摘要
Radiocarbon (C-14) analysis is a powerful tool that can unambiguously distinguish fossil and non-fossil sources of carbonaceous particles. However, one of the big challenges of this method is to isolate elemental carbon (EC) or black carbon (BC) for C-14 analysis. Hydropyrolysis (hypy) has proven to be an effective method for separating BC in environmental matrices. The potential of hypy for isolation of EC from atmospheric aerosols is evaluated using typical combustion products from non-fossil (biomass), fossil fuel (coal and petroleum), and ambient aerosol samples collected in Beijing and Guangzhou. Using solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) along with measurement of carbon content and C-14, hypy conditions of 15 MPa hydrogen pressure and 550 degrees C temperature was confirmed to effectively separate EC from aerosol samples. Consequently, a comparison study of EC C-14 in aerosol samples separated using the two-step heating method (CTO-375), thermal-optical method and hypy was conducted. The results show that hypy is an effective and stable approach for matrix-independent C-14 quantification of EC in aerosols.
