The purpose of this study was to determine the levels of heavy metals namely cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) in the
five aquatic plants. For this purpose, the concentration of heavy metals were measured in water and in the five aquatic plant
species, Lepironia articulata, Pandanus helicopus, Scirpus grossus, Cabomba furcata and Nelumbo nucifera, in 15 sites from Tasik Chini. The concentrations were different among the plant species as well as among the parts of plants.
The highest concentration of heavy metals among the aquatic plants and plant parts was found in the roots of S. grossus. The concentrations of Cd in the leaves and stems of submerged aquatic plant, C. furcata, were higher than concentration of Cd in the leaves and stems of emergent aquatic plant and floating leaf plant. The concentration
of Cu in the stem of C. furcata was greater than that in the leaf, while the concentration of Cd was more in the leaf than in the stem. The heavy metal contents
of the aquatic plants were in descending order of Pb > Cu > Cd. The metal concentration quotient of leaves/roots and stems/roots
(ML/MR and MS/MR) were calculated. The highest internal translocation was found in P. helicopus, while the lowest internal translocation was found in S. grossus. 相似文献

Distillery and tanneries are major source of heavy metals pollution in natural wetland sites in India. Present study deals
with the heavy metals accumulation potential of Typha angustifolia and Cyperus esculentus growing in distillery and tannery effluent polluted wetland sites. The metal accumulation pattern in both macrophytes showed
direct correlation with the metal content in sediments. Both macrophytes were observed root accumulator for Fe, Cr, Pb, Cu,
and Cd. The metal accumulation in T. angustifolia was found higher than C. esculentus, and accumulation pattern was Fe > Mn > Cr > Zn > Pb > Cu > Ni > Cd. Simultaneously, chlorophyll, protein, cysteine, and
ascorbic acid were also induced in T. angustifolia than C. esculentus. In addition, formation of multinucleolus in shoot of T. angustifolia was found an evidence of extra protein synthesis for tolerance under stress conditions. Hence, C. esculentus was observed potential but less tolerance for metals than T. angustifolia. Therefore, these wetland plants could be used for phytoremediation of heavy metals from wastewater. 相似文献

The Yacoraite River and its tributaries run down the eastern slope of the Aguilar Range. It is one of the tributaries of the
Rio Grande, located in Quebrada de Humahuaca, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Aguilar underground mine (Pb–Ag–Zn) is located
in the upper reaches of the Yacoraite River drainage basin. The aim of this work is to characterize the presence of heavy
metals in water and sediments of the Yacoraite River and to identify their sources. The analysis shows the seasonal variation
of heavy metals concentration in water and their relation with the World Health Organization (WHO) limits established for
human consumption. The Yacoraite basin is naturally anomalous in some metals and some elements, such as As which is controlled
by the chemical composition of regional lithology. During the wet season, Al, Co, Mo and Pb concentrations in water samples
are higher than during the dry season; in addition, these metals are also higher than WHO limit values. High enrichment factors
for Ba, Mo, Pb, Zn and Cd were found in Casa Grande stream, indicating the direct influence of the mining activities. Cd,
Pb and Zn are present in the Aguilar ore minerals, such as sphalerite and galena. Sediments collected during the dry season
show a drastic increase in the concentration of As, Pb, Ba, Zn, Cd and Mn. The Müller geo-accumulation index in Casa Grande
indicates that it is a highly polluted stream. The concentrations of As, Pb, Ba, Zn, Cd are also high in Yacoraite River: Security Quality Guidelines indicates
toxicity. A decrease in enrichment factors and geo-accumulation indices observed in sediments indicates the occurrence of precipitation/adsorption
processes in the river to restore the equilibrium composition. Strict environmental controls in Aguilar Mine are necessary
to avoid the uncontrolled input of toxic metals in Casa Grande stream and Yacoraite River. 相似文献

Stream water composition, measured weekly for 8–9 months in 1994 in three arctic catchments on and around the Kola Peninsula (Russia, Finland and Norway), is presented in the form of time-series. In all three catchments, snowmelt causes a major dilution of the stream water, as reflected by marked dips in electrical conductance. In the most polluted catchment (C2), the snowmelt flood (the major hydrological event at these latitudes) is reflected in the stream water by a pH dip and a pulse in technogenic heavy metals (Cu, Ni, etc.), Al and S. This results from melting of the snow laden with heavy metals and sulphate, and from leaching of the topsoil layer. In the most pristine catchment (C8), snowmelt causes no heavy metal pulse (remote location) but yields an increase in stream water Al (acidic lithology/overburden). In the intermediate catchment (C5), very subdued heavy metal and S increases are noticeable in the stream water, whilst its pH increases steadily until summer (basic lithology). Some elements (Cl, S) may be mobilised out of the snowpack before its complete thawing and reach the stream 1–2 weeks ahead of the heavy metals. The substrate (soil, overburden and bedrock) of a catchment controls to a large extent its ability to buffer acid inputs. 相似文献

Spatio-temporal dynamics of heavy metals in sediments of the river estuarine system: Mahanadi basin (India) 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

Dynamics of heavy metals in the surface sediments of Mahanadi river estuarine system were studied for three different seasons. This study demonstrates that the relative abundance of these metals follows in the order of Fe > Mn > Zn > Pb > Cr > Ni ≥ Co > Cu > Cd. The spatial pattern of heavy metals supported by enrichment ratio data, suggests their anthropogenic sources possibly from various industrial wastes and municipal wastes as well as agricultural runoff. The metal concentrations in estuarine sediments are relatively higher than in the river due to adsorption/accumulation of metals on sediments during saline mixing, while there is a decreasing trend of heavy metal concentrations towards the marine side. The temporal variations for metals, such as Fe, Mn, Zn, Ni and Pb exhibit higher values during monsoon season, which are related to agricultural runoff. Higher elemental concentrations are observed during pre-monsoon season for these above metals (except Ni) at the polluted stations and for metals, such as Cr, Co and Cd at all sites, which demonstrate the intensity of anthropogenic contribution. R-mode factor analysis reveals that “Fe–Mn oxy hydroxide”, “organic matter”, “CaCO3”, and “textural variables” factors are the major controlling geochemical factors for the enrichment of heavy metals in river estuarine sediment and their seasonal variations, though their intensities were different for different seasons. The relationships among the stations are highlighted by cluster analysis, represented in dendrograms to categorize different contributing sites for the enrichment of heavy metals in the river estuarine system. 相似文献

This contribution is a short history of the Zambian copper flower, Becium homblei (recently renamed B. centraliafricanum that has attracted attention as a plant associated with Cu-rich soils. It has a peculiar discontinuous distribution in Central Africa which has been explained in terms of biotype depletion. A field investigation into the ecology of the species shows that it is able to tolerate soil Cu concentrations of up to 15,000 μg/g (ppm), and soil nickel concentrations of nearly 5000 μg/g. B. homblei is also found on areas where soil metals are in trace quantities, and where soil bases, particularly Ca, are low. In spite of its tolerance to a wide range of edaphic conditions, the distribution of the species is very restricted in Zimbabwe, and this is almost certainly due to severe interspecific competition with a closely related species, B. obovatum, which is common on soils not unusually enriched in heavy metals. Pioneering work on geobotanical prospecting by use of Becium homblei was carried out by the late G. Woodward and others in the 1950s and 1960s. This species was used successfully for geobotanical prospecting for Cu. This present report is a brief history of these pioneering studies 相似文献

Effects of ammonium molybdate on phytoremediation by alfalfa plants and (im)mobilization of toxic metals in soils 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Ammonium molybdate has been used to remove the toxic metals in waste water by forming precipitates, such as Pb. However, the
ammonium molybdate has not been used to remediate the toxic metals contaminated soils. The objectives of this study were to
report: (1) the reaction mechanisms of ammonium molybdate with toxic metals; (2) the effects of ammonium molybdate on (im)mobilization
of the toxic metals in soils; (3) and the effects of ammonium molybdate on uptake toxic metals from soils by alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) plants. In this paper, it was found that: the effects of ammonium molybdate on toxic metals are amphoteric-immobilization/mobilization.
Cr and Zn can be precipitated with ammonium molybdate, but Cd, Ni, Cu can be formed more soluble fractions with ammonium molybdate.
The ammonium molybdate can be named as half-chemical stabilization agent, half-extracting agent, or amphoteric agent. The
contents and BCF values of toxic metals in alfalfa plants were increased after the soils were treated with ammonium molybdate.
TF values of alfalfa plants (both controls and treatments) were lower than 1. The addition of ammonium molybdate can increase
the acid soluble fractions of Cd, Ni, Cu, and residual fractions of Cr, Zn. In other words, the toxicities of Cd, Ni, and
Cu to plants in soils have been increasing. Instead, the toxicities of Cr, Zn have been decreasing. The ammonium molybdate
has promoted plants to produce more biomass, but the growths of shoot and root in seedling stages have been decreased by the
increasing Cd, Ni, and Cu toxicities which caused by ammonium molybdate. 相似文献

Simultaneous competitive adsorption behavior of Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn onto nine soils with a wide physical–chemical characteristics
from Eastern China was measured in batch experiments to assess the mobility and retention of these metals in soils. In the
competitive adsorption system, adsorption isotherms for these metals on the soils exhibited significant differences in shape
and in the amount adsorbed. As the applied concentration increased, Cu and Pb adsorption increased, while Cd and Zn adsorption
decreased. Competition among heavy metals is very strong in acid soils with lower capacity to adsorb metal cations. Distribution
coefficients (K
dmedium) for each metal and soil were calculated. The highest K
dmedium value was found for Pb and followed by Cu. However, low K
dmedium values were shown for Zn and Cd. On the basis of the K
dmedium values, the selectivity sequence of the metal adsorption is Pb > Cu > Zn > Cd and Pb > Cu > Cd > Zn. The adsorption sequence
of nine soils was deduced from the joint distribution coefficients (K
dΣmedium). This indicated that acid soils with low pH value had lower adsorption capacity for heavy metals, resulting in much higher
risk of heavy metal pollution. The sum of adsorbed heavy metals on the soils could well described using the Langmuir equation.
The maximum adsorption capacity (Q
m) of soils ranged from 32.57 to 90.09 mmol kg−1. Highly significant positive correlations were found between the K
dΣmedium and Q
m of the metals and pH value and cation exchange capacity (CEC) of soil, suggesting that soil pH and CEC were key factors controlling
the solubility and mobility of the metals in soils. 相似文献

Assessment of heavy metal accumulation in macrophyte, agricultural soil, and crop plants adjacent to discharge zone of sponge iron factory 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The present study deals with the characterization of effluent released from sponge iron industries and distribution of heavy
metals in soil and macrophytes near to effluent discharge channel. Apart from this, accumulation of heavy metals in nearby
soil and vegetation system irrigated with effluent-contaminated water is also the subject of this study. Physico-chemical
analysis of effluent reveals that the concentration of total suspended solids (TSS), total hardness (TH), iron (Fe2+), and oil and grease are greater than the IS (1981) norms for discharge of water into inland water body. The soil along the sides of the effluent channel also shows higher
concentration of heavy metals than the background soil. The enrichment of the heavy metals are in the order of Chromium (Cr) > Iron
(Fe) > Manganese (Mn) > Zinc (Zn) > Copper (Cu) > Cadmium (Cd). Macrophytes growing along the sides of the effluent channel
also show significant accumulation of heavy metals almost in the same order as accumulated in soil. Higher uptake of heavy
metals by these varieties reveals that these species can be used for future phytoremediation. The effluent as well as contaminated
water is extensively used for irrigation for growing vegetables like tomato (Lycopersicon esculatum) in the surrounding areas. Heavy metal accumulation in this agricultural soil are in the sequence of Cr > Fe > Mn > Zn > Cu > Cd.
More or less similar type of accumulation pattern are also found in tomato plants except Fe and Zn exceeding Cr and Mn. Transfer
Factor of heavy metals from soil to tomato plants (TFS) shows average value of <1, suggesting less uptake of heavy metals from soil. Among the plant parts studied, fruit shows
least accumulation. Although tomato plants show some phenotypic changes, the survival of tomato plants as well as least accumulation
of metals in fruit reveals their tolerance to heavy metals. Therefore it may be suggested that this plant can be grown successfully
in the heavy metal contaminated soil. Further research work on in situ toxicity test will be necessary in order to identify
the most resistive variety on this particular type of contaminated site. 相似文献

The ability of ochre to remove Pb(II) and Cu(II) from aqueous media has been studied by batch sorption studies varying the contact time, initial metal concentration, initial solution pH and temperature to understand the adsorption behaviour of these metals through adsorption kinetics and isotherms. The pH of the solution and the temperature controlled the adsorption of metal ions by ochre and rapid uptake occurred in the first 30 min of reaction. The kinetics of adsorption followed a pseudo-second-order rate equation (R 2 > 0.99) and the isotherms are well described by the Freundlich model. Adsorption of metals onto ochre is endothermic in nature. Between the two metals, Pb(II) showed more preference towards the exchangeable sites on ochre than Cu(II). This study indicates that ochre is a very effective adsorbent in removing Pb(II) and Cu(II) from the aqueous environment with an adsorptive capacity of 0.996 and 0.628 mg g?1 and removal efficiency of 99.68 and 62.80 %, respectively. 相似文献

A series of experiments was conducted to better understand the bacterial influence on the release of trace metals during oxidation
of sphalerite mineral and element cycles in acid mine drainage (AMD) systems. Batch experiments were carried out as biotic
and abiotic control at pH 3. Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, sulfur and Fe(II) oxidizer, was used in the biotic sphalerite experiment. The abiotic control experiment was run without
adding the bacteria. The release behavior of six trace metals (As, Cd, Co, Pb, Cu and Mn), Fe and Zn were determined during
the period of 54 days. Compared to the abiotic experiments, enhanced oxidation of sphalerite by bacteria produced high sulfate
(~2,000 mg/L) and Fetot (139 mg/L) along with the low pH (<2.3). Consistent with this, the concentration of trace metals (As, Cd, Co, Pb, Cu and
Mn) was significantly higher in the biotic experiments than those in the abiotic experiments. Results indicate that the distributions
of Co and Cd in both biotic and abiotic experiments are directly related to the sphalerite dissolution whereas Pb, Cu distribution
shows no strong relation to sphalerite dissolution especially in the abiotic experiments. Pb distribution in the solution
appears to be controlled by pH-dependent solubility. Approximately 80% of the trace metals were removed from the solution
at the end of the biotic experiments along with biologically induced Fe precipitation. Experimental results showed that bacteria
play major role not only in the release of trace metal from sphalerite but also in controlling concentration of the metals
in the solution by producing Fe-oxyhydroxides. The study suggest that in order to develop an effective rehabilitation strategy
for AMD, it is necessary to understand bio/geochemical processes governing mobilization and deposition of trace metals in
the environment. 相似文献

Competitive adsorption,release and speciation of heavy metals in the Yellow River sediments,China 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Qingyun Fan Jiang He Hongxi Xue Changwei LÜ Ying Liang Saruli Ying Sun Lili Shen 《Environmental Geology》2007,53(2):239-251
The competitive adsorption and the release of selected heavy metals and their speciation distribution before and after adsorption
in the Yellow River sediments are discussed. The adsorption of metals onto sediments increases with increasing pH value and
decreases with increasing ionic strength. The competitive coefficient K
c and the distribution coefficient K
d are obtained to analyze the competitive abilities of selected heavy metals, which are ranked as Pb > Cu >> Zn > Cd. The competition
among selected heavy metals becomes more impetuous with increasing ion concentration in water. Speciation analysis was done
by an improved analytical procedure involving five steps of sequential extraction. Cu, Pb and Zn were mainly transformed into
the carbonate-bound form (50.8–87.7%) in adsorption. Most of (60.7–77.3%) Cd was transformed into the exchangeable form, and
the percentage of carbonate-bound Cd was 19.7–30.4%. The release reaction was so quick that the release capacity of selected
heavy metals from sediments to aqueous solution reached half of the maximum value only in 30 s. As opposed to adsorption,
the release capacities of selected heavy metals were ranked as Cd > Zn >> Cu > Pb. In this study, Cd produces the most severe
environmental hazards, because its concentration in the release solution is 85.8 times more than the human health criteria
of US EPA. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to investigate the concentration levels of heavy metals in different species of the main three
marine algal divisions from the Gulf of Aden coastal waters, Yemen. The divisions included Chlorophyta—green plants (Halimeda tuna, Rhizoclonium kochiamum, Caldophora koiei, Enteromorpha compressa, and Caulerpa racemosa species), Phaeophyta—brown seaweeds (Padina boryana, Turbinaria elatensis, Sargassum binderi, Cystoseira myrica, and Sargassum boveanum species), and Rhodophyta—red seaweeds (Hypnea cornuta, Champia parvula, Galaxaura marginate, Laurencia paniculata, Gracilaria foliifere, and species). The heavy metals, which included cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), Iron (Fe), manganese
(Mn), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), and vanadium (V) were measured by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAs). The
concentrations of heavy metals in all algal species are in the order of Fe >> Cu > Mn > Cr > Zn > Ni > Pb > Cd > V > Co. The
results also showed that the uptake of heavy metals by different marine algal divisions was in the order of Chlorophyta > Phaeophyta > Rhodophyta.
These heavy metals were several order of magnitude higher than the concentrations of the same metals in seawater. This indicates
that marine alga progressively uptake heavy metals from seawater. 相似文献

Heavy metal contamination of cultivated wetland soils along a typical plateau lake from southwest China 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Junhong Bai Baoshan Cui Zhifeng Yang Xiaofeng Xu Qiuyi Ding Haifeng Gao 《Environmental Earth Sciences》2010,59(8):1781-1788
Topsoil (0–20 cm) samples were collected from four cultivated wetlands including Northern and Western Fields (about 30-year
tillage), and Southern and Western Fields (about 20-year tillage) along the Yilong Lake of China in October, 2005. Total concentrations
of As, Cr, Cu, Pb, and Zn were determined using the inductively coupled plasma atomic absorption spectrometry in order to
assess contamination status in four sampling plots. Results showed that the average concentrations of these heavy metals in
Northern and Western Fields were significantly (P < 0.01) higher than those in reference soils, while they were generally lower in Southern and Eastern Fields. All the mean
concentrations of heavy metals were lower, except that the average concentrations of As and Cr in Northern Field slightly
exceeded the soil quality guidelines. The contamination indices showed low-contamination levels for As, Cu, Pb, and Zn in
Northern and Western Fields, while no contamination levels could be observed in Southern and Eastern Fields. As for Cr, they
showed moderate-contamination levels in Northern Field, but low or no contamination levels in other three Fields. The integrated
contamination index values indicated Northern and Western Fields were moderately contaminated, while Southern and Eastern
Fields were less contaminated. The same contamination sources of these heavy metals were identified in these fields using
factor- and cluster analysis. 相似文献

Accumulation of heavy metals in wild commercial fish from the Baotou Urban Section of the Yellow River,China 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In this work we studied the accumulation of heavy metals in nine species of fish with different life and feeding habitats
which are native and major commercial fish in the Baotou Urban Section of the Yellow River. The results showed that the concentration
of heavy metals was significantly dependent on fish species; the pollution index of heavy metals in different species were
ranked as Hemiculter leucisclus > Carassius auratus auratus > Hemibarbus maculatus > Megalobrama amblycephala > Abbottina rivularis > Cyprinus carpio > Squaliobarbus curriculus > Perccottus glehni > Saurogobio dabryi. Product–moment correlation coefficients among the metal pairs Pb–Zn, Cu–Cd, Cu–Zn, Cu–Pb, Pb–Cd, and Zn–Cd revealed there
was no competitions between metals in each tissue. Correlations between heavy metal concentrations and fish length or weight
indicated that accumulation of the heavy metals by the different fish species was related to their surrounding environments
and their life and feeding habitats. According to the mean bioconcentration factors (BCFs), the heavy metal concentrations
in these nine species were ranked Zn ≫ Cu > Cd ≈ Pb. In this work, the bioaccumulation factors (BAFs) were developed by using
the sum of exchangeable and bound-to-carbonate heavy metals as Cs values. It was found that BAFs better reveal the accumulation
characteristics of the heavy metals in the fish, which might provide an effective method for assessing bioaccumulation of
heavy metals. 相似文献

This paper reports a geochemical study of trace metals and Pb isotopes of sediments from the lowermost Xiangjiang River, Hunan
province (P. R. China). Trace metals Ba, Bi, Sc, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Cd, Sn, Sb, Pb, Tl, Th, U, Zr, Hf, Nb and
Ta were analyzed using ICP-MS, and Pb isotopes of the bulk sediments were measured by MC-ICP-MS. The results show that trace
metals Cd, Bi, Sn, Sc, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Sb, Pb and Tl are enriched in the sediments. Among these metals, Cd, Bi and
Sn are extremely highly enriched (EF values >40), metals Zn, Sn, Sb and Pb significantly highly (5 < EF < 20), and metals
Sc, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu and Tl moderately highly (2 < EF < 5) enriched in the river sediments. All these metals, however, are
moderately enriched in the lake sediments. Geochemical results of trace metals Th, Sc, Co, Cr, Zr, Hf and La, and Pb isotopes
suggest that metals in the river sediments are of multi-sources, including both natural and anthropogenic sources. Metals
of the natural sources might be contributed mostly from weathering of the Indosinian granites (GR) and Palaeozoic sandstones
(PL), and metals of anthropogenic sources were contributed from Pb–Zn ore deposits distributed in upper river areas. Metals
in the lake sediments consist of the anthropogenic proportions, which were contributed from automobile exhausts and coal dusts.
Thus, heavy-metal contamination for the river sediments is attributed to the exploitation and utilization (e.g., mining, smelting,
and refining) of Pb–Zn ore mineral resources in the upper river areas, and this for the lake sediments was caused by automobile
exhausts and coal combustion. Metals Bi, Cd, Pb, Sn and Sb have anthropogenic proportion of higher than 90%, with natural
contribution less than 10%. Metals Mn and Zn consist of anthropogenic proportion of 60–85%, with natural proportion higher
than 15%. Metals Sc, Cr, Co, Cu, Tl, Th, U and Ta have anthropogenic proportion of 30–70%, with natural contribution higher
than 30%. Metals Ba, V and Mo might be contributed mostly from natural process. 相似文献

The Gironde estuary, one of the largest in Europe, is considerated as a reference ecological system, with all the western
European diadromous fish species present. The national biomonitoring program on the coastal marine environment has revealed
since 1979 severe metal pollution (mostly cadmium [Cd]) in oysters collected from the estuary. No data are available on metal
contamination levels in fish, despite their ecological and economic importance. We present the results from a detailed study
based on 4 metals (Cd, zinc [Zn], copper [Cu], and mercury [Hg]) measured in 4 organs (gills, dorsal skeletal muscle, liver,
and kidneys) from 8 fish species illustrating several ecological combinations: European eel (Anguilla anguilla), twaite shad (Alosa fallax), bass (Dicentrarchus labrax), meagre (Argyrosomus regius), flounder (Platichthys flesus),, thin-lippid grey mullet (Liza ramada), sole (Solea vulgaris), and Canary drum (Umbrina canariensis). The results show very marked differences between species and organs, as well as very significant variations between the
4 metals. Although metal concentrations measured in fish muscle are low, except in the case of Hg for theA. fallax, high levels of Cu and Cd were observed in the kidneys and livers ofL. ramada andA. anguilla. A multifactorial analysis based on rank ordered metal concentrations for the 8 fish species clearly shows 4 clusters of
species assigned to the different degrees of metal contamination, from the lowest contaminated (A. regius, D. labrax, S. vulgaris, andU. canariensis), to the most contaminated group (L. ramada). The most contaminated species (L. ramada, A. angailla, andP. flesus) are characterized by long residence times in the estuary, between 3.5 and 14 yr. ForL. ramada, biofilms with high metal storage capacities would be the principal uptake route; the two other species are benthic with
a carnivorous regime. Comparisons between our data and four estuaries (Seine, France; Mersey, U.K.; La Plata, Argentina; Guadalquivir,
Spain), on a limited number of common species, metals and fish organs, clearly reveal higher Cd bioaccumulation levels in
the Gironde estuary. 相似文献

We have studied sediments of the Piscinas beach (SW Sardinia, Italy), which is supplied by two streams that wash mine dumps
of abandoned lead and zinc mines at Montevecchio and Ingurtosu, situated inland from the supply basin of the beach itself.
A study of the texture, mineralogy and geochemistry of the sediments was conducted for the purpose of assessing the possible
influence of the mine waste on the composition of the sediments, looking for any anomalous enrichments in heavy metals. Furthermore,
to evaluate and quantify metal release into the sea, samples of Posidonia oceanica, a bioaccumulator marine plant, were also examined. The results indicate that the distribution of heavy metals in the foreshore
sediments is particularly affected by the contribution of the streams, while in the shoreface the distribution is affected
by the currents that disperse the sediments both out to sea and southwards. The metal contents of the Posidonia oceanica are correlated with the different stages of activity of the mines.

Various soil zones such as Bw, C1, and C3 are developed on spilite. Montmorillonite, vermiculite and chlorite is moderately occurred in the C1 and C3 soil zones, in contrast montmorillonite and vermiculite are absent in Bw soils whereas illite and sesquioxide are relatively increased. The high cation exchange capacity (CEC) of montmorillonite and vermiculte and moderate CEC of chlorite and illite resulted in the high adsorption of heavy metals. The adsorption of the heavy metals on spilite soil zones was studied at different concentrations and pH levels. Heavy metals like lead, cadmium, and copper were selected for adsorption studies considering their contribution as toxic metals in the environment. The initial solute concentrations ranged from 7.0 × 10−3 to 1.0 × 102 mg/L. The sorption behavior of Cd2+, Pb2+, and Cu2+ on soil zones of spilite was investigated using the batch equilibrium technique at 25°C. The characteristics of the adsorption process were investigated using Scatchard plot analysis (q/C vs. q) by the batch equilibrium technique at 25°C. In the adsorption of heavy metals, deviation from linearity in the plot of q/C versus q was observed, indicating the presence of multi-model interaction and non-Langmuirean behavior. When the Scatchard plot showed a deviation from linearity, greater emphasis was placed on the analysis of the adsorption data in terms of the Freundlich model, in order to construct the adsorption isotherms of the metal(s) at particular concentration(s) in solutions. The adsorption behavior of these metal ions on spilite soil zones is expressed by the Freundlich isotherms. Adsorption constants and correlation coefficients for the Cd, Pb, and Cu on spilite soil zones were calculated from Freundlich plots. 相似文献
