Abstract

Intensified traffic-related air pollution along major highway corridors in developing countries poses increasing risks to environmental quality and public health. This study investigated air pollutant concentrations from motor vehicles at selected stop-points (Locations A - D) along the Benin–Ore–Sagamu highway in southwestern Nigeria. Continuous monitoring was conducted for gaseous pollutants (CO, CO₂, SO₂), particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), inorganic ions (SO₄²⁻ and NO₃⁻), and trace metals across four locations during wet and dry seasons. Traffic density was assessed through structured manual vehicle counts at each location, with vehicles categorized by type to assess traffic density and flow patterns. Traffic volume assessment identified Location D as the highest traffic hub, with seasonal variations influencing pollutant levels. Measured levels of CO, SO₂, PM2.5, and PM10  showed significant exceedances of WHO, NAAQS, and FMEnv guidelines, while trace metal analysis indicated extreme enrichment of Rh, Pt, Pd, and other metals, predominantly from vehicular emissions. In contrast, Fe, Zn, and Mn were predominantly derived from natural sources. Sulphate and nitrate exhibited strong dry-season correlations (r = 0.991, p < 0.01) and significant spatial variability, with ANOVA confirming the influence of location on concentrations. Wet-season deposition reduced pollutant concentrations, demonstrating the mitigating role of rainfall. The findings provide a seasonally resolved characterization of traffic-induced air pollution and emphasize the urgent need for regulatory enforcement, fuel quality improvement, and traffic management to protect public health along high-density highway corridors.

Abstract

Exhaust gas emission management is a critical aspect of pyrometallurgical nickel smelting because it directly affects energy efficiency, operational safety, and overall process sustainability. This study investigates the influence of calcine carbon content on exhaust gas formation and determines the required cooling air volume in an industrial electric furnace operating at approximately 150 tons per hour. The research is based on deterministic mass and energy balance modelling developed from actual operational data obtained from a nickel smelting facility. The analysis quantifies the relationship between carbon oxidation reactions and off-gas generation during the smelting process. Results reveal a strong linear correlation between increasing calcine carbon content and exhaust gas volume. At an average carbon content of 1.96 %, the furnace produces 47,241 Nm³/h of exhaust gas. Under these operating conditions, a cooling air injection of 9,292 Nm³/h is required to reduce the gas temperature from 1000 °C to 800 °C in order to maintain safe furnace operation. The findings demonstrate that precise control of calcine carbon content and optimised cooling air design are essential for improving operational safety and efficiency in nickel smelting. The developed model provides a quantitative basis for designing safer and more efficient industrial off-gas control systems.

Abstract

Reliable determination of carbon (C) and sulfur (S) in tapping ferronickel is critical for metallurgical quality control and compliance with industrial specifications. Given the complex metallic matrix of ferronickel, verification of analytical performance is essential before routine application. This study verifies the GB/T 20123 standard method for the simultaneous determination of carbon and sulfur in tapping ferronickel using a High Carbon Sulfur (HCS-801) combustion–infrared analyzer. Method performance was assessed using accuracy, precision (repeatability), linearity, limit of detection (LOD), and limit of quantification (LOQ), in accordance with internationally accepted validation principles. Evaluation of recovery testing yielded 97.82 % for carbon and 99.04 % for sulfur, both within acceptable recovery ranges. Precision expressed as %RSD was 1.27% for carbon and 0.70% for sulfur, complying with the Horwitz criterion (% RSD < ½ CV Horwitz) and the general acceptance limit of 2 %. Excellent linearity was obtained across the calibration range, with correlation coefficients (r) of 0.998 for carbon and 0.9984 for sulfur. LOD and LOQ values, calculated based on the standard deviation of response and slope of calibration curves, were 0.0557% and 0.1855% for carbon, and 0.0123 % and 0.0409 % for sulfur, respectively. The results demonstrate that the GB/T 20123 method, when implemented with the HCS-801 analyzer, provides reliable analytical performance for carbon and sulfur determination in tapped ferronickel and is suitable for routine industrial applications.
