Lead redistribution in a mine soil treated with three manures and incubated at two different temperatures

The study of heavy metals’ redistribution between different fractions allows to know their bioavailability and mobility in soils. Soil samples were collected from a lead mine in Hamadan provinces, NW Iran. In a factorial experiment soil was treated with cow, sheep and poultry manures (20?g?kg^?1 soil) separately and incubated near field capacity at 10°C and 37°C. An untreated soil (as control) was also incubated at the same temperatures. After 0 and 120 days, a sequential extraction scheme was used to fractionate Pb of incubated samples into soluble-exchangeable (Sol-Exch), organic matter associated (AOM), carbonates associated (ACar), and residual (Res) forms. Soil Pb in Sol-Exch and AOM fractions were increased by manure application significantly. The AOM and ACar forms of Pb were higher in soils treated with the manures and incubated in lower temperature. In contrast, the Sol-Exch and Res chemical forms of Pb were higher in the soils incubated at 37°C. These results may be related to the higher calcium carbonate dissolution and organic matter decomposition because of better biological activity in the soils incubated in higher temperature. The increase of the Res fraction (stable form) in this condition may resulted in lower toxicity and mobility in soil environment.     

Characterization of phosphorus species and modeling for its organic forms in eutrophic shallow lake sediments,North China

Variations of phosphorus （P） and its species in surface sediment of Baiyangdian Lake, a eutrophic shallow lake located in North China, were investigated through combination of field survey and numerical calculation based on cluster analysis. P fractionation was performed by a sequential extraction scheme, categorized as loosely bound P （NH4Cl-P）, reductant soluble P （BD-P）, metallic oxide bound P （NaOH-P）, calcium bound P （HCl-P） and organic P （Org-P）. P concentrations exhibited regional similarities and a total of four sub-areas were identified in which the same rank was HCl-P 〉 Org-P 〉 BD-P ,=NaOH-P 〉NH4Cl-E NH4Cl-P, BD-P and Org-P were found to contribute to P enrichment in overlying water column. Specifically, labile Org-P acted as a potential pool with a greater contribution in aerobic layer compared to anaerobic layer. A hysteresis （lag = 4 months） existed when labile Org-P concentration was negatively correlated with aerobic layer thickness. In view of magnitude of identified P contributors in sub-areas, higher potential of P release was present in Fuhe River and Tang River estuary areas. On the basis of calibration and verification, the mathematical model with parameter settings applied in this study was improved to serve as a tool for limnology management and eutrophic control.     

Characterization studies of a semi‐automated separation method for analysis of non‐ortho substituted polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners in environmental samples

Non‐ortho substituted polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners can account for the majority of the dioxin‐like toxicity in environmental samples, yet analysis for these congeners is difficult because other PCB congeners co‐elute with them in most Chromatographic methods. An automated method was developed which incorporates a porous graphitic carbon (PGC) column which is commercially available. Non‐ortho substituted congeners were successfully separated from interfering PCB congeners. Recoveries of non‐ortho substituted congeners were consistently reproducible (CV < 9%) when chicken eggs were fortified with individual congeners.     

Effect of acid rain on the fractionation of heavy metals and major elements in contaminated soils

Acid rain is a serious environmental problem worldwide. In the present study, we investigated the effect of acid rain (1:1 equivalent basis H₂SO₄:HNO₃) at pH values of 2.0, 4.0 and 7.0 on the fractionation of heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn) and major elements (K, Na, Ca, and Mg) in contaminated calcareous soils over a 2084 h period. Heavy metals and major elements in soil samples were fractionated before and after 2084 h kinetic release using a sequential extraction procedure. Before kinetic studies the predominant fractions of K, Na, Ca, Mg, Cd and Ni were mainly associated with carbonate fraction (CARB), whereas Fe, Mn and Zn were associated with the Fe–Mn oxide fraction (Fe–Mn oxide). The highest percentage of Pb and Cu were found in the exchangeable (EXC) and organic matter (OM) fractions, respectively. After kinetic study using different simulated acid rain solutions, the major fractions of heavy metals (expect of Cu) and Na was the same as before release. Upon the application of different acid rain solutions, K and Mg were found dominantly in Fe–Mn oxide fraction, whereas Ca was in the EXC fraction. The results provide valuable information regarding metal mobility and indicated that speciation of metals (Cu and Zn) and major elements in contaminated calcareous soils can be affected by acid rain.

PO43-和柠檬酸对稀土元素在小麦体内积累和分异的影响

基于营养液培养,添加外源稀土和ICP-MS分析技术,研究了无机配体PO₄^3-(Pi)及有机配体柠檬酸(Cit)对小麦器官中稀土元素积累和分异的影响.结果表明,不同Pi水平对小麦根中的稀土总含量(∑REE)影响较小,但显著降低叶中∑REE含量;而不同Cit水平对小麦根、叶中∑REE含量都有明显降低作用.对照植物(无Pi、Cit添加)中,稀土元素在小麦根中具有中稀土(MREE)富集及M-型四重效应分布特征,叶中有重稀土(HREE)富集及W-型四重效应分布特征.不同Pi处理对四重效应无明显作用,但进一步加强HREE在小麦叶片中的富集.添加柠檬酸使对照植物根和叶中的分异有逐渐减弱的趋势,在高浓度处理时(Cit≥150μmol·L^-),小麦根和叶中出现轻稀土(LREE)富集.     

天然水体溶解性有机物(DOM)分级组分对典型城市源污染的荧光响应

运用化学(树脂)分级方法和三维荧光光谱技术,从总体溶解性有机物(DOM)到DOM各分级组分,逐步深入考察其总体分级特征及各组分三维荧光特征对典型城市生活源污染的响应特征和机理. 总体DOM分级特征对污染的产生和变化响应较弱,而DOM的分级组分对生活源污染具有较好的响应特性. DOM的总体分级特征表明,无污染的源头水DOM中以憎水酸(HoA)为主(相对含量最高),其次为亲水性物质(HiM),而受污染水体DOM中的憎水性碱和中性物质(HoBN)及弱憎水酸(WHoA)的绝对含量和相对含量均明显增高,表明用HoBN和WHoA组分相对含量的增加指示污染的增加具有一定的可行性. 研究各分级组分的三维荧光光谱结构特征表明,HoA,HoBN及HiM均对城市源污染具有良好的响应特性,受污染水体的HoA和HoBN组分荧光特征信息更为突出和丰富,且主要为具有紫外吸收的生物代谢类蛋白物质;最为特异的是WHoA组分,其在源头水中主要为含共轭结构的富里酸类物质,而在受污染水体中该类物质几乎消失且荧光响应也急剧降低. 分析式分级法获得的水体DOM主要分级组分对城市源污染具有较好的响应特性.      

稀土在土壤-植物系统中的分馏效应及影响因素

以稀土背景较高的红壤为供试土壤,采用小麦盆栽实验,研究了稀土元素在土壤～小麦系统中的分馏模式,考察了外源稀土浓度、腐殖酸浓度和土壤酸度对稀土分馏模式的影响.结果发现,红壤中稀土的分馏模式与我国土壤的稀土分馏模式基本一致,为向右倾斜的轻稀土富集模式.小麦根部的稀土分布模式与土壤类似,小麦茎叶中稀土分布模式则有所不同.加入外源稀土后,小麦根部的稀土分馏模式随土壤中稀土丰度的改变而改变,而小麦茎叶中的稀土分馏模式却保持相对稳定,说明小麦地下部分与小麦地上部分对稀土的吸收方式存在差异.腐殖酸对稀土在土壤-小麦系统中的分馏效应影响不大土壤酸度对稀土在土壤-小麦系统中的分馏效应有一定的影响,在所试验条件下,观察到小麦中稀土元素的分馏系数随pH值降低而降低,高pH值(pH＝6.7)使稀土在小麦中的分馏系数加大.
