Mechanisms for catalytic SO2 transformation to H2SO4 over clay dusts have been unraveled at a molecular level. All O atoms in ozone (especially molecular oxygen) are effective oxidants due to remarkable promotion of a vicinal Al3+ site.

Trading Program

The most ambitious application ever attempted of a market-based approach to environmental protection has been for the control of acid rain under the Clean Air Act amendments of 1990, which established a sulfur dioxide allowance trading program. This essay identifies lessons that can be learned from this grand experiment in economically oriented environmental policy. The author examines positive political economy lessons, asking why this system was adopted from acid-rain control in 1990, and he considers normative lessons that can be learned from the program's structure and performance, focusing on lessons for the design and implementation of future systems.

This paper summarizes recent empirical research on compliance costs and strategies and on permit market performance under the U.S. acid rain program, the first large-scale, long-term program to use tradeable emissions permits to control pollution. An efficient market for emissions permits developed in a few years, and this program more than achieved its early goals on time, and it cost less than had been projected. Because of expectation errors, however, investment was excessive, and permit prices substantially understate abatement costs. The tradeable permits approach has worked well, but it is not a miracle cure for environmental problems. Coauthors are Paul L. Joskow, A. Denny Ellerman, Juan Pablo Montero, and Elizabeth M. Bailey.

Abstract Algae, which contains most of the marine biogenic sulfur (S), is the main producer of dimethylsulfide (DMS). The oxidation products of DMS (methanesulfonic acid (MSA) and non-sea salt sulfates (nss-SO42-)) are important contributors to acid rain acidity (~ 40%) and have great influence on global climate change and acid rain formation. The biogenic S of red algae mainly exists in carrageenan molecules, the polysaccharide extract of red algae. In this work, the carrageenan biogenic S was fixed into biochar aerogel (SCA) synchronically by pyrolysis with the assistance of the unique hydrogel property of carrageenan. During this process, 89% of C and 96% of marine biogenic S are preserved in SCA, efficiently preventing the loss of C and S element. More importantly, the thiophene S structure in SCA framework derived from the marine biogenic S could endow the carbon aerogel superior electrocatalysis activity by regulating the charge density of adjacent C atoms. For instance, thiophene S structure can promote the cleavage and protonation of N2 molecules and efficiently lower the energy barrier of the promote the protonation of N2, thus greatly enhance the activity of electrocatalytic NRR. This study provided a promising avenue for the synchronization fixation of marine biogenic S and C to reduce the the formation of acid rain and carbon dioxide emissions. It also developed a green and sustainable way to synthesize high-performance biochar materials for advanced energy conversion.
