The projects goal is to examine the Mobility and transformation behaviour of emitted palladium from automobile exhaust catalysts into the environment. To achieve this, I will examine the influence of commonly present organic complexing agents like citric acid, amino acid (L-Methionin) and ethylenediamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA), as well as inorganic anion species (Cl-, NO3-, SO42- und PO43-), on the chemical behaviour and transformation of metallic palladium (Pd-Mohr) and PdO into more soluble species. The analytical experiments will be conducted over different time periods (1, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 days), involving different concentrations of the various complexing agents under examination (0.001, 0.01 and 0.1 M). The results will help clarify the extent to which Pd Mobility is influenced by time and the presence of various complexing agents at different concentrations. In addition, surface analyses of isolated particles using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) will be used to examine the influence of organic compounds and inorganic anion species, on the transformation of metallic palladium and PdO. The proposed study will significantly help to shed light on questions related to the environmental transformation of Pd into more toxic species following emission in car exhausts, a poorly understood process to date.
Untersuchung der Rolle von aquatischen Partikeln, insbes. von Eisenhydroxiden, fuer die photochemische Transformation von Verunreinigungs-Substanzen (z.B. EDTA) in Oberflaechengewaessern und in atmosphaerischem Wasser. Untersuchung der Rolle von heterogenen photochemischen Prozessen fuer den hydrogeochemischen Kreislauf von Eisen und dessen Koppelung mit dem Kohlenstoffkreislauf in Oberflaechengewaessern und in atmosphaerischem Wasser.
The mixing ratio and bulk isotopic composition of nitrous oxide (N2O) was measured after wet extraction and purification of the air enclosed in 150 g ice core samples from EDC, EDML, Vostok, TALDICE, and NGRIP, following the analysis procedure described in Schmitt et al. (2014). The position-specific isotopic composition of N2O was measured after dry extraction and purification of the air enclosed in 600 g ice core samples from Vostok and Taylor Glacier, following the analysis procedure described in Menking et al. (2025). The mixing ratio and isotopic composition of in situ N2O – i.e., the fraction of N2O produced in the ice – was calculated using a mass balance approach (Soussaintjean et al., preprint). After gas extraction, the sample meltwater and ice chips were collected to measure the isotopic composition of nitrate (NO3-) following the bacterial denitrification method described in Erbland et al. (2013). Each sample was associated with its ice age and gas age based on the AICC2023 chronology (Bouchet et al., 2023) for EDC, EDML, Vostok, TALDICE, and NGRIP and Baggenstos et al. (2017, 2018) for Talyor Glacier. The samples cover the periods 11 – 26 ka, 41 – 75 ka, and 136 – 143 ka. Taylor Glacier is a horizontal core, meaning the age of the ice varies with distance along a transect close to the surface where the horizontal stratigraphy is preserved (Baggenstos et al., 2017).
This dataset contains airborne radar data acquired using the AWI Accumulation Radar (ACCU) system during the Antarctic season of 2011/12. The profiles cover western Dronning Maud Land around EDML, eastern Dronning Maud Land over the Sør Rondane Mountains, and over Atka Bay. The data are available as netCDF files (including waveforms and metadata), KML files of the profile line locations, and quicklook images of the radargrams.
