Radium geochemistry in Na-Cl type groundwater in Niigata Prefecture, Japan

Radium isotopes in 23 Na-Cl type groundwater sampled mainly from deep wells in Niigata Prefecture, which is the site of the largest oil- and gas-fields in Japan, were measured along with U isotopes, chemical components and hydrogen and oxygen isotope ratios to elucidate the distribution and behavior of Ra in a brackish environment underground. Also analyzed were U and Th isotopes in 38 rock samples collected from outcrops at 17 locations. Ra-226 concentrations (8.86-1637 mBq kg⁻¹) of groundwater samples roughly correlated with total dissolved solid (TDS) concentrations and other alkaline earth contents. Their ²²⁸Ra/²²⁶Ra activity ratios (0.32-5.2) were similar to or higher than the ²³²Th/²³⁸U activity ratios (0.6-1.7) in the rocks. The most likely transport mechanism of Ra isotopes into groundwater was due to their α-recoil from the solid phase, probably from the water-rock interface where Th isotopes had accumulated, and adsorption/desorption reaction based on the increase in ²²⁶Ra contents with TDS.     

Coupled radon, methane and nitrate sensors for large-scale assessment of groundwater discharge and non-point source pollution to coastal waters

We constructed a survey system of radon/methane/nitrate/salinity to find sites of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) and groundwater nitrate input. We deployed the system in Waquoit Bay and Boston Harbor, MA where we derived SGD rates using a mass balance of radon with methane serving as a fine resolution qualitative indicator of groundwater. In Waquoit Bay we identified several locations of enhanced groundwater discharge, out of which two (Childs and Quashnet Rivers) were studied in more detail. The Childs River was characterized by high nitrate input via groundwater discharge, while the Quashnet River SGD was notable but not a significant source of nitrate. Our radon survey of Boston Harbor revealed several sites with significant SGD, out of these Inner Harbor and parts of Dorchester Bay and Quincy Bay had groundwater fluxes accompanied by significant water column nitrogen concentrations. The survey system has proven effective in revealing areas of SGD and non-point source pollution.

新疆喀什地区地下水铁锰水文地球化学及演化规律

新疆喀什地区高铁锰地下水严重影响当地供水水质安全及居民身体健康.基于数据收集及水文地质调查基础上,利用171组地下水水样测试数据,借助统计学方法和PHREEQC软件反演对喀什地区地下水铁锰水文地球化学进行研究.结果表明,研究区地下水Fe超标率为39.8%,垂向为深层承压水>浅层承压水>潜水;Mn超标率为60.8%,垂向为浅层承压水>潜水>深层承压水,Mn含量的超标率普遍高于Fe含量的超标率,且分布范围更广,更普遍;高铁锰地下水主要富集于SO₄·Cl-Na·Ca·Mg型水、SO₄·Cl-Na·Mg型水和SO₄·Cl-Na·Ca型水中,高矿化度地下水和蒸发浓缩作用有利于铁锰富集,潜水Fe含量受人为因素影响较大;研究区地下水Fe主要为Fe （Ⅱ）,Mn均为Mn （Ⅱ）;研究区地下水中铁的来源主要为原生地层中褐铁矿,部分为菱铁矿和其他含铁矿物,锰的来源主要为黑锰矿、软锰矿和部分菱锰矿等含锰矿物;潜水中As参与Fe的阳离子交换作用生成Fe （Ⅱ）,承压含水层Mn在高矿化度地下水中持续发生阳离子交换作用,随着含水层深度加大,研究区地下水中的黑锰矿、褐铁矿和软锰矿溶解始终未达到饱和,持续溶解.     

氧气促进纳米零价铁除砷效果及其作用机制

为了探究氧气对纳米零价铁(nZVI)除砷的影响,考察了不同的氧含量(厌氧、低氧、中氧和高氧)条件下nZVI对As(Ⅲ)/As(V)的去除效果,并结合表征结果分析了氧气对nZVI除砷的影响机制。结果表明：氧气存在会显著促进nZVI对As(Ⅲ)/As(Ⅴ)的去除,但不同氧含量对nZVI除砷的促进程度有所不同;随着氧含量的增加,As(Ⅲ)/As(Ⅴ)的去除率呈现先增大后减小然后再增大的趋势。在初始砷浓度为50 mg·L⁻¹、nZVI投加量为200 mg·L⁻¹、O₂/nZVI摩尔比等于0.5时,砷的去除率达到最大,As(Ⅲ)和As(Ⅴ)体系中砷的去除率分别为96.27%和51.75%。固相表征结果表明：氧气对nZVI的氧化程度及除砷效果具有较大的影响,在低氧条件下,nZVI被少量氧化为无定型铁矿物进而提高除砷效果;在中氧条件下,nZVI被氧化为大量的溶解态Fe(Ⅱ)/Fe(Ⅲ),溶解态铁对砷没有去除效果,从而导致砷的去除率降低;在高氧条件下,nZVI被大量氧化,溶解态Fe(Ⅱ)/Fe(Ⅲ)进一步被氧化形成新的无定型铁矿物,可增强除砷效果。以上结果可为评估不同氧含量条件下纳米零价铁除砷效果以及人为强化纳米零价铁除砷效果提供参考。

基于电絮凝法处理矿区高浓度含氟地下水动力学分析

采用铝电极电絮凝体系对矿区高含氟地下水进行处理,研究了高氟浓度下电絮凝除氟过程,分别考察了电流密度、极板间距、进水氟质量浓度及pH对除氟效果和动力学常数的影响,并建立了电絮凝除氟动力学方程模型。结果表明：最佳除氟参数为电流密度为450 A·m⁻³,极间距为5 mm,pH为6.0~7.0;当进水氟质量浓度为12.1 mg·L⁻¹时,经60 min电絮凝除氟后可使进水氟质量浓度由12.1 mg·L⁻¹降为0.6 mg·L⁻¹以下,整个除氟过程遵循一级反应动力学模型且除氟动力学常数取决于电流密度、极板间距和进水氟质量浓度。絮体结构与成分分析表明,在pH=6.0~7.0条件下,电絮凝体系中主要形成的无定型羟基铝化合物使除氟效果达到最好,较高的进水氟质量浓度有助于提高铝离子利用效率。     

关于制定地下水修复目标上限值 (风险管制值) 的建议

修复目标值是评判场地修复是否合格以及修复后地块能否安全利用的唯一标准,因此制定合理的修复目标值对于污染场地修复治理和安全利用起着至关重要的作用。大部分污染场地需要同时进行土壤和地下水修复,生态环境部发布了《建设用地土壤污染修复目标值制定指南 (试行) 》,然而地下水修复目标值制定的指南标准尚未发布。少数项目制定的地下水修复目标值过于宽松,无法保障地块的风险可控和安全利用。因此,建议借鉴土壤环境管理的思路,制定一个类似于“土壤管制值”的“地下水修复目标上限值 (风险管制值) ”。该值的制定不能只基于风险评估计算的结果,而应充分考虑每种污染物各自的理化性质、迁移转化归趋机制、环境赋存特征、健康和环境风险、国外同类标准的取值、检测方法的准确度和成本、经济社会承受能力等因素,力争做到合规合法、科学严谨、综合平衡。     

Mapping Biological Resources in the Coastal Zone: An Evaluation of Methods in a Pioneering Study from Norway

For many years, the planning and management of terrestrial areas has been supported by a detailed knowledge of the distribution of habitats and their associated species. However, the detailed mapping of biological resources in extent coastal areas, such as the Norwegian coastal zone, is unrealistic due to its enormous coastline. Here, we present a useful and feasible approach and a set of simple, cost-effective methods which are suitable for providing a broad-scale overview of marine habitats and fish resources. This approach was developed in conjunction with a pioneer study conducted along the southern coast of the Skagerrak, where we combined knowledge gathered from local fishermen with scientific knowledge of important species and nature types to establish a coastal sea mapping program. GIS modeling tools were used in both the mapping program and to integrate local and scientific knowledge into digital maps made available to local area management. This multi-faceted approach, which combines local knowledge and scientific methods, provides valuable information with respect to marine biodiversity, and has been used extensively by local environmental management.
