Pigment carbon black(色素炭黑)色素炭黑色素炭黑颜色黑色在油墨、油漆、涂料等制品中作着色颜料用的炭黑。
按着色强度(或黑度和粒子大小一般分为高色素炭黑、中色素炭黑、普通色素炭黑和低色素炭黑四种主要由接触法和油炉法生产)。
1)炭黑的几个典型参数黑度(反射率)--炭黑黑度通常以”反射率测定仪”测定的数据来表示,在大部分情况下也反映了该炭黑的原始粒径,是衡量该炭黑市场价格的重要参数之一。
反射率越低,炭黑黑度越高,粒径也越小。
反之亦然。
挥发份--炭黑表面携带含氧基团的数量,反映了炭黑的表面物理性能、电化学性能和应用性能,也是衡量该炭黑市场价格的重要参数之一。
结构--炭黑结构是炭黑微粒子聚集体形成的链枝程度的表征值,它表示了炭黑内部的空隙程度。
通常以吸油值(DBP吸收值)表示。
高、低结构炭黑与应用性能之间地关系示意图2)炭黑分散的重要的意义颜料在应用过程中都必须分散到符合光学性能的微粒子状态,炭黑是所有颜料中最难分散的一种颜料之一,因此炭黑分散的好坏会直接影响到炭黑的黑度、色相和遮盖能力,直接影响到用户最终的使用效果。
炭黑的分散过程主要受到三个因素的影响一)炭黑的本质特性:炭黑的原始粒径、结构和表面各种基团都会对分散产生很大的影响通常情况下炭黑的原始粒径小、结构低、挥发份低分散困难,反之则相对容易些。
b)使用者的配方:炭黑使用者的配方,基料、溶剂和树脂的性能都会非常显著地影响炭黑的最终分散情况,尤其是炭黑用树脂的选择。
C)分散设备:不同的分散设备在相同条件下的分散效果是完全不同的。
正确选用分散设备是使用者必须重视的。
3)选择炭黑的基本思路使用者在选择炭黑前首先要考虑的是:你想用炭黑来达到什么要求?着色、调色、抗紫外线还是起导电作用。
最重要的是一定要和炭黑的专业技术工程师进行沟通,共同对物料体系进行技术评价,选择比较合适的炭黑品种。
通常情况是:着色用--选择黑度高、粒径小的炭黑,但一定要保证炭黑经过合理的、完全的分散,否则反而会背道而驰,达不到原来要求。
Life Cycle Assessment of Biochar Systems:Estimating the Energetic, Economic,and Climate Change PotentialK E L L I G.R O B E R T S,*,†B R E N T A.G L O Y,‡S T E P H E N J O S E P H,§N O R M A N R.S C O T T,⊥A N D J O H A N N E S L E H M A N N†College of Agriculture and Life Sciences,Cornell University, Ithaca,New York14853,and School of Materials Science and Engineering,University of New South Wales,Sydney,NSW 2251,AustraliaReceived July27,2009.Revised manuscript received October30,2009.Accepted November17,2009.Biomass pyrolysis with biochar returned to soil is a possible strategy for climate change mitigation and reducing fossil fuel consumption.Pyrolysis with biochar applied to soils resultsin four coproducts:long-term carbon(C)sequestration from stable C in the biochar,renewable energy generation,biochar as a soil amendment,and biomass waste management.Life cycle assessment was used to estimate the energy and climate change impacts and the economics of biochar systems.The feedstocksanalyzedrepresentagriculturalresidues(cornstover), yard waste,and switchgrass energy crops.The net energyof the system is greatest with switchgrass(4899MJ t-1dry feedstock).The net greenhouse gas(GHG)emissions for both stover and yard waste are negative,at-864and-885kg CO2equivalent(CO2e)emissions reductions per tonne dry feedstock,respectively.Of these total reductions,62-66%are realized from C sequestration in the biochar.The switchgrass biochar-pyrolysis system can be a net GHG emitter(+36kg CO2e t-1dry feedstock),depending on the accounting method for indirect land-use change impacts.The economic viability of the pyrolysis-biochar system is largely dependent on the costsof feedstock production,pyrolysis,and the value of C offsets. Biomass sources that have a need for waste management such as yard waste have the highest potential for economicprofitability(+$69t-1dry feedstock when CO2e emission reductions are valued at$80t-1CO2e).The transportation distanceforfeedstockcreatesasignificanthurdletotheeconomic profitability of biochar-pyrolysis systems.Biochar may at present only deliver climate change mitigation benefits and be financially viable as a distributed system using waste biomass.IntroductionThere is an urgent need to develop strategies for mitigating global climate change.Promising approaches to reducing anthropogenic greenhouse gas(GHG)emissions often in-clude energy generation from climate neutral renewable resources.However,pyrolysis of biomass with biochar applied to soil offers a direct method for sequestering C and generating bioenergy(1-3).Biochar is the stable,carbon-rich charcoal that results from pyrolysis of biomass materials. Used as a soil amendment,biochar can improve soil health and fertility,soil structure,nutrient availability,and soil-water retention capacity(4-8),and is also a mechanism for long-term C storage in soils.Because carbonizing biomass stabilizes the C that has been taken up by plants,sustainably produced biochar applied to soils may proactively sequester C from the atmosphere,while also generating energy.Pyrolysis is the thermal decomposition of organic material in the absence of oxygen,and is also an initial stage in both combustion and gasification processes(9,10).Both slow and fast pyrolysis of biomass result in three coproducts:char, gas,and tarry oils,where the relative amounts and charac-teristics of each are controlled by the pyrolysis processing conditions such as temperature,residence time,pressure, and feedstock type.Slow pyrolysis is generally carried out at lower temperatures and longer residence times than fast pyrolysis,and the typical product yield is35%char,35%gas, and30%liquid(9).Pyrolysis with biochar applied to soil offers potential solutions to the current climate and energy concerns.However,to avoid unintended consequences of a new technology or mitigation strategy,it is necessary to conduct analyses of potential life-cycle impacts of biochar-pyrolysis systems,as it would be undesirable to have the system actually emit more GHG than sequestered or consume more energy than is generated.Because of its“cradle-to-grave”approach and transparent methodology,life cycle assessment(LCA)is an appropriate tool for estimating the energy and climate change impacts of pyrolysis-biochar systems.In this paper,we use LCA to estimate the full life-cycle energy,GHG emissions balance,and economic feasibility of biochar.The biomass feedstock sources compared are corn stover,yard waste,and a switchgrass energy crop.This range of feedstock provides insight into the use of biomass“waste”resources compared to bioenergy crops and the resulting energy and climate change impacts and economic costs of each scenario.MethodologyGoal and Scope.The cumulative energy,climate change impacts,and economics of biochar production from corn stover,yard waste,and switchgrass feedstocks at a slow-pyrolysis facility in the United States are estimated using process-based LCA in Microsoft Excel.The goal of the biochar energy,greenhouse gases,and economic(BEGGE)LCA is to quantify the energy,greenhouse gas,and economicflows associated with biochar production for a range of feedstocks. The biochar system for the LCA has four coproducts:biomass waste management,C sequestration,energy generation,and soil amendment.The functional unit of the biochar-pyrolysis system is the management of1tonne of dry biomass.The referenceflows for this system are the mass and C in the biomass feedstock and the energy associated with biochar production.System Boundaries.The industrial-scale biochar pro-duction system boundaries are illustrated in Figure1a.The method of biomass production and collection is dependent on the feedstock(with more details provided in the individual process descriptions and in the online Supporting Informa-tion(SI)).Once the biomass is collected,it is transported to the pyrolysis facility where it is reduced in size and dried.*Corresponding author

Web12/23/2009The biomass undergoes slow pyrolysis,which produces biochar,syngas,and tarry oils.The syngas and oils are combusted on-site for heat applications.The biochar is transported to a farm and applied to annual crop fields.The production of equipment specific to pyrolysis and feedstock processing (the pyrolysis facility,feedstock pretreatment equipment,farming equipment)is included,but the pro-duction of transportation vehicles is not included.The greenhouse gases,regulated emissions,and energy use in transportation (GREET)1.8b (11)model for transportation fuel-cycles was used for compiling the upstream energy and air emissions for electricity generation,fossil fuel production and combustion,transportation,and agricultural inputs.The avoided processes incorporated into the analysis via system expansion are natural gas production and combustion,composting,and fertilizer production.Water consumption is not included in the LCA.The processes within the LCA are described in detail in the following section and the SI.Crop Residues.Multiple studies have analyzed the energy and emissions related to ethanol production from corn stover (12-15).For this assessment,the energy and greenhouse gas emissions are from the LCA of corn stover collection conducted by Kim,Dale,and Jenkins (15)in Fulton County,IL (see the SI).Weather and field conditions can influence corn stover harvest times (16,17),thus both late and early stover harvests are considered,with moisture contents (wet basis)of 15%and 30%mcwb,respectively (18).Bioenergy Crops.Switchgrass as a pyrolysis feedstock is modeled in two ways (scenarios A and B)to compare the effects of land-use change on climate change impacts.While both switchgrass A and B use the energy and agricultural inputs associated with switchgrass establishment and col-lection from the lifecycle emissions model (LEM)(19)(Table S1of the SI),the GHG emissions data are from two different models.The switchgrass A scenario uses LEM (19)for theland-use,fertilizer,and cultivation-related emissions of switchgrass production,with a net GHG of +406.8kg CO 2e t -1dry switchgrass (see SI).The switchgrass B scenario uses the results from a comprehensive worldwide agricultural model for land-use change from Searchinger et al.(20).Both the LEM and Searchinger et al.models account for the effects of cropland diversion from annual crops to perennial grass energy crops (direct land-use change)and land conversion to cropland to replace the crops lost to bioenergy crops (indirect land-use change).However,differences between the models arise in the indirect land-use change accounting methods.The net GHG emissions of scenario B are +886.0kg CO 2e t -1dry switchgrass (compared to +406.8kg CO 2e t -1for switchgrass A).There is an obvious difference between these two approaches to modeling land-use change emis-sions,and we have used both as a means of capturing the range of outcomes.Yard Waste Collection.The yard waste is assumed to be diverted from an industrial-scale composting facility,and no environmental burdens are assigned to the production of yard waste.The avoided compost process is included via the system expansion approach and is described in the SI.Slow Pyrolysis:Biochar and Syngas Production.A very limited number of LCA studies have been conducted on pyrolysis facilities.Examples include a hazardous waste management plant in The Netherlands (21),fast pyrolysis for biofuel production (22),and a micropyrolysis-gas turbine system (23).However,detailed analyses of the energy and emissions associated with biochar production from slow pyrolysis have been performed where both biochar produc-tion from bioenergy crops and from crop residues result in net energy production and avoided GHG emissions (3,24).The pyrolysis facility for this LCA is assumed to operate in a manner similar to industry prototypes under slow pyrolysis conditions as a continuous process with a biomass through-FIGURE 1.(a)System boundaries for the LCA of a biochar system with bioenergy production are denoted by the dashed box.Dashed arrows with (-)indicate avoided processes.The “T”represents transportation.The avoided compost process applies to the yard waste scenario only.(b)Energy flows (MJ t -1dry feedstock)of a pyrolysis system for biochar with bioenergy production using the late stover functional unit.8289ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE &TECHNOLOGY /VOL.44,NO.2,2010put of10dry t hr-1.A Sankey diagram of the energyflows of the biomass pyrolysis process is shown in Figure1b. Pyrolysis is an exothermic process,and only a small amount of natural gas is used for the initial start-up of the pyrolysis kiln burner which is estimated at58MJ t-1feedstock(21). The feedstock is pyrolyzed at450°C,and the pyrolysis gases flow into a thermal oxidizer which combusts the gases and oils at high temperature achieving clean combustion.A heat exchanger and air ducting system transfer the heat from the combustion gases to heating applications on-site.Exhaust heat from the facility is used for drying the incoming biomass. As a significant portion of the feedstock energy is in the biochar(∼50%assuming a lower heating value of30MJ kg-1 for charcoal(25)),the overall efficiency from feedstock to available heat is37%.More information on the pyrolysis process can be found in the SI.As reported in ref25,the yields of biochar from slow pyrolysis at0.1MPa(atmospheric pressure)have been found to range from28.8(birch wood)to33.0wt.%(spruce wood). The biochar yields,ash content of the biochar,and syngas energy yields are listed in Table S2.All of the ash(mineral elements except N and S)in the feedstock is assumed to remain in the biochar,and the mass of the biochar product includes the mass of the stable carbon,ash,and volatile matter.Stable Carbon in Biochar.Of the C in the biochar,the majority is in a highly stable state and has a mean residence time of1000years or longer at10°C mean annual temperature (1,26-31).However,the stability of the biochar does vary with feedstock,processing,and environmental conditions. For this assessment we assume that the slow-pyrolysis process has been optimized for high yields of stable C.With this in mind,we use a conservative estimate of80%of the C in the biochar as stable(28,32).The remaining20%of the C is labile and released into the atmosphere as biogenic CO2 within thefirst few years of applying it to the soil.Improved Fertilizer Use Efficiency.As part of the application to the soil,the biochar not only sequesters C,but also improves crop performance.Although increased crop yields with biochar additions are reported in many cases, the greatest and most consistent yields are found on highly degraded soils(4-7).In the present analysis,the biochar is applied to comparatively productive soils in the U.S.Corn Belt,and therefore we do not consider crop yield increases with biochar.However,we do include improved fertilizer use efficiency(33)which enhances crop performance and thus reduces the amount of commercial chemical fertilizers applied.The difference of7.2%between total N recovery in soils fertilized with biochar and the control(33)is used as the baseline scenario for improved N,P,and K fertilizer use efficiency.Soil N2O Emissions.In addition to the reduced need for chemical fertilizers,biochar reportedly reduces N2O soil emissions that result from N fertilizer application(34-37). For this analysis,the baseline scenario assumes that the biochar processing is done under conditions such that soil N2O emissions from N fertilizer applications are reduced by 50%.Impact Assessment.The net energy of the functional unit incorporates all energy inputs to the system and energy produced by the system.Energy produced by the system includes syngas energy and energy from avoided processes such as fossil fuel production,fertilizer production,and composting.The100year global warming potential of CO2, CH4,and N2O(1,25,and298CO2e,respectively)from the IPCC for2007(38)were used to calculate the climate change impacts of each process.The net climate change impact is the sum of the“net GHG reductions”and the net GHG emissions.To be consistent with terminology,the“net GHG reductions”are the sum of the“CO2e sequestered”and the “avoided CO2e emissions”.The C sequestration is a direct result of the stable C in the biochar,while the avoided emissions are from the avoided processes such as fossil fuel production and combustion,soil N2O emissions,fertilizer production,and composting.The biogenic CO2emissions are accounted for in the C balance of each biomass-to-biochar system(illustrated in Figure S1for late stover).It is important to also note that improvements to the soil structure and fertility upon biochar application are not included in this analysis.These soil improvements could further reduce GHG emissions and energy consumption,while potentially adding value to the biochar product because of enhanced crop productivity.Economic Assessment.The primary costs of biochar production are the feedstock collection and pyrolysis,while the feedstock transport,biochar transport,and biochar application have small contributions to the total(see Table S5for a summary of the costs and revenues for each feedstock).The revenues come from the biochar value,the energy produced,and the tipping fee(in the case of the yard waste).The value assigned to the biochar is based on three components:(i)the P and K content of the biochar,(ii)the improved fertilizer use efficiency,and(iii)the GHG emission reduction.For valuing the GHG offsets,there are two approaches one can use:either to value only the stable C in the biochar,or to value the total life-cycle GHG emission reduction in the entire biochar system.For this analysis,we use the life-cycle C emission reduction to calculate the GHG offset,adding more value to the biochar because it incor-porates the emission offsets from avoided fossil fuels, fertilizers,reduced soil N2O emissions,etc.The SI provides results on valuing the stable C in the biochar only.The other variable in the GHG offsets is in the value assigned per t of CO2e emission reduction.Low and high revenue scenarios are considered,where values of$20and$80t-1CO2e are used,based on the IPCC recommendations(39).The syngas value per MJ is assumed equivalent to natural gas.All costs and revenues are described in more detail in the SI. Results and DiscussionEnergy.For each feedstock assessed,the net energy of the system is positive,i.e.,more energy is generated than consumed(Figure2a).The net energy of1dry tonne of late stover,early stover,switchgrass,and yard waste is+4116, +3044,+4899,and+4043MJ,respectively.The excess syngasheat energy produced per tonne of feedstock is+4859,+4002, +5787,and+3507MJ for the late stover,early stover, switchgrass,and yard waste,respectively.Early stover consumes the most fossil fuels(-1007MJ),while yard waste actually yields a net+424MJ of fossil fuels due to the avoided composting process.The late stover functional unit consumes the least amount of energy of all feedstocks.Drying,agro-chemicals,andfield operations are the highest energy consuming processes for stover and switchgrass.The role of the feedstock moisture content on the energy consumed in drying is evident,as the early stover clearly consumes more energy in drying than the late stover,and yard waste(45% mcwb)consumes the most energy for drying.The energy associated with the feedstock production and collection is highest for switchgrass,as shown by the agrochemicals(44% of the total)andfield operations(27%).For energy generation, the heat energy produced has the highest contribution for all feedstocks,at90-94%of the total energy generated. Avoided fossil fuel production is only a small fraction of the total,from4-6%of the total energy generated.The con-tribution analysis also highlights the relatively small impact that the biomass transport(2-3%)and the plant construction (2-4%)each have on the energy consumption.The“other processes”category,aggregated in Figure2a for clarity, includes the processes that contribute only a minor amountVOL.44,NO.2,2010/ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE&TECHNOLOGY9829to the energy consumption or production:biochar transport,plant dismantling,farm equipment,biochar application and avoided fertilizer production.Climate Change -Emission Balance.For climate change impacts,net negative GHG emissions imply more CO 2e reductions than emissions.The net GHG emissions for late stover,early stover,and yard waste are -864,-793,and -885kg CO 2e t -1dry biomass (Figure 2b).Of all of the biomass sources,the yard waste system results in the most GHG emissions reductions per functional unit,primarily because there are no emissions associated with the yard waste production or collection but only for transport.The switchgrass results demonstrate the critical role that land-use change plays in the life-cycle climate change impacts of bioenergy crops.For the switchgrass A scenario,the net GHG emissions are negative (-442kg CO 2e t -1),while for the switchgrass B scenario the net GHG emissions are positive (+36kg CO 2e t -1).By estimating the GHG emissions from a global approach which accounts for land conversion as discussed in the Methodology and SI,the impact assessment reveals the potential consequences of using U.S.croplands for biofuels.Even for a strategy as promising as biochar forC sequestration,the net GHG emissions of the global system do not favor the switchgrass scenario when these energy crops are grown predominantly on existing cropland.Carbon sequestration in one place may be replaced by land-use change emissions in another location.Although the switch-grass A scenario could reduce GHG emissions by 442kg CO 2e t -1switchgrass,this would only be applicable for land conversion that is predominantly temperate grasses and existing croplands,rather than temperate,tropical,or boreal forests (see SI).In an attempt to globally sequester C,it would be undesirable to generate GHG elsewhere as an unintended consequence of domestic industrial activities (40).Although a recent report by Kim et al.(41)indicates that it is inappropriate to assign the entirety of indirect land-use change emissions to biofuels,it is a potential consequence that must be considered.Despite the fact that land-use change decisions in other countries are complex and have multiple influences,the pressures of large biofuel industries and agricultural markets have significant influences on land-use change in developing countries (40).Contribution Analysis.The contribution analysis for climate change impacts (Figure 2b)illustrates that land-use change and field emissions associated with feedstock pro-duction are the dominant processes for both the A and B switchgrass scenarios,contributing 83%and 91%of the GHG emissions,respectively.For both stover and switchgrass,agrochemical production and field operations are responsible for a large proportion of GHG emissions.The “other processes”category is an aggregation of those processes contributing a minor amount of GHG emissions or reduc-tions,including biomass transport,biochar transport,chip-ping,plant construction and dismantling,farm equipment,biochar application,and avoided fertilizer production.For the late stover scenario,biomass transport 15km to the facility contributes <4%of the total GHG emissions,while biochar transport 15km to the field contributes ∼1%.For the net GHG emissions reductions,the stable C sequestered in the biochar contributes the largest percentage for all feedstocks:66%and 62%for early and late stover,56%and 54%for switchgrass A and B,and 63%for yard waste.However,the avoided fossil fuel production and combustion also accounts for a significant portion,between 26and 40%depending on the nd-use change for the switchgrass A and B scenarios contributes another 2%and 5%,respectively,of the reduced GHG emissions due to CO 2sequestration in biomass and soils.Reduced N 2O emissions from the soil upon biochar application to the soil contribute only 2-4%of the total emission reduction.A biochar greenhouse gas accounting analysis by Gaunt and Cowie (24)has calculated the total emissions abatement of biomass pyrolysis with biochar applied to soil to be between 2.6and 16t CO 2e t -1biochar,depending on the feedstock,its conventional management practice,fossil fuel substitu-tion,and cropland to which biochar is applied.For wheat straw residue and natural gas substitution,the result is 2.6-7.6t CO 2e t -1biochar,while yard waste (diverted from composting)ranges from 7.4to 12.5t CO 2e t -1biochar.Converting our results for the late stover and yard waste to similar units,we find 2.9and 3.0t CO 2e t -1biochar,respectively,which fall on the lower end of the range found in their accounting.Another detailed analysis from Gaunt and Lehmann (3)calculated the avoided GHG emissions for biochar production and found 10.7t CO 2e ha -1yr -1for corn stover and 12.6t CO 2e ha -1yr -1for switchgrass.Converting our results to these units,we find 7.0and 5.3t CO 2e ha -1yr -1for stover and switchgrass (scenario A),respectively.Dif-ferences in our LCA results and the calculations from both Gaunt and Cowie (24)and Gaunt and Lehmann (3)arise primarily due to their higher estimates for avoided CH 4and N 2O emissions in composting;avoided emissions whenFIGURE 2.(a)Contribution analysis for the net energy per dry tonne of late

change.)8309ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE &TECHNOLOGY /VOL.44,NO.2,2010biochar is used as a soil amendment;as well as their not accounting for emissions associated with other processes (harvesting the wheat straw,land-use change effects,or nutrient losses in residue removal).(See the SI for further discussion comparing energy yields.)Alternative Biomass Uses.We can also compare the scenario of biochar-to-soil to that of biochar-as-fuel,assuming the biochar is replacing coal combusted in an integrated gasification combined cycle(IGCC)plant.For the late stover scenario,the avoided emissions for biochar production followed by biochar combustion(assuming an energy content of∼30MJ kg-1biochar,i.e.,8880MJ per functional unit)in replacement of coal are-617kg CO2e t-1dry stover.This comparison illustrates that29%more GHG emissions reductions are made when the biochar is applied to soil(-864 kg CO2e t-1dry stover)rather than used as a fuel.If we compare biomass direct combustion to biomass-to-biochar-to-soil(where the avoided fossil fuels impacts are not included for either scenario),the resulting net GHG for biomass direct combustion is+74kg CO2e t-1stover and for biomass-to-biochar-to-soil is-542kg CO2e.This indicates that emission reductions are greater for a biochar system than for direct combustion.If natural gas is used as the avoided fossil fuel in both scenarios,the net GHG are-987 and-864kg CO2e t-1dry stover for the biomass combustion and biomass-to-biochar-to-soil,respectively.When viewed in this light the net GHG look comparable.However,in the biomass-to-biochar-to-soil,589kg of CO2are actually removed from the atmosphere and sequestered in soil,whereas the biomass combustion benefits from the avoidance of future fossil fuel emissions only.This example highlights the need for transparent system boundaries when comparing between biomass management alternatives.Large-Scale Emission Reductions.As afirst approxima-tion to potential GHG reductions on a larger scale,we use the late stover baseline model for biomass residues.On a global scale,using50%of the1.5billion tonnes of currently unused crop residues annually(42),the net GHG reductions are0.65Gt CO2e per year.(The amount of global unused residues is calculated as the difference between the available residues and the used portion,which are dependent on the crop,region,harvest factor,and recovery rate.)With a goal of reducing global fossil fuel GHG emissions from the2007 level(31Gt CO2e(43))by50%in2050(according to IPCC recommendation to stabilize warming at2.0-2.4°C(39)),biochar would provide∼4%of these emissions reductions with50%of crop residues alone.Or,for the U.S.,assuming 141.1million tonnes of currently unused crop residues and 124.7million tonnes of currently unexploited forest residues annually(44),the net GHG reductions are230Mt CO2e per year.(The amount of unused crop residues in the U.S.is calculated as80%of the currently available residues(20% are currently used),and a40%residue recovery potential.) If the U.S.were to adopt policies aiming to reduce fossil fuel GHG emissions by50%of the2007level(5820Mt CO2e(43)) by2050,222.6Mt CO2e from sustainable biochar production could contribute∼8%of these annual emissions reductions. These estimates demonstrate that sustainable biochar pro-duction from unused biomass waste resources may play a significant role in mitigating climate change on a global level. Future studies will seek to evaluate these larger scale scenarios.Economic Analysis.The economic analysis indicates that the uncertainty in the value of sequestered CO2e creates a large variability in the net profitability.Each feedstock shown in Figure3a has a high and low revenue scenario,according to an$80t-1CO2e versus a$20t-1CO2e GHG offset value. The high revenue of late stover(+$35t-1stover)indicates a moderate potential for economic viability.Neither the switchgrass A nor B scenarios are profitable in the low revenue scenario due to the lower C revenues for A and the C costs for B,while switchgrass A has marginal potential for profitability(+$8t-1)in the high revenue scenario.Despite the revenues from the biochar and energy products for all feedstocks,the overall profitability is hindered by the cost of feedstock collection and pyrolysis,even when C is valued at$80t-1CO2e.A breakeven analysis reveals that the minimum CO2e price would need to be$40t-1CO2e for late stover,$62t-1CO2e for switchgrass A,and only$2t-1CO2e for yard waste.Due to the net GHG emissions for switchgrass B there is no price for GHG offsets that would make it profitable.The overall economic results highlight the potential revenue for waste stream feedstocks such as yard waste(net +$69and+$16for the high and low scenarios)when thereis a tipping fee or cost associated with managing the waste under current practices.Other biomass waste resources that may be promising for biochar production are livestock manures such as poultry,horse,and cattle.However, challenges arise if the feedstock has a high moisture content, such as in dairy manure.Sensitivity Analysis.The sensitivity to variations or uncertainties is significantly different for various process parameters.The GHG balance is relatively insensitive to rather large changes in biochar properties such as between80and FIGURE3.(a)Contribution analysis for the economic costs per tonne dry feedstock for the late stover,switchgrass A and B, and yard waste in biochar systems with bioenergy production.

China Environmental Science, 2018,38(5):1653~1662 Abstract:To better understand the pollution characteristics of black carbon (BC) in Shenzhen, BC and meteorological factors were measured from January 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015 at XC (suburban site) and ZZL (urban site) in Shenzhen. The results showed the average mass concentrations of BC at XC and ZZL sites during the campaign were (1.12±0.90) µg/m3 and (2.58±2.00) µg/m3 respectively. The background concentrations of BC at the two sites were (0.27±1.31) µg/m3 and (1.07±0.85) µg/m3 respectively. The σabs at XC site was (5.87±4.81) Mm-1 while at ZZL site was (13.47±10.50) Mm-1. It was found that the values at the urban site were much higher than those at the suburban site. The BC concentrations at both sites were following the logarithmic normal distribution with higher concentrations in the dry season than that in the rainy season. A distinct diurnal pattern of BC with two peaks was observed at ZZL site. In contrast, XC site did not show obvious diurnal variations. The Absorption Angstrom Exponent (AAE) can be considered as an indicator of BC mixing state. It was found to be close to 1at both sites, indicating that BC at the two sites were dominated by fossil fuel combustion.Further study suggested high BC concentrations at XC site were usually associated with northwest wind (10~20m/s) when polluted aerosols were transported from the Shenzhen container wharf, which is the world's third largest container terminal. The backward trajectories clusters analysis indicated that BC at XC site was mainly affected by the long-range transport.

R (ATN)是用于修正“负载效应”的ATN 的函数,可用下列公式计算得出[20]: 1ln(ATN%)ln(10%)(ATN)1ln(50%)ln(10%)R f ⎛⎞−=−⎜⎟−⎝⎠(4) 式中:f 是可调的,为了实现数据不连续性的最小化.本次研究的黑碳仪数据采用的C ref 为3.48[22]、f 为1.20,使用Aethlometer date processor 程序实现数据的订正[24].在已知吸收系数的情况下,BC 质量浓度的计算公式为:abs BC λσσ= (5) 式中:σλ表示单位面积沉积在滤膜上的单位质量的黑碳气溶胶对光的衰减率,m 2/g.得到采样时间间隔Δt 内采样的空气体积V ,结合(1)~(5)式通过计算即可得到该时间段内空气样品中的BC 含量.本文中的直方图和箱式图使用Histbox 程序绘制[25]. 2 结果与讨论2.1 观测结果频率分布 图2所示为深圳市XC 和ZZL 站点2014年1月1日~2015年6月30日观测得到的BC 逐时浓度和气溶胶吸收系数σabs 的频率分布图,吸收系数σabs 是在波长520nm 处测得,记为σabs520.由图2可知,观测期间XC 站点的BC 平均浓度和气溶胶吸收系数σabs520分别为 (1.12±0.90)μg/m 3、(5.87±4.81)Mm -1,ZZL 站点对应的值分别为(2.58±2.00)μg/m 3、(13.47±10.50)Mm -1,深圳市城区BC 浓度和气溶胶吸收系数σabs 均超过郊区值的2倍多,说明深圳市城区细粒子污染更严重.平均浓度只能反映某地污染物在一段时期的浓度平均值,无法衡量本地长时间污染物背景浓度值.本底浓度是指大气中某物质基本混合均匀后的浓度,能够反映某一尺度区域内处于均匀混合状态的某种成分的大气浓度水平,把出现频率最大的峰值浓度作为该地区的本底浓度,用来反映本地污染背景值[26].进一步采用多参数对数正态分布函数对两个站点的BC 频数分布拟合,通过拟合后的函数求得两个站点BC 的本底浓度分别为:XC 站点(0.27±1.31)μg/m 3、ZZL 站点(1.07±0.85)μg/m 3,两个站点的本底1656 中国环境科学 38卷浓度都小于该站点的平均浓度,两个站点BC浓度分布均为对数正态分布.XC站点低浓度出现的频率要远大于ZZL站点,说明城区BC污染比郊区严重.BC(µg/m3)BC(µg/m3)图2 XC、ZZL站点BC浓度和气溶胶吸收系数频率分布Fig.2 Frequency distributions ofσabs520 and BC at XC and ZZL sites2.2深圳市BC浓度水平表1所示为本次观测BC浓度和我国其他站点的比较结果.同中国北方城市比较,深圳市城区BC浓度明显低于北京[31]、成都[33]、重庆[34]、合肥[36]、上海[37]、兰州[38]等北方城区BC值,也低于珠三角城市东莞[35]城区BC值,同2009年深圳城区[27]观测的数据对比,本次测得的值下降明显,说明近年来深圳市城区空气质量有一定的改善;而深圳市郊区BC浓度低于南京[30]、北京[32]、广州[35]、上海[38]等郊区BC值,和海洋大气背景海南西沙永兴岛[29]的BC浓度相比,其本底浓度值较接近,说明深圳市XC站点作为一个区域本底站具有较好的代表性,XC站点可作为珠三角地区大气成分背景站点.表1我国不同站点BC浓度对比(µg/m3)Table 1 Comparison of BC in different sites in China (µg/m3)观测站点站点类型观测时间平均浓度本底浓度深圳西涌(本研究) 郊区 2014-01~2015-06 1.12±0.90 0.30±1.16深圳竹子林(本研究) 城区 2014-01~2015-06 2.58±1.91 1.13±0.81 深圳[27]城区 2009-01~2009-12 5.70±4.60 2.50青海瓦里关[28]全球本底 1994-07~1999-12 0.13~0.3 0.05~0.13海南西沙永兴岛[29]海洋背景 2012-05 0.6 0.2~0.5 江苏南京[30]郊区 2015-01~2015-10 2.52±1.75 1.43北京[31]城区 2013-11~2015-10 4.77±4.49 /北京[32]郊区 2010-7~2010-8 2.89±1.62 / 四川成都[33]城区 2013-09~2014-07 7.32 2.43~5.05期 程 丁等:深圳市城区和郊区黑碳气溶胶对比研究 1657续表1观测站点 站点类型观测时间 平均浓度 本底浓度重庆市[34]城区 2013-04~2014-02 4.86±2.373.0~3.5 广州帽峰山[35]东莞[35]郊区 城区2009-01~2009-12 2009-01~2009-122.43 5.271.42.3安徽合肥[36] 城区 2013-06~2014-05 4.88±2.99 2.0~3.0 上海浦东[37] 城区 2007-12~2008-11 3.80±3.20 / 上海东滩[37] 郊区 2007-12~2008-11 1.70±2.30 / 甘肃兰州[38]郊区 2007-01~2009-08 1.571.02.3 日变化分析图3所示为XC 和ZZL 站点BC 浓度的日均变化图,图中圆圈代表平均值,直线的上下边代表95和5分位数,柱形上下边代表75和25分位数,中心线代表中位数.由图可知,整个观测期间XC 站点的BC 浓度日变化波动范围较小,呈平滑稳定状态,没有明显的峰值和谷值,仅在18:00(北京时间,下同)时刻略微上升;ZZL 站点的BC 浓度日变化波动范围较大,具有明显的双峰结构,两个峰值分别出现在早上08:00和下午19:00~21:00时刻,双峰出现的时间与市中心机动车排放源的早晚高峰对应.谷值出现的时间大约是在中午13:00和夜间04:00左右,第一个谷值出现的时间与边界层的抬升息息相关.BC 的日变化特征是由气象条件的日变化和人为活动的日变化规律共同影响决定,能反映出人为活动及大气边界层的日变化特征.XC 站点日变化波动较小主要有两方面原因:一是由于XC 站点的大气环境质量受污染程度较轻,空气比较洁净,环境中BC 浓度本身就比较低;二是由于XC 站点远离人为源和交通源,受人类活动影响较少,因此XC 站点BC 浓度日变化波动较小. XC 站点在18:00时刻BC 浓度略微上升,可能是受傍晚气温下降、边界层顶层降低的原因使得大气中污染物扩散能力下降,导致BC 有微弱累积.B C (µg /m 3)B C (µg /m 3)图3 XC 、ZZL 站点BC 浓度的日平均变化 Fig.3 BC diurnal pattern at XC and ZZL sitesZZL 站点东北方向垂直距离200m 是京港澳高速公路,公路偏北、东北方向都是居民生活区,站点靠近人为源和交通源,受人类活动影响较大.夜间至早晨时间段大气条件相对稳定,高速公路车辆行驶较少,ZZL 站点夜间BC 浓度呈下降趋势.随着天亮后人类活动增强以及车辆早高峰的到来,BC 浓度在短期内迅速积累,达到峰值.待早高峰结束后车辆逐渐减少,午后太阳辐射、大气湍流活动都达到最大值,同时加上边界层的抬升,这些因素均有利于BC 的稀释,因此在中午13:00时刻BC 浓度达到最小值.下午随着晚高峰来临, BC 浓度持续上升,在20:00时刻达到第二个峰值.峰值和谷值出现的时间与上下班高峰、机动车行驶规律及大气边界层运动规律相吻合.1658 中 国 环 境 科 学 38卷2.4 干湿季变化分析深圳是珠江三角洲核心城市,位于华南地区,由于深圳独特的地理位置使得它气候环境的四季变化不明显,根据湿度和降水量,把华南地区全年划分为干季和湿季[39].其中湿季是4~9月,干季是10月~次年3月,湿季伴随着较高温度和较多雨量,太阳辐射和日照时间均较干季大,干季气候相对干燥,温度也较低.表2统计了XC 和ZZL 站点观测期间干湿季BC 浓度特征.由表2可知:XC 站点干湿季BC 平均浓度分别为(1.55±0.91),(0.69±0.71) μg/m 3,本底浓度分别为(1.00±0.65),(0.21±0.91) μg/m 3, 干季BC 平均浓度为湿季的2.2倍,干季BC 本底浓度大约是湿季的5.0倍;ZZL 站点干湿季BC 平均浓度分别为(3.26±2.13),(1.91±1.60) μg/m 3,本底浓度分别为(1.92±0.63),(0.83±0.69) μg/m 3,干季BC 平均浓度是湿季的1.7倍,干季BC 本底浓度是湿季的2.3倍.ZZL 站点的BC 平均浓度在干湿季分别是XC 站点的2.1倍和2.8倍;本底浓度分别为1.9倍和4.0倍.表2 两站点BC 浓度干湿季对比(µg/m 3) Table 2 The comparison of BC in different sites in dryand rainy seasons (µg/m 3)站点 季节平均浓度本底浓度干季 1.55±0.91 1.00±0.65 XC 湿季 0.69±0.71 0.21±0.91 干季 3.26±2.13 1.92±0.63 ZZL湿季 1.91±1.60 0.83±0.69数据反映两地干湿季BC 浓度差异较大,干季明显高于湿季.干湿季节BC 浓度差异受多方面因素控制,首先珠三角地区干湿季节大尺度背景风向不同,干季受东北季风影响为主,吹偏北风,在污染物远距离传输过程中有长三角及闽浙沿海一带污染物与本地污染物叠加导致干季BC 浓度偏高,湿季受南海季风影响为主,吹偏南风,来自南海的气流比较清洁导致湿季BC 浓度偏低;其次,干季有微弱的下沉气流,有利于污染物不断在低层堆积,湿季垂直向上的热力输送较强,有利于污染物向高层扩散,加上湿季降雨较多,BC 粒子受雨水冲刷发生吸湿增长,加速湿沉降过程,这些因素均造成湿季BC 浓度低于干季. 2.5 年变化分析图4所示为XC 和ZZL 站点BC 浓度年变化特征,图中随着颜色由蓝到红表示BC 浓度逐渐增大.由图4可知,XC 站点BC 浓度受人为活动影响较小,在水平方向上颜色变化较稳定,在7~10月傍晚18:00~21:00时段有微弱的增大趋势;ZZL 站点受人为活动影响较大,在水平方向变化剧烈,早晚都有较强的颜色变化趋势,在10月~次年1月傍晚浓度都处于较高水平.图4 XC 、ZZL 站点逐时BC 浓度年变化Fig.4 Annual variations of hourly black carbon aerosol atXC and ZZL sitesBC 浓度变化主要受局地污染源和气象条件的共同作用.两个站点的BC 浓度逐月波动都较大,造成一年中的不同月份BC 浓度变化的原因是多方面的,除受当地排放源和排放强度不同影响外,还受到大气湍流变化强度的影响.每年2~8月珠三角地区日照时间较长,地面接收到的能量较多,大气湍流垂直运动较为剧烈,有利于污染物稀释,该段时期BC 浓度较低;9月~次年1月珠三5期 程 丁等:深圳市城区和郊区黑碳气溶胶对比研究 1659角地区日照时间较短,大气湍流发展弱,且逆温层出现的频率较高,不利于污染物稀释,因此这段时期BC 浓度处于较高水平. 2.6 波长吸收指数波长吸收指数(AAE)可以用来分析气溶胶的混合状态,它是由两个不同波长(α1的α2)的吸收系数的比值和波长比值求出的负指数:AAE1122()()()()αλλαλλ−=(6) 式中:α(λ)表示吸收系数,λ1和λ2表示不同波长,通过上式可得该组波长的AAE 值:121212ln(())ln(())AAE(,)ln()ln()αλαλλλλλ−=−− (7) 有研究指出,大气中纯净的黑碳气溶胶的AAE 值接近1.0[41];Kirchstetter 等[42]计算了接近排放BC 源的AAE 值大约为0.7~1.3,Chung 等[43]计算的AAE 值大约为0.7~1.0,并推测距离BC 排放源的真实AAE 值要小于1.如果BC 中混合了棕碳气溶胶(BrC)、硫酸盐气溶胶、沙尘气溶胶,其值就会增大[43-44];大气中生物质燃烧产生的BC 的AAE 值要比化石燃料燃烧产生的BC 的AAE 值大[45];基于Sandradewi 等[46]的计算模型,化石燃料燃烧的AAE 值大约为1.1,生物质燃烧的AAE 值大约为1.8~1.9. 本文分别用可见光波段470nm 和660nm 两个波长的吸收系数计算了XC 和ZZL 两站点的日平均AAE 值,XC 站点的AAE 值变化范围在0.56~1.75之间,平均值为(0.94±0.16);ZZL 站点AAE 值日变化范围在0.74~1.29之间,平均值为(0.92±0.08).XC 站点的AAE 值日变化范围、标准差均大于ZZL 站点,说明XC 站点的BC 污染排放源对当地BC 的贡献较不稳定,增加或减少某个排放源,BC 受影响较大,而ZZL 站点的BC 污染排放源对当地BC 的贡献比较稳定,增加或减少某个排放源,BC 受影响较小. 表3所示为XC 和ZZL 两地不同月份的AAE 值比较.由表可知,XC 和ZZL 两地AAE 值均在9月达到最小值,分别为0.77、0.85,在12月达到最大值,分别为1.16、1.03,此结果说明两地在9月份BC 排放源对BC 的贡献比较单一,BC 中所含其他类型的气溶胶较少.华南地区在12月份天气开始变冷, 生物质燃烧及其它含碳物质的燃烧事件增多使得BC 中混杂了其他类型的气溶胶导致AAE 值变大.虽受不同排放源影响,但两地每月AAE 值都在1附近波动,此结果表明造成两地BC 污染的主要来源是相同的,均源于化石燃料的燃烧,不同的是,ZZL 站点受机动车尾气排放影响较大,而XC 站点受码头船舶排放的污染物影响较大. 2.7 风场对BC 浓度的影响XC 站点海拔较ZZL 站点高,视野比较开阔,对风的遮挡和阻碍较少,而ZZL 站点海拔较低,建筑物多造成城市下垫面粗糙度较大,对风的遮挡和阻碍较大,因此XC 站点常年风速较ZZL 地区大.较大的风速能使得污染物较快的被输送,这也是造成XC 站点BC 浓度较ZZL 站点低的一个原因. 图5所示为BC 浓度随近地面风场的变化图.图中由圆心到外表示风速逐渐增大,随着颜色由浅到深表示BC 浓度逐渐增大,虚线圆圈代表风速.由图5发现,XC 站点颜色最深的位置在西北方向,而ZZL 站点颜色最深的位置靠近圆心处.这种现象提示了码头船舶可能是XC 地区BC 的重要排放源,而ZZL 地区则受本地排放源影响较大. 受近地面风场影响,污染物的输送在不同站点间影响显著,下风向地区易受上风向地区传输影响[40].XC 站点正南方向临海,人类活动较少,海面没有较大的污染源,从海面吹来的风较清洁,气流中污染物携带较少,因此当吹南风时,XC 站点BC 浓度始终保持在较低水平;XC 站点的偏北方向是陆地,伴随较多的人类活动,且西北方是深圳盐田港(距XC 站点大约32km),为世界第三大集装箱码头,干季盛行偏北风,当吹西北风时,XC 站点正好位于盐田港的下风向,风速较小时,污染物传输速度较慢,XC 站点BC 浓度没有明显的增加;当风速达到10~20m/s 时,污染物传输速度较快,此时码头排放的污染物源源不断的被输送到XC 地区导致XC 地区BC 浓度急剧升高;当风速超过20m/s 时,传输到XC 站点的污染物随着强气流在1660 中 国 环 境 科 学 38卷短时间内被清除,此时BC 浓度变小.ZZL 站点人类活动较频繁,BC 浓度受局地污染源和城区污染物输送的双重影响.当无风或者风速较小时,污染物在城区容易积累不易扩散,此时BC 浓度最高;当风速逐渐增大时,城区污染物输送速度加快,此时BC 浓度变小.表3 XC 、ZZL 站点不同月份AAE 值比较 Table 3 Comparison of monthly AAE at XC and ZZL sites站点 1月2月3月4月5月6月7月8月9月 10月11月

后向轨迹聚类分析为了更进一步研究两个站点的风场对BC 浓度的长期影响,利用美国国家海洋和大气管理局(NOAA ARL)提供的GDAS 数据,结合TrajStat 软件对XC 和ZZL 站点2014年1月1日~2015年6月30日00:00~23:00逐时气流来源进行48h 后向轨迹反演,根据两站点海拔高度不同分别选择200m 和100m 高度进行计算,并根据计算结果对轨迹进行聚类分析.本研究中根据计算结果将两个站点的轨迹都分为4类(Cluster 1~4,C1~C4),图6所示为XC 和ZZL 站点48h 后向轨迹聚类以及每条聚类对应的BC 浓度分布图.图中每条聚类对应的百分数表示不同方向的气流比例,其大小反映了XC 站点受中远距离传输影响较大,ZZL 站点受周边地区及本地排放源影响较大.图中还统计了两站点不同聚类下对应的BC 浓度.由图可知,XC 站点不同聚类下对应的BC 平均浓度由大到小依次排列为:C1(1.76±1.05) >C4(1.39±0.80)>C3 (1.07±0.76)>C2(0.54±0.55) μg/m 3;ZZL 站点不同聚类下对应的BC 平均浓度由大到小依次排列为:C4(3.50±2.26)>C1(3.25±1.72)>C3(2.63±1.89)>C2(1.62±1.33) μg/m 3.来自于华中地区和海岸线的气流携带污染物较多且污染较大,当受其控制时, XC 和ZZL 地区BC 浓度偏大;来自南海的气流较清洁,当受其控制时, XC 和ZZL 地区BC 浓度偏小.两站点C4轨迹差异较大,ZZL 站点的C4轨迹明显较XC 站点的C4轨迹短,这是由于当ZZL 地区受周边地区及本地排放源共同影响时,在珠三角地区形成小尺度涡旋,其排放的污染物在原地打转造成局地污染,这种现象和吴兑课题组在珠三角核心区发现的性状是一致的[47-48],进一步表明城区站点本地排放源对城5期 程 丁等:深圳市城区和郊区黑碳气溶胶对比研究 1661区BC 的影响较大.图6 XC 、ZZL 站点48h 后向轨迹聚类及不同聚类对应的BC 浓度分布Fig.6 48h average

Black Carbon-Mediated Destruction of Nitroglycerin and RDX By Hydrogen SulfideW E N Q I N G X U,K A T H R Y N E.D A N A,A N DW I L L I A M A.M I T C H*Department of Chemical Engineering,Environmental Engineering Program,Yale University,New Haven, Connecticut06520Received April22,2010.Revised manuscript received July 2,2010.Accepted July7,2010.The in situ remediation of sediments contaminated with explosives,including nitroglycerin and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine(RDX),is desirable,particularly at bombing ranges where unexploded ordnance(UXO)renders excavation dangerous.Sulfides generated by biological sulfate reduction in sediments are potent nucleophiles and reductants that may contribute to the destruction of explosives.However, moderately hydrophobic explosives are likely to sorb to black carbons,which can constitute10-30%of sediment organic carbon.In this study,we evaluated whether the black carbons accelerate these reactions or simply sequester explosives from aqueous phase ing environmentally-relevant sulfide and black carbon concentrations,our results indicated thatblackcarbonsacceleratedthedestructionofbothcompounds, yielding relatively harmless products on the time scale of hours.For both compounds,destruction increased with sulfide and graphite ing sheet graphite as a model for graphene regions in black carbons,we evaluated whether graphene regions mediated the reduction of explosives by promoting electron transfer from sulfides.Our results demonstrated that the process was more ing an electrochemical cell that enabled electron transfer from sulfides to explosives through graphite,but prevented nucleophilic substitution reactions,we found that nitroglycerin destruction, but not RDX destruction,could be explained by an electron transfer mechanism.Furthermore,surface area-normalized destruction rates for the same explosive varied for different black carbons.While black carbon-mediated destructionof explosives by sulfides is likely to be a significant contributor to their natural attenuation in sediments,a fundamental characterization of the reaction mechanisms is needed to better understand the process.IntroductionIn the United States,over313million kg of nitrogenous explosives had been released to the environment by1992 (1).High concentrations in soils and sediments of two of these explosives,nitroglycerin and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine(RDX),have resulted from such releases.For example,up to130mg/kg nitroglycerin has been detected in soil from a military installation(2);nitroglycerin has a suggested LD50value of30-1300mg/kg for mammals(3).Nitroglycerin and RDX are listed as class C possible human carcinogens(4),and are on the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency’s Contaminant Candidate List3(5).Marine sediment contamination is of concern from both direct contamination at marine bombing ranges and dis-charges from contaminated rivers.Pore waters can contain up to5mM hydrogen sulfide due to microbial sulfate reduction(6).As both potent nucleophiles and reductants (7-9),sulfides may affect the fate of nitroglycerin and RDX. However,because these explosives are moderately hydro-phobic(e.g.,log K ow)1.6for nitroglycerin(10)and0.9for RDX(11)),they likely will sorb to black carbons,which constitute10-30%of the total organic carbon in marine sediments(12,13).Black carbons include chars from forest fires and soots from combustion processes.The importance of black carbons for sequestering hydrophobic contaminants in marine sediments has been noted(14,15).A critical unresolved issue is whether the sorption of explosives to black carbons hinders their destruction by sequestering them from reactions with sulfides in the aqueous phase,or enhances their destruction by enabling black carbon-mediated reactions with sulfides.Kemper et al.(16)reported that RDX was destroyed within 2h in the presence of hydrogen sulfide and activated carbon, an anthropogenic model black carbon,at concentrations relevant to marine sediments.Products included nitrite and formaldehyde,indicating cleavage of the RDX ring,and no nitrosated reduction products were observed.Indeed,de-struction rates slowed significantly for nitrosated analogues of RDX.No RDX decay was observed in the absence of either sulfides or activated carbon.Although slightly slower,similar destruction was observed with other black carbons,including graphite powder and pine and oak chars.Oh and Chiu(17) extended these results by demonstrating destruction of RDX and2,4-dinitrotoluene by dithiothreitol,an organosulfide, in the presence of sheet graphite or soot particles.Although both groups claimed that the reaction involved mediation by black carbons of sulfide reduction reactions, rather than nucleophilic substitution reactions,neither group provided direct evidence.Oh and Chiu(17)suggested that the conductive properties of sheet graphite promoted reduction by sulfides based upon analogy to their previous studies employing elemental iron(18).Kemper et al.(16) observed that no RDX destruction occurred below1.2mM sulfides.This threshold suggested an adjustment of the solution reduction potential;thresholds should not be observed with nucleophilic substitution reactions.In addition to conductive graphene regions,black carbons contain oxygenated functional groups,including quinones,which may serve as electron shuttles between sulfides and explosives (19).Alternatively,sulfide reactions with surface functional groups,including quinones,may form organosulfides(20), which may serve as potent nucleophiles.Direct evidence for distinguishing reductive vs nucleophilic substitution reac-tions,and the structural requirements for the explosives and the black carbons remain important questions.One goal of this work was to extend the range of explosive structures susceptible to black carbon-mediated destruction by sulfides from the cyclic N-nitramine,RDX(16,17),and the nitroaromatic,2,4-DNT(17),to nitroglycerin,an aliphatic organonitrate.Previous research has demonstrated graphite mediation of nitroglycerin reduction by cast iron(21).For black carbon-mediated sulfide destruction of nitroglycerin, we evaluated the time scale of the reaction,concentration requirements for black carbon and sulfides,the effect of sulfide speciation(i.e.,H2S/HS-),the black carbon type*Corresponding author phone:(203)432-4386;fax:(203)432-4387;e-mail:william.mitch@.Environ.Sci.Technol.2010,44,6409–641510.1021/es101307n 2010American Chemical Society VOL.44,NO.16,2010/ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE&TECHNOLOGY96409 Published on Web07/20/2010dependence,and product formation over sulfide and black carbon concentration ranges relevant to marine sediments. Our results suggest that,like RDX,nitroglycerin is rapidly degraded to low toxicity products in the presence of sulfides and black carbon.A second goal was to further evaluate the reaction mechanism.Upon analogy to previous work involving the graphite-mediated reduction of RDX(18)and nitroglycerin (21)by elemental iron,we hypothesized that black carbon-mediated destruction of both explosives by sulfides could be attributed to graphene regions within the black carbons(22). Accordingly,sheet graphite was employed as a model black carbon.Based upon the dialysis cell design of Chiu et al.(18), we developed an electrochemical cell which restricted observable solid phase-catalyzed reactions to those involving electron transfer from sulfides to nitroglycerin via the sheet graphite.Nucleophilic substitution reactions between ni-troglycerin and aqueous sulfides or surface sulfides formed, for example,by bisulfide incorporation into quinone func-tional groups on the sheet graphite(20),would be prevented by the physical separation of both the aqueous phases and the sheet graphites to which the sulfides and nitroglycerin were exposed.Therefore,we were able to isolate reactions occurring through the solid black carbon phase,and to tune anodic and cathodic conditions separately by using the electrochemical cell design.Our results demonstrated sig-nificant differences in the reaction pathways associated with different explosives,and varying reactivities for different black carbons.These results indicate that mediation of sulfide reduction reactions by graphene regions within black carbons does not capture the system complexity,and demonstrate a need for a more fundamental understanding of the black carbon-mediated reactions.Materials and MethodsMaterial sources and nanotube purity analysis are provided in the Supporting Information.Hydrogen sulfide stock solutions were made fresh daily by washing the surfaces of sodium sulfide solids with deionized water,and then dissolving them in deoxygenated deionized water(8,9). Sulfide concentrations,representing the sum of all hydrogen sulfide species([H2S]+[HS-]+[S2-]),were determined iodometrically(23).Batch Reactor Experiments.Deionized water solutions buffered at pH7.0with phosphate buffer were purged with nitrogen gas for30min prior to spiking explosives.The deaerated solutions were decanted into vials containing either nitroglycerin or RDX and a weighed amount of black carbon and equilibrated for12h.After spiking sulfides,samples were capped without headspace with Teflon-lined septa,placed on a gently rotating bed at room temperature,and covered with aluminum foil to prevent photolytic reactions.Electrochemical Cell Experiments.Two24-mL vials were connected through Teflon-lined septa by insulated copper wires attached via graphite-based electrical tape(NEM tape, Nisshin EMCO Ltd.)to graphite sheets serving as electrodes (Figure SI-1).The electrical circuit was completed using a salt bridge constructed of Teflon tubingfilled with an agarose gel containing1M potassium chloride,and passed through the Teflon caps.Each cell wasfilled with deaerated deionized water buffered at pH7.0to a level permitting solution contact with the salt bridge tubing and the graphite sheet,but not the wire.The headspace was purged with nitrogen gas,and the vials were capped.The cathodic cell was spiked with an explosive,and gently mixed for12h on a rotating bed to permit sorption equilibrium.The anodic cell was spiked with the sulfide stock solution,the electrochemical cell was returned to the gently rotating bed,and shielded from light by an aluminum foil sheet.With both cells containing deaerated25mM phosphate buffer at pH7and with3mM sulfides in the anodic cell,the potential difference between cathodic and anodic cells was475mV for1µmole nitro-glycerin and395mV for1µmole RDX,respectively,measured using a multichannel potentiostat VSP(Bio-Logic Instru-ments).Analyses.Periodically,samples were sacrificed for analy-sis.The aqueous phase was extracted by shaking for5min into5mL of dichloromethane and the solid phase was extracted by5mL of methyl tert-butyl ether.Extracts were evaporated to dryness under a nitrogen gas stream,resus-pended in250µL of acetonitrile,and analyzed by HPLC-UV. However,glycerol was analyzed by GC/MS in the chemical ionization mode,following an extraction procedure described below.Details for the HPLC and GC/MS analyses are provided in the Supporting Information.Nitrite was analyzed by either ion chromatography with conductivity detection or colori-metrically(23).ResultsNitroglycerin Destruction and Product Formation.The decay of nitroglycerin and product formation were monitored over time using batch reactors.Nitroglycerin(1.0µmole)was spiked into16.4-mL vials containing12g/L preweighed sheet graphite,yielding an aqueous concentration of61µM.An experiment in the absence of sulfides was conducted to study the sorption kinetics of nitroglycerin with sheet graphite. Aqueous nitroglycerin concentrations declined over12h, with no further changes observed through24h.Over an introduced nitroglycerin mass range of0.3-1.5µmoles,the Freundlich adsorption isotherm was approximately linear (q e)0.036C e1.10(Figure SI-2A)).For subsequent experiments, 1.0µmole nitroglycerin was spiked into each vial12h prior to sulfide introduction,resulting in42.3%of the nitroglycerin adsorbed to the sheet graphite.Because both the solid and liquid phases were analyzed for nitroglycerin and the decay products,the results are presented as the total mass retrieved from both phases.No significant nitroglycerin decay was observed in controls lacking both sulfides and graphite or in the presence of12 g/L sheet graphite alone(Figure1A).In samples containing only nitroglycerin and3mM sulfides,nitroglycerin decayed slowly by∼64%over24h,likely due to a nucleophilic substitution reaction(24).However,nitroglycerin decay was complete within4h in the presence of both12g/L sheet graphite and3mM sulfides,indicating that black carbon promoted nitroglycerin destruction by sulfides.In the presence of sulfides and black carbon,nitrite was the major nitrogenous product,accounting for90%of the nitrogen mass balance after24h(Figure1B).Similar to previous biodegradation studies with nitroglycerin(25),1,3-dinitroglycerin and1,2-dinitroglycerin were detected as transient intermediates,and a strong regioselectivity was observed,with1,3-dinitroglycerin formation exceeding that of1,2-dinitroglycerin by a factor of3.Sheet graphite greatly enhanced the transformation of these intermediates(Figure 1C and D);both the formation and decay of1,2-and1,3-dinitroglycerin occurred within24h in the presence of sheet graphite.However,formation,but not decay,of dinitro-glycerins was observed by sulfides in the absence of sheet graphite.Due to low extraction efficiencies for1-and2-nitroglycerin and glycerol by our standard analytical procedure,we conducted separate experiments to verify their formation. We spiked0.44µmole1,3-dinitroglycerin into vials under the same conditions as previous experiments.After5h,the aqueous phase was extracted3times with5mL of ethyl acetate.The extracts were combined,blown down to dryness under nitrogen gas,and resuspended in250µL of acetonitrile. Although sensitivity issues prevented quantification,we64109ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE&TECHNOLOGY/VOL.44,NO.16,2010detected both 1-nitroglycerin and glycerol using HPLC and GC/MS,respectively.To quantify glycerol yields,we added 270µM nitroglycerin to 3mM sulfides and 12g/L sheet graphite.After 24h,samples were extracted three times with 10mL of ethyl acetate and the extracts were combined andblown down to 100µL for GC/MS analysis.The molar yieldof glycerol was 78%((2.9%),suggesting a sequential deni-trification during graphite-mediated nitroglycerin degrada-tion by sulfides.Reagent Requirements for Nitroglycerin and RDX De-cay.Both nitroglycerin and RDX decay followed first orderkinetics (Figure SI-3).In the presence of 12g/L sheet graphite,the pseudo-first-order observed rate constants (k obs )for nitroglycerin decay were first order in sulfides over 0.36-6.26mM (Figure 2A).As the 95%confidence interval of the linear regression model between sulfides and k obs suggested (TableSI-1),there was no threshold in sulfide concentrations below which nitroglycerin was not destroyed.Previously,destruction of the cyclic N -nitramine,RDX,in the presence of activated carbon was reported to be pseudo-first-order in sulfides,but only above a threshold concentration (16);based on the linear regression between sulfides and k obs ,the 95%confidence interval for this sulfide threshold was 1.2((0.1)mM.RDX destruction in thepresence FIGURE 1.Decay of 1.0µmole nitroglycerin (NG)and product formation over time in 25mM phosphate buffer at pH 7.0and 25°C.(A)NG decay,(B)nitrite

indi-cated no threshold (Table SI-1).The dependence of nitroglycerin decay on sheet graphite concentration (Figure 2C)was investigated.Between 3and 36g/L sheet graphite,nitroglycerin decay by 3mM sulfides leveled off.As calculated from the Freundlich adsorption isotherm,the sorbed nitroglycerin percentage likewise leveled off at higher graphite concentrations (Figure SI-2B).For RDX,k obs was linear through 4g/L sheet graphite (Figure 2D),within the linear sorption range (Figure SI-2C).The results for both nitroglycerin and RDX decay indicate that adsorbed species undergo faster decay kinetics than aqueous species.Electrochemical Cell Experiments.Within batch reactors,sulfide-mediated nitroglycerin decay proceeded by concur-rent aqueous phase-and solid phase-catalyzed pathways.To separate these pathways and better characterize the solid phase-catalyzed pathway,nitroglycerin decay was evaluated in three systems:(1)the batch reactor,which combined aqueous and solid phase reactions;(2)batch reactor controls without sheet graphite,which isolated the aqueous phase nitroglycerin reaction with sulfides;and (3)electrochemical cells,which isolated solid phase-catalyzed reactions by physically separating the aqueous phases containing sulfides and nitroglycerin.In batch reactors containing 3g/L sheet graphite and 3mM sulfides,0.86((0.05standard deviation;n )2)µmoles of the 1.0µmole nitroglycerin was destroyed after 4h.Over 4h,0.53((0.02)µmoles nitroglycerin was destroyed in the electrochemical cells,providing direct evidence for nitro-glycerin reduction via electron transfer from sulfides through the sheet graphite.In batch reactors without sheet graphite,0.38((0.11)µmoles nitroglycerin decayed after 4h.Dem-onstrating the utility of this system for isolating the multiple reaction pathways occurring in batch reactors,the sum of the nitroglycerin decay observed for the isolated solid phase-catalyzed system using the electrochemical cells and the aqueous phase reactions using the batch reactor sheet graphite-free controls (0.91(0.11µmoles)was not signifi-cantly different from the decay observed in batch reactors containing sheet graphite and sulfides (Figure 3A).The electrochemical cell design also enabled separate tuning of the conditions in each cell.To evaluate pH dependence,the cell containing nitroglycerin was maintained at pH 7.0to ensure a common percentage of sorbed nitroglycerin.The pH of the cell containing sulfides was varied from 5.7to 8.5to evaluate the importance of sulfide speciation.Nitrite formation in the nitroglycerin-containing cell increased with pH (Figure 3B),suggesting that bisulfide,rather than hydrogen sulfide,was responsible for the sheet graphite-mediated reaction.RDX was evaluated similarly as nitroglycerin (Figure 3C).After 24h,no RDX decay was observed in batch reactor controls omitting either sheet graphite or sulfides.Meanwhile,98%of 0.18µmole RDX was destroyed in batch reactors with 3mM sulfides and 3g/L sheet graphite at pH 7.0,forming 1mol equiv of nitrite.In contrast,neither RDX decay nor nitrite formation was observed in electrochemical cells after 24h or even 6d.The results suggested that RDX destruction observed in the batch reactors was not associated with electron transfer from sulfides to RDX via the sheet graphite as previous researchers had suggested (16,17).Black Carbon Type Dependence.Previous research demonstrated differences in RDX destruction rates by sulfides in the presence of different black carbons,including activated carbon,graphite powder,chars,and soot (16,17).The decay of nitroglycerin by 3mM sulfides was investigated in batch reactors with a variety of black carbons,including activated carbon,sheet graphite,mul-tiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs),single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs),and diesel soot.Nitroglycerin decay experiments with sulfides and 3g/L activated carbon were conducted as for sheet graphite.After 3h,78%of nitroglycerin decayed in the presence of sulfides and activated carbon,but only 26%with sulfides alone.For MWCNTs,SWCNTs,and diesel soot,initial sorption experiments with 1.0µmole nitroglycerin and 8-16mg/L of these materials without sulfides indicated that aqueous concentrations no longer declined after 72h,indicating that sorption equilibrium was attained.Attempts to recover nitroglycerin from the solid phase MWCNTs and SWCNTs were unsuccessful.In subsequent experiments,samples were pre-equilibrated with nitroglycerin for 72h before sulfide introduction.We employed significantly lower concentra-tions (8-16mg/L)of MWCNTs,SWCNTs,and diesel soot than for sheet graphite and activated carbon,and quantified only the aqueous phase concentrations (Figure SI-4).MWCNTs and SWCNTs coagulated and settled from solution,facilitating phase separation.Diesel soot remained sus-pended,and was removed from the aqueous phase by filtration through 0.2-µm filters.Controls under these condi-tions where sulfides were omitted suggested that >90%of the nitroglycerin was recovered from the aqueous phase after 3h.No nitrite or organic transformation intermediates were detected in the aqueous phase,indicating that the other ∼10%of the nitroglycerin was sorbed to the black carbons,rather than transformed.The high percentage of nitroglycerin in the aqueous phase at equilibrium resulting from the low black carbon concentrations enabled monitoring of nitro-glycerin decay via the aqueous phase.In the presence of 3mM sulfides and 11mg/L MWCNTs or 8mg/L SWCNTs,more than 60%of nitroglycerinwasFIGURE 3.(A)1.0µmole

1,3-dinitroglycerin)were detected after 3h.In contrast,in the presence of 3mM sulfides and 16mg/L diesel soot,nitroglycerin decay after 3h was comparable to the 26%decay observed in controls containing 3mM sulfides without soot.Nitrite and 1,2-and 1,3-dinitroglycerin were observed as products with or without soot.To enhance the importance of any surface-catalyzed reaction compared to the aqueous phase sulfide-nitroglycerin reaction,we also evaluated 200mg/L diesel soot;again,nitroglycerin decay after 3h was no different than that in soot-free controls.Attempts to use higher soot concentrations were unsuccessful due to clogging of filters used for phase separation.To compare the ability of black carbons to mediate these reactions,nitroglycerin decay rates were normalized by black carbon surface areas (Figure 4;see Figure SI-5for decay rates normalized by black carbon mass).The order of reactivities was MWCNTs >SWCNTs >sheet graphite >activated carbon.For diesel soot,any surface-catalyzed nitroglycerin destruction reactions were less important than aqueous phase sulfide-nitroglycerin reactions,pre-venting the exploration of any solid phase-mediated reactions.Based upon the level of nitroglycerin destruction observed for the soot-free control,at 200mg/L soot,any surface-catalyzed nitroglycerin destruction reactions must have been <1.5×10-6L/(m 2*s).Although previous research indicated soot-mediated destruction of RDX by organo-sulfides (17),the decay of RDX with organosulfides alone was much less important compared to the decay of nitroglycerin by sulfides,and the time scale of the soot-mediated reactions was on the order of weeks.DiscussionMechanistic Considerations.Previous research demon-strated that graphite could mediate the reduction of RDX (18),nitroglycerin (21),and other explosives by elemental iron.We had hypothesized that black carbon-mediated destruction of explosives by sulfides could be attributed to reduction reactions mediated by the graphene regions occurring within black carbons (22).However,we found that this explanation was too simplistic in two regards.First,destruction of the two explosives,RDX and nitro-glycerin,by the same black carbon type (sheet graphite),appeared to proceed by different reaction pathways.After normalization by sheet graphite surface areas,the pseudo-first-order observed surface-mediated decay rates in the batch reactors in the presence of 3mM sulfides were similarfor nitroglycerin (1.08×10-6L/(m 2*s))corrected for aqueous phase nitroglycerin decay by sulfides)and RDX (9.35×10-7L/(m 2*s)).However,only nitroglycerin was destroyed in the electrochemical cells.Because the sum of the nitroglycerin decay rate observed in the electro-chemical cell and in the batch reactor in the absence of graphite equaled the rate observed in the batch reactor in the presence of graphite,black carbon-mediated nitro-glycerin decay could be attributed solely to electron transfer from the sulfides to the nitroglycerin.The lack of RDX destruction in the electrochemical cell indicates that electron transfer through the graphite phase was not involved.In previous research,RDX destruction in the presence of activated carbon only occurred above 1.2mM sulfides (16).This result suggested a reduction mechanism whereby increasing the sulfide concentration above 1.2mM might have reduced the system redox potential to a point at which RDX reduction became favorable.Our results indicating the lack of a sulfide threshold for RDX destruction in the presence of sheet graphite negates this suggestion,because such a ther-modynamic threshold should be independent of the black carbon catalyst.Moreover,the order of reactivity for Fe(II)-tiron,a reduction-based system,was hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitroso-1,3,5-triazine (TNX)>hexahydro-1-nitroso-3,5-dinitro-1,3,5-triazine (MNX)>RDX (26),the opposite of that observed for RDX destruction by sulfides in the presence of activated carbon (16).One alternative is that black carbon-mediated RDX destruction involves a nucleophilic substitution reaction.As observed previously for natural organic matter func-tional groups (20),sulfide reactions with surface functional groups on the black carbons may have formed organo-sulfianosulfides may serve as potent nucleophiles (20)that can react directly with RDX.Note that the 1mol equiv of nitrite and 2mol equiv of formaldehyde that formed from RDX in the presence of sulfides and activated carbon (16)are similar to the 1mol equiv of nitrite and 1mol equiv of formaldehyde observed during alkaline hydrolysis (27),a form of nucleophilic substitution reaction.In contrast,during reduction reactions mediated by Fe(II),products included nitrosated triazine reduction products (28),and 3mol equiv of formaldehyde but no nitrite (26);however,in the latter case,it is possible that any nitrite that formed was rapidly reduced to the ammonia that was observed.The lack of direct contact between RDX and sulfide-modified sheet graphite would have prevented such a reaction within the electrochemical cell.However,the nature of the black carbon-mediated RDX reaction remains unproven.Second,black carbons differed significantly in their ability to mediate the destruction of the same compound,nitroglycerin,by sulfides.The surface-area normalized pseudo-first-order nitroglycerin decay rate constants for various black carbon surfaces followed the order MWCNTs >SWCNTs >sheet graphite >GAC (Figure 4).Note that the high reactivities of MWCNTs and SWCNTs were not due to their large specific surface areas since the decay rate constants were already normalized by surface areas.Although the nanotubes were not purified to remove trace metals,metals may not have been responsible for their high reactivities.Previous research with natural organic matter mediation of the destruction of substituted ni-trobenzenes by sulfides indicated the importance of quinone functional groups,rather than trace metals (7).The variation in reactivity among black carbons may arise from differences in conductivity,functional groups,and possibly unidentified reactive sites.Studies of glassy carbon electrodes indicated that oxygenated functional groups,including carbonyl,hydroxyl,and carboxyl groups,couldFIGURE 4.Nitroglycerin decay by 3mM sulfides in 25mM phosphate buffer at pH 7.0and 25°C after 3h in the presence of various black carbons (12g/L graphite sheet,3g/L granular activated carbon,16mg/L diesel soot particulate matter,and 11mg/L single wall carbon nanotubes or 8mg/L multiwall carbon nanotubes).The observed reaction rates were normalized by surface areas of black carbons.Error bars represent one standard deviation of experimental duplicates.VOL.44,NO.16,2010/ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE &TECHNOLOGY96413。
