Xie L, Li P, Mu D. Spatial distribution, source apportionment and potential ecological risk assessment of trace metals in surface soils in the upstream region of the Guanzhong Basin, China. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 234:116527. [PMID: 37394166 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116527] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2023] [Revised: 06/28/2023] [Accepted: 06/28/2023] [Indexed: 07/04/2023]
Abstract
The health of ecosystems and safety of agricultural products are correlated with trace metal pollutionin in the soil, which eventually affects mankind. For this research, topsoil (0-20 cm) was sampled from 51 locations in the upstream area of the Guanzhong Basin to determine the level of pollution, spatial distribution characteristics and origins of 15 trace metals (V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Cd, Pb). The pollution index and potential ecological risk index were adopted for the accurate analyses of contamination degree and ecological risk that trace elements cause. The identification of potential sources of trace metals pollution was carried out using the APCS-MLR model and multivariate statistical analysis. Findings demonstrated that the most contaminated elements in the topsoil of the designated areas were Cr, Cu, Cd and Pb, and the average levels of all trace metal elements exceeded their respective local background values. However, most of the sampling points showed slight pollution, and a few demonstrated moderate and severe pollution. The southern, south-western and eastern parts in the research zone were relatively seriously contaminated, especially near Baoji City and Wugong County. Fe, Cu, Zn, Ni, Se were mainly caused by combination of agricultural and industrial production, the primary sources of Mn, Y, and Zr were the process of mining and industrial production, Cd and Pb originated mainly from traffic emission and agricultural pollution, and Cr mainly came from mining and metal smelting processes. Meanwhlie, some unknown pollution sources were also disclosed. This study has a reliable reference value for determining the source of trace metals in this region. To further determine the pollution sources of trace elements, long-term monitoring and management is necessary.

Abstract
Powder materials are a class of industrial materials with many important applications. In some circumstances, surface modification and functionalization of these materials are essential for achieving or enhancing their expected performances. However, effective and precise surface modification of powder materials remains a challenge due to a series of problems such as high surface area, diffusion limitation, and particle agglomeration. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a cutting-edge thin film coating technology traditionally used in the semiconductor industry. ALD enables layer by layer thin film growth by alternating saturated surface reactions between the gaseous precursors and the substrate. The self-limiting nature of ALD surface reaction offers angstrom level thickness control as well as exceptional film conformality on complex structures. With these advantages, ALD has become a powerful tool to effectively fabricate powder materials for applications in many areas other than microelectronics. This review focuses on the unique capability of ALD in surface engineering of powder materials, including recent advances in the design of ALD reactors for powder fabrication, and applications of ALD in areas such as stabilization of particles, catalysts, energetic materials, batteries, wave absorbing materials and medicine. We intend to show the versatility and efficacy of ALD in fabricating various kinds of powder materials, and help the readers gain insights into the principles, methods, and unique effects of powder fabrication by ALD.
