  • A Comparative View of Radiation, Xa9745787 Photo and Photocatalytically Induced Oxidation of Water Pollutants
    A COMPARATIVE VIEW OF RADIATION, XA9745787 PHOTO AND PHOTOCATALYTICALLY INDUCED OXIDATION OF WATER POLLUTANTS N. GETOFF Institute for Theoretical Chemistry and Radiation Chemistry, University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria Abstract Water resources are presently overloaded with biologically resistant (refractory) pollutants. Several oxidation methods have been developed for their degradation, the most efficient of which is iradiation treatment, particularly that based on e-beam processing in the presence of Q/O3. The next-best method is photoinduced pollutant oxidation with VUV- and/or UV-light, using HjO2 or H2O2/O3 as an additional source of OH radicals. The photocatalytic method, using e.g. TiQ as a catalyst in combination with oxidation agents such as If Oj or H2O2/O3, is also recommended. The suitability of these three methods is illustrated by examples and they are briefly discussed and compared on the basis of theirenergy consumption and efficiency. Other methods, such as ozone treatment, the photo-Fenton process, ultrasonic and elctrochemical treatments, as well as the well known biological process and thermal oxidation of refractory pollutants, are briefly mentioned. 1. INTRODUCTION Current water resources are strongly overloaded with biologically resistant pollutants, as a result of global population growth and the development of certain industries in the past few decades. The disposal of chemical waste in rivers, seas and oceans has contributed to possibly-irrepairable destruction of marine life. The application of fertilizers, pesticides etc. in modern agriculture has exacerbated the situation. Hence, urgent measures are necessary for remediation of water resources. For the degradation of water pollutants, a number of oxidation methods, based on processes initiated by ionizing radiation, UV- and visible light, photocatalytic induced reactions, as well as combinations of these, have been developed.

  • Quantitative Estimation of Track Segment Yields of Water Radiolysis
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Quantitative estimation of track segment yields of water radiolysis species under heavy ions around Bragg peak energies using Geant4‑DNA Kentaro Baba1, Tamon Kusumoto2, Shogo Okada3, Ryo Ogawara4, Satoshi Kodaira2, Quentin Rafy5, Rémi Barillon5, Nicolas Ludwig5, Catherine Galindo5, Philippe Peaupardin5 & Masayori Ishikawa1,6* − · We evaluate the track segment yield G′ of typical water radiolysis products (eaq , OH and H2O2) under heavy ions (He, C and Fe ions) using a Monte Carlo simulation code in the Geant4‑DNA. Furthermore, we reproduce experimental results of ·OH of He and C ions around the Bragg peak energies (< 6 MeV/u). In the relatively high energy region (e.g., > 10 MeV/u), the simulation results using Geant4‑DNA have agreed with experimental results. However, the G‑values of water radiolysis species have not been properly evaluated around the Bragg peak energies, at which high ionizing density can be expected. Around the Bragg peak energy, dense continuous secondary products are generated, so that it is necessary to simulate the radical–radical reaction more accurately. To do so, we added the role of secondary products formed by irradiation. Consequently, our simulation results are in good agreement with experimental results and previous simulations not only in the high‑energy region but also around the Bragg peak. Several future issues are also discussed regarding the roles of fragmentation and multi‑ionization to realize more realistic simulations. Cancer patients can nowadays select several modalities in radiotherapy such as conventional X-ray therapy and particle therapies (e.g., proton therapy, heavy ion therapy and boron neutron capture therapy).

  • So, Has Voyager 1 Left the Solar System? Scientists Face Off Cosmic-Ray Fluctuations Could Mean the Craft Has Exited the Sun's Magnetic Field
    NATURE | NEWS So, has Voyager 1 left the Solar System? Scientists face off Cosmic-ray fluctuations could mean the craft has exited the Sun's magnetic field. Ron Cowen 21 March 2013 A space physicist this week suggests that NASA’s venerable Voyager 1 spacecraft has become the first vehicle to venture beyond the heliosphere — the magnetic bubble created by the Sun — but other mission scientists disagree. William Webber of New Mexico State University in Las Cruces bases the claim on signals recorded last August by the Voyager 1 cosmic-ray subsystem — a device that he helped to build — along with his late colleague and study co-author Francis McDonald. JPL-Caltech/NASA Voyager 1 recorded a sudden drop in cosmic rays The instrument recorded a dramatic drop in the intensity of the cosmic rays trapped last August, a possible sign that it had left the in the Sun’s magnetic field and a concomitant rise in that of rays generated by more Sun's sphere of influence. distant reaches of the Galaxy. That pattern indicates that Voyager 1 has travelled beyond the Sun’s magnetic influence and is no longer being shielded from galactic cosmic rays, the researchers report in a study published online this week in Geophysical Research Letters1. But if one is to believe a press release issued by NASA on 20 March (the same day the report was published), the two researchers jumped the gun. Other Voyager scientists who analysed the same data last autumn reiterate what they said then: the cosmic-ray data indicate that Voyager 1 is in a transition zone within the outer part of the heliosphere, but until a dramatic change in magnetic-field intensity and direction is detected, the craft remains firmly within the Sun’s magnetic sphere of influence.
