Abstract:
... The real-time detection of the mixing states of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and nitro-PAHs in ambient particles is of great significance for analyzing the source, aging process, and health effects of PAHs and nitro-PAHs; yet there is still few effective technology to achieve this type of detection. In this study, 11 types of PAH and nitro-PAH standard samples were analyzed using a high ...

Abstract:
... Due to increased drought frequency following climate change, practices improving water use efficiency and reducing water-stress are needed. The efficiency of organic amendments to improve plant growth conditions under drought is poorly known. Our aim was to investigate if organic amendments can attenuate plant water-stress due to their effect on the plant-soil system and if this effect may increas ...

Abstract:
... To improve on existing pyrolytic products and understand the role played by the anion during catalytic pyrolysis with iron salts, different iron salt types were studied for biomass pyrolysis. The results demonstrate that iron salts promoted the cracking of biomass, decreased the precipitation temperature of the volatiles, and increased the production of char and hydrogen. Specifically, the additio ...

Abstract:
... Atmospheric nitrate (NO₃⁻) produced by photochemical oxidation in the atmosphere has high oxygen isotope ratios (δ¹⁸O values). Recently, the primary NO₃⁻ emitted from combustion sources was found to have much lower δ¹⁸O values. However, it is unclear how and to what extents the low δ¹⁸O signatures were controlled by major O sources during the primary NO₃⁻ formation of combustion processes. Here, w ...
