Air sampling of volatile sex pheromone components in a closed jar

A cotton wool plug, used as the source for pheromone release, was placed in closed 1-quart Mason jars, either at the mouth or at the rear of the jar. Air sampling of the two components of the sex pheromone (total 2.2 mg at the source) of the almond moth (Ephestia cautella) female showed that the saturation period near the source in still air was 20–22 hr and that far from the source was 40–50 hr, reaching a level of less than 1 ng/ml air. The ratio between the components (Z,E)-9,12-tetradecadienyl acetate, designated D, and (Z)-9-tetradecenyl acetate designated M, in the air was close to the original ratio for both sampling sites, albeit somewhat richer in the more volatile (Z)-9-tetradecenyl acetate (source 77.023.0 DM, air 73.0– 74.327.0–25.7; source 80.119.9, air 77.622.4; source 25.174.9, air 23.976. 1 DM). The total amount of pheromone per milliliter of air was two to three times larger near the source than far from it at the early stages of the evaporation and saturation process. When the amount of pheromone applied to the source was tripled (7 mg), the amount far from the source was almost tripled, or the saturation time was cut by factor of two to three.     

Release rates of tetradecen-1-ol acetates from polymeric formulations in relation to temperature and air velocity

An apparatus was developed for investigating the release rates of pheromone formulations at temperatures and air velocities that correspond with those in the field. Polyurethane foam proved an excellent adsorbent for the recovery of tetradecen-1-ol acetates, allowing high air flows at low differential pressure and without breakthrough of these compounds. The experimental setup and procedures are described. The release rates of all formulations investigated were almost proportional to the square root of air velocity, and their logarithms were proportional to the reciprocal of temperature (K). When temperature is increased from 15°C to 25°C, the release rates increase by about 2-2.5 ×. Both relationships were combined into one equation that allows a reliable estimate to be made of the actual release rates of a formulation, under varying conditions, on the basis of its specific parameters and the relevant meteorological data.     

Power Evaluation of the Los Angeles Oxygen–Fed Ozone System

The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) operates a 600 mgd (2,270 ML/day) direct filtration water treatment plant which includes a 7,900 lb/day (149 kg/hr) ozonation system. Ozone is applied as a preoxidant for the purposes of disinfection and microflocculation. The ozonation system is unique in that high purity oxygen is generated on–site and is used as the feed–gas in a once–through system. The process was selected through competitive bids and evaluated for total present worth from 20–year life cycle costs which included capital plus energy expenses. Power consumption (and penalty) was valued at $6,500/kW. System power demand was measured at nine ozone production rates. A minimum specific energy of 6.5 kWh/lb (14.3 kWh/kg) of ozone was observed when generating ozone at a concentration between 5 and 6 % (wt) [65 and 80 g/m³; where the standard temperature and pressure are 70F (21.11 C) and 1 atm, respectively]. The test methodology and data assessment considerations were developed jointly by the owner and manufacturer, and produced results with practical significance beyond the performance testing objective.

大气尘检测空气过滤器效率不确定因素的分析

目前国家标准一般通风用空气过滤器的效率测试方法采用大气尘粒径计数法。从大气尘的浓度和粒径分布变化两个方面对空气过滤器测试效率的影响进行试验研究。得出大气尘粒径分布的变化会引起空气过滤器测试效率的变化。但在大气尘粒径分布基本一致的情况下,当大气尘浓度不超过计数器浓度上限时,大气尘浓度变化对过滤器效率检测的影响可以忽略。此研究结果为确定新版国家标准GB/T14295《空气过滤器》中效率测定的技术路线提供试验支持。
