论地壳中砷丰度的不均一性与高砷地下水分布的关系

在过去的二十多年以来,世界各地越来越多的地区不断地发现高砷＞50ug/L地下水.饮用高砷水危害到几千万人口的健康,尤其在亚洲.学术界普遍认为区域性高砷水的分布不一定与沉积物源区的岩石的砷含量有关.文章对此观点提出疑问和修正.这主要是基于砷在地壳中的分布与地壳的构造历史有着较明显的空间系统关系.在岩浆岩、沉积岩和变质岩体中,砷的浓度范围为＜1mg/kg到＞100mg/kg.并且砷浓度的分布不为正态,平均值与中值有差异.砷丰度在晶岩中分布的不均一性主要是由于富砷矿物的含量高.目前岩石中砷浓度的数据较少,不足以用于研究砷异常分布,如异常分布图的制定.但是,高砷的硫化物矿物普遍存在于中国的金矿中,而且其分布与板块碰撞的造山带有密切关系.在日本新近的上地壳中,砷(与锡)的丰度均超出地球上地壳的平均值.这里的砷异常已被解释为源于海相沉积物.因此文章提出地壳中的砷高异常与不均一性成因的假说:即海洋-大陆型碰撞之后再加上大陆-大陆型碰撞的不断富集过程.富砷矿物包括硫化物、氧化物及硅酸盐(较少见).这些富砷矿物在风化之后,被下游的快速沉降的盆地积累,使这些地区较易产生高砷地下水.文章指出两个未来研究方向:源区岩石砷的浓度及矿物学研究,和风化作用及沉积过程的研究,以便确证地表中砷的丰度异常与高砷地下水分布的关系.     

河套平原临河区高砷地下水分布及水化学特征

文章通过地质环境、地下水野外调查以及水质分析测试等方法手段,较系统地研究和分析了河套平原临河区高砷地下水的分布及水化学特征。结果表明,该区高砷地下水主要分布在调查区的西北部,在区域上属于河套平原的沉积中心地带,局部呈小片状分布,短距离内地下水中的砷含量变化较大;该区砷含量≥0.05mg/L的地下水绝大部分为微咸水(TDS为1～3g/L),个别为淡水(TDS<1g/L)和咸水(TDS为3～10g/L),其氧化还原电位(ORP)均显示负值的还原环境。通过与非高砷区的对比研究,高砷区地下水中的铁含量超标率明显高于非高砷区(58%),达到91.3%。研究认为该区域高砷地下水的形成与沉积环境和沉积物的特征有很大的关系。     

长江中游河湖平原浅层地下水中砷空间异质性的同位素指示

近年来陆续有报道发现长江中游河湖平原广泛分布着高砷地下水,鄱阳湖平原与江北平原（古彭蠡泽）作为长江中游南北两岸典型的河湖平原,其地下水资源丰富,但砷的空间分布规律尚不清楚,区域供水安全存在风险.本研究在两个区域系统采集98个浅层地下水（< 40 m）样品和8个地表水样品,通过水化学、氢氧稳定同位素分析,查明地下水中砷的空间分布异质性及其影响因素.研究发现江北平原浅层地下水砷含量为0.65~956.72 μg/L（平均值210.78 μg/L）,高砷地下水集中分布于长江古河道;鄱阳湖平原浅层地下水砷含量为0.09~267.45 μg/L（平均值11.85 μg/L）,高砷地下水仅分布于赣江三角洲局部地区.江北平原地下水δD与δ18O值相对鄱阳湖平原更偏负,且与地表水的差异更大.地下水化学及主成分分析结果表明物源和含水层结构差异是影响鄱阳湖平原和江北平原砷空间分布异质性的关键因素,来自长江物源的古彭蠡泽区域沉积物为高砷含水层的形成提供了物质来源,湖相含水层中含砷铁氧化物的还原性溶解是地下水砷富集的主要过程.地下水氢氧稳定同位素指示江北平原较鄱阳湖平原地下水赋存环境更封闭,地下水循环交替速度缓慢,有利于砷的富集.      

江汉平原高砷地下水监测场砷的动态变化特征分析

江汉平原高砷地下水的发现引起了广泛关注,通过对该区域高砷地下水监测场不同深度不同季节地下水样品的分析,揭示了地下水的水化学特征及高砷地下水的垂向分布规律。同时,结合地下水和地表水的水位波动,探讨了地下水中砷含量的动态变化特征。结果表明：地下水水化学类型主要为HCO3 Ca·Mg型,为强的还原性地下水环境,Fe、Mn含量高。大部分监测点都是25 m监测井水中砷的含量最高。地下水中砷含量的季节性动态变化特征与地下水水位密切相关。10 m监测井砷含量与水位变化的关系最明显,随着水位的下降（抬升）,地下水砷含量出现明显的降低（升高）响应。25 m和50 m监测井地下水中砷含量的动态变化与测压水位的动态变化不完全同步,存在一定的滞后效应,且含水层深度越大,滞后效应越明显。     

高砷地下水研究的热点及发展趋势

全球范围内广泛分布的高砷地下水给人们的健康造成了极大的威胁.高砷地下水的形成机理是一项世界性的科学问题.介绍了高砷地下水的分布特点、富集机理,阐明了溶解性有机物、地下水流动特征对高砷地下水形成的影响机制.现今的研究揭示了有机物和微生物协同作用下高砷地下水的形成过程,并且在高砷地下水的空间分布、时间变化特征以及人类活动对高砷地下水形成的影响等方面取得了一些创新性成果.这3方面的研究也逐渐成为近些年高砷地下水研究的热点.这些研究不仅丰富了砷迁移转化的理论成果,而且有助于开辟低砷水源,保障水资源的可持续利用,具有重要的理论和现实意义.     

原生高砷地下水的类型、化学特征及成因

由于分布广、危害大,原生高砷地下水严重威胁全球内数亿居民的身体健康。研究原生高砷地下水的分布、化学特征及成因有助于进一步理解地下水中砷的迁移转化规律,并确保高砷区地下水的可持续利用。在查阅大量文献资料的基础上,结合近10年的高砷地下水研究经验,把原生高砷地下水分为还原性中性高砷地下水（Ⅰ 1型）和还原性弱碱性高砷地下水（Ⅰ 2型）、氧化性弱碱性高砷地下水（Ⅱ型）和氧化性弱酸性高砷地下水（Ⅲ型）。Ⅰ 1型高砷地下水主要分布于河流三角洲地区,Ⅰ 2型分布于干旱半干旱封闭内陆盆地,Ⅱ型主要分布于干旱半干旱平原盆地,Ⅲ型主要分布于富含黄铁矿或硫化物矿物的基岩地区。Ⅰ 1型高砷地下水处于还原环境,pH呈中性,Fe/Mn氧化物矿物的还原性溶解是造成As富集的主要原因。Ⅰ 2型高砷地下水处于还原环境,pH呈弱碱性,除了Fe/Mn氧化物矿物的还原性溶解外,As的解吸附是含水层中砷释放的重要原因。Ⅱ型高砷地下水处于氧化弱氧化环境,pH呈弱碱性,As的解吸附是含水层中砷释放的主要原因。Ⅲ型高砷地下水处于氧化环境,pH呈弱酸性,黄铁矿及其他硫化物矿物的氧化溶解导致了含水层中砷的释放。对于Ⅰ 2型高砷地下水,需要深入研究Fe/Mn氧化物矿物的还原性溶解以及As的解吸附对地下水砷富集的相对贡献量。     

内蒙古河套平原地下咸水与高砷水分布特征

通过实地调查、资料分析和试验测试等方法手段,详细研究了内蒙古河套平原地下咸水与高砷水的分布特征。结果表明:河套平原分布有大量的咸水和高砷地下水,在调查研究区12510.83 km2的范围内,深度在10~40 m的浅层地下水中,分布有淡水1145.75 km2、微咸水9025.51 km2、咸水盐水2339.57 km2,分别占研究区总面积的9.16%、72.14%和18.70%;在淡水区、微咸水区和咸水盐水区,分别存在有233.85 km2、2965.74 km2和997.16 km2的高砷(As≥0.05 mg/L)地下水,占各类水面积的20.41%、32.86%和42.62%;咸水体分别呈南北两个条带状分布,北部的咸水体自西向东,宽度约5~10 km,在东部地区表现为上淡下咸的水质结构,南部咸水体分布在总引水干渠北侧呈东西条带状分布,西部较窄,东部变宽;高砷水的分布有明显的东西分区特征,东部区的高砷水多呈不规则的片状分布,范围较广,水中砷含量差异较小,西部区的高砷水沿山前低洼地带呈北东向的条带状分布,水中砷含量高,分布面积较为集中。研究表明:地下水中的盐分含量与砷含量不存在正相关关系,但是,西北部地区高砷地下水的分布与咸水区有一定关系,认为均受控于构造,而东部地区高砷水的分布则与咸水无关。     

基于随机森林建模预测河套盆地高砷地下水风险分布

河套盆地浅层地下水砷污染严重,对当地居民健康造成严重影响。当前对河套盆地浅层地下水高砷分布的研究受限于采样时间和样本数量,难以从宏观角度对河套盆地高砷地下水的空间分布作出较为全面的评价。本文基于研究区506个浅层地下水样品,以9个地表环境参数为初始预测变量,经过最佳变量组合筛选,采用随机森林建模来产生风险概率,评价了预测变量的重要性以及对高砷地下水的影响。以气候因子为动态预测变量,根据模型识别不同季节地下水高砷的概率分布并制作了风险区专题图。结果表明：研究区的地下水样品砷含量为0.05~916.7μg/L,超标率（砷浓度>10μg/L）为50%;地下水高砷风险区主要分布在河套盆地的沉积中心地带,但冬季高砷风险区面积减少1907km²,占研究区总面积14.14%;降水、干旱指数、排灌渠影响、潜在蒸散、温度是影响高砷地下水最重要的指标。研究认为,河套盆地的气候变量（降水、干旱指数）与含水层砷含量显著相关,控制高砷地下水在河套盆地的沉积中心地带发生季节性变化。     

江汉平原高砷地下水监测场水化学特征及砷富集影响因素分析

江汉平原高砷地下水的发现引起了广泛的关注,通过对该区高砷地下水监测场39个地下水样品的分析,揭示了高砷地下水的水化学特征。同时,结合沉积物砷含量分析和高砷地下水的垂向分布特征,探讨了地下水中砷富集的影响因素。结果表明,地下水水化学类型主要为HCO3-Ca·Mg型,pH值为中性偏弱碱性,Fe、Mn质量浓度很高。25m深度的监测井水中砷质量浓度最高,对应的沉积物中总砷质量浓度也较高。井水中浓烈的H2S气味,偏负的氧化还原电位,高质量浓度的NH4-N、溶解有机碳(DOC)、HCO-3、S2-与低质量浓度的NO-3、SO2-4均指示该区为典型的富含有机质的还原性地下水环境。该条件下沉积物中有机物质的生物降解作用和铁锰氧化物、铁锰氢氧化物的还原是江汉平原高砷地下水形成的主要原因。     

大同盆地地下水高砷、氟、碘分布规律与成因分析及质量区划

为了对大同盆地地下水中砷、氟、碘等的分布和成因进行分析,开展地下水质量区划,依据地下水污染调查取得的最新系列测试数据,结合以往水文地质和水文地球化学研究成果,编制大同盆地浅层和中深层地下水砷含量、氟含量、碘含量等水化学特征分布图,以直观反映大同盆地地下水高砷、高氟、高碘区的空间分布规律; 通过分析pH值、硫酸根含量、硝酸根含量、铁含量、锰含量与砷的关系,探讨高砷水的形成原因; 根据pH值、钙离子、重碳酸氢根离子与氟的关系,分析氟超标原因; 指出高碘区与高氟区分布的相似性和成因的相似性。研究结果表明,盆地周边高砷、高氟岩层是地下水砷、氟的原生来源,特定的河湖相沉积环境则为砷、碘的富集提供了原生地质条件; 北部地区氟增高与地下水位下降致使黏性土中的氟离子进入含水层有关,中部地区高氟与土壤盐渍化有关; 中部富含淤泥质黏土的湖相地层是碘富集的原生地质因素,冲积洼地地下水径流条件滞缓是碘富集的水动力因素; 干旱气候条件下强烈的蒸发浓缩作用亦是高氟、高碘地下水形成的重要因素。依据砷、氟、碘、硝酸盐、亚硝酸盐、总含盐量(total dissolved salt,TDS)、总硬度、氨氮等单组分含量分布,利用GIS空间分析功能,进行了大同盆地浅层和中深层地下水质量区划,可为当地地下水开发利用提供地学依据。     

Principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster analyses of arsenic groundwater geochemistry in the Hetao basin,Inner Mongolia

Although high As groundwater has been observed in shallow groundwater of the Hetao basin, little is known about As distribution in deep groundwater. Quantitative investigations into relationships among chemical properties and among samples in different areas were carried out. Ninety groundwater samples were collected from deep aquifers of the northwest of the basin. Twenty-two physicochemical parameters were obtained for each sample. Statistical methods, including principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), were used to analyze those data. Results show that As species were highly correlated with Fe species, NH₄-N and pH. Furthermore, result of PCA indicates that high As groundwater was controlled by geological, reducing and oxic factors. The samples are classified into three clusters in HCA, which corresponded to the alluvial fans, the distal zone and the flat plain. Moreover, the combination of PCA with HCA shows the different dominant factors in different areas. In the alluvial fans, groundwater is influenced by oxic factors, and low As concentrations are observed. In the distal zone, groundwater is under suboxic conditions, which is dominated by reducing and geological factors. In the flat plain, groundwater is characterized by reducing conditions and high As concentrations, which is dominated by the reducing factor. This investigations indicate that deep groundwater in the alluvial fans mostly contains low As concentrations but high NO₃ and U concentrations, and needs to be carefully checked prior to being used for drinking water sources.     

贵德盆地三河流域高砷地下水中溶解性有机物三维荧光特性及其指示意义

溶解性有机物(dissolved organic matter, DOM)可以通过多种方式控制含水层中砷的迁移转化。贵德盆地承压含水层地下水砷含量显著高于潜水含水层。为查明承压水中溶解性有机物对砷浓度的影响,对研究区地表水、潜水以及承压水进行吸光度和三维荧光光谱的分析,利用平行因子分析法确定了水样中有机物成分及荧光特征。结果表明,贵德盆地水体中DOM包含陆源类腐殖质(C1)、受人为影响的腐殖质(C2)、类醌化合物(C3)和微生物来源的腐殖质(C4)4种组分。陆源类腐殖质C1可在地下水中富集,占总有机质的40%~55%。相比于地下水,C2和C3则在地表水中占据较高的比例。高砷承压水中C2、C3所占比例高于低砷潜水。其中,C1可以通过络合作用促进溶解性砷浓度的提高,C3作为电子穿梭体可以促进含砷铁氧化物或氢氧化物的还原性溶解从而释放砷。微生物降解有机质生成的HCO-3可以与砷竞争吸附,促进砷的解吸附。此外,还原性溶解产生的Fe(II)与HCO-3形成FeCO3固定一部分的砷。该研究表明,地下水中的天然有机物通过络合作用和作为电子穿梭体促进铁氧化物还原导致地下水砷的富集,为分析黄河上游地区高砷地下水的成因提供理论依据。     

高砷地下水中溶解性有机碳和无机碳稳定同位素特征

随着稳定同位素分析技术的逐步完善,碳稳定同位素被广泛应用于地球化学领域。高砷地下水砷的生物地球化学循环是目前环境化学研究热点之一。分析概括了碳稳定同位素应用于地下水领域的研究现状,介绍了地下水中有机碳和无机碳稳定同位素的前处理方法以及测试技术。在此基础上,选取了内蒙古河套平原具有代表性的高砷地下水进行氧化还原敏感组分、碳稳定同位素的测定与分析。结果表明,As分布极不均匀,其含量为1.24~387 μg/L。地下水溶解性有机碳(DOC)含量相对较高,与溶解性无机碳(DIC)浓度基本呈正相关。δ¹³C_DIC相对δ¹³C_DOC较富集¹³C;δ¹³C_DIC-δ¹³C_DOC与δ¹³C_DIC之间具有显著的正相关关系;表明δ¹³C_DIC值越贫化,δ¹³C_DIC-δ¹³C_DOC越小,地下水中来源于有机物氧化分解的无机碳越多,进一步说明有机碳的氧化分解在无机碳稳定同位素贫化过程中起主要作用。此外,δ¹³C_DIC-δ¹³C_DOC与As浓度呈一定的负相关关系;表明有机物的微生物降解对砷的富集具有明显的促进作用。微生物可利用的碳源增加,促进异养微生物的代谢,并消耗氧气,最终形成有利于地下水As富集的还原环境。     

Geochemical distribution of arsenic,cadmium, lead and zinc in river sediments affected by tailings in Zimapán,a historical polymetalic mining zone of México

High arsenic (As) groundwater is widely distributed in northwestern Hetao Plain, an arid region with sluggish groundwater flow. Observed As concentration in groundwater from wells ranges from 76 to 1,093 μg/l. Most water samples have high total dissolved solids, with Cl and HCO₃ as the dominant anions and Na as the dominant cation. The major hydrochemical types of most saline groundwaters are Na–Mg–Cl–HCO₃ and Na–Mg–Cl. By contrast, fresh groundwaters generally belong to the Na–Mg–HCO₃ type. High concentrations of arsenic in shallow aquifers are associated with strongly reducing conditions, as evidenced by high concentrations of dissolved organic carbon, ammonium, as well as dissolved sulfide and Fe, dominance of arsenite, relatively low concentrations of nitrate and sulfate, and occasionally high content of dissolved methane (CH₄). High As groundwaters from different places at Hetao Plain experienced different redox processes. Fluoride is also present in high As groundwater, ranging between 0.40 and 3.36 mg/l. Although fluorosis poses an additional health problem in the region, it does not correlate well with As in spatial distribution. Geochemical analysis indicates that evapotranspiration is an important process controlling the enrichment of Na and Cl, as well as trace elements such as As, B, and Br in groundwater.

Geochemical occurrence of arsenic,vanadium and fluoride in groundwater of Patagonia,Argentina: Sources and mobilization processes

Contamination of groundwater in different parts of the world is a result of natural and/or anthropogenic sources, leading to adverse effects on human health and the ecosystem. In Península Valdés, where groundwater is the only source of supply, high concentrations of As and F- were registered. Since it is a region without industrial activity, an analysis of possible natural sources of contamination is necessary. The aim of this study is to analyse the hydrological processes that determines the presence and mobilization of those elements through the analysis of the mineralogy of the aquifer sediments and the ionic water relationships. The productive aquifer, dominated by psamites, coquinas and siltstone is located between 29 and 42 m below ground surface. The hydrochemistry studied from 105 sampling points, shows that groundwater is dominated by Na-Cl ions and, in the fresh water sectors, the ionic type is Na-HCO3 to Na-Cl. In 17 of these samples, Zn, Cr, Mn, As, V, Sr, Fe, F ions were measured and As and F contents above the potability limit were recorded. These contents vary between 0.01 and 0.40 mg/L in As and between 0.31 and 4 in F- which are both associated with elevated V values. The optical petrographic microscope observations and the X-ray diffraction measurements show that the sediments are dominated by volcanic lithic fragments, volcanic glass shards and quartz, plagioclase, pyroxenes and magnetite clasts. The scanning electron microscopy, combined with the energy dispersive X-ray analysis, shows that the highest concentrations of As are associated with volcanic shards and iron oxides. The combined analysis of all these elements leads to conclude that the processes which explain the presence of those ions are a result of the interaction of groundwater with the components of the aquifer sediments. At alkaline pH, the high solubility of the amorphous silica of vitreous shards allows the release of As, V and F- ions towards the solution. Thus, adsorption-desorption processes can also control the presence of these ions in groundwater. Both As and V (in solution in the form of oxyanions) can be adsorbed by iron oxides, while F- anions have more affinity to be adsorbed by the carbonate facies, some of them re-precipitated as a result of the increase in pH. The identified hydrogeological processes provide information for the planning of water purification measures that tend to improve the water resources management in a large arid region of Patagonia.     

Mobility of arsenic in West Bengal aquifers conducting low and high groundwater arsenic. Part I: Comparative hydrochemical and hydrogeological characteristics

The present study demonstrates the importance of hydrogeochemical characteristics (groundwater flow and recharge) of an aquifer in the release of As to groundwater. The study area (∼20 km²) is located in Chakdaha block, Nadia district, West Bengal, which hosts groundwaters of variable As content. The spatial distribution pattern of As is patchy with areas containing groundwater that is high in As (>200 μg L⁻¹) found in close vicinity to low As (<50 μg L⁻¹) groundwaters (within 100 m). The concentration of groundwater As is found to decrease with depth. In addition, the data shows that there is no conspicuous relationship between high groundwater As concentration and high groundwater abstraction, although the central cone of depression has enlarged over 2 a and is extending towards the SE of the study area. The river Hooghly, which forms the NW boundary of the study site, shows dual behaviour (effluent and influent during pre- and post-monsoon periods, respectively), complicating the site hydrogeology. The observed groundwater flow lines tend to be deflected away from the high As portion of the aquifer, indicating that groundwater movement is very sluggish in the As-rich area. This leads to a high residence time for this groundwater package, prolonging sediment–water interaction, and hence facilitating groundwater As release.     

Arsenic Distribution Pattern in Different Sources of Drinking Water and their Geological Background in Guanzhong Basin,Shaanxi, China

To study arsenic(As) content and distribution patterns as well as the genesis of different kinds of water, especially the different sources of drinking water in Guanzhong Basin, Shaanxi province, China, 139 water samples were collected at 62 sampling points from wells of different depths, from hot springs, and rivers. The As content of these samples was measured by the intermittent flowhydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry method(HG-AFS). The As concentrations in the drinking water in Guanzhong Basin vary greatly(0.00–68.08 μg/L), and the As concentration of groundwater in southern Guanzhong Basin is different from that in the northern Guanzhong Basin. Even within the same location in southern Guanzhong Basin, the As concentrations at different depths vary greatly. As concentration of groundwater from the shallow wells(50 m deep, 0.56–3.87 μg/L) is much lower than from deep wells(110–360 m deep, 19.34–62.91 μg/L), whereas As concentration in water of any depth in northern Guanzhong Basin is 10 μg/L. Southern Guanzhong Basin is a newly discovered high-As groundwater area in China. The high-As groundwater is mainly distributed in areas between the Qinling Mountains and Weihe River; it has only been found at depths ranging from 110 to 360 m in confined aquifers, which store water in the Lishi and Wucheng Loess(Lower and Middle Pleistocene) in the southern Guanzhong Basin. As concentration of hot spring water is 6.47–11.94 μg/L; that of geothermal water between 1000 and 1500 m deep is 43.68–68.08 μg/L. The high-As well water at depths from 110 to 360 m in southern Guanzhong Basin has a very low fluorine(F) value, which is generally 0.10 mg/L. Otherwise, the hot springs of Lintong and Tangyu and the geothermal water in southern Guanzhong Basin have very high F values(8.07–14.96 mg/L). The results indicate that highAs groundwater in depths from 110 to 360 m is unlikely to have a direct relationship with the geothermal water in the same area. As concentration of all reservoirs and rivers(both contaminated and uncontaminated) in the Guanzhong Basin is 10 μg/L. This shows that pollution in the surface water is not the source of the high-As in the southern Guanzhong Basin. The partition boundaries of the high- and low-As groundwater area corresponds to the partition boundaries of the tectonic units in the Guanzhong Basin. This probably indicates that the high-As groundwater areas can be correlated to their geological underpinning and structural framework. In southern Guanzhong Basin, the main sources of drinking water for villages and small towns today are wells between 110–360 m deep. All of their As contents exceed the limit of the Chinese National Standard and the International Standard(10 μg/L) and so local residents should use other sources of clean water that are 50 m deep, instead of deep groundwater(110 to 360 m) for their drinking water supply.     

北方典型内陆盆地高砷地下水的水化学特征及处理技术

我国高砷地下水分布广泛,是受砷污染最严重的地区之一,严重危害居民身体健康,开发经济、高效、环境友好的高砷地下水修复治理技术极具必要性。以大同盆地、呼包平原、河套平原和银川平原为代表性研究区域,归纳总结了北方干旱、半干旱地区典型高砷地下水区水化学特征。通常情况下,高砷地下水的pH值较高,共存阴离子(HCO^-3、SO^2-₄和Cl^-)浓度较大,溶解性有机碳含量较高,并且As(Ⅲ)为主要砷形态。开展了针对北方典型高砷地下水特定水化学环境特点(如pH值、共存阴阳离子以及溶解性有机物等)的改性天然菱铁矿除砷性能研究。结果表明,改性天然菱铁矿对溶液pH值具有良好的缓冲能力,其除砷性能基本不受pH值、共存阴离子、Ca/Mg阳离子及以腐殖酸为代表的溶解性有机物等典型高砷地下水水化学特征因素的影响,表明吸附剂对砷具有良好的吸附选择性。另外,改性天然菱铁矿对As(Ⅲ)的去除效果优于对As(V)的去除效果,因此,利用改性天然菱铁矿作为反应介质材料,将其应用于处理主要以As(Ⅲ)形式存在的高砷地下水具备良好的发展前景。     

Factor and cluster analysis of water quality data of the groundwater wells of Kushtia, Bangladesh: Implication for arsenic enrichment and mobilization

The study area is located in the southwestern part of Bangladesh. Twenty-six groundwater samples were collected from both shallow and deep tube wells ranging in depth from 20 to 60 m. Multivariate statistical analyses including factor analysis, cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling were applied to the hydrogeochemical data. The results show that a few factors adequately represent the traits that define water chemistry. The first factor of Fe and HCO₃ is strongly influenced by bacterial Fe (III) reduction which would raise both Fe and HCO₃ concentrations in water. Na, Cl, Ca, Mg and PO₄ are grouped under the second factor representing the salinity sources of waters. The third factor, represented by As, Mn, SO₄ and K is related to As mobilization processes. Cluster analysis has been applied for the interpretation of the groundwater quality data. Initially Piper methods have been employed to obtain a first idea on the water types in the study area. Hierarchical cluster analysis was carried out for further classification of water types in the study area. Twelve components, namely, pH, Fe, Mn, As, Ca, Mg, Na, K, HCO₃, Cl, SO₄ and NO₃ have been used for this purpose. With hierarchical clustering analysis the water samples have been classified into 3 clusters. They are very high, high and moderately As-enriched groundwater as well as groundwater with elevated SO₄.     

内蒙古河套平原高砷地下水中稀土元素含量及分异特征

高砷地下水是世界范围内的一个重大环境问题。尽管已有工作在高砷地下水的地球化学特征、形成条件和富砷机理等方面取得了很大进展,但其稀土元素(REE)含量及分异特征却一直不清楚,这就限制了稀土方法在评价此类地下水中的应用。在对内蒙古河套盆地地下水样品进行现场测试、实验室分析检测的基础上,我们发现高砷地下水的REE浓度较低。对地下水REE浓度依照北美页岩平均组分(NASC)进行归一化处理后,我们发现大部分水样富集重稀土元素(HREEs),而贫化轻稀土元素(LREEs)。HREEs的富集与地下水中碳酸根对于REE的络合作用密切相关,而弱碱性环境下REE的再吸附可导致LREEs的贫化。所有地下水样表现为Eu正异常,其中大部分表现为Ce负异常。Eu正异常似乎与铁锰氧化物的还原性溶解和解吸附有关,地下水As浓度随[Eu]NASC的升高而升高。从某种意义上说,还原性含水系统中Eu正异常的程度也许可以反映地下水As的富集程度。
