AgNO3-lnduced photocatalytic degradation of odorous methyl mercaptan in gaseous phase: mechanism of chemisorption and photocatalytic reaction

In this study, AgNO3 films prepared by a simple dip-coating method were used to remove gaseous methyl mercaptan (CH3SH) for odor control. The AgNO3 films were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry(SEM/EDX), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) before and after the reaction, and as- obtained products were identified by means of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and ion chromatography. The experiments demonstrated that the AgNO3 film can induce a quick chemisorption of gaseous CH3SH to form AgSCH3 and other intermediate products such as alpha-Ag2S, Ag4S2, and AgSH on its surface. Under UVA illumination, these sulfur products can be photocatalytically oxidized to AgSO3CH3 and Ag2SO4. Then AgSO3CH3 and Ag2SO4 will continue the chemisorption of gaseous CH3SH, similar to AgNO3, to form AgSCH3 again and release two final products, HSO3CH3 and H2SO4. Hence it is a AgNO3-induced photocatalytic reaction for odorous CH3SH degradation in gaseous phase. This fundamental research about the mechanism of chemisorption and photocatalytic reaction provides essential knowledge with potential to further develop a new process for gaseous CH3SH degradation in odor control.     

Some insights into the gas chromatographic determination of reduced sulfur compounds (RSCs) in air

The analytical properties of four reduced sulfur compounds (RSCs), including hydrogen sulfide (H2S), methyl mercaptan (CH3SH), dimethyl sulfide (DMS), and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), were investigated to improve the techniques for their measurements at sub-part-per-billion (sub-ppb) concentration levels. Forthis purpose, a gas chromatographic (GC) system with a pulsed-flame photometric detector (PFPD) was interfaced with a thermal desorption (TD) unit for the collection and analysis of RSCs in ambient air. The calibration results obtained by working standards of equimolar concentrations (prepared at five different concentrations of 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 ppb) were evaluated to properly describe the detection characteristics of the GC/ PFPD setting and of different RSCs. It was observed that the absolute magnitude of calibration slopes changed among different S compounds in a consistent manner (e.g., enhanced sensitivity toward the compound of heavy molecular weight and/or high sulfur contents), while their full scales of linearity range varied in an opposite pattern. The absolute magnitude of the H2S calibration slope values was remarkably sensitive to the initial standard concentrations, while such effects were not so evident from other RSCs. The overall results of this study suggest that the GC detection of H2S by means of the bag sampling technique can suffer from the strongest variability due to the dynamic change of its calibration in accord with its initial concentration.     

Photocatalytic oxidation of gaseous 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide over TiO2

Photocatalytic oxidation of gaseous 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (2-CEES, ClCH2CH2SCH2CH3) over TiO2 illuminated with UV light and maintained at 25 or 80 degrees C in air has been investigated. 2-CEES was found to suffer progressive oxidation to yield ethylene (CH2CH2), chloroethylene (ClCHCH2), ethanol (CH3CH2OH), acetaldehyde (CH3C(O)H), chloroacetaldehyde (ClCH2C(O)H), diethyl disulfide (CH3CH2S2CH2CH3), 2-chloroethyl ethyl disulfide (ClCH2CH2S2CH2CH3), and bis(2-chloroethyl) disulfide (ClCH2CH2S2CH2CH2Cl) as the main primary intermediates, and water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), surface sulfate ions (SO4(2-)), and hydrogen chloride (HCl) as the final products. Trace concentrations of gaseous 2-chloroethanol (ClCH2CH2OH), ethanesulfonyl chloride (CH3CH2SO2Cl), ethyl thioacetate (CH3CH2SC(O)CH3), and considerable amounts of acetic acid (CH3C(O)OH), crotonaldehyde (CH3CHCHC(O)H), methyl acetate (CH3C(O)OCH3), and methyl formate (CH3OC(O)H) were also detected in the gas phase during the photooxidation conducted at 80 degrees C. Increase in temperature from 25 to 80 degrees C accelerates formation of gaseous ethanol, acetaldehyde, chloroacetaldehyde, diethyl disulfide, 2-chloroethyl ethyl disulfide, and bis(2-chloroethyl) disulfide but suppresses ethylene and chloroethylene production at initial stages of the process. Some aspects of the possible reaction mechanism leading to this wide array of intermediates and final products are discussed.     

Low temperature catalytic oxidation of hydrogen sulfide and methanethiol using wood and coal fly ash

The feasibility of reusing waste material as an inexpensive catalyst to remove sulfur compounds from gaseous waste streams has been demonstrated. Wood and coal fly ash were demonstrated to catalytically oxidize H2S and methanethiol (CH3SH) at low temperatures (23-25 degrees C). Wood ash had a significantly higher surface area compared to coal ash (44.9 vs 7.7 m2/g), resulting in a higher initial H2S removal rate (0.16 vs 0.018 mg/g/min) under similar conditions. Elemental sulfur was determined to be the end product of H2S oxidation, since X-ray diffraction analysis indicated the presence of crystalline sulfur. Catalytic decay occurred apparently due to surface deposition of sulfur and a subsequent decline in surface area (44.9-1.4 m2/g) during the reaction of H2S with the ash. Methanethiol was stoichiometrically converted to dimethyl disulfide ((CH3)2S2) without significant catalytic decay. Catalytic decay was reduced and H2S conversion increased (10% at 1.8 days vs 94% at 4.2 days) when H2S loading was decreased to levels typical of many environmental applications (500 ppmv inlet and 1.43 mg/min vs 60 ppmv, 0.09 mg/ min). Catalyst regeneration using hot water (85 degrees C) washing was possible, but only increased fractional conversion from 0.2 to 0.6 and the initial reaction rate to 50% of the original H2S oxidation activity.

Atmospheric chemistry of perfluoroalkanesulfonamides: kinetic and product studies of the OH radical and Cl atom initiated oxidation of N-ethyl perfluorobutanesulfonamide

Perfluorooctanesulfonamides [C8F17SO2N(R1)(R2)] are present in the atmosphere and may, via atmospheric transport and oxidation, contribute to perfluorocarboxylates (PFCA) and perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) pollution in remote locations. Smog chamber experiments with the perfluorobutanesulfonyl analogue N-ethyl perfluorobutanesulfonamide [NEtFBSA; C4F9SO2N(H)CH2CH3] were performed to assess this possibility. By use of relative rate methods, rate constants for reactions of NEtFBSA with chlorine atoms (296 K) and OH radicals (301 K) were determined to be kCL) = (8.37 +/- 1.44) x 10(-12) and kOH = (3.74 +/- 0.77) x 10(-13) cm3 molecule(-1) s(-1), indicating OH reactions will be dominant in the troposphere. Simple modeling exercises suggestthat reaction with OH radicals will dominate removal of perfluoroalkanesulfonamides from the gas phase (wet and dry deposition will not be important) and that the atmospheric lifetime of NEtFBSA in the gas phase will be 20-50 days, thus allowing substantial long-range atmospheric transport. Liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) analysis showed that the primary products of chlorine atom initiated oxidation were the ketone C4F9SO2N(H)COCH3; aldehyde 1, C4F9SO2N(H)CH2CHO; and a product identified as C4F9SO2N(C2H5O)- by high-resolution MS but whose structure remains tentative. Another reaction product, aldehyde 2, C4F9SO2N(H)CHO, was also observed and was presumed to be a secondary oxidation product of aldehyde 1. Perfluorobutanesulfonate was not detected above the level of the blank in any sample; however, three perfluoroalkanecarboxylates (C3F7CO2-, C2F5CO2-, and CF3CO2-) were detected in all samples. Taken together, results suggest a plausible route by which perfluorooctanesulfonamides may serve as atmospheric sources of PFCAs, including perfluorooctanoic acid.     

Surprising formation of p-cymene in the oxidation of α-pinene in air by the atmospheric oxidants OH, O3, and NO3

Anthropogenic sources release into the troposphere a wide range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) including aromatic hydrocarbons, whose major sources are believed to be combustion and the evaporation of fossil fuels. An important question is whether there are other sources of aromatics in air. We report here the formation of p-cymene [1-methyl-4-(1-methylethyl) benzene, C6H4(CH3)(C3H7)] from the oxidation of α-pinene by OH, O3, and NO3 at 1 atm in air and 298 K at low (<5%) and high (70%) relative humidities (RH). Loss of α-pinene and the generation of p-cymene were measured using GC-MS. The fractional yields of p-cymene relative to the loss of α-pinene, Δ [p-cymeme]/Δ [α-pinene], were measured to range from (1.6±0.2)×10(-5) for the O3 reaction to (3.0±0.3)×10(-4) for the NO3 reaction in the absence of added water vapor. The yields for the OH and O3 reactions increased by a factor of 4-8 at 70% RH (uncertainties are ±2s). The highest yields at 70% RH for the OH and O3 reactions, ～15 times higher than for dry conditions, were observed if the walls of the Teflon reaction chamber had been previously exposed to H2SO4 formed from the OH oxidation of SO2. Possible mechanisms of the conversion of α-pinene to p-cymene and the potential importance in the atmosphere are discussed.

Atmospheric chemistry of N-methyl perfluorobutane sulfonamidoethanol, C4F9SO2N(CH3)CH2CH2OH: kinetics and mechanism of reaction with OH

Relative rate methods were used to measure the gas-phase reaction of N-methyl perfluorobutane sulfonamidoethanol (NMeFBSE) with OH radicals, giving k(OH + NMeFBSE) = (5.8 +/- 0.8) x 10(-12) cm3 molecule(-1) s(-1) in 750 Torr of air diluent at 296 K. The atmospheric lifetime of NMeFBSE is determined by reaction with OH radicals and is approximately 2 days. Degradation products were identified by in situ FTIR spectroscopy and offline GC-MS and LC-MS/MS analysis. The primary carbonyl product C4F9SO2N(CH3)CH2CHO, N-methyl perfluorobutane sulfonamide (C4F9SO2NH(CH3)), perfluorobutanoic acid (C3F7C(O)OH), perfluoropropanoic acid (C2F5C(O)OH), trifluoroacetic acid (CF3C(O)OH), carbonyl fluoride (COF2), and perfluorobutane sulfonic acid (C4F9SO3H) were identified as products. A mechanism involving the addition of OH to the sulfone double bond was proposed to explain the production of perfluorobutane sulfonic acid and perfluorinated carboxylic acids in yields of 1 and 10%, respectively. The gas-phase N-dealkylation product, N-methyl perfluorobutane sulfonamide (NMeFBSA), has an atmospheric lifetime (>20 days) which is much longer than that of the parent compound, NMeFBSE. Accordingly,the production of NMeFBSA exposes a mechanism by which NMeFBSE may contribute to the burden of perfluorinated contamination in remote locations despite its relatively short atmospheric lifetime. Using the atmospheric fate of NMeFBSE as a guide, it appears that anthropogenic production of N-methyl perfluorooctane sulfonamidoethanol (NMeFOSE) contributes to the ubiquity of perfluoroalkyl sulfonate and carboxylate compounds in the environment.

Real-time measurements of SO2, H2CO, and CH4 emissions from in-use curbside passenger buses in New York City using a chase vehicle

The Aerodyne Mobile Laboratory "chased" in-use curbside passenger buses operated by various operators in New York City. With the cooperation of New York State's Metropolitan Transit Authority, the relationships between the emissions of the several gas-phase species and particulate loadings were investigated across several bus technologies, bus types, and fuels (diesel, ultralow sulfur diesel, and compressed natural gas, CNG). The CNG buses followed did not employ an oxidation catalyst. The buses characterized were not prescreened in any fashion and were measured while deployed on their normal in-service routes. This paper focuses on the fuel-based mass emissions of SO2, H2CO, and CH4, measured using tunable infrared laser differential absorption spectroscopy. Sulfur dioxide emissions from buses known to be burning ultralow sulfur diesel (<30 ppm(m) S) were 16 times lower than those from buses burning normal commercial diesel fuel, nominally less than 300 ppm(m) sulfur. Emissions of formaldehyde and methane from in-use CNG buses were approximately 15 times greater than those from diesel powered buses.     

Catalyzed destructive adsorption of environmental toxins with nanocrystalline metal oxides. Fluoro-, chloro-, bromocarbons, sulfur, and organophosophorus compounds

In the temperature range of 300-500 degrees C, solid nanocrystalline oxides react nearly stoichiometrically with numerous halocarbons, sulfur, and organophosphorus compounds. In some cases, the reaction efficiencies can be improved by the presence of a small amount of transition-metal oxide as catalyst; for example, Fe2O3 on CaO and mobile intermediate species such as FeCl3 or Fe(SO3)x are important in the catalytic process. Herein, a series of environmentally problematic compounds are discussed, including CCl4, COS, CS2, C2Cl4, CHCl3, CH2Cl2, CH3Cl, and (CH3O)2P(O)CH3. Nanocrystals of CaO coated with a thin layer of Fe2O3 (or other transition metals) =[Fe2O3]CaO, or intimately mixed =Fe2O3/CaO were compared with pure CaO. It was found that (a) the presence of a small amount of surface [Fe2O3] or other transition-metal oxide can have a marked effect on the destructive adsorption activity, (b) for some reagents, such as CCl4, C2Cl4, SO2 and others, the nanocrystalline CaO can react in stoichiometric amounts, especially if a transition-metal oxide catalyst is present, (c) although the reaction with dimethylmethylphosphonate is surface-limited, the nanocrystalline calcium oxide performed well and in high capacity, (d) nanocrystalline calcium oxide exhibits near stoichiometric activitywith several interesting sulfur-containing compounds, such as COS and CS2, (e) unfortunately, most fluorocarbons were not destructively adsorbed at 500 degrees C under the conditions employed; however, some of these can be effectively mineralized over the calcium oxide at higher temperatures. These compounds include C2F6, C3F6, C2ClF3, and CHF3, and (f) upon reaction, surface areas decreased considerably, from about 100 to about 10 m2/g. The results of these experiments further demonstrate that, with the proper choice of catalytic material, some solid-gas reactions can be engineered to be rapid and essentially stoichiometric.     

Simultaneous removal of H2S and NH3 in biofilter inoculated with Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans TAS

H2S and NH3 gases are toxic, corrosive and malodorous air pollutants. Although there are numerous well-established physicochemical techniques presently available for the treatment of these gases, the growing demand for a more economical and improved process has prompted investigations into biological alternatives. In biological treatment methods, H2S is oxidized to SO4(2-) by sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, and then NH3 is removed by chemical neutralization with SO4(2-) to (NH4)2SO4. Since the accumulated (NH4)2SO4 can inhibit microbial activity, it is important to utilize an effective sulfur-oxidizing bacterium that has tolerance to high concentrations of (NH4)2SO4 for the simultaneous removal of H2S and NH3. In this study, a sulfur-oxidizing bacterium with tolerance to high concentrations of (NH4)2SO4 was isolated from activated sludge and identified as Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans TAS. A. thiooxidans TAS could display its sulfur-oxidizing activity in a medium supplemented with 60 g.l(-1) (NH4)2SO4, even though its growth and sulfur-oxidizing activity were completely inhibited in 80 g.l(-1) (NH4)2SO4. When H2S alone was supplied to a ceramic biofilter inoculated with A. thiooxidans TAS, an almost 100% H2S removal efficiency was maintained until the inlet H2S concentration was increased up to 900 microl.l(-1) and the space velocity up to 500 h(-1), at which the amount of H2S eliminated was 810 g-S.m(-3).h(-1). However, when NH3 (50-500 microl.l(-1)) was simultaneously supplied to the biofilter with H2S, the maximum amount of H2S eliminated decreased to 650 g-S.m(-3).h(-1). The inhibition of H2S removal by low NH3 concentrations (50-200 microl.l(-1)) was similar to that by high NH3 concentrations (300-500 microl.l(-1)). The critical inlet H2S load that resulted in over 99% removal was determined as 400 g-S.m(-3).h(-1) in the presence of NH3.     

Formation of methane sulfinic acid in the gas-phase OH-radical initiated oxidation of dimethyl sulfoxide

Dimethyl sulfoxide (CH3S(O)CH3: DMSO) is an important product of dimethyl sulfide (CH3SCH3: DMS) photooxidation. The mechanism of the OH-radical initiated oxidation of DMSO is still highly uncertain and a major aim of recent studies has been to establish if methane sulfinic acid (CH3S(O)OH: MSIA) is a major reaction product In the present work the products of the OH-radical gas-phase oxidation of dimethyl sulfoxide have been investigated in the absence and presence of NOx All experiments were performed in a 1,080 L reaction chamber in 1,000 mbar synthetic air at 284 +/- 2 K using long-path FT-IR spectroscopy and ion chromatography to monitor and quantify reactants and reaction products. Formation of methane sulfinic acid in high yield (80-99%) was observed in both in the absence and presence of NOx, and the results support that it is the major primary reaction product Other products observed included dimethyl sulfone (CH3S(O)2CH3: DMSO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), methane sulfonic acid (CH3S(O)2OH: MSA), and methane sulfonyl peroxynitrate (CH3S(O)2OONO2: MSPN). The formation behavior of these products is in line with their source being mainly secondary production via oxidation of a primary product, i.e. MSIA.     

Fragmentation analysis of water-soluble atmospheric organic matter using ultrahigh-resolution FT-ICR mass spectrometry

Isolated water-soluble atmospheric organic matter (AOM) analytes extracted from radiation fogwater samples were analyzed using collision induced dissociation with ultrahigh-resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS). Tandem mass analysis was performed on several mass ranges between 100 and 400 Da to characterize the functional groups of AOM species. Compounds containing nitrogen and/or sulfur were targeted because of the high number of oxygen atoms contained in their molecular formulas. Due to the large number of isobaric ions in the precursor isolation ranges, large numbers of product ions resulted from collision induced dissociation. Common neutral losses were assigned by matching the molecular formulas of the expected product ions with the detected product ions within the appropriate mass spectra. Since polar functional groups are expected to affect the hygroscopic properties of aerosols, the losses of H(2)O, CO(2), CH(3)OH, HNO(3), CH(3)NO(3), SO(3), SO(4) and combinations of these were specifically targeted. Among the 421 compounds studied, the most frequently observed neutral losses were CO(2) (54%), H(2)O (43%) and CH(3)OH (40%). HNO(3) losses were observed for 63% of the studied nitrogen containing compounds and 33% of the studied compounds containing both nitrogen and sulfur. SO(3) losses were observed for 85% of the studied sulfur containing compounds and 42% of studied compounds containing both nitrogen and sulfur. A number of molecular formulas matching those of monoterpene ozonolysis SOA were observed; they include organonitrates, organosulfates, and nitroxy-organosulfates. Overall, the results of fragmentation analysis of 400+ individual molecular precursors elucidate the complexity and multifunctional nature of the isolated water-soluble AOM.     

Particulate and trace gas emissions from open burning of wheat straw and corn stover in China

Field measurements were conducted to determine particulate emissions and trace gas emissions, including CO2, CO, CH4, NMHCs, NOx, NH3, N2O, and SO2, from open burning of wheat straw and maize stover, two major agricultural residues in China. The headfire ignition technique was adopted, and sampling was performed downwind from the agricultural fire. Particulate matter (PM) and gas emission factors were determined using the carbon mass-balance method. Particle mass size distributions show a prominent accumulation mode peak at 0.26-0.38 microm. Submicron particles dominate PM emissions. Most measured chemical species measured show a similar size distribution as PM. Chemical composition analysis indicates that PM2.5 is largely composed of carbon, K, and Cl. PM2.5 emission factors of wheat straw and maize stover are 7.6 +/- 4.1 g/kg and 11.7 +/- 1.0 g/kg, respectively, It also indicates that 12.1-24.2% of N in biomass is released as nitrogen-based trace gases and 11.0-24.9% of fuel S is emitted as SO2.     

Comparing effects of α‐ vs. β‐chitosan coating and emulsion coatings on egg quality during room temperature storage

Effects of α‐ and β‐chitosan (CH), soybean oil (SO) and their emulsions (CH:SO = 2:3) as coating materials on selected internal quality and sensory properties of eggs were evaluated during 5 weeks storage at 25 °C. After 3 weeks of storage, α‐ and β‐CH‐coated eggs changed to B grade, while SO‐ and emulsion‐coated eggs preserved grade A quality. Weight loss of eggs coated with SO and CH:SO emulsions was <2.0% vs. 5.3–5.8% for noncoated and CH‐coated eggs after 5 weeks of storage. β‐CH (0.9%) maintained lower weight loss of eggs than α‐CH (1.2%) only at 1‐week storage. Albumen pH of eggs coated with SO and CH:SO emulsions decreased progressively throughout storage. Eggs coated with β‐CH:SO emulsion and SO were significantly glossier than noncoated eggs. Consumers indicated positive purchase intent (69.17–76.67%) for all coated eggs. Overall, α‐CH:SO and β‐CH:SO emulsions extended egg shelf life by at least 3 weeks during room temperature storage.

Influence of agricultural biomass burning on aerosol size distribution and dry deposition in southeastern Brazil

The size distributed composition of ambient aerosols is used to explore seasonal differences in particle chemistry and to show that dry deposition fluxes of soluble species, including important plant nutrients, increase during periods of biomass (sugar cane trash) burning in S?o Paulo State, Brazil. Measurements were made at a single site centrally located in the State's sugar cane growing region but away from the immediate vicinity of burns, so that the airsampled was representative of the regional background. Calculation of ion equivalent balances showed that during burning periods smaller particles (Aitken and accumulation modes) were more acidic, containing higher concentrations of SO4(2-), oxalate, NO3-, HCOO-, CH3COO-, and CI-, but insufficient NH4+ and K+ to achieve neutrality. Larger particles showed an anion deficit due to the presence of unmeasured ions and comprised resuspended dusts modified by accumulation of nitrate, chloride, and organic anions. Increases of resuspended particles during the burning season were attributed to release of earlier deposits from the surfaces of burning vegetation as well as increased vehicle movement on unsurfaced roads. During winter months the relative contribution of combined emissions from road transport and industry diminished due to increased emissions from biomass combustion and other activities specifically associated with the harvest period. Positive increments in annual particulate dry deposition fluxes due to higher fluxes during the sugar cane harvest were 44.3% (NH4+), 42.1% (K+), 31.8% (Mg2+), 30.4% (HCOO-), 12.8% (CI-), 6.6% (CH3COO-), 5.2% (Ca2+), 3.8% (SO4(2-)), and 2.3% (NO3-). Na+ and oxalate fluxes were seasonally invariant. Annual aerosol dry deposition fluxes (kg ha(-1)) were 0.5 (Na+), 0.25 (NH4+), 0.39 (K+), 0.51 (Mg2+), 3.19 (Ca2+), 1.34 (Cl-), 4.47 (NO3-), 3.59 (SO4(2-)), 0.58 (oxalate), 0.71 (HCOO-), and 1.38 (CH3COO-). Contributions of this mechanism to combined aerosol dry deposition and precipitation scavenging (inorganic species, excluding gaseous dry deposition) were 31% (Na+), 8% (NH4+), 26% (K+), 63% (Mg2+), 66% (Ca2+), 32% (Cl-), 33% (NO3-), and 36% (SO4(2-)).
