Based on the experimental data of the acute toxicity to Tetrahymena pyriformis (-lgEC_50), three-parameter (energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (E_LUMO), the molecular volume (V), and the lowest negative charge (Q_min)) dependent equations were developed using structural parameters as theoretical descriptors. Especially, -lgEC_50dependent equation calculated at the B3LYP/6-31G^** level is more advantageous than the others in view of their correlation and predictive abilities. This dependent equation was validated by variance inflation factors (VIF) and t-test methods. Upon comparison, the predictive abilities of our work are all more advantageous than those calculated from the semi-empirical PM3 method.展开更多

This paper begins with a summary of recent China-specific studies on mercury removal by air pollution control technologies and then provides an economic analysis of mercury abatement from these emission control technologies at coal-fired power plants in China. This includes a cost-effectiveness analysis at the enterprise and sector level in China using 2010 as a baseline and projecting out to 2020 and2030. Of the control technologies evaluated, the most cost-effective is a fabric filter installed upstream of the wet flue gas desulfurization system(FF + WFGD). Halogen injection(HI) is also a cost-effective mercury-specific control strategy, although it has not yet reached commercial maturity. The sector-level analysis shows that 193 tons of mercury was removed in 2010 in China's coal-fired power sector, with annualized mercury emission control costs of 2.7 billion Chinese Yuan. Under a projected 2030 Emission Control(EC) scenario with stringent mercury limits compared to Business As Usual(BAU) scenario, the increase of selective catalytic reduction systems(SCR) and the use of HI could contribute to 39 tons of mercury removal at a cost of 3.8 billion CNY. The economic analysis presented in this paper offers insights on air pollution control technologies and practices for enhancing atmospheric mercury control that can aid decision-making in policy design and private-sector investments.展开更多

Two raw water samples from Huangpu River and Yangtze River, two typical drinking water sources of Shanghai, were used for the investigation. Compared with the samples from Huangpu River, the raw water samples from Yangtze River had lower content of total organic carbon (TOC) and ferric ions, but higher bromide concentrations. Under controlled chlorination conditions, four trihalomethanes (THMs), nine haloacetic acids (HAAs), total organic halogen (TOX) and its halogen species fractions, including total organic chlorine (TOC1) and total organic bromide (TOBr), were determined. The results showed that co-existent ferric and bromide ions significantly promoted the formation of total THMs and HAAs for both raw water samples. Higher concentration of bromide ions significantly changed the speciation of the formed THMs and HAAs. There was an obvious shift to brominated species, which might result in a more adverse influence on the safety of drinking water. The results also indicated that high levels of bromide ions in raw water samples produced higher percentages of unknown TOBr.展开更多
