Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the fields of atmospheric science and environmental engineering technology, and in particular to an in-situ simulation system and experimental method for liquid-phase chemical processes of particulate matter in ambient atmosphere. Background Art
[0002] In-depth research on atmospheric chemical processes has become one of the keys to promoting my country's air pollution prevention and control work. 2.5 Secondary components are prominent in the pollution process, and secondary transformation processes are the primary driving force. Atmospheric liquid-phase reactions are considered a key secondary transformation process, contributing significantly to the formation of severe regional pollution. Liquid-phase reactions are chemical reactions using liquid water as a medium. Research has found that incorporating liquid-phase reactions can significantly bridge the gap between simulated particulate matter concentrations using gas-phase reactions and ambient atmospheric observations. Therefore, in-depth research on the liquid-phase chemical reaction mechanisms of atmospheric particulate matter is essential.
[0003] Laboratory simulation is one of the primary methods for studying the liquid-phase chemical reaction mechanisms of atmospheric particulate matter. However, currently commonly used laboratory simulation methods, such as reaction chamber experiments, still have significant limitations. Reactor chamber simulations use zero air or artificially inject one or more gaseous pollutants as the simulated gaseous environment. The single reaction system cannot reflect the complex gas components found in the real atmospheric environment. Furthermore, reaction conditions such as temperature, humidity, and ultraviolet radiation vary significantly. As a result, the liquid-phase chemical process simulation results from laboratory reaction chambers cannot fully interpret the actual particulate matter reaction processes in the ambient atmosphere. This limits in-depth research on atmospheric liquid-phase reaction mechanisms using laboratory simulations, and the applicability and accuracy of the obtained mechanisms are also controversial.
[0004] In summary, there is an urgent need to develop an in situ simulation system and experimental method for the liquid-phase chemical process of particulate matter in the ambient atmosphere, which can simulate liquid-phase chemical reactions under conditions close to the real atmospheric environment, and simultaneously carry out comparative studies of simulations of controllable key parameters and ambient atmospheric observations, which will help to clarify the reaction mechanism of atmospheric liquid-phase chemistry.

[0034] An experimental method using the above-mentioned in-situ simulation device for the liquid-phase chemical process of atmospheric particulate matter comprises the following steps:
[0035] S1: Use analytical grade anhydrous ethanol and ultrapure water to clean the inner membrane layer 1-2 of the first real environment smoke box 1 and the second real environment smoke box 2 in turn, wipe them dry with dust-free paper, replace the new semipermeable membrane 1-3 and assemble the smoke box, ensure the smoke box is airtight, and cover the UV light shield 1-13; then connect one of the injection port / sampling port 1-9 to zero gas, close the others, and open all the gas flow ports 1-10 to achieve zero gas purging of the air inside the smoke box. The zero gas flow rate is not less than 10 L / min, and the purging time is not less than 10 hours;
[0036] S2: Stop zero gas purge and close the sampling port 1-9 connected to the zero gas; turn on the air pump 1-11 to allow the gas in the flow chambers 1-5 of the two smoke boxes to exchange rapidly with the atmosphere, and the gas in the reaction chamber 1-4 is continuously exchanged with the flow chamber 1-5 through the semipermeable membrane 1-3 due to diffusion, while the particulate matter is filtered and does not enter the reaction chamber 1-4, so that the gaseous environment of the two real environment smoke box reaction chambers 1-4 remains close to the ambient atmosphere; the measurement system 7 is respectively connected to the sampling port 1-9 of the two smoke boxes and the ambient atmosphere, and switches to collect and measure the first real environment smoke box 1 reaction chamber 1-4, the second real environment smoke box 2 reaction chamber 1-4 and the ambient atmosphere every 15 minutes, so as to simultaneously track the gas and particulate matter concentration, chemical composition and RH change law of the above three;
[0037] S3: After the air pump 1-11 continuously introduces ambient air for approximately 1 hour in step S2, the sheath gas system is turned on to continuously inject sheath gas into the sheath gas spaces 1-6 of the first real environment smoke box 1 and the second real environment smoke box 2 to reduce wall loss during the experiment; at the same time, a seed aerosol generating system 4 is used to generate a 50 nm monodisperse sodium chloride aerosol of a specified concentration and inject it into the reaction chambers 1-4 of the first real environment smoke box 1 and the second real environment smoke box 2 as seed aerosols for subsequent simulated chemical reactions; the total number concentration of NaCl aerosols in the reaction chambers 1-4 reaches approximately 10,000 # / cm 3 Then stop the injection, disconnect the seed aerosol generating system 4 and close the injection port / sampling port 1-9;
[0038] S4: Turn on the heating device 5-1 of the humidification system 5. The airflow from the air pump 1-11 carries a large amount of water vapor and is injected into the flow chamber 1-5 of the second real environment smoke chamber 2. The airflow then passes through the semipermeable membrane 1-3 and enters the reaction chamber 1-4. The power of the heating device 5-1 is adjusted so that the RH of the reaction chamber 1-4 of the second real environment smoke chamber 2 reaches at least 90% within 15 minutes and remains stable.
[0039] S5: Open the UV hood 1-13 of the first real environment smoke box 1, and the UV hood 1-13 of the second real environment smoke box 2 remains covered. This time is recorded as the start time of the simulation experiment; through the collection and measurement results of the measurement system 7, the differences in the particle generation of the in-situ simulation of the gas phase reaction and the liquid phase reaction in the two smoke boxes under the conditions of only differences in humidity and solar radiation conditions are compared, and compared with the evolution characteristics of the ambient atmospheric particles, the determining factors of the liquid phase reaction are revealed, and the liquid phase reaction rate is quantitatively analyzed.
[0040] The advantages and effects achieved by the present invention are:
[0041] 1. The real-environment smoke chamber device in the system of the present invention uses a unique semi-permeable membrane structure to ensure that the gas, temperature, humidity and other conditions in the reaction chamber where liquid phase simulation is carried out are basically consistent with the ambient atmosphere, solving the problem of large differences between the simulated experimental environment and the real atmosphere in the past, and improving the applicability and accuracy of the simulation results.
[0042] 2. The method of the present invention utilizes two real-environment smog chambers with the same structure as above. By controlling the two key parameters of humidity and solar radiation, the method simultaneously simulates the liquid-phase chemical process and photochemical process of particulate matter in a close-to-real atmospheric environment, thereby achieving in-situ simulation of the liquid-phase chemical reaction of atmospheric particulate matter. Based on direct quantitative comparison with gas-phase chemical reactions and synchronous ambient atmospheric observation results, it can be used to reveal the key factors and mechanisms of liquid-phase reactions.
[0043] 3. The core device of the present invention's in-situ atmospheric particulate matter liquid-phase chemical simulation system, the real-environment smog chamber, is physically small and equipped with casters for easy mobility and transportation. This facilitates in-situ simulation of liquid-phase chemical reactions in various atmospheric environments (e.g., urban, rural, and background). The system is simple to operate and highly automated.
[0044] 4. The present invention controls the humidification system 5 and the detachable UV hood 1-13 to enable two real-environment smoke chambers with the same structure to simultaneously simulate the gas-phase and liquid-phase reactions of particulate matter under different humidity and solar radiation conditions. This overcomes the bottleneck of the poor applicability of the conclusions drawn due to the large difference between the traditional smoke chamber simulation and the actual atmospheric reaction process, and provides a method for revealing the liquid-phase chemical process and reaction mechanism of particulate matter in the atmospheric environment.

An experimental method using the system for in-situ simulation of liquid-phase chemical processes of particulate matter in ambient atmosphere according to any one of claims 1 to 7, characterized in that: The steps include: S1: Use analytically pure anhydrous ethanol and ultrapure water to clean the inner membrane layer (1-2) of the first real environment smoke box (1) and the second real environment smoke box (2) in turn, wipe them dry with dust-free paper, replace the new semipermeable membrane (1-3) and assemble the smoke box, ensure that the smoke box is airtight, and cover it with a UV light shield (1-13); then connect one of the injection port / sampling port (1-9) to zero gas, close the others, and open all the gas flow ports (1-10) to achieve zero gas purging of the air inside the smoke box, with the zero gas flow rate being not less than 10 L / min and the purging time being not less than 10 hours; S2: Stop zero gas purge and close the inlet / sampling port (1-9) connected to zero gas; turn on the air pump (1-11) to allow the gas in the flow chamber (1-5) of the two smoke boxes to exchange rapidly with the atmosphere, and the gas in the reaction chamber (1-4) is continuously exchanged with the flow chamber (1-5) through the semipermeable membrane (1-3) due to diffusion, while the particulate matter is filtered and does not enter the reaction chamber (1-4), so that the gaseous environment of the two real environment smoke box reaction chambers (1-4) remains close to the ambient atmosphere; the measurement system (7) is connected to the inlet / sampling port (1-9) of the two smoke boxes and the ambient atmosphere respectively, and switches to collect and measure the first real environment smoke box (1) reaction chamber (1-4), the second real environment smoke box (2) reaction chamber (1-4) and the ambient atmosphere every 15 minutes, so as to simultaneously track the gas and particulate matter concentration, chemical composition and RH change law of the above three; S3: After the air pump (1-11) in step S2 continuously introduces ambient air for 1 hour, the sheath gas system is turned on and sheath gas is injected into the sheath gas spaces (1-6) of the first real environment smoke box (1) and the second real environment smoke box (2) to reduce wall loss; at the same time, a seed aerosol generating system (4) is used to generate a 50nm monodisperse sodium chloride aerosol of a specified concentration and inject it into the reaction chambers (1-4) of the first real environment smoke box (1) and the second real environment smoke box (2) as seed aerosols for subsequent simulated chemical reactions; the total number concentration of NaCl aerosol in the reaction chambers (1-4) reaches 10,000 # / cm 3 Then stop the injection, disconnect the seed aerosol generating system (4) and close the injection port / sampling port (1-9); S4: Turn on the heating device (5-1) of the humidification system (5), and the airflow of the air pump (1-11) carries a large amount of water vapor and is injected into the flow chamber (1-5) of the second real environment smoke box (2), and enters the reaction chamber (1-4) through the semipermeable membrane (1-3); adjust the power of the heating device (5-1) so that the RH of the reaction chamber (1-4) of the second real environment smoke box (2) reaches at least 90% within 15 minutes and remains stable; S5: The UV hood (1-13) of the first real environment smoke box (1) is opened, and the UV hood (1-13) of the second real environment smoke box (2) remains covered. This time is recorded as the start time of the simulation experiment; through the collection and measurement results of the measurement system (7), the differences in the particle generation of the gas phase reaction and the liquid phase reaction in the two smoke boxes under the condition of only differences in humidity and solar radiation conditions are compared, and compared with the evolution characteristics of the ambient atmospheric particles, the determining factors of the liquid phase reaction are revealed, and the liquid phase reaction rate is quantitatively analyzed.
