With the gradual development of high density and high integration of printed circuit board (PCB), the electroplating technology of PCB has been widely paid attention by researchers and enterprises, ...among which the through-hole (TH) electroplating of PCB is the key to realize the multi-layer interconnection. Many researches improve the electroplating quality of TH by optimizing the technological conditions. In this paper, the development trend and challenges of TH electroplating are introduced. In addition, the research mechanism of TH electroplating as well as the influence of additives and periodic pulse reverse electroplating on TH electroplating are also introduced. In addition, the methods of studying the electroplating process through numerical model and optimizing the electroplating process are analyzed and summarized. By adding additives to the bath and deeply studying the mechanism of TH electroplating through numerical simulation, the technological parameters of TH interconnection were optimized. The research status of TH electroplating was reviewed. The deposition mechanism was studied by theoretical calculation method and the electrode process was changed by using additives to improve the quality of TH electroplating.

As nitrous acid (HONO) photolysis is an important source of hydroxyl radical (OH), apportionment of the ambient HONO sources is necessary to better understand atmospheric oxidation. Based on the data ...HONO-related species and various parameters measured during the one–month campaign at Wangdu (a rural site in North China plain) in summer 2014, a box model was adopted with input of current literature parametrizations for various HONO sources (nitrogen dioxide heterogeneous conversion, photoenhanced conversion, photolysis of adsorbed nitric acid and particulate nitrate, acid displacement, and soil emission) to reveal the relative importance of each source at the rural site. The simulation results reproduced the observed HONO production rates during noontime in general but with large uncertainty from both the production and destruction terms. NO2 photoenhanced conversion and photolysis of particulate nitrate were found to be the two major mechanisms with large potential of HONO formation but the associated uncertainty may reduce their importance to be nearly negligible. Soil nitrite was found to be an important HONO source during fertilization periods, accounted for (80 ± 6)% of simulation HONO during noontime. For some episodes of the biomass burning, only the NO2 heterogeneous conversion to HONO was promoted significantly. In summary, the study of the HONO budget is still far from closed, which would require a significant effort on both the accurate measurement of HONO and the determination of related kinetic parameters for its production pathways.
From a global perspective, karst geological disaster has great influence on the tunnel construction. Once it is not handled properly, the karst problems in the tunnel area will cause great disaster, ...such as water inrush, mud gushing and collapse, etc. These karst disasters seriously affect the construction progress of the tunnel, resulting in equipment damage, casualties, and so on. The construction of Yichang–Wanzhou (YW) railway tunnel has created a miracle in the field of Chinese tunneling. The geology of tunnel area is quite complex, the karst disaster is remarkable, and the engineering construction is extremely difficult. In this paper, the karst characteristics, unfavorable geological disasters, and treatment methods of YW railway tunnel were analyzed systematically. The YW railway tunnel and Zhengzhou–Wanzhou (ZW) railway tunnel are both located in the Qinling-Daba (QB) mountainous area, and the regional geological conditions of them are very similar. Therefore, the research in this paper can be extended to the QB mountainous area, thus providing a reference for the construction of ZW railway tunnel. The investigation can also provide reference for the similar engineering.
Hydroxyl radicals (OH) are a key species in atmospheric photochemistry. In the lower atmosphere, up to ~30% of the primary OH radical production is attributed to the photolysis of nitrous acid ...(HONO), and field observations suggest a large missing source of HONO. We show that soil nitrite can release HONO and explain the reported strength and diurnal variation of the missing source. Fertilized soils with low pH appear to be particularly strong sources of HONO and OH. Thus, agricultural activities and land-use changes may strongly influence the oxidizing capacity of the atmosphere. Because of the widespread occurrence of nitrite-producing microbes, the release of HONO from soil may also be important in natural environments, including forests and boreal regions.
The Pearl River Delta region (PRD) of China has long suffered from severe ground-level ozone pollution. Knowledge of the sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is essential for ozone chemistry. ...In this work, a speciated VOC emission inventory was established on the basis of updated emissions and local VOC source profiles. The top 10 species, in terms of ozone formation potentials (OFPs), consisted of isoprene, mp-xylene, toluene, ethylene, propene, o-xylene, 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene, 2-methyl-2-butene, 1-butene, and α-pinene. These species contributed only 35.9% to VOCs emissions but accounted for 64.1% of the OFP in the region. The spatial patterns of the VOC source inventory agreed well with city-based source apportionment results, especially for vehicle emissions and industry plus VOC product-related emissions. Mapping of the OFPs and measured ozone concentrations indicated that the formation of higher ozone in the south and southeast of the PRD region differed from that in the Conghua area, a remote area in the north of the PRD. We recommend that the priorities for the control of VOC sources include motorcycles, gasoline vehicles, and solvent use because of their larger OFP contributions.
The extensive utilization of organophosphate esters (OPEs) has resulted in their widespread presence in the environment, raising concerns about potential human health risks. In this study, 13 OPEs ...were analyzed in both gas and particle phases as well as in indoor and outdoor atmospheric environments. Moreover, human exposure to OPEs were investigated within a university environment, focusing on forehead contact and individual PM2.5 inhalation. The results showed similar distribution patterns of OPEs indoors and outdoors, although higher concentrations were found indoors. The average atmospheric concentration of ∑OPEs (combining particle and gaseous OPEs) was 1575 pg/m3 in the outdoor environment and 6574 pg/m3 ∑OPEs in the indoor microenvironments. The overwhelming majority of OPEs exhibit a pronounced propensity to adsorb onto PM2.5 particles. Notably, the concentration of OPEs on the forehead differed significantly from that in the atmospheric environment, whereas individual PM2.5 exposure was consistent with the concentration of indoor PM2.5. Intriguingly, some OPEs with high octanol-water partition coefficient (log Kow) were not detected in the environment but found on human foreheads. Gas-particle partitioning was predicted using the Harner-Bidleman and Li-Ma-Yang models and the results were in agreement with the monitoring data for approximately half of the OPE monomers. Correlations between OPEs exposure and gas-particle partitioning were found to be more significant for novel OPEs. No non-cancer risk to humans through individual exposure to OPEs was identified via forehead exposure or inhalation. The previously unreported relationship between individual exposure and the environmental occurrence of traditional and novel OPEs demonstrated in this study highlights the importance of evaluating the potential health risks associated with actual OPE exposure.
Particulate matter emissions from a series of different Chinese coal combustion systems were collected and analyzed for elemental and organic carbon (EC, OC), and molecular markers. Emissions from ...both industrial boilers and residential stoves were investigated. The coal used in this study included anthracite, bituminite, and brown coal, as well as commonly used coal briquettes produced in China for residential coal combustion. Results show significant differences in the contribution of carbonaceous species to particulate mass emissions. Industrial boilers had much higher burn out of carbon yielding particulate matter emissions with much lower levels of OC, EC, and speciated organic compounds, while residential stoves had significantly higher emissions of carbonaceous particulate matter with emission rates of approximately 100 times higher than that of industrial boilers. Quantified organic compounds emitted from industrial boilers were dominated by oxygenated compounds, of which 46−68% were organic acids, whereas the dominate species quantified in the emissions from residential stoves were PAHs (38%) and n-alkanes (20%). An important observation was the fact that emission factors of PAHs and the distribution of hopanoids were different among the emissions from industrial and residential coal combustion even using the same coal for combustion. Although particulate matter emissions from industrial and residential combustion were different in many regards, picene was detected in all samples with detectable OC mass concentrations, which supports the use of this organic tracer for OC from all types of coal combustion. 17α(H),21β(H)-29-norhopane was the predominant hopanoid in coal combustion emissions, which is different from mobile source emissions and may be used to distinguish emissions from these different fossil fuel sources.
PM2.5 is the key pollutant in atmospheric pollution in China. With new national air quality standards taking effect, PM2.5 has become a major issue for future pollution control. To effectively ...prevent and control PM2.5, its emission sources must be precisely and thoroughly understood. However, there are few publications reporting comprehensive and systematic results of PM2.5 source apportionment in the country. Based on PM2.5 sampling during 2009 in Shenzhen and follow-up investigation, positive matrix factorization(PMF) analysis has been carried out to understand the major sources and their temporal and spatial variations. The results show that in urban Shenzhen(University Town site), annual mean PM2.5 concentration was 42.2 μg m?3, with secondary sulfate, vehicular emission, biomass burning and secondary nitrate as major sources; these contributed 30.0%, 26.9%, 9.8% and 9.3% to total PM2.5, respectively. Other sources included high chloride, heavy oil combustion, sea salt, dust and the metallurgical industry, with contributions between 2%–4%. Spatiotemporal variations of various sources show that vehicular emission was mainly a local source, whereas secondary sulfate and biomass burning were mostly regional. Secondary nitrate had both local and regional sources. Identification of secondary organic aerosol(SOA) has always been difficult in aerosol source apportionment. In this study, the PMF model and organic carbon/elemental carbon(OC/EC) ratio method were combined to estimate SOA in PM2.5. The results show that in urban Shenzhen, annual SOA mass concentration was 7.5 μg m?3, accounting for 57% of total organic matter, with precursors emitted from vehicles as the major source. This work can serve as a case study for further in-depth research on PM2.5 pollution and source apportionment in China.
City clusters are made up of groups of large, nearly contiguous cities with many adjoining satellite cities and towns. Over the past two decades, such clusters have played a leading role in the ...economic growth of China, owing to their collective economic capacity and interdependency. However, the economic boom has led to a general decline in environmental quality. This paper will review the development and current status of the major environmental problems caused by city clusters, focusing on water and air pollution, and suggest possible strategies for solving these problems. Currently, deteriorating water quality is of major concern to the public and decision makers alike, and more than three-quarters of the urban population are exposed to air quality that does not meet the national ambient air quality standards of China. Furthermore, this pollution is characterized by high concentrations of both primary and secondary pollutants. Environmental pollution issues are therefore much more complex in China than in western countries. China is expected to quadruple its GDP by 2020 (using 2000 as the base year for comparison) and, consequently, will face even more serious environmental challenges. Improving energy efficiency and moderating the consumption of natural resources are essential if China is to achieve a balance between economic development and environmental health. /// ??? ?? 20 ??? ??? ??? ??? 3/4 ??? ??? ? 2020 ???
