试论长江流域自然环境的演化

依据青藏高原不断抬升及第四纪红色风化壳的不同性状,论证长江流域河流网系的台阶性特征,抬升的结果使高原东侧与北部高大山系足以阻隔西北寒流的冬季入侵,同时又强化了东南湿润气流的深入与阻滞于四川盆地西部及云贵高原北侧,因而使湿润亚热带生态环境得以深入上游地区。根据江南丘陵广泛分布的第四纪红色风化壳的特征,论证了整个地区均受到新构造运动抬升的影响,并在漫长的时期里处于湿润亚热带环境,成为孑遗陆生、水生物种得以长期存活的条件,同时使长江流域形成水热资源丰富、物种多样的河流网系。     

SOIL-MOISTURE EFFECTS OF CONVERSION OF SAGEBRUSH COVER TO BUNCHGRASS COVER1

Precipitation, soil moisture, runoff, and vegetation were measured on two, 5- to 10-acre, big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) watersheds and two, equally small, beardless bluebunch wheatgrass (Agrophron inerme) watersheds that were converted from big sagebrush in 1967. The watersheds are located near Wolcott, Colorado, at an elevation of 7,200 feet, and are mantled with 2 to 3 feet of silty clay soils. Annual precipitation was about 13.5 inches; about 9 inches occurred as rain or snow from April through October and about 4.5 inches accumulated as a snowpack from November through March. Evapotranspiration was about 2 inches greater in 1968 and 1 inch greater in 1969 from the sagebrush watersheds than from the grass watersheds. With a mature stand of grass in 1970 and 1971 the differences in evapotranspiration were within the range of differences measured during the 3-year calibration period when all four watersheds were sagebrush. Water use was similar in the top 1 foot of soil but slightly more water was used by the grass in the 1- to 2-foot zone and more water being used by the sagebrush below 2 feet. Soil-water potential data indicated that only the big sagebrush used a small amount of water from the fractured shale at depths below 40 inches. Sagebrush used more water in August and September than the grass.

Some engineering aspects of homoionized mixed clay minerals

Many studies have been conducted to investigate thephysicochemical behavior of pure clay minerals and predicttheir engineering performance in the field. In this study, thephysicochemical properties of an artificial mixture of differentclay minerals namely, 40-50% montmorillonite, 20-30% illite and 10-15% kaolin were investigated. The mixture was homoionized with sodium, Na⁺; calcium, Ca²⁺; andaluminum, Al³⁺. The engineering properties studied wereconsistency limits, sediment volume, compressibility behavior,and hydraulic conductivity. The results revealed that theliquid, plastic and shrinkage limits of soil increased withincreasing cation valence. The hydraulic conductivity of thesoil also increased with an increase in the valence of thecation at any given void ratio. Aluminum and sodium treatedclays had the highest and the lowest modified compressionindex values, respectively. Furthermore, trivalent cationsaturated clayey soil consolidates three times faster thanthat of monovalent and two times faster than that of divalent.These properties of the soils determined were, in general,similar to those of kaolinite rather than those ofmontmorillonite. The comparison of the results obtained withthe published data in the literature revealed that thephysicochemical behavior of the tested clay soil was, ingeneral, similar to that of kaolinite.     

Mineralogy of Atmospheric Suspended Dust in Three Indoor And One Outdoor Location in Oman

The aim of this work is to characterize the mineral phases present in the atmosphere at three locations in northern Oman. Samples of atmospheric particles were collected using a high volume sampler. Three indoor and one outdoor location were chosen in this investigation. Sampling locations included a residential house located nearby the cement plant, a residential house located nearby a refinery plant, and a residential house located at Al-Suwayq residential area. Indoor air was sampled from these three houses. Moreover, for the Al-Suwayq residential house, sampling was also taken outside the house for comparison. The dust samples were analysed for their microanalysis characterization and their mineral contents as well. The microanalysis enabled us to identify the metals present in the particles. Furthermore, the mineralogical analysis of the sample filters showed the presence of quartz as the principal phase inside the house of Al-Suwayq, whereas quartz, dolomite, and gypsum were common phases outside the house. In the residential house nearby the cement plant, it was found that calcite, quartz, dolomite and goethite were the principal phases whereas the particles collected from the house nearby the refinery composed primarily of dolomite and calcite. The airborne dust collected at the refinery and Al-Suwayq were probably sourced in the natural environment and mobilised by natural processes. However, at the cement factory the crushing and grinding of limestone during the industrial process has contributed significantly to the airborne dust load. Generally, the information obtained in this study will be invaluable as no data for the mineral content of atmospheric dust existed in the Oman.

不同菌株培养顺序对添加铁铝锰氧化物白浆土腐殖质组成的影响

文章旨在探索巨大芽孢杆菌(Bacillus megaterium)、黑曲霉(Aspergillus niger)和灰色链霉菌(Streptomyces griseus)3种菌株、6种培养顺序在添加铁、铝、锰氧化物情况下对混有木质素白浆土腐殖质组成的差异影响.采用室内培养法,在针铁矿、三羟铝石和δ-MnO_2参与条件下,通过6种菌株培养顺序的设置,探讨其对木质素白浆土混料腐殖质组成的影响.结果表明:基于针铁矿添加条件,在以巨大芽孢杆菌为Ⅰ期培养菌株时更有利于白浆土腐殖化系数(CHA/CFA)的促进.而在针铁矿和δ-MnO_2添加条件下,A.niger→S.griseus→B.megaterium的培养顺序更有利于白浆土胡敏酸(HA)向富里酸(FA)的转化.基于三羟铝石添加条件,灰色链霉菌为Ⅰ期培养菌株时更有利于白浆土CHA/CFA的促进,而以巨大芽孢杆菌为Ⅰ期培养菌株时可使CHA/CFA降低;除S.griseus→A.niger→B.megaterium外的5种菌株培养顺序,δ-MnO_2均能有效促进白浆土HA的降解、使其分子结构更加简单;无论哪一菌株培养顺序,针铁矿均有利于微生物对混料胡敏素(Hu)的矿化,δ-MnO_2可使混料总有机碳(TOC)发生较大程度矿化;与对照相比,δ-MnO_2亦可促进微生物对混料水溶性物质(WSS)的消耗,且对可提取腐殖酸(HE)的形成有促进作用.     

牛骨炭与伊/蒙黏土组配改良剂对土壤中Cd的钝化效果

农田土壤Cd污染是我国最为突出的环境问题之一,开展新型钝化修复Cd污染土壤材料的研究和技术开发对保障农产品安全及保护人体健康具有重要意义.以北京某蔬菜生产基地设施大棚Cd污染土壤为试验对象,温室条件下采用盆栽试验,研究牛骨炭与伊/蒙黏土复合组配的改良剂对Cd污染土壤的钝化效果,探讨不同配比的组配改良剂对土壤Cd有效态含量以及小白菜Cd吸收量的影响.结果表明:在污染土壤中添加1%、2%和5%的组配改良剂,可明显降低土壤有效态Cd含量及小白菜对Cd的吸收,土壤有效态Cd含量降幅最大值达42.3%,小白菜地上部分Cd含量降幅最大值达22.7%,组配改良剂中骨炭成分比例越高,钝化效果越好,尤其以添加5%组配改良剂（添加组配改良剂中牛骨炭含量为50%）对Cd的稳定化效果最佳,且不同组配改良剂处理均不会对小白菜生长产生不良影响,表明牛骨炭与伊/蒙黏土组配的改良剂在修复Cd污染土壤上具有较好的应用潜力.研究显示,牛骨炭与伊/蒙黏土组配的改良剂符合绿色修复技术的发展要求,可作为钝化修复农田重金属污染土壤的环保新材料.      

不同炭基两性黏土对紫色土吸附Cu2+的影响

为了探究不同炭基两性黏土材料对紫色土吸附Cu²⁺的影响,将0%、50%和100% CEC十二烷基二甲基甜菜碱（两性）修饰膨润土分别负载于旱生和水生空心莲子草生物炭上制得炭基两性黏土,然后将其以1%和2%（质量比）添加到紫色土中形成供试研究土样。批量处理法研究pH、离子强度和温度处理对各供试土样吸附Cu²⁺的影响,并分析最适环境条件下土样对Cu²⁺的等温吸附和热力学特征。结果表明：（1）pH在2~5范围内,各供试土样对Cu²⁺的吸附量均与pH呈正相关关系。随着离子强度的增大,供试土样对Cu²⁺的吸附量均先增加后减少,以0.1 mg/L最高。10℃~40℃范围内,土样对Cu²⁺的吸附均表现为增温正效应。（2）在pH=5,离子强度0.1 mg/L和40℃条件下,土样对Cu²⁺的吸附等温线符合Langmuir模型,最大吸附量（q_m）保持在160.79~247.12 mmol/kg之间。添加1%和2%炭基两性黏土后土样q_m分别为紫色土的1.35~1.74倍和1.57~2.02倍。选择旱生炭基两性黏土和2%材料添加比例下土样对Cu²⁺的吸附量较大。（3）热力学参数结果显示各供试土样对Cu²⁺的吸附是自发、吸热和熵增的反应过程。     

Ghana: revival of the mineral sector

After almost two decades of decline, Ghana's mineral sector has rebounded significantly and is currently the main foreign exchange earner. Gold mining is the principal activity within the sector and accounted for 41 percent of total export earnings in 1996. This paper presents an overview of Ghana's mineral industry and covers mineral resources, production and reserves; mining investments; the role of mining in the economy; and the structure of the industry. An overview of the national mineral policy is also presented to depict the current regulatory and fiscal environment in which the industry operates. The spectacular reversal in mineral sector performance can be attributed to the adoption of World Bank recommendations in a new national mineral policy, the 1986 Minerals and Mining Law, aimed at revitalizing the sector.
