长江(湖北段)沉积物中微量元素的分布特征及镉的形态

对长江(湖北段)不同时期沉积物中的微量元素(Cd,Zn,Pb,Cu,As,Hg,Cr,Ni,Mn)进行了研究.结果表明,从早期(一万年至两千年前)到现代(2002年),长江沉积物中多数微量元素的含量有明显的增加,尤其是Cd,Pb和Hg,由早期的0.25mg·kg-1,20.1mg·kg-1和0.046mg·kg-1分别增加至现代的0.71mg·kg-1,42.1mg·kg-1和0.098mg·kg-1.用连续提取法对沉积物中Cd赋存形态的测定结果显示,从早期到现代,碳酸盐结合态Cd所占比例有明显的增长,由早期的14.5%增加至现代的28.7%,松结和紧结有机结合态Cd也有不同程度的增加;铁锰氧化物结合态Cd的比例显著降低,由早期的31.3%变为现代的14.9%;残渣态Cd的百分率也有一定程度的降低.     

太湖藻对水-沉积物界面磷交换过程的影响

采用太湖梅梁湾沉积物和上覆水,以及从太湖水体中分离出的水华优势蓝藻(铜绿微囊藻)和常见绿藻(月芽藻), 室内模拟研究了这2种藻对太湖梅梁湾沉积物磷交换过程的影响. 结果表明:藻种的不同显著影响磷在水-沉积物界面的交换过程. 在沉积物和上覆水灭活条件下,铜绿微囊藻能够显著增加沉积物磷的释放量,引起上覆水中可溶性磷酸盐的增加;而月芽藻的存在没有引起沉积物中磷的明显释放,上覆水中可溶性磷酸盐一直保持在很低水平. 在低磷浓度的水体中,藻类会被诱导产生碱性磷酸酶,分解大分子可溶性有机磷,以满足自身生长的需要. 沉积物中各形态磷存在明显的转化作用,其中铁磷和碱提有机磷含量明显下降,而钙磷和酸提有机磷含量则大幅增加.      

Direct and indirect methods for chromium identification in industrial wastes

The examinations of selected wastes and stream sediments from the vicinity of a chemical plant by sequential extraction procedures and direct methods, SEM/EDX and XRD, were carried out in order to identify the different forms of chromium, particularly as they are released to potential mobility. The results show that the top and bottom waste samples contain 37,756 and 53,650 μg g¹ Cr, respectively, but about 7% and 2% of the total chromium type Cr(VI). The chemical extraction results show that the mobility of Cr in the upper part of the waste pile is significantly higher than in the bottom section; the exchangeable form of Cr accounts for 25% and < 1%, respectively, the last one irrespective of redox conditions. About 50% of Cr is associated with the reducible fraction of the top waste, and similar with the residual fraction in the bottom waste. Oxidation of the bottom waste shift some portion of Cr from residual to the moderately reducible fraction. The major Cr-forms in the river sediments are compounded with Fe-oxides. The < 2 μm size fraction of the selected sediment sample, particular enriched in chromium contained up to 73,000 μg g¹ Cr with about 95% of this in the moderately reducible fraction, predominantly bound with oxyhydroxides. SEM/EDX and XRD analysis of wastes and river sediment indicate that the main insoluble Cr-phase is ferroan — (Mg, Fe) (Cr, Al)²O⁴ which would be dissolved mainly in the residual fraction.     

Sediment geochemistry and arsenic mobilization in shallow aquifers of the Datong basin,northern China

Understanding the mechanism of arsenic (As) mobilization from sediments to groundwater is important for water quality management in areas of endemic arsenic poisoning, such as the Datong basin in northern China. The bulk geochemistry analysis of sediment samples from three 50-m boreholes drilled specifically for this study at As-contaminated aquifers, the groundwaters of which have an As concentration up to 1060 μg/l, revealed that the average bulk concentrations of major and trace elements of the samples are similar to those of the average upper continental crust. The average As content of the sediment samples (18.7 mg/kg) is higher than that of modern unconsolidated sediments (5–10 mg/kg). Moreover, the abundance of elements varied with grain size, with higher concentrations in finer fractions of the sediments, such as silt and clay. The concentration of NH₂OH–HCl-extracted iron (Fe) strongly correlated with that of extracted As, suggesting that Fe oxyhydroxides may be the major sink of As in the aquifer. The results of microcosm experiments showed that As mobilization from sediments to groundwater is probably mainly related to changes in the redox conditions, with moderately reducing conditions being favorable for As release from sediments into groundwater.     

菲对湘江沉积物吸附镉的影响

制备了镉单独污染和镉-菲复合污染的模拟水样,研究了菲对湘江沉积物吸附模拟水样中镉的动力学和热力学特征的影响,并进一步研究了在不同水样pH和ρ(沉积物)下,菲存在与否及ρ(菲)对沉积物吸附镉的影响.结果表明,无论菲存在与否,湘江沉积物吸附镉的热力学数据均能够用Langmuir方程拟合,相关系数达到0.99以上,属单分子层吸附;动力学数据均可用拉格朗日二级动力学方程拟合,相关系数接近1;以化学吸附过程为主,且在湘江沉积物上的吸附均以快速吸附为主;但是菲的存在削弱了沉积物对镉的吸附能力,提高了镉的解吸率.在试验范围内随着水样pH逐渐增大,菲对沉积物吸附镉的影响越小;ρ(菲)越大,沉积物对镉的吸附量越小;菲对沉积物吸附镉的影响主要是由于菲与镉竞争沉积物颗粒矿物之间的孔隙以及甲醇化的菲分子与颗粒的结合掩蔽了颗粒物表面的部分极性基团两方面原因造成的.      

Mercury levels in sediments of central Mediterranean Sea: a 150+ year record from box-cores recovered in the Strait of Sicily

To evaluate the degree of anthropogenic mercury pollution, Hg contents have been measured for box-core sediments sampled along three nearshore–offshore transects in the Strait of Sicily and well constrained for their mineralogy, bulk geochemistry and TOC%. Hg values are generally low (from 15 to 70 μg kg⁻¹); however, depth profiles clearly display upcore rising concentrations (up to 202 μg kg⁻¹ near the SE Sicily coast) that are attributed to anthropogenic load. Based on ²¹⁰Pb chronology, these trends are more dramatic across the last 20–30 years. Geogenic influence is thought to explain some anomalies related to volcanic emission and geothermal activity. Combined effects due to eastward flowing of the Modified Atlantic Water (MAW) and sea bottom morphology drove major anthropogenic accumulation.     

Concentration and fate of persistent organochlorine pesticides in estuarine sediments using headspace solid-phase microextraction

The concentration and fate of persistent organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in estuarine surface sediments in Erh-jen and Lan-yang rivers, Taiwan were investigated using headspace solid-phase microextraction (HSSPME) method to evaluate the possible pollution potential and guideline for OCP concentrations in Taiwan. The HSSPME method exhibits a good analytical performance with low detection limits for OCP determination in sediment. In addition, results obtained using the developed HSSPME method were in good agreement with those obtained using Soxhlet extraction in a certified sample. The developed analytical method was further applied to the determination of concentrations of OCP residues in surface sediments from the estuaries of the selected rivers in Taiwan. A total of 20 surface sediments from each river was collected from 10 sampling stations. The total OCP concentrations in sediments from Erh-jen River ranged from 0.17 to 5.04 ng/g-dw with the mean values of 0.25–1.24 ng/g-dw for HCHs, 0.10–0.89 ng/g-dw for cyclodienes and 0.16–0.64 ng/g-dw for DDTs. The concentrations of OCPs in sediments from Lan-yang River were in the range 0.37–0.9 ng/g-dw with an average of lower than 0.5 ng/g-dw. HCHs and DDTs were abundant in the estuarine sediments from the selected rivers. Results obtained in this study show that the origin of OCPs in the surface sediments from Erh-jen River is a combination of erosion of the weathered soils and long-range atmospheric transport, while the OCP concentrations found in Lan-yang River could be regarded as the background levels of OCPs in Taiwan.
