草甸棕壤对~(210)Pb(Pb)、~(210)Bi的吸附和pH的影响

根据土壤中几种无机配位体浓度,推算了Pb不同沉淀形式所对应的浓度,并将其与~(210)Pb示踪实验测量值对比,证明土壤中Pb主要是以磷酸盐形式存在。~(210)Bi和Pb共沉淀后被土壤吸附。pH对土壤~(210)Pb(Pb)、~(210)Bi、吸附影响曲线形状相似。土壤Pb和~(210)Bi分别在pH值为5和2.6时解吸。测定了土壤—水系统中~(210)Pb和~(210)Bi的分配系数,分别为(0.5—0.6)×10~3和(0.3—3.0)×10~4。     

崇明东滩不同高程潮间带沉积物中210Po和210Pb的时空特征

210Po和210Pb在海洋环境过程和放射生态学研究中有重要的意义。基于2010年每月采集崇明东滩潮间带表层沉积物,分析其210Po和210Pb活度,结合大气沉降和长江河流输入的210Po和210Pb通量,研究了210Po和210Pb的时、空变化规律及其影响因素。结果表明:表层沉积物平均粒径春夏季接近,且明显低于秋冬季;由北到南,由陆向海,平均粒径均逐渐增大。崇明东滩表层沉积物中210Po和210Pb的比活度介于20.9~124 Bq/kg和26.1~101 Bq/kg,均高于同期徐六泾(长江河流入海节点)悬浮颗粒物中210Po和210Pb相应的值。北、中、南三个断面210Po/210Pb比值的平均值分别为:1.05,1.06和0.97,崇明东滩表层沉积物的主要来源为陆源的河流输送。从空间分布来看,210Po和210Pb的比活度随潮滩高程的降低而逐渐减小的特征,季节特征为在夏季最高,而冬季相对较低。     

土壤水稻系统中210Pb和210Bi的行为及载体Pb的影响

采用~(210)Pb示踪方法,研究了~(210)Pb和~(210)Bi在土壤和水稻中存在的形态.土壤中~(210)Pb主要以可给态存在,占总量的79％—91％.~(210)Bi主要以结合态存在,占总量的80％—98％,随时间增长,可给态~(210)Pb逐渐向结合态转变;结合态~(210)Bi向着可给态方向变化.进入水稻的~(210)Pb和~(210)Bi大部分是自由移动的离子形式,~(210)Pb的结合态<1％;~(210)Bi占40％.~(210)Pb和~(210)Bi性质上的差异表现了土壤对二者吸附力强弱的不同.还讨论了载体Pb对~(210)Pb和~(210)Bi吸附行为的影响.

洞穴上覆土壤层~(210)Pb放射性活度变化特征及其环境意义

土壤210Pb放射性活度变化可以用来指示土壤侵蚀速率变化、计算水土流失速率,但是在其他方面的应用,特别是岩溶环境的应用相对较少。在进行洞穴年轻沉积石笋年代测试过程中,发现目前应用的CIC(恒定初始放射性活度模式)初始活度恒定的假设需要进行验证。通过对广西桂林茅茅头大岩上覆土壤层进行季节采样和210Pb放射性活度、土壤有机质、粒径等分析,发现土壤剖面表层20~30cm内的210Pb放射性活度季节变化明显,可能响应了大气环境、土壤生态环境的变化。但是土壤剖面基底210Pb放射性活度基本保持恒定,说明土壤层厚度大于20~30cm时,土壤层中210 Pb变化对洞穴年轻沉积物表层210Pb活度变化影响不大,洞穴上覆层对洞穴沉积物210Pb放射性活度的影响主要在于土壤有机质和粘粒向下迁移。因此,影响洞穴石笋210Pb放射性活度的关键因素在土壤厚度、土壤中随有机质和粘粒迁移的210 Pb量的变化,进而推广到洞穴年轻沉积物210Pb定年,在土壤层厚度大于20~30cm时,洞穴相对封闭环境下,可以应用CIC模式对洞穴沉积物进行年龄计算。     

Physicochemical and toxicological characteristics of nanoparticles in aerosols in southern Thailand during recent haze episodes in lower southeast Asia

Transboundary haze from biomass burning is one of the most important air pollutions in Southeast Asia. The most recent serious haze episode occurred in 2015. Southern Thailand was affected by the haze during September to October when the particulate matter concentration hit a record high. We investigated physical and chemical characteristics of aerosols, including concentration and aerosol size distribution down to sub-micron sizes during haze episodes in 2013 and 2015 and, for reference, an insignificant haze period in 2017. The highest total suspended particulates and PM₁₀ levels in Hat Yai city were 340.1 and 322.5 µg/m³. The mass fractions were nanoparticles (< 100 nm) 3.1%-14.8% and fine particles (< 1 µm) 54.6%-59.1%. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon size distributions in haze periods peaked at 0.75 µm and the concentrations are 2-30 times higher than the normal period. High molecular weight (4-6 ring) PAHs during the haze episode contribute to about 56.7%-88.0% for nanoparticles. The average values of benzo(a)pyrene toxic equivalency quotient were 3.34±2.54ng/m³ in the 2015 haze period but only 0.89±0.17 ng/m³ in 2017. It is clear that particles smaller than 1 µm, were highly toxic. Nanoparticles contributed 19.4%-26.0% of total BaP-TEQ, whereas the mass fraction is 13.1%-14.8%. Thus the nanoparticles were more carcinogenic and can cause greater health effect than larger particles. The fraction of BaP-TEQ for nanoparticles during 2017 non-haze period was nearly the same, while the mass fraction was lower. This indicates that nanoparticles are the significant source of carcinogenic aerosols both during haze and non-haze periods.     

Releases of phosphate fertilizer industry in the surrounding environment: Investigation on heavy metals and polonium-210 in soil

Distribution of Cu,Zn,Pb,Cr,Ni,Mn concentrations and the activity of polonium-210 in the surrounding area of a phosphate fertilizer industry located on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea has been determined.Nineteen sampling sites were distributed around the industrial zone on a surface area of about 100,000 m2.Atomic absorption spectroscopy and Alpha spectroscopy were used to quantify the heavy elements and polonium-210,respectively.Investigation on a particle scale was conducted by TEM and SEM coupled to EDX and X-ray cartography to determine the nature of heavy elements carriers and their distribution.Heavy elements were mainly concentrated inside the particle size fraction 50 μm.Their levels decreased with distance increasing from the industry.According to the reference soil,enrichment factors were about 10,15,32 and 100 times for Zn,Pb,Cu,and Cr,respectively inside the particle size fraction 50 μm on the closest sites to the industry.The main contaminant sources were transport and storage of row materials and the free release of phosphogypsum waste.Heavy elements were entrapped inside agglomerates of sulfates,phosphates and iron oxihydroxides in a di used shape.Polonium-210 with an enrichment factor of about 56,showed the same behavior of the spatial distribution of the trace elements.

Releases of phosphate fertilizer industry in the surrounding environment: Investigation on heavy metals and polomum-210 in soil

Distribution of Cu,Zn,Pb,Cr,Ni,Mn concentrations and the activity of polonium-210 in the surrounding area of a phosphate fertilizer industry located on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea has been determined.Nineteen sampling sites were distributed around the industrial zone on a surface area of about 100,000 m2.Atomic absorption spectroscopy and Alpha spectroscopy were used to quantify the heavy elements and polonium-210,respectively.Investigation on a particle scale was conducted by TEM and SEM coupled to EDX and X-ray cartography to determine the nature of heavy elements carders and their distribution.Heavy elements were mainly concentrated inside the particle size fraction ＜ 50μm.Their levels decreased with distance increasing from the industry.According to the reference soil,enrichment factors were about 10,15,32 and 100 times for Zn,Pb,Cu,and Cr,respectively inside the particle size fraction ＜ 50 μm on the closest sites to the industry.The main contaminant sources were transport and storage of row materials and the free release of phosphogypsum waste.Heavy elements were entrapped inside agglomerates of sulfates,phosphates and iron oxihydroxides in a diffused shape.Polonium-210 with an enrichment factor of about 56,showed the same behavior of the spatial distribution of the trace elements.     

基于210Pb和137Cs计年法的黄河下游湿地沉积速率研究初探

本文利用²¹⁰Pb和¹³⁷Cs计年方法分析探讨黄河下游湿地沉积速率演化与上游水沙变化的响应关系。结果表明，²¹⁰Pb比活度大致指数衰减趋势以及¹³⁷Cs蓄积峰的鉴出，表明放射性核素手段在黄河下游湿地的沉积学研究具有一定可行性。基于²¹⁰Pb的CIC模式和CRS模式得出的沉积速率分别为1.68 cm/a和0.67~2.76 cm/a；基于¹³⁷Cs剖面的1963年和1986年两个蓄积峰，计算自下而上沉积速率分别为2.67 cm/a、1.08 cm/a和1.21 cm/a。研究发现，近几十年黄河下游湿地沉积速率呈逐渐减小趋势，这与黄河流域气候变化、上游流域建坝、水土保持和下游水资源利用存在密切关系。此外，水库调度方式也在一定程度上影响下游沉积速率，虽然下游淤积量不变，但洪峰的"削平"导致泥沙难以淤积于湿地。     

黄河三角洲及邻近海域沉积物137Cs和210Pbex断代的适用性

¹³⁷Cs和²¹⁰Pb_ex定年是确定近百年来浅层湖泊沉积物年代学框架的首选方法,然而,该方法在河口滩地及邻近海域沉积物断代中的适用性仍然不清。本文以渤海黄河三角洲为研究对象,通过钻孔采集了1929～1990年间四个不同成陆年限的淤成土泥芯,分析了¹³⁷Cs和²¹⁰Pb_ex活度及粒度的深度分布特征;结合已报道的邻近海域水下地形特征、沉积物特性、沉积构造等资料,讨论了黄河口泥沙沉积和三角洲形成的特点,评价了沉积物¹³⁷Cs和²¹⁰Pb_ex断代法在该区域的适用性。结果表明,黄河三角洲是由入海口冲积扇不断向前推进而形成,具有快速且不均匀沉积的特点。20世纪50～70年代大气层核试验产生的放射性同位素¹³⁷Cs是黄河三角洲和邻近海域沉积物断代可靠的示踪物,含¹³⁷Cs的沉积物可被确定为1963年(或1954年)以来的沉积物。²¹⁰Pb_ex是大气持续沉降的天然放射性尘埃,不适用于具有快速且不均匀沉积特点的入海口水下冲积扇沉积物断代;水下冲积扇成陆后,地面继续承接²¹⁰Pb_ex核数沉降,因此,²¹⁰Pb_ex也不适用于黄河陆地三角洲的沉积物断代。泥沙的沉积速率在远离水下冲积扇的海域较低,且经水面沉降至海底的²¹⁰Pb_ex比例较高,沉积物的²¹⁰Pb_ex深度分布曲线形态类似于稳定环境的湖泊、海湾。计算沉积速率的CIC和CRS模型未考虑核素的向下扩散迁移过程,这可能会导致估算的黄河三角洲邻近海域泥沙沉积速率偏大。     

Emissions of 22 elements from brown-coal combustion

The emissions of 22 elements from a large ligniteburning power plant have been measured. The elements S, Na, Zn, Pb, Hg, Cd, and Bi, less well retained by electrostatic precipitation, have been used to prepare a rough estimate of potential emissions from the combustion of 1.1·10⁸ metric tons of brown coal for power production in the Federal Republic of Germany. The amounts of Zn, Pb, Hg, Cd, and Bi emitted are far from negligible. The annual sulfur discharge of 1.6·10⁶ t requires effective control.     

Implications of excess 210Pb and 137Cs in sediment cores from Mikawa Bay, Japan

Four sediment cores were collected from Mikawa Bay, Japan, and excess 210Pb and 137Cs were measured by gamma spectrometry. Sedimentation rates for the four cores were determined by 210Pb method. The sedimentation rate range is 0.10-0.70 g/(cm2·year). The bio-mixing depth for each core is less than 7.0 cm, and was determined by the excess 210Pb profiles as well. Therefore, the bioturbation is slight. The 210Pb-derived dates coincided with the results from 137Cs geochronology. Acceleration in sedimentation ra...     

西藏羊卓雍错沉积物沉积速率的测定

利用~(210)Pb和~(137)Cs测定了西藏羊卓雍错湖泊沉积物的沉积速率。结果表明,羊卓雍错湖心和北部湖区沉积柱中的~(137)Cs都只有一个蓄积峰。假定对应的时标为1963年,据此得出的沉积物累积率分别为0. 014 5 g/(cm~2·a)和0. 025 2g/(cm~2·a),对应的年均沉积速率分别为0. 041 cm/a和0. 068 cm/a;而~(210)Pb的结果显示,羊卓雍错湖心和北部湖区的沉积物累积率分别为0. 014 6 g/(cm~2·a)和0. 014 7 g/(cm~2·a),对应的年均沉积速率分别为0. 040 cm/a和0. 041 cm/a。~(210)Pb和~(137)Cs的定年结果在北部湖区的定年结果差别较大,很可能是由于湖水在北部湖区的渗漏,导致沉积物中Cs的纵向迁移造成的。     

多元统计与铅同位素示踪解析旱地垂直剖面土壤中重金属来源

用电感耦合等离子体质谱仪(ICP-MS)分析了厦门市旱地2个垂直剖面土壤中26种重金属元素的含量,研究了剖面土壤中重金属元素的分布特征,环境风险及污染来源.综合内梅罗综合污染指数法,地质累积指数法和潜在生态危害指数法的评价结果,Cd为厦门市旱地土壤的主要污染因子;土壤重金属污染严重的为50~60 cm深度.多元统计分析结果表明,重金属的主要来源为农业生产活动与自然源,其中主要污染因子Cd来自于农业生产的影响.对垂直剖面土壤的酸可溶相铅同位素组成与厦门市潜在污染源的铅同位素进行对比分析.结果表明,厦门市旱地土壤中,铅主要来源于污泥和土壤母质层.根据剖面土壤在~(206)Pb/~(207)Pb-~(206)Pb/~(204)Pb图中的分布特征,利用铅同位素二元混合模型计算出P180剖面和P181剖面母质层的贡献率的平均值分别为54.36%和42.88%,污泥的贡献率平均值分别为45.64%和57.12%,表明旱地剖面土壤中铅主要来源为母质层和城市污泥,与多元统计分析结果相一致.     

Retention of trace elements in coal-fired flue gas by a novel heterogeneous agglomeration technology

Lead removal from water using organic acrylic amine fiber (AAF) and inorganic-organic P-AAF, fixed bed filtration and surface-induced precipitation

Granular porous sorbents were normally used for heavy metals removal from water. To search for the new commercial sorbent and treatment strategy, an organic acrylic amine fiber (AAF) and phosphorus loading inorganic-organic AAF (P-AAF) were prepared and used for lead (Pb) removal from water. A new strategy of inorganic-organic coupling technology was proposed for Pb removal, based on the hypothesis of surface-induced precipitation mechanism. The AAF showed a Pb adsorption capacity of 417 mg/g from the Langmuir fitting, while the column filtration technology was further applied to measure the adsorption edge and applications. Effects of different initial Pb concentrations, hydraulic retention time, and co-existing P were considered in the filtration experiments. The presence of 0.8 mg/L P in water significantly improved the Pb breakthrough point from 15,000 to 41,000 bed volumes of water spiked with 85 µg/L Pb, while the P-AAF fixed bed showed better removal of Pb than AAF SEM/EDX and XRD spectra were employed for determining the surface functional groups and the formation of surface-induced precipitation of pyromorphite (Pb₅(PO₄)₃OH) on AAF. This study verified the application of AAF sorbent for Pb removal and the enhanced effect of coating P on AAF, thus improved our fundamental understanding and application of the surface chemistry process of Pb with P.     

Identification of sources of lead in the atmosphere by chemical speciation using X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy

Sources of Pb pollution in the local atmosphere together with Pb species, major ions, and heavy metal concentrations in a size-fractionated aerosol sample from Higashi-Hiroshima(Japan) have been determined by X-ray absorption near-edge structure(XANES) spectroscopy, ion chromatography, and ICP-MS/AES, respectively. About 80% of total Pb was concentrated in fine aerosol particles. Lead species in the coarse aerosol particles were PbC2O4, 2PbCO3·Pb(OH)2, and Pb(NO3)2, whereas Pb species in the fine aerosol particles were PbC2O4, PbSO4, and Pb(NO3)2. Chemical speciation and abundance data suggested that the source of Pb in the fine aerosol particles was different from that of the coarse ones. The dominant sources of Pb in the fine aerosol particles were judged to be fly ash from a municipal solid waste incinerator and heavy oil combustion. For the coarse aerosol particles, road dust was considered to be the main Pb source. In addition to Pb species, elemental concentrations in the aerosols were also determined. The results suggested that Pb species in size-fractionated aerosols can be used to identify the origin of aerosol particles in the atmosphere as an alternative to Pb isotope ratio measurement.     

Reduction and characterization of bioaerosols in a wastewater treatment station via ventilation

Bioaerosols from wastewater treatment processes are a significant subgroup of atmospheric aerosols. In the present study,airborne microorganisms generated from a wastewater treatment station(WWTS) that uses an oxidation ditch process were diminished by ventilation.Conventional sampling and detection methods combined with cloning/sequencing techniques were applied to determine the groups,concentrations,size distributions,and species diversity of airborne microorganisms before and after ventilation. There were 3021 ± 537 CFU/m3 of airborne bacteria and 926 ± 132 CFU/m3 of airborne fungi present in the WWTS bioaerosol.Results showed that the ventilation reduced airborne microorganisms significantly compared to the air in the WWTS. Over 60% of airborne bacteria and airborne fungi could be reduced after4 hr of air exchange. The highest removal(92.1% for airborne bacteria and 89.1% for fungi) was achieved for 0.65–1.1 μm sized particles. The bioaerosol particles over 4.7 μm were also reduced effectively. Large particles tended to be lost by gravitational settling and small particles were generally carried away,which led to the relatively easy reduction of bioaerosol particles0.65–1.1 μm and over 4.7 μm in size. An obvious variation occurred in the structure of the bacterial communities when ventilation was applied to control the airborne microorganisms in enclosed spaces.     

长江口大气重金属污染特征及沉降通量

于2009年8月与2010年5月在长江口青草沙水库及长兴岛采集了大气颗粒物样品,测定了Zn、Pb、Cr、Cu等重金属元素的浓度,并初步估算了大气气溶胶中这些重金属在长江口的干沉降通量.结果表明:长江口PM10的平均浓度在109~197μg/m3,重金属元素浓度水平由高到低为Zn>Cr>Mn>Cu>Ti>Ni>Pb>V,其中Zn、Cr、Mn、Cu、Ni、Pb存在明显的元素富集,浓度分别达到297, 241, 186, 181, 52, 32ng/m3,而相应的日平均干沉降通量分别为0.14, 0.09, 0.08, 0.08, 0.02, 0.02mg/(m2·d).通过与长江口水库重金属浓度对比,大气干沉降的总Cu约占水体中总Cu浓度的25%左右,大气沉降可能是长江口水中重金属的重要来源之一.
