Sampling Plans

Sampling is a crucial step in analytical chemistry, allowing researchers to collect representative data from a large population. Common sampling methods include random, judgmental, systematic, stratified, and cluster sampling.
Random sampling is a method where each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected for the sample. It involves selecting individuals randomly, often using random number generators or lottery-type methods. For example, when analyzing the properties of a...

Precipitate Formation and Particle Size Control

4.2K
In precipitation gravimetry, the precipitating agent should react specifically or selectively with the analyte. While a specific reagent reacts with the analyte alone, a selective reagent can react with a limited number of chemical species.
The obtained precipitate should be either a pure substance of known composition or easily converted to one by a simple process, such as ignition or drying. In addition, the precipitate should be insoluble and easily filterable. In general, filterability...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Atmospheric Chemistry
  • Data Science

Background:

  • Particle number concentration (PNC) is crucial for assessing air pollution.
  • Existing methods for PNC data preprocessing and source analysis are limited, inefficient, and time-consuming.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and investigate efficient methods for PNC data preprocessing and source analysis.
  • To compare various statistical models for identifying pollution sources.

Main Methods:

  • Developed advanced data preprocessing techniques including variable/observation deletion, outlier removal, and interpolation.
  • Implemented C++ optimized algorithms and parallel computing in R.
  • Compared k-means clustering, PCA, FA, PMF, and NMF for source apportionment.

Main Results:

  • Novel preprocessing methods effectively clean data without introducing new outliers.
  • Automatic division of PNC pollution events aids in understanding pollution characteristics.
  • Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) identified coal heating as a source more distinctly and ran 11-28 times faster than Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF).
  • Traffic remains a dominant source, while coal heating's contribution significantly decreased (40%-86%) due to control measures.

Conclusions:

  • The developed methods enhance the efficiency and accuracy of PNC data analysis.
  • NMF is a superior tool for PNC source apportionment, particularly for identifying coal heating.
  • Air pollution control strategies targeting coal burning have proven effective.
