Diurnal atmospheric ΔCO was measured on two consecutive days in summer and winter, 2016 at Shangdianzi, Lin'an and Luhuitou regional background sites, and at Waliguan global background site in China. The objectives of this study were to determine diurnal fossil fuel CO (CO) and biological CO (CO) concentrations and to ascertain the factors influencing them. Evident CO inputs (0-33.0 ± 1.4 ppm) were found, with some small morning and afternoon rush hour signals. Particularly, the long-range transport of air masses influenced the seasonal differences and rapid diurnal variations in CO. Diurnal CO showed violent variations (-20.9-113.3 ppm), with high values at night and low or negative values during the daytime. Diurnal CO variations resulted from the tradeoffs between photosynthetic CO uptake and biological respiration CO emission as well as atmospheric boundary layer heights variations. These results might help to understand the roles of fossil fuel sources and biological sources on atmospheric CO diurnal variations at Chinese background sites.

Cocombustion with biomass tar is a potential method for NO reduction during fossil fuel combustion. In this work, the molecular dynamic method based on the reactive force field was used to study the NO reduction by phenol, which is a typical tar model compound. Results indicate that phenol undergoes significant decomposition at 3000 K, resulting in the formation of small molecular fragments accompanied by the generation of large molecular, network-structured soot particles.

In the face of escalating environmental challenges such as fossil fuel dependence and water pollution, innovative solutions are essential for sustainable development. In this regard, zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), specifically ZIF-8, act as promising photocatalysts for environmental remediation and renewable energy applications. ZIF-8, a subclass of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), is renowned for its large specific surface area, high porosity, rapid electron transfer ability, abundant functionalities, ease of designing, controllable properties, and remarkable chemical and thermal stability.
