Effects of iron limitation on intracellular cadmium of cultured phytoplankton: Implications for surface dissolved cadmium to phosphate ratios

This study compares intracellular Cd content (Cd:C) of cultured marine phytoplankton grown under various Fe levels, with estimated particulate Cd:P ratios derived from regression slopes of Cd versus PO₄³⁻ relationships from a global dataset. A 66-fold difference in Cd:C ratios was observed among the seven species grown under identical Fe concentrations, with oceanic diatoms having the highest Cd quotas and prymesiophytes the lowest. Interestingly, all species significantly increased their Cd:C ratios under Fe-limitation (on average 2-fold). The global data set also showed that the mean estimated Cd:P ratio of surface water particulates in HNLC (high nutrient low chlorophyll) regions were approximately 2-fold higher than non-HNLC regions. A sequence of events are proposed to explain high Cd:P ratios in HNLC waters. First, the seasonal relief from Fe-limitation in HNLC regions leads to blooms of large chain forming diatoms with high intrinsic Cd:P ratios. These large blooms may, in theory, deplete surface water CO₂ and Zn concentrations, which ultimately, would result in increased Cd uptake. Eventually these blooms will run out of Fe, which has been shown to further increase intercellular Cd via growth biodilution and increased Cd uptake through non-specific Fe(II) transporters. Ultimately, Fe-limited diatoms with enhanced Cd quotas will sink out of surface waters leading to pronounced regional differences in Cd:P ratios between HNLC and non-HNLC waters in the global ocean.     

Enhancement of edges of Sidi Chennane phosphate “disturbances” using sunshading responses of resistivity data

Sunshading is a powerful tool for the enhancement of edges in images. Given the azimuth and elevation of a source illumination, it calculates the reflectance from a surface which is composed of the data to be interpreted. It is a standard tool used in the interpretation of geophysical potential field data. In the great Oulad Abdoun phosphate basin, inclusions of sterile hardpan — so-called “disturbances” — are hard to detect as they interfere with phosphates. Their resistivity is above 200 Ohmm against 80 to 150 Ohmm for a phosphate-rich mineral. A Schlumberger resistivity survey over an area of 50 hectares was carried out. The geologic setting was successfully modeled on the basis of sunshaded maps of disturbances. A new field procedure was tested to deal with the extended edges of anomalous zones of phosphate deposit disturbances. Phosphate reserves were estimated more reliably.

混合酸分解-电感耦合等离子体质谱法测定磷矿石中15种稀土元素

磷矿石中伴生的大量稀土,是继离子型稀土矿后重要的稀土后备资源。对磷矿石稀土元素分析测定方法的研究具有重要意义。本实验采用盐酸-硝酸-氢氟酸-硫酸体系消解、王水提取,建立了应用电感耦合等离子质谱法(ICP-MS)测定磷矿石中15种稀土元素的分析方法。经优化实验选取了合适的称样量以保证分析结果的准确可靠。选择合适的分析同位素及采用干扰校正方程以消除质谱干扰,利用103Rh为内标元素,有效抑制了分析信号的动态漂移,用于测定磷矿石国家标准物质中的15种稀土元素,方法的检出限为0.001~0.021μg/g,精密度均小于6.0%(n=12),加标回收率在95.7%~108.0%。适合推广运用于大批量磷矿石中稀土分量的快速分析     

电感耦合等离子体发射光谱法测定磷矿石中磷镁铝铁

运用电感耦合等离子体发射光谱法(ICP-AES)分析磷矿石样品中的多元素,通常采用氢氟酸+盐酸+硝酸混合酸分解石样品,其中的氢氟酸是为了彻底分解地质样品中以硅酸盐形式存在的待测元素,但赶除氢氟酸的程序繁琐。本文在实际工作中发现,仅需测定磷矿石中的磷、镁、铝、铁元素时,可不加氢氟酸,四种元素的分析结果已能满足要求,这可能是与样品处理过程中生成的少量氢氟酸有关。为了验证不加氢氟酸的样品分解能力,采用浓硝酸-浓盐酸混合酸(体积比1∶1)加热分解试样,稀酸浸取,溶液冷却定容后直接用ICP-AES测定。分析结果显示溶样酸中是否含有氢氟酸,对磷、镁、铝、铁的测定结果不存在显著影响。方法检出限为磷100μg/g、镁0.3μg/g、铝20μg/g和铁6μg/g。经国家一级标准物质分析验证,方法精密度(RSD)小于5.0%,相对误差小于1.5%。本方法针对性强,分析快速准确,适用于实际工作中不包括钙和硅元素在内的磷矿石简项测定。     

湖泊沉积物对磷的吸附特征及其吸附热力学参数

在模拟条件下研究了属于不同营养水平的3个沉积物吸附磷等温线、动力学和热力学参数,比较了不同沉积物吸附磷的差别。结论如下:（1）在本研究条件下,五里湖沉积物吸附磷的Qmax、K、NAP和EPC0均高于东太湖和贡湖沉积物,而m却较低。东太湖和贡湖沉积物与其上覆水间基本保持磷吸附-解吸动态平衡状态,五里湖沉积物有向上覆水释放磷的趋势;（2）沉积物吸附磷主要发生在0⁰.5h之内,此时间段吸附速率为贡湖沉积物与东太湖沉积物相差不大,均高于五里湖沉积物;（3）温度对五里湖沉积物吸附磷影响相对较小,而对贡湖和东太湖沉积物影响较大。     

湖北省磷矿资源的空间富集规律及其产业布局

湖北省的磷矿资源储量居全国之首,矿床类型以元古宙海相沉积型磷块岩矿床为主,分布集中在五大区域,开发利用条件较好。虽然湖北的磷矿资源勘查近年取得了突破性的进展,但由于资源利用合理度欠缺、磷化工企业规模小、产业链不完善及产业集中度低等原因,对磷矿开发和磷化工产业的可持续发展构成了制约。磷矿资源的合理开发利用对建设磷矿开发及磷化工产业集群、保障国家粮食安全具有重要意义。因此,在勘查部署上,要根据成矿条件、空间富集规律和勘查开发现状,统一部署,分类开展工作;在产业布局上,以宜昌、保康、荆襄、黄麦岭4大磷化工基地为主体,新建鹤峰、黄梅磷肥基地,打造"一圈多点"式产业集群;在产业关联上,新建磷矿产地与现有磷化工基地之间形成以老带新、以新助老、空间互动的产业格局;在产品分工上,支持现有磷化工基地内的骨干企业兼并重组,提高产业集中度。     

Environmental and land use factors affecting phosphate hysteresis patterns of stream water during flood events (Carpathian Foothills,Poland)

Flood events play a substantial role in the circulation of catchment phosphate (PO₄^3?). The purpose of the research was to analyze the factors determining PO₄^3? hysteresis patterns (direction and width) during four types of floods: short and long rainfall floods and snowmelt floods on frozen and thawed soil. The research took place in small catchments (forested, agricultural, mixed‐use) in the Carpathian Foothills in Poland. Anticlockwise hysteresis was identified in the forested catchment during short and long rainfall floods. Under the same conditions, the clockwise direction was observed in the agricultural catchment. In the mixed‐use catchment, the direction of PO₄^3? hysteresis loops was various, driven by the share of water flowing from each part of the catchment. For snowmelt floods, the PO₄^3? hysteresis pattern was similar in all the streams studied (usually clockwise). The direction of PO₄^3? hysteresis loops depends on water circulation patterns, which are determined by the different influx times of particular runoff components. The stream recharge mechanism during a flood event is affected both by the factor initiating the event (precipitation, snowmelt) as well as by land use in the given catchment. Hysteresis loop width was determined by the pool of PO₄^3? in a given catchment during the time period immediately preceding a flood event as well as by the quantity of PO₄^3? flushed out of the soil. The greater a catchment's pool of PO₄^3? and the greater its ability to flush PO₄^3? out of the soil and into surface flow, the wider the hysteresis loops.
