Degradation of pyrene in contaminated soil by the dielectric barrier discharge combined with the MnFe2O4 catalyst.

ABSTRACT: In this work, a spinel oxide of MnFe2O4 was used as the dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) catalyst for the remediation of pyrene-contaminated soil. The performances were investigated through tuning voltage, frequency, catalyst dosage, and soil moisture. Under the optimal conditions, such as the voltage of 10.0 kV, the discharge frequency of 1.0 kHz, MnFe2O4 dosage of 0.3 g, air flow rate of 2.0 L min-1, soil humidity of 5.3%, and degradation efficiency of DBD/MnFe2O4 for pyrene could reach 79.26% after 10 min treatment, which was much higher than that of DBD for pyrene of 42.56%. The DBD/MnFe2O4 system also showed the high degradation efficiency of other pollutants including phenanthrene, p-nitrophenol, and p-nitrophenol in contaminated soil. The enhancing mechanism of the DBD/MnFe2O4 system was discussed.

Dielectric Relaxation in the Hybrid Epoxy/MWCNT/MnFe2O4 Composites.

Project description:The electrical properties of epoxy/MWCNT (multi-walled carbon nanotubes)/MnFe2O4 hybrid composites loaded with MWCNTs (below, 0.09 vol.%, and above, 0.58 vol.%, percolation threshold) and varying concentrations of MnFe2O4 up to 10 vol.% were studied in a wide frequency range (20 Hz-40 GHz) at different temperatures (20 K-500 K). At low frequencies, the dielectric permittivity and the electrical conductivity of composites with fixed amounts of MWCNT are strongly dependent on MnFe2O4 content. For MWCNT concentrations above the percolation threshold (i.e., 0.58 vol.%), the electrical conductivity highly decreases with the increase of the MnFe2O4 fraction. In contrast, for the epoxy/MWCNT just below the onset of electrical conductivity (0.09 vol.% of MWCNTs), there exists an optimal concentration of MnFe2O4 inclusions (i.e., 0.025 vol.%), leading to a dramatic increase of the electrical conductivity by three orders of magnitude. The electrical transport in composites is mainly governed by electron tunneling at lower temperatures (below 200 K), and it is highly impacted by the matrix conductivity at higher temperatures (above 400 K). The electrical properties were discussed in terms of the Maxwell-Wagner relaxation and distributions of relaxation times. A non-invasive platform based on dielectric relaxation spectroscopy was proposed for enhancing the synergetic effect coursed by using multiple nanoinclusions in polymer composites just below the percolation threshold.

Characterization of pyrene utilizing Bacillus spp. from crude oil contaminated soil.

Project description:Pyrene, a high molecular weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), is a priority pollutant present in soil contaminated with crude oil, coal-tar and complex PAHs. Bacterial consortium CON-3 developed from crude oil contaminated soil of Patiala, Punjab (India) cometabolized 50 μg ml(-1) pyrene in the presence of glucose (0.5 %; w/v) at 30 °C, as determined by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Bacillus sp. PK-12, Bacillus sp. PK-13 and Bacillus sp. PK-14 from CON-3, identified by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, were able to cometabolize 64 %, 55 % and 53 % of pyrene in 35 days, respectively. With the increase in glucose concentration to 1.0 % (w/v) in growth medium isolates PK-12, PK-13 and PK-14 showed 19 - 46 % uptake of 50 μg ml(-1) pyrene in 4 days, respectively. Uptake of pyrene was correlated with growth and biosurfactant activity, which is suggestive of the potential role of members of Bacillus genera in pyrene mobilization and its uptake.

Rhamnolipid-Enhanced ZVI-Activated Sodium Persulfate Remediation of Pyrene-Contaminated Soil.

Project description:In soil, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are tightly bound to organic components, but surfactants can effectively transform them from a solid to a liquid phase. In this study, the biosurfactant rhamnolipid (RL) was selected as the eluent; shaking elution in a thermostatic oscillator improved the elution rate of pyrene, and the effects of RL concentration, temperature, and elution time on the elution effect were compared. After four repeated washings, the maximum elution rate was 75.6% at a rhamnolipid concentration of 20 g/L and a temperature of 45 °C. We found that 38 μm Zero-Valent Iron (ZVI) had a higher primary reaction rate (0.042 h-1), with a degradation rate of 94.5% when 3 g/L ZVI was added to 21 mM Na2S2O8 at 60 °C. Finally, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) detected DMPO-OH and DMPO-SO4 signals, which played a major role in the degradation of pyrene. Overall, these results show that the combination of rhamnolipid elution and persulfate oxidation system effectively remediated pyrene-contaminated soil and provides some implications for the combined remediation with biosurfactants and chemical oxidation.

In-duct grating-like dielectric barrier discharge system for air disinfection.

Project description:In the context of spreading Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the combination of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system with air disinfection device is an effective way to reduce transmissible infections. Atmospheric-pressure non-equilibrium plasma is an emerging technique for fast pathogen aerosol abatement. In this work, in-duct disinfectors based on grating-like dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasmas with varied electrode arrangements were established and evaluated. The highest airborne bacterial inactivation efficiency was achieved by 'vertical' structure, namely when aerosol was in direct contact with the discharge region, at a given discharge power. For all reactors, the efficiency was linearly correlated to the discharge power (R2 =0.929-0.994). The effects of environmental factors were examined. Decreased airflow rates boosted the efficiency, which reached 99.8% at the velocity of 0.5 m/s with an aerosol residence time of ~3.6 ms. Increasing humidity (relative humidity (RH)=20-60%) contributed to inactivation efficacy, while high humidity (RH=70%-90%) led to a saturated efficiency, possibly due to the disruption of discharge uniformity. As suggested by the plasma effluent treatment and scavenger experiments, gaseous short-lived chemical species or charged particles were concluded as the major agents accounting for bacterial inactivation. This research provides new hints for air disinfection by DBD plasmas.

Surface modification of ZnMgAl-coated steel by dielectric-barrier discharge plasma.

Project description:In this study, ZnMgAl alloy coated steel sheets were exposed to a dielectric-barrier discharge plasma with different gas mixtures (Ar, Ar + 5% O2, Ar + 5% H2O). Five different plasma-induced processes were identified at the surface: (i) etching of aliphatic carbon groups, (ii) conversion of absorbed carboxylates to carbonates, (iii) field-induced migration of Zn and Mg towards the surface, (iv) increased oxide layer thickness, and (v) homogenization of the surface potential of the originally very heterogeneous alloy. The relative contribution of each process depended on the specific gas mixture. Peel-test studies showed that all atmospheric-pressure plasma treatments improved the adhesive properties of the alloy coating for two different adhesives (acrylate and epoxy amine). The highest improvement was associated to the case of Ar + 5% H2O gas mixture, where all described surface processes took place to a high degree.

Facile Carbon Fixation to Performic Acids by Water-Sealed Dielectric Barrier Discharge.

Project description:Carbon fixation refers to the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) to organic materials, as commonly performed in nature through photosynthesis by plants and other autotrophic organisms. The creation of artificial carbon fixation processes is one of the greatest challenges for chemistry to solve the critical environmental issue concerning the reduction of CO2 emissions. We have developed an electricity-driven facile CO2 fixation process that yields performic acid, HCO2OH, from CO2 and water at neutral pH by dielectric barrier discharge with an input electric power conversion efficiency of currently 0.2-0.4%. This method offers a promising future technology for artificial carbon fixation on its own, and may also be scaled up in combination with e.g., the post-combustion CO2 capture and storage technology.

Association of Growth Substrates and Bacterial Genera with Benzo[a]pyrene Mineralization in Contaminated Soil.

Project description:Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is a carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) that is not known to be a bacterial growth substrate. Organisms capable of cometabolizing BaP in complex field-contaminated systems have not previously been identified. We evaluated BaP mineralization by a bacterial community from a bioreactor treating PAH-contaminated soil during coincubation with or after pre-enrichment on various PAHs as growth substrates. Pyrosequence libraries of 16S rRNA genes were used to identify bacteria that were enriched on the added growth substrate as a means of associating specific organisms with BaP mineralization. Coincubating the bioreactor-treated soil with naphthalene, phenanthrene, or pyrene inhibited BaP mineralization, whereas pre-enriching the soil on the same three PAHs enhanced BaP mineralization. Combined, these results suggest that bacteria in the bioreactor community that are capable of growing on naphthalene, phenanthrene, and/or pyrene can metabolize BaP, with coincubation competitively inhibiting BaP metabolism. Anthracene, fluoranthene, and benz[a]anthracene had little effect on BaP mineralization compared to incubations without an added growth substrate under either coincubation or pre-enrichment conditions. Substantial increases in relative abundance after pre-enrichment with phenanthrene, naphthalene, or pyrene, but not the other PAHs, suggest that members of the genera Cupriavidus and Luteimonas may have been associated with BaP mineralization.

Ion Heating in Advanced Dielectric Barrier Discharge Ion Sources for Ambient Mass Spectrometry.

Project description:Dielectric barrier discharges (DBD) are highly versatile plasma sources for forming ions at atmospheric pressure and near ambient temperatures for the rapid, direct, and sensitive analysis of molecules by mass spectrometry (MS). Ambient ion sources should ideally form intact ions, as in-source fragmentation can limit sensitivity, increase spectral complexity, and hinder interpretation. Here, we report the measurement of ion internal energy distributions for the four primary classes of DBD-based ion sources, specifically DBD ionization (DBDI), low-temperature plasma (LTP), flexible microtube plasma (FμTP), and active capillary plasma ionization (ACaPI), in addition to atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) using para-substituted benzylammonium thermometer ions. Surprisingly, the average extent of energy deposited by the use of ACaPI (90.6 kJ mol-1) was ∼40 kJ mol-1 lower than the other ion sources (DBDI, LTP, FμTP, and APCI; 130.2 to 134.1 kJ mol-1) in their conventional configurations, and slightly higher than electrospray ionization (80.8 kJ mol-1). The internal energy distributions did not depend strongly on the sample introduction conditions (i.e., the use of different solvents and sample vaporization temperatures) or the DBD plasma conditions (i.e., maximum applied voltage). By positioning the DBDI, LTP, and FμTP plasma jets on axis with the capillary entrance to the mass spectrometer, the extent of internal energy deposition could be reduced by up to 20 kJ mol-1, although at the expense of sensitivity. Overall, the use of an active capillary-based DBD can result in substantially less fragmentation of ions with labile bonds than alternate DBD sources and APCI with comparably high sensitivity.

Numerical Investigations on Methane-Air Nanosecond Pulsed Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma-Assisted Combustion.

Project description:Plasma-assisted combustion is a promising approach to achieve fast ignition and highly efficient combustion. In this work, methane-air nanosecond pulsed dielectric barrier discharge plasma-assisted combustion is numerically investigated by combining a homemade plasma model with the combustion model of software CHEMKIN-PRO. Effects of varying applied voltage amplitudes on the characteristic parameters of the plasma-assisted planar shear flow combustion as well as the reaction pathway maps of not only the nanosecond pulsed dielectric barrier discharge plasma but also the combustions without and with plasma assistance are systematically illustrated and analyzed. The simulation results indicate that under the combined action of increasing electric field intensity and increasing charged particle densities, the peak value of the discharge current density increases, and the peak time of the discharge current density is brought forward with the increase of the applied voltage amplitude. The temperature reaches its peak value earlier in the methane-air combustion with plasma assistance than without plasma assistance. The maximum temperature reduces to around 1900 K when the applied voltage amplitude is higher than 11 kV. There are emerging pathways to generate hydrocarbons C2H4 and C2H2 in the plasma-assisted combustion, the reactions of CH4 on CH and C2H on H2, respectively. The reactions involving active species such as H play a significant role in the plasma-assisted combustion, which causes an obvious decrease in the densities of these active species with plasma assistance.
