[Effects of Emission Reductions of Key Sources on the PM Concentrations in the Yangtze River Delta].

The effects of emission reductions of key sources (eight key industries and transportation) on the PM concentrations in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) were investigated using the weather research forecast-chemistry (WRF-Chem) model in 2013 combined with two normal and enhanced emission reduction scenarios. The SO, NO, PM, and NMVOC emissions in the YRD decrease by 36.3%, 26.

Electrochemical Production of Glycolic Acid from Oxalic Acid Using a Polymer Electrolyte Alcohol Electrosynthesis Cell Containing a Porous TiO Catalyst.

A liquid flow-type electrolyser that continuously produces an alcohol from a carboxylic acid was constructed by employing a polymer electrolyte, named a polymer electrolyte alcohol electrosynthesis cell (PEAEC). Glycolic acid (GC, an alcoholic compound) is generated on anatase TiO catalysts via four-electron reduction of oxalic acid (OX, a divalent carboxylic acid), accompanied with water oxidation, which achieves continuous electric power storage in easily stored GC. Porous anatase TiO directly grown on Ti mesh (TiO/Ti-M) or Ti felt (TiO/Ti-F) was newly fabricated as a cathode having favourable substrate diffusivity.
