The Thirumanimuttar sub-basin forms an important groundwater province in south India, facing serious deficiency in both quality
and quantity of groundwater due to increased demand associated with rapid population explosion, agricultural growth and industrial
activities. A total of 194 groundwater samples were collected and 15 water quality parameters were analyzed using standard
procedures. Na + , Cl − , Ca2 + , HCO3-_{3}^{-}, Mg2 + and SO42-_{4}^{2-} concentration ions are more dominant in both seasons. The total dissolved solids and electrical conductivity was observed
good correlation with Na + , Cl − , HCO3-_{3}^{-}, Ca2 + , Mg2 + , Cl − , PO43-_{4}^{3-} and NO3- _{3}^{- } ions indicating dominance of plagioclase feldspar weathering, anthropogenic input and over drafting of groundwater irrespective
of seasons. The Hill–Piper diagram indicates alkaline earths exceed the alkalis, an increase of weak acids was noted during
both the seasons. For assessing the groundwater for irrigation suitability parameters like total hardness, sodium adsorption
ratio, residual sodium carbonate (RSC), permeability index, and sodium percentage are also calculated. Permanent hardness
was noted in higher during both the seasons due to discharge of untreated effluents and ion exchange process. The RSC indicates
56% of the samples are not suitable for irrigation purposes in both seasons, if continuously used will affect the crop yield.
From the results, nearly 72% of the samples are not suitable for irrigation. 相似文献

The fertigation effect of distillery effluents concentrations such as 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% were studied on Trigonella foenu-graecu (Pusa early bunching) along with control (bore well water). On irrigation of soil with different effluents up to 90 days
of harvesting, it was observed that there was a significant effect on moisture content (P < 0.001), EC, pH, Cl − , total organic carbon (TOC), HCO3-_{3}^{-}, CO3-2_{3}^{-2}, Na + , K + , Ca2 + , Mg2 + , Fe2 + , TKN, NO32-_{3}^{2-}, PO43-_{4}^{3-}, and SO42-_{4}^{2-} (P < 0.0001) and insignificant effect on WHC and bulk density (P > 0.05).There was no significant change in the soil texture
of the soil. Among various concentrations of effluent irrigation, the irrigation with 100% effluent concentration decreased
pH (16.66%) and increased moisture content (30.82%), EC(84.13%), Cl − (292.37%), TOC (4311.61%), HCO3-_{3}^{-} (27.76%), CO3-2_{3}^{-2} (32.63%), Na + (273%), K + (31.59%), Ca2 + (729.76%), Mg2 + (740.47%), TKN (1723.32%), NO32-_{3}^{2-} (98.02%), PO43-_{4}^{3-} (337.79%), and SO42-_{4}^{2-} (77.78%), Fe2 + (359.91%), Zn (980.48%), Cu (451.51%), Cd (3033.33%), Pb (2350.00%), and Cr (2375.00%) in the soil. The agronomical parameters
such as shoot length, root length, number of leaves, flowers, pods, dry weight, chlorophyll content, LAI, crop yield, and
HI of T. foenum-graecum were recorded to be in increasing order at low concentration of the effluent, i.e., from 5% to 50% and in decreasing order
at higher effluent concentration, i.e., from 75% to 100% as compared to control. The enrichment factor of various heavy metals
was ordered for soil Cd>Cr> Pb>Zn>Cu>Fe and for T. foenum-graecum plants Pb>Cr>Cd>Cu>Zn>Fe after irrigation with distillery effluent. 相似文献

The main purpose of this paper was to carry out a source apportionment of suspended particulate matter (SPM) samples using
positive matrix factorization procedure. The central and local Government of Japan introduced strict emission regulations
in 2002/10 and 2003/10, respectively, in curbing SPM pollution from major metropolitans. This paper also highlighted the impact
of the measures taken by the central and local Government of Japan on the reduction of SPM and the contributions of sources.
SPM samples were collected for 6 years starting from 1999 to 2005 at two sites, i.e., site A (urban) and site B (suburban)
of Yokohama, Japan. Microwave digestion and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) were employed to measure
Mg, Al, Ca, V, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, As, Se, Rb, Sr, Ag, Cd, Cs, Ba, Pb and Bi, while water soluble ions (Na + , NH4 +_{4}^{\ \,+}, K + , Ca2 + , Mg2 + , Cl − , NO3 -_{3}^{\ \,-} and SO4 2-)_{4}^{\ \,2-}) as well as carbonaceous mass (EC and OC) were analyzed using ion chromatograph and CHN analyzer, respectively. The sources
identified at two sites were automobile, soil dust, marine aerosol, mixed sources, and secondarily formed aerosol. Also, source
quantification was performed. Automobile and soil dust were striking contributors at site A. Automobile and soil dust of SPM
aerosol might be produced from local origin at current study areas. Besides, Asian dust had an impact on high concentrations
of SPM aerosol in some certain period of the year due to the outflows of East Asian emission. In contrast, secondary aerosol
in the form of sulfate and ammonium as well as mixed sources (coal, long-transported Cs, and other unknown sources) were remarkable
at site B. Stationary/industrial combustion has apparently more impact on the release of SPM components at site B than A.
Automobile regulations in 2002 and 2003, respectively, resulted in reduction of SPM by 28% for site A and 16% for site B.
There was also net reduction of automobile contribution at both sites due to the above measures being implemented. 相似文献

Spatial and seasonal distribution of nitrogen in marsh soils of a typical floodplain wetland in Northeast China 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Bai J Wang Q Deng W Gao H Tao W Xiao R 《Environmental monitoring and assessment》2012,184(3):1253-1263
Horizontal and profile distributions of nitrogen in marsh soils in different seasons were studied in a typical site within
the Erbaifangzi wetland in Northeast China. Results showed that there was higher spatial heterogeneity for nitrate nitrogen
(NO3--_{3}^{-}-N) and ammonium nitrogen (NH4+_{4}^{+}–N), as well as available nitrogen (AN), in surface soils in July compared to that in September. Relative to July, the mean
nitrogen contents in surface soils were slightly higher in September; however, in November, soils contained significantly
lower NO3--_{3}^{-}-N and NH4+_{4}^{+}–N, higher AN, organic nitrogen (Org-N), and total nitrogen (TN). Except for mineral nitrogen, no significant differences
were observed between Org-N and TN contents in September and November. Nitrogen contents generally declined exponentially
with depth along soil profiles in three sampling dates (July, September, and November), except for a significant accumulation
peak of NO3--_{3}^{-}-N at the 20–30 cm depth in September. However, NH4+_{4}^{+}–N contents showed a vertical alternation of “increasing and decreasing” in both July and September, while nearly kept constant
with depth in November. The depth ranking of nitrogen showed the shallowest distribution for AN, followed by Org-N and TN,
while deeper distributions for NO3--_{3}^{-}-N and NH4+_{4}^{+}–N. TN, Org-N, and AN were significantly correlated with soil organic matter and total phosphorus. Soil pH values were significantly
correlated with TN and AN contents in surface soils. Clay contents showed significant correlations with nitrogen contents
except for NO3--_{3}^{-}-N in surface soils and NH4+_{4}^{+}–N in profile soils. However, soil moisture was not significantly correlated with nitrogen contents among all soil samples. 相似文献

Characterizing hydrochemical properties of springs in Taiwan based on their geological origins 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This study was performed to characterize hydrochemical properties of springs based on their geological origins in Taiwan.
Stepwise discriminant analysis (DA) was used to establish a linear classification model of springs using hydrochemical parameters.
Two hydrochemical datasets—ion concentrations and relative proportions of equivalents per liter of major ions—were included
to perform prediction of the geological origins of springs. Analyzed results reveal that DA using relative proportions of
equivalents per liter of major ions yields a 95.6% right assignation, which is superior to DA using ion concentrations. This
result indicates that relative proportions of equivalents of major hydrochemical parameters in spring water are more highly
associated with the geological origins than ion concentrations do. Low percentages of Na + equivalents are common properties of springs emerging from acid-sulfate and neutral-sulfate igneous rock. Springs emerging
from metamorphic rock show low percentages of Cl − equivalents and high percentages of HCO3-_{3}^{-} equivalents, and springs emerging from sedimentary rock exhibit high Cl − /SO42-_{4}^{2-} ratios. 相似文献

When agricultural lands are no longer used for agriculture and allowed to recover its natural vegetation, soil organic carbon
can accumulate in the soil. Measurements of soil organic carbon and aggregate stability changes under various forms of land
use are needed for the development of sustainable systems. Therefore, comparison of soil samples taken from both agricultural
and nearby area close to land-mined fields where no agricultural practices have been done since 1956 can be a good approach
to evaluate the effects of tillage and agriculture on soil quality. The objective of this study was to compare tillage, cropping
and no tillage effects on some soil-quality parameters. Four different locations along the Turkey–Syria border were selected
to determine effects of tillage and cropping on soil quality. Each location was evaluated separately because of different
soil type and treatments. Comparisons were made between non-tilled and non-cropped fallow since 1956 and adjacent restricted
lands that were tilled about every 2 years but not planted (T) or adjacent lands tilled and planted with wheat and lentil
(P). Three samples were taken from the depths of 0–20 and 20–40 cm each site. Soil organic carbon (SOC), pH ,electrical conductivity,
water soluble Ca++, Mg++, CO3-2{\rm CO}_{3}^{-2} and HCO3-{\rm HCO}_{3}^{-}, extractable potassium (K+) and sodium (Na+), soil texture, ammonium (NH4+{\rm NH}_{4}^{+}–N) and nitrate (NO3–N), extractable phosphorous and soil aggregate stability were determined. While the SOC contents of continuous tillage without
cropping and continuous tillage and cropping were 2.2 and 11.6 g kg−1, respectively, it was 30 g kg−1 in non-tilled and non-planted site. Tillage of soil without the input of any plant material resulted in loss of carbon from
the soil in all sites. Soil extractable NO3−N contents of non-tilled and non-cropped sites were greatest among all treatments. Agricultural practices increased phosphorus
and potassium contents in the soil profile. P2O5 contents of planted soils were approximately 20 to 39 times greater than those of non-tilled and non-cropped soils at different
sites. FTIR spectra showed that never tilled sites had greater phenol, carboxylic acid, amide, aromatic compounds, polysaccharide
and carbohydrates than other treatments. 相似文献

Factors controlling the salinity in groundwater in parts of Guntur district, Andhra Pradesh, India 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Subba Rao N 《Environmental monitoring and assessment》2008,138(1-3):327-341
Groundwater chemistry has been studied to examine the associated hydrogeochemical processes operating for the development
of salinity in the groundwater in parts of Guntur district, Andhra Pradesh, India. The study area is underlain by charnockites
and granitic gneisses associated with schists of the Precambrian Eastern Ghats. Groundwater is the main resource for irrigation
besides drinking. Chemical parameters, pH, EC, TDS, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, , , Cl−, , , F− and SiO2, are taken into account. Groundwater is of brackish type. Na+−Cl− facies dominates the groundwater. Examination of compositional relations and mineral saturation states shows that the ion
exchange of Ca2+ for adsorbed Na+, evapotranspiration, dissolution of soil salts, dissolution of NaCl and CaSO4, and precipitation of CaCO3 are the dominant hydrogeochemical processes associated with the groundwater composition in the area. Evapotranspiration causes
accumulation of salts in the soil/weathered zone. These salts reach the water table by leaching through infiltrating recharge
water. A positive relation between depth to water table and TDS with season supports this inference. The effects of human
activities, such as intensive and long-term irrigation, irrigation-return-flow, application of unlimited agricultural fertilizers
and recycling of saline groundwater, act to further increase the salinity in the groundwater. Therefore, the groundwater quality
increases towards the flow path, while the post-monsoon groundwater shows higher concentrations of TDS, Na+, Mg2+, Cl−, , , F− and SiO2 ions. The study could help to understand the hydrogeochemical characteristics of the aquifer system for taking effective
management measures to mitigate the inferior groundwater quality for sustainable development. 相似文献

The southwestern coast of India is drained by many small rivers with lengths less than 250 km and catchment areas less than
6,500 km2. These rivers are perennial and are also the major drinking water sources in the region. But, the fast pace of urbanization,
industrialization, fertilizer intensive agricultural activities and rise in pilgrim tourism in the past four to five decades
have imposed marked changes in water quality and solute fluxes of many of these rivers. The problems have aggravated further
due to leaching of ionic constituents from the organic-rich (peaty) impervious sub-surface layers that are exposed due to
channel incision resulting from indiscriminate instream mining for construction-grade sand and gravel. In this context, an
attempt has been made here to evaluate the water quality and the net nutrient flux of one of the important rivers in the southwestern
coast of India, the Manimala river which has a length of about 90 km and catchment area of 847 km2. The river exhibits seasonal variation in most of the water quality parameters (pH, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen,
total dissolved solids, Ca, Mg, Na, K, Fe, HCO3, NO2-N, NO3-N, P
\text-inorg_{\rm \text{-}inorg}, P
\text-tot_{\rm \text{-}tot}, chloride, SO4, and SiO2). Except for NO3-N and SiO2, all the other parameters are generally enriched in non-monsoon (December–May) samples than that of monsoon (June–November).
The flux estimation reveals that the Manimala river transports an amount of 2,308 t y − 1 of dissolved inorganic nitrogen, 87 t y − 1 dissolved inorganic phosphorus, and 9246 t y − 1 of SO4, and 1984 t y − 1 K into the receiving coastal waters. These together constitute about 23% of the total dissolved fluxes transported by the
Manimala river. Based on the study, a set of mitigation measures are also suggested to improve the overall water quality of
small catchment rivers of the densely populated tropics in general and the south western coast in particular. 相似文献

The chemical composition of 59 well water samples throughout the Alisadr area, Hamadan, western Iran was determined in order to describe the background ion concentration and to identify the major hydrogeochemical processes that control the observed groundwater chemistry. The hydrochemical types, Ca–HCO3, Ca–SO4, dominate the largest part of the groundwater followed by water types Ca–Cl and Mg–HCO3. Total hardness indicated that 30% of groundwater samples fell in the very hard water category. Ninety-seven percent of the water samples showed nitrate ( ${\rm NO}_{3}^{-})$ concentrations above the human affected value (13 mg l???1 ${\rm NO}_{3}^{-})$ , while 15% exceeded the maximum acceptable level (50 mg l???1 ${\rm NO}_{3}^{-})$ according to WHO regulations. With respect to sodium adsorption ratio, the groundwater can be used for irrigation on almost all soils with little danger of the developing harmful levels of exchangeable Na?+?. But with respect to electrical conductivity, the water quality for irrigation was low to medium, providing the necessary drainage to avoid the buildup of toxic salt concentrations. Geochemical modeling using PHREEQC enabled prediction of the saturation state of minerals and indicated the dissolution and precipitation reactions occurring in the groundwater. Groundwaters were undersaturated with respect to amorphous silica. Stability diagram indicated that the dominant cluster of groundwater samples fell into the K-feldspar field. 相似文献

In this study, the chemical composition of the rainwater in Yatağan, which is a region surrounding a coal power plant was
investigated from February to April 2002. Rainwater samples were obtained from Yatağan, located northwest of Muğla City in
Turkey. pH values and concentrations of major ions (Ca2+, Na+, K+, , , ) in the rainwater samples were analyzed. The pH varied from 5.1 to 7.9 with an average of 6.7 which was in alkaline range
considering 5.6 as the neutral pH of cloud water in equilibrium with atmospheric CO2. In the total of 30 rain events, only three events were observed with water in the acidic range (<5.6), which occurred after
continuous rains. The equivalent concentration of components followed the order: Ca2+ > > Na+ > > > K+ > H+. The anion and cation concentrations in the rainwater samples showed a high sulphate concentration (131 μEq/l), as well as
high sodium (40 μEq/l) and calcium (298 μEq/l) concentrations. These values indicate that one probable source of the high
sodium concentration is fly ash, after the coal burning process and the power plant can be effective on level concentrations in rainwater. In addition, the dust-rich local and surrounding limestone environment might have caused the
high concentration of Ca2+ in rainwater of the Yatağan Basin. Due to a large contribution of these cations to the sulphate neutralization action, the
rainwater of this region displays only a moderate acidity, which does not cause significant environmental impact. 相似文献

The information on bacterial community composition (BCC) in Portuguese water bodies is very scarce. Cértima River (central
western Portugal) is known to have high levels of pollution, namely organic. In the present work, the BCC from a set of 16
water samples collected from Cértima River Basin and its main tributaries was characterized using 16S rDNA–denaturing gradient
gel electrophoresis, a culture-independent molecular approach. Molecular data were related to environmental parameters through
multivariate analysis to investigate potential impact of water pollution along the river. Principal component analysis using
environmental data showed a water quality gradient from more pristine waters (at the mountain tributaries) to waters with
increasingly eutrophic potential (such as Fermentelos Lake). This gradient was mainly defined by factors such as organic and
inorganic nutrient sources, electrical conductivity, hydrogen carbonate concentration, and pH. Molecular results showed variations
in BCC along Cértima River Basin but in the main river section, a Bacteroidetes phylotype (Flavobacterium sp.) proved to be dominant throughout the river course. Multivariate analysis suggests that spatial variation of BCC along
the Cértima River Basin depended mainly on parameters such as Chl a, total suspended solid (TSS), total organic carbon, electrical conductivity, and HCO
_boxclose^-_{3}^{-} levels. Bacteroidetes phylotypes were all related to higher electrical conductivity and HCO3-_{3}^{-} levels although some of these were also correlated with high SO42-_{4}^{2-} and others with high soluble reactive phosphorus, nitrate, TN, and Kjeld-N levels. The Gammaproteobacteria occurrence was correlated with high SO42-_{4}^{2-} levels. One of the Betaproteobacteria phylotypes showed to correlate with low redox potential (Eh) and high temperature, pH, TSS, and Chl a levels while another one showed a negative correlation with Chl a values. 相似文献

Accumulation and tolerance characteristics of cadmium in Chlorophytum comosum: a popular ornamental plant and potential Cd hyperaccumulator 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The effects on the growth, physiological indexes and the cadmium (Cd) accumulation in Chlorophytum comosum under Cd stress were examined by pot-planting. The results showed that the tolerance index (TI) of C. comosum were all above 100 in soil Cd concentration of 100 mg kg − 1. The O2·-_{2^{\bullet}}^{-} production rate and electrical conductivity of C. comosum were significantly positively correlated to Cd adding-concentration while the MDA content increased and had significant differences
with the control. The activities of SOD, CAT, and POD all rose significantly in lower Cd concentration and the Cd threshold
of them were around 10, 50 and 20 mg kg − 1, respectively. The Cd in C. comosum root and aboveground part reached 1,522 and 865·5 mg kg − 1, respectively, in Cd concentration of soil up to 200 mg kg − 1. For the advantages of high tolerance, high accumulation, and high ornamental value, C. comosum may have tremendous application value in the treatment of Cd-contaminated soils. 相似文献

Atmospheric concentrations of nitric acid (HNO3), sulfur dioxide (SO2), particulate nitrate and particulate sulfate on the urban- and mountain-facing sides of Mt. Gokurakuji were measured from November 2002 to October 2003, in order to evaluate
the effects of anthropogenic activity on air quality and dry deposited nitrate and sulfate on the surfaces of pine foliage.
The results showed that HNO3, SO2 and concentrations were significantly higher (P < 0.05) on the urban-facing side (1.54, 2.48 and 0.65 μg m−3, respectively) than the mountain-facing side (0.67, 1.19 and 0.37 μg m−3, respectively), while concentrations did not differ significantly between the two sides (urban-facing: 2.80 μg m−3; mountain−facing: 2.05 μg m−3). Indirect estimates of dry deposition rates of nitrate and sulfate to the surfaces of pine foliage based on the measured
concentrations approximately agreed with the measured values determined by the foliar rinsing technique in a previous study.
It was found that HNO3 was the major source (approximately 80%) of dry deposited nitrate on pine foliage, while the contribution from was about equal to that from SO2. In conclusion, HNO3 and SO2 appear to be dominant species reflecting higher dry deposition rates of nitrate and sulfate on the urban-facing side compared
to the mountain-facing side of Mt. Gokurakuji. 相似文献

In four basins of Gilan province, groundwater samples were collected from 127 piezometric wells to investigate the hydrogeochemistry of groundwater, and additionally its suitability for drinking and irrigation purposes. The average concentrations of major cations and anions follow the order of Ca2+?>?Na+?>?Mg2+?>?K+ and \( {\mathrm{HCO}}_3^{-}>{\mathrm{Cl}}^{-}>{\mathrm{SO}}_4^{2-}>{\mathrm{CO}}_3^{2-} \), respectively. Using Piper diagram delineation, CaMgHCO3 was determined as the main hydrogeochemical facies of groundwater. According to Piper diagrams, Gibbs plots, and ionic ratios, silicate weathering and ion exchange are the major processes regulating the groundwater hydrochemistry. Furthermore, saturation indices (SIs) revealed that carbonate precipitation also plays an important role in aquifers. Among the processes, weathering of silicate minerals seems to be the dominant process. Comparing the analyzed major ions and physicochemical parameters with the WHO guideline values indicates that the potability of most groundwater samples is generally acceptable. Electrical conductivity (EC) and total dissolved solid (TDS) measurements along with sodium percentage (SP), sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), Kelley’s index (KI), and residual sodium carbonate (RSC) calculations suggest that groundwater in many areas is suitable for irrigation use. Nonetheless, total hardness (TH) values ranging as high as 650.0 mg/l reveal many groundwater samples to be classified as hard and very hard, indicating a requirement for long-term monitoring and further evaluation. The present study shows that the groundwater quality in Lahijan, Astaneh, and to a lesser extent Fouman drainage basins is lower than in Talesh. Therefore, intense monitoring programs towards enhanced water management practices are recommended before poorer quality groundwater is further utilized. 相似文献

Rain water samples were collected to study the chemical composition of wet atmospheric precipitation (first event) over the
Lucknow city in the northern Indo-gangetic alluvial plains. The samples were collected in the month of July, 2005 from different
sites. The wet precipitation samples were analyzed for pH, EC, major ions (, Cl−, , , , F−, Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, ) and heavy metals (As, Cd, Al, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Hg, Pb, Se, Sn, Ti, V, Zn). The pH values of wet precipitation
samples ranged between 6.5 and 8.7. The analysis of linear regression applied to the set of studied variables and computation
of neutralization factors showed that neutralization occurred in precipitation samples and Ca2+ had the maximum neutralization capacity. It was found that Cl−, , Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+ and K+ in the precipitation samples originated mainly from crustal/anthropogenic sources in the region. On an average Fe, and Al
accounted for >72% of the total concentration of trace metals in the wet precipitation samples followed by Zn (>10%). Enrichment
factors calculated for heavy metals over reference background level in seawater and Earth’s crust showed relatively higher
enrichment of Zn. The principal component analysis (PCA) identified the possible sources of ionic species and heavy metals
in the wet precipitation samples. 相似文献

Hydrogeochemical characterization of fluoride rich groundwater of Wailpalli watershed, Nalgonda District, Andhra Pradesh, India 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A. G. S. Reddy D. V. Reddy P. N. Rao K. Maruthy Prasad 《Environmental monitoring and assessment》2010,171(1-4):561-577
The groundwater of Nalgonda district is well known for its very high fluoride content for the past five decades. Many researchers have contributed their scientific knowledge to unravel causes for fluoride enrichment of groundwater. In the present paper, an attempt has been made to relate the high fluoride content in the groundwater to hydrogeochemical characterization of the water in a fracture hard rock terrain—the Wailpally watershed. Groundwater samples collected from all the major geomorphic units in pre- and post-monsoon seasons were analyzed for its major ion constituents such as Ca2?+?, Mg2?+?, Na?+?, K?+?, CO $_{3}^{-}$ , HCO $_{3}^{-}$ , Cl???, SO $_{4}^{-2}$ , NO $_{3}^{-}$ , and F???. The groundwaters in the watershed have the average fluoride content of 2.79 mg/l in pre-monsoon and 2.83 mg/l in post-monsoon. Fluoride concentration in groundwater does not show perceptible change neither with time nor in space. The ionic dominance pattern is in the order of Na?+? > Ca2?+??> Mg2?+??> K??? among cations and HCO $_{3}^{-}\:\,>$ Cl????> SO $_{4}^{-2} >$ NO $_{3}^{-} >$ F??? among anions in pre-monsoon. In post-monsoon, Mg replaces Ca2?+? and NO $_{3}^{-}$ takes the place of SO $_{4}^{-2}$ . The Modified Piper diagram reflect that the water belong to Ca?+?2–Mg?+?2–HCO $_{3}^{-}$ to Na?+?–HCO $_{3}^{-}$ facies. Negative chloralkali indices in both the seasons prove that ion exchange between Na?+? and K?+? in aquatic solution took place with Ca?+?2 and Mg?+?2 of host rock. The interpretation of plots for different major ions and molar ratios suggest that weathering of silicate rocks and water–rock interaction is responsible for major ion chemistry of groundwater in Wailpally watershed. Chemical characteristics and evolution of this fluoride-contaminated groundwater is akin to normal waters of other hard rock terrain; hence, it can be concluded that aquifer material play an important role in the contribution of fluoride in to the accompanying water. High fluoride content in groundwater can be attributed to the continuous water–rock interaction during the process of percolation with fluorite-bearing country rocks under arid, low precipitation, and high evapotranspiration conditions. 相似文献

Hydrogeochemical characterization of contaminated groundwater in Patancheru industrial area,southern India 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The groundwater is one of the most contaminated natural resources in Patancheru industrial area due to unplanned and haphazard
industrial growth and urbanization without following basic pollution control norms. The rapid industrialization initiated
in early 1970 has started showing up its after effects few years later in the form of physiochemical contamination of the
both surface and groundwater bodies of the area. It has resulted in local people being deprived of safe drinking water, plant
and aquatic life has severely affected, and situation is deteriorating over the years in the area in spite of some preventive
and remedial measures being initiated. The focus of the present study is to understand the chemical characteristics of groundwater
and geochemical processes the contaminant water is undergoing which are normally imprinted in its ionic assemblages. The water
samples collected in pre- and post-monsoon seasons from forty two groundwater and four surface water sources were analyzed
for major constituents such as Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, CO3−, HCO3−, Cl−, SO42−, NO3−, and F−, and selected samples were tested for ten important trace metals like Fe, Pb, Bi, Mn, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, and Cd. Na+ among cations and Cl− among anions dominate the water in both the seasons where as Ca2+, HCO3−, and Cl− show significant reduction in their ionic strength in post-monsoon. The groundwater in general is of mixed type, but most
of it belong to Na+–Cl−, Na+–HCO3−, Ca2+–Mg2+–HCO3−, and Ca2+–Mg2+–Cl− facies. The Na+ and Ca2+ are in the transitional state with Na+ replacing Ca2+ and HCO3−–Cl− due to physiochemical changes in the aquifer system. The evaluation of hydrochemistry through various ionic indices, ratios,
and plots suggest that silicate–carbonate weathering, ion exchange, dissolution, and evaporation processes are responsible
for origin of the present chemical status of the groundwater which is also controlled by the contamination from extraneous
sources that could have accelerated the dissolution processes. Gibbs plots authenticate that the evolution of water chemistry
is influenced by interaction of percolating water with aquifer matrix apart from anthropogenic enrichment of elements which
get over concentrated due to evaporation. 相似文献

The inorganic chemical species in Maresh and Luda Yana rivers affected by the Cu– Mo Asarel-Medet mine, Bulgaria were determined during a low-flow and a high-flow period. The mining activities, the weathering and the oxidation processes strongly influenced the physicochemical processes in the whole water system. The main pollution source was a small lake receiving the acid effluents of the mining activities. High levels of SO4 2???, Cu, Mg, Al, Mn and Fe were determined at the mining polluted and affected stations. Cu2?+? and CuCO3 0 species (1:1) were present in the reference waters and Cu2?+? and CuSO4 0 species (1:1) in the polluted and affected waters; Cu2?+? species was dominating downstream. Me2?+? followed by $\rm{MeSO}_{4}^{\kern3pt{0}}$ (Me = Mn, Zn, Cd and Pb), $\rm{PbCO}_{3}^{\kern3pt{0}}$ and $\rm{PbHCO}_{3}^{\kern3pt{+}}$ species as well as $\rm{Fe(OH)}_{2}^{\kern3pt{+}}$ , $\rm{Al(OH)}_{4}^{\kern3pt{-}}$ , $\rm{Al(OH)}_{2}^{\kern3pt{+}}$ , $\rm{Al(OH)}_{3}^{\kern3pt{0}}$ were prevailing in the system. $\rm{MeSO}_{4}^{\kern3pt{+}}$ and $\rm{Me(SO}_{4})_{2}^{\kern3pt{-}}$ (Me = Fe, Al), $\rm{Me(SO}_{4})_{2}^{\kern3pt{2-}}$ (Me = Zn, Cd and Pb), $\rm{Me(SO}_{4})_{3}^{\kern3pt{4-}}$ (Me = Zn, Cd) and $\rm{Cd(SO}_{4})_{4}^{\kern3pt{6-}}$ species polluted and affected waters. The major elements K and Na were mainly Me?+? species, whereas Ca and Mg were Me2?+? and $\rm{MeSO}_{4}^{\kern3pt{0}}$ species in different ratios. The concentration of concentration of $\rm{NO}_{2}^{\kern3pt{-}}$ , $\rm{NO}_{3}^{\kern3pt{-}}$ and $\rm{NH}_{4}^{\kern3pt{+}}$ species as well as complex phosphorous species such as H2 $\rm{PO}_{4}^{\kern3pt{-}}$ , $\rm{FeHPO}_{4}^{\kern3pt{+}}$ , $\rm{HPO}_{4}^{\kern4pt{2-}}$ , $\rm{CaPO}_{4}^{\kern3pt{-}}$ , $\rm{CaHPO}_{4}^{\kern3pt{0}}$ and $\rm{MgHPO}_{4}^{\kern3pt{0}}$ were also calculated. The trace element concentrations decreased downstream due to dilution, sorption processes and precipitation, but the percentage of free metal species, which are more toxic, increased. An exception was iron and aluminum of which the dominant hydroxy colloidal and sulphate species were easily incorporated into the suspended phase. 相似文献

Groundwater is almost globally important for human consumption as well as for the support of habitat and for maintaining the quality of base flow to rivers, while its quality assessment is essential to ensure sustainable safe use of the resources for drinking, agricultural, and industrial purposes. In the current study, 28 groundwater samples were collected around Vrishabhavathi valley region of Bangalore South Taluk to assess water quality and investigate hydrochemical nature by analyzing the major cations (Ca2?+?, Mg2?+?, Na?+?, K?+?) and anions $(\text{HCO}_{3}^{-}$ , Cl???, F???, $\text{SO}_{4}^{2-}$ , $\text{NO}_{3}^{-}$ , $\text{PO}_{4}^{3-}$ , $\text{CO}_{3}^{2-})$ besides some physical and chemical parameters (pH, electrical conductivity, alkalinity, and total hardness). Also, geographic information system-based groundwater quality mapping in the form of visually communicating contour maps was developed to delineate spatial variation in physico-chemical characteristics of groundwater samples. Piper trilinear diagram was constructed to identify groundwater groups (hydrochemical facies) using major anionic and cationic concentration and it was found that majority of the samples belongs to $\text{Ca}^{2+}-\text{Mg}^{2+}-\text{Cl}^{-}-\text{SO}_{4}^{2-}$ and $\text{Ca}^{2+}-\text{Mg}^{2+}-\text{HCO}_{3}^{-}$ hydrochemical facies. Wilcox classification and US Salinity Laboratory hazard diagram suggests that 92.86% of the samples were falling under good to permissible category and C3–S1 groups, respectively, indicating high salinity/low sodium. 相似文献

Leaching of nitrogen, phosphorus, TOC and COD from the biosolids of the municipal wastewater treatment plant of Thessaloniki 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Biosolids from the WWTP of Thessaloniki were examined for the leaching of phosphorus (as ), nitrogen (as and ), and organic matter (as TOC and COD), using two tests: (1) a pH static leaching test and (2) a characterization test, relating
contaminant release to the liquid to solid (L/S) ratio. Moreover, a Microtox toxicity test was conducted, to examine the pH
dependency of the toxicity of the sludge leachate on the Vibrio fischeri bacterium. Maximum phosphorus release was observed at pH < 3 and at pH > 10. Ammonium nitrogen exhibited maximum leachability
at near neutral pH conditions, while nitrate nitrogen exhibited a mild increase in the leachate, as the leachant pH increased
from 2 to 12. Both TOC and COD exhibited an increase in the leachate concentration, as the leachant pH was increased from
2 to 12. Ecotoxicological analysis showed that maximum toxicity occurred at very low and very high pH-conditions. As liquid-to-solid
ratio increased, the leachate concentration (in mg/l) of all parameters studied decreased. The results of the study were used
to conduct a release assessment estimate for the case of Thessaloniki. 相似文献
