Part II: Predicting performance of $\mathrm{DOWEX 21K}$ resin for remediation of comingled contaminants in groundwater

The selectivity of ion exchange (IX) resins for aqueous contaminant removal can be impacted by changing concentrations of competing natural groundwater ions. In a two-part investigation, the Hanford Site 200 West Area pump-and-treat (P&T) facility in Washington State, USA is used as a case study to evaluate the performance of two IX resins for groundwater treatment: Purolite® A532E for pertechnetate (TcO 4 - ) removal, explored in Part I, and DOWEX 21K (DOWEX) for uranium (U) removal. In Part II, DOWEX selectivity for U, as uranyl carbonate species, and uptake kinetics is quantified in a series of laboratory-scale aqueous batch experiments containing Hanford-relevant concentrations of competing anions nitrate (NO 3 - ), sulfate (SO 4 2- ), chloride (Cl - ), and carbonate (CO 3 2- ), as well as co-mingled contaminant TcO 4 - . Here the results demonstrate that DOWEX trimethylammonium functional groups are highly selective for U carbonate species (85–100 % uptake) under all conditions investigated. Only NO 3 - concentrations of 100 mM were shown to decrease U removal, with the extent (85–99 %) depending on competing anion concentrations present in solution. However, at the highest NO 3 - concentrations reported for groundwaters treated at the P&T facility (25 mM), the effect on U uptake is minimal. The batch sorption results are modeled to obtain chloride normalized equilibrium exchange coefficients (K) for predicting DOWEX performance: K SO4--/Cl- = 2.0, K NO3-/Cl- = 5.0, K HCO3-/Cl- = 1.5, K TcO4-/Cl- = 2,000, and K U/Cl- = 50,000. These K values predict little effect of current and future influent chemistries on U removal by DOWEX, where both uranyl carbonate species and TcO 4 - are removed such that effluent concentrations meet groundwater treatment requirements.

Summertime distribution of PAN and other reactive nitrogen species in the northern high-latitude atmosphere of eastern Canada

Aircraft measurements of key reactive nitrogen species (NO, NO2, HNO3, PAN, PPN, NO3(-), NO(y)), C1 to C6 hydrocarbons, acetone, O3, chemical tracers (C2Cl4, CO), and important meteorological parameters were performed over eastern Canada during July to August 1990 at altitudes between 0 and 6 km as part of an Arctic Boundary Layer Expedition (ABLE3B). In the free troposphere, PAN was found to be the single most abundant reactive nitrogen species constituting a major fraction of NO(y) and was significantly more abundant than NO(x) and HNO3. PAN and O3 were well correlated both in their fine and gross structures. Compared to data previously collected in the Arctic/subarctic atmosphere over Alaska (ABLE3A), the lower troposphere (0-4 km) over eastern Canada was found to contain larger reactive nitrogen and anthropogenic tracer concentrations. At higher altitudes (4-6 km) the atmospheric composition was in many ways similar to what was seen over Alaska and supports the view that a large-scale reservoir of PAN (and NO(y)) is present in the upper troposphere over the entire Arctic/subarctic region. The reactive nitrogen budget based on missions conducted from the North Bay site (missions 2-10) showed a small shortfall, whereas the budget for data collected from the Goose Bay operation (missions 11-19) showed essential balance. It is calculated that 15-20 ppt of the observed NO(x) may find its source from the available PAN reservoir. Meteorological considerations as well as relationships between reactive nitrogen and tracer species suggest that the atmosphere over eastern Canada during summer is greatly influenced by forest fires and transported industrial pollution.

Nitrate-To-Ammonia Electroconversion at Neutral pH on Polycrystalline Vanadium Sulfide Derived from Vanadium Disulfide

The electrochemical nitrate reduction reaction (NO3RR) offers a pathway to produce NH3 for fuel and fertilizer from waste NO3-. In this work, a polycrystalline vanadium sulfide (VSx), which is derived from solvothermally grown and annealed VS2, is shown to exhibit excellent NO3RR activity (2.3 +- 0.6 mg.cm-2 geo..h-1 @ -0.92 VRHE) and Faradaic efficiency to NH4+ (69 +- 6% at -0.69 VRHE) in buffered neutral pH electrolyte containing 0.1 M NO3-. A variety of characterization techniques are leveraged to support the VSx assignment, including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, selected area electron diffraction, and X-ray diffraction measurements. The VS2 annealing step reduces the oxide character and generates VSx, which, based on the improved NO3RR activity, results in the creation of active sites for NO3- binding. To help shed light on NO3RR on VSx, VS2 is used as a model system, and a grand-canonical density functional theory (GC-DFT) investigation of VS2 shows strong evidence that S vacancies are active sites for NO3RR, where NO3- outcompetes H+ for adsorption at the S-vacancy sites. Moreover, GC-DFT results highlight a thermodynamically favorable reaction to generate NH4+ in an aqueous electrolyte at relevant cathodic potentials. As an annealed material, VSx may contain undersaturated V sites, which show an electronic structure similar to the theoretically calculated S-vacancy site of VS2, and these sites may contribute to the observed increase in NO3RR activity and selectivity for NH4+ on VSx versus unannealed VS2. Finally, kinetic isotope effect measurements suggest that the kinetic rate-limiting step of the NO3RR on VSx is not proton-coupled, indicating it may be the first electron transfer to adsorbed NO3*.
