年前比达到显著水平,而As, Pb和Hg含量也明显提高。
