石灰岩发育土壤团聚体形成机制研究

土壤团聚体是土壤最基本的结构单元。为了解岩溶地区石灰岩发育土壤团聚体的形成机制,选择贵阳市花溪区花溪水库石灰岩所发育的土壤为材料,采用干、湿筛法,分析团聚体颗粒的分级情况,并比较拆分有机质与钙镁铁铝离子间连接后四种离子含量的变化以及团聚体各粒级含量的变化。结果显示:团聚体是由细小颗粒在胶结物质有机质与钙镁铁铝离子结合下形成微团聚体,进一步形成更大粒级的团聚体,最后在分子力的作用下粘结土粒或者其他团聚体形成完整的团聚体结构;有机质与钙离子的结合是团聚体形成的主要胶结物质,其次为有机质与镁铁离子的结合,有机制与铝离子的结合作用不大,这与石灰岩矿物主要是碳酸钙有关;研究区发育土壤大粒级水稳性团聚体含量相对较高,土壤抗蚀性好,抵抗侵蚀能力强。      

The role of metals in cooling gas behind shock fronts in the atmospheres of cool stars

The influence of various chemical elements on radiative cooling of the gas flowing from a viscous jump is investigated in a model with a stationary shock in the atmosphere of a cool star. A closed system of equations is written for the thermal energy per heavy particle, the electron temperature, and the relative concentrations of elements in all ionization states. In addition to hydrogen and helium, atomic, singly ionized, and doubly ionized carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, sulfur, potassium, calcium, and iron are included, assuming they have their normal cosmic abundances. The high optical depth in Lyman-series lines leads to a return of the thermal energy to electrons via secondary collisions. As a result, the contribution of hydrogen to the cooling rate falls to the level of the contribution of metals, mainly carbon, magnesium, and iron. Thus, such shock models are able to explain the presence of bright metal lines in the spectra of cool and solar-type stars.     

Calcium zoning in olivine and its relationship to silica activity and pressure

Microprobe analyses of olivine phenocrysts from nephelinite and basanite lavas show strong zoning toward calcium enrichment. Tholeiitic and other more siliceous lavas show little or no such calcium enrichment, but more extensive magnesium to iron zoning. Consideration of reactions between clinopyroxene and olivine indicate that silica activity as well as pressure is an important variable. Zoning trends toward calcium enrichment in olivine could be interpreted as a response to pressure release during crystallization. A normal, magnesium to iron, trend with no increase in calcium would, then, reflect crystallization with stable pressure conditions.     

Treatment of arsenic rich waters by the HDS process

Arsenic contaminated waters are not uncommon; indeed from naturally occurring contaminated waters through to those that are a direct consequence of human activities such as mining, all are affecting the quality of water resources worldwide. The ever increasing demands on natural water resources mean that the effective control of this toxic contaminant is paramount and this is reflected in the ever increasing global legislation.There are currently three mechanisms by which arsenic is commercially treated in effluents. These are physical separation processes such as reverse osmosis, precipitation/adsorption processes, some of which are bacterially assisted, and a whole variety of ion exchange processes, again with some bacterial enhancement. The choice of treatment is not only driven by cost but by the chemistry of the water and the water quality standard to be met.In this study a very high arsenic enriched groundwater, containing in excess of 25,000 µg/L arsenic, was treated by a typical treatment method through a continuously operated pilot plant. In the treatment, iron III salts were added to the influent in order to form precipitates with the arsenic and to form an adsorptive surface that would assist with treatment of the enriched water. This addition of iron III salts for the removal of arsenic is common practice in the water treatment industry as the resulting iron III arsenates are highly stable.However, results from the pilot plant show that the process was further enhanced by the addition of small amounts of hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful oxidising reagent and assists in ensuring the complete conversion of any arsenic III to arsenic V that was then effectively removed in the pilot plant. After treatment residual arsenic levels of 10 µg/L were obtained compared to 68 µg/L without oxidation reagent addition.     

中国东北浅覆盖区地质填图物化探信息协同辅助技术

针对中国东北浅覆盖区地质露头少、填图效率不高、精确度和准确度较低的问题,开发了物化探信息协同辅助技术并应用于地质体类型的识别。在以覆盖层较薄、面积广大、物理风化为主、土壤位移较小为特点的东北森林沼泽浅覆盖区,利用土壤化学成分和航磁信息识别下伏地质体是可行的。基于这一前提,可将指定研究区划分为一定数量的统计单元,在各单元内,通过数学统计方法产生众数、宽度、变化频率、偏度、峰度等航磁特征参数并将其标准化,将化探指标酸度、碱度、钙含量、铝含量、钙镁含量、硅铝含量、镁铁含量、微量元素含量等特征参数标准化;然后采用逐级分类的方法,每级选择有效的物化探特征参数,在当前级别上实现单元划分并将数据分为不同数据集,在下一级别划分时重新有针对地选择参数,分别对各数据集进一步分类,直到分类结果对应较明确的地质填图单元,并最终编制出解译图。以黑龙江省大兴安岭地区某典型森林沼泽浅覆盖区为例进行了方法验证,将结果与已知地质信息比对分析,认为地质体单元识别结果与已知信息基本吻合,使得地质体类型识别更精确,边界更清晰,可为区域地质研究提供新线索。

Effect of biodiesel on particulate numbers and composition emitted from turbocharged diesel engine

In present study a turbocharged, medium duty compression ignition engine was alternatively fuelled with biodiesel to investigate the changes in particulate matter composition, relative to that taken with diesel fuel. The engine was operated on an AC electrical dynamometer in accordance with an 8-mode, steady-state cycle. The numbers of particles were estimated through electrical low pressure impactor, while sulfates and trace metals were analyzed by ion chromatography and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy, respectively. Nitric oxides and nitrogen dioxides were measured separately using SEMTECH-DS. Experimental results revealed that, on account of elevated ratios of nitrogen dioxide to nitrogen oxides, mean accumulation mode particles were 42 % lower with biodiesel. On the other hand, nuclei mode particles were higher with biodiesel, owing to heterogeneous nucleation and accounting for an increase in sulfate emissions up to 8 % with biodiesel as compared to diesel. On the average, trace metal emissions were significantly reduced showing 65–85.4 % reduction rates with biodiesel, relative to its counterpart. Further to this, individual congeners such as iron, calcium, and sodium were the predominant elements of the trace metals emitted from engine. The mean relative decrease in iron and calcium was 89–97.8 and 77.6–87 %, respectively, while the relative rise in sodium was in the range of 29–46 % with biodiesel. Further, elements such as zinc, chromium, and aluminum showed substantial abatement, whereas potassium, magnesium, and manganese exhibited irregular trends on account of variable engine loads and speeds during the various modes of cycle.     

王水溶样-氢醌容量法测定碳酸盐地质样品中的金

应用王水溶样-活性炭富集金-氢醌容量法测定岩石、土壤等一般地质样品中的金时,王水溶样后经布氏漏斗抽滤后剩余的不溶物残渣中金含量小于金总量的4%,通常不计入分析结果。而碳酸盐地质样品经焙烧后在王水溶解过程中因为钙和镁的硅酸盐含量较高,形成了不溶于王水的二氧化硅凝胶及大量钙镁胶状物,包裹和吸附样品溶液中的金,造成分析过程中金的损失。本文将抽滤后的滤液和不溶物残渣分别处理,收集王水分解样品抽滤步骤后的不溶物残渣,用氢氟酸-硫酸除硅,王水溶解测定残渣中的金含量,滤液和残渣两次测试合量为样品中金含量。实验研究了不溶物残渣中的金量、金的来源以及样品中硅钙镁的含量对金测定的影响。结果表明,不溶物残渣吸附和包裹的金量占样品金总量的18%~22%,残渣中金的主要来源是已被王水溶解但被二氧化硅等胶状物包裹吸附而未进入溶液的金,其次是未被王水溶解的单质金。胶状物的形成与样品中钙镁硅含量有直接的关系,当CaCO₃、MgCO₃含量达到30%以上时,必须考虑残渣中的金,以保证金的测试结果准确。     

Simultaneous production of magnesium carbonate and calcium carbonate from dolomites and dolomitic limestones

By use of a recarbonation process, it is possible to separate magnesium carbonate and calcium carbonate from dolomites/dolomitic limestones. Magnesium carbonate can be used for manufacturing basic refractories and magnesium chemicals; the portion rich in calcium carbonate can be used for cement manufacture if the MgO content is below 3%. In this paper the process developed for the purpose and the results of bench scale tests are reported. The results indicate that, under optimum conditions, both objectives can be fulfilled by the recarbonation process.     

Microbial and chemical characterization of a groundwater flow system in an intermontane basin of southern New Mexico,USA

Groundwater of the southern Jornada del Muerto Basin, an intermontane basin structure associated with the Rio Grande rift located in south-central New Mexico, USA, was analyzed chemically and microbially. A microbial phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA) analysis revealed a sparse microbial population consisting of relatively simple microorganisms with no major population changes along the flow system. A nucleic acid (DNA) analysis of the groundwater resulted in the identification of ten eubacterial and one archeal species. Chemical analyses revealed that sulfate along with calcium, magnesium, iron, and manganese is removed by about an order of magnitude in concentration from the recharge area to the discharge area. The removal of iron, manganese, magnesium, and to some extent calcium can be explained by oxidation reactions and the precipitation of dolomite. Sulfate and additional calcium are most likely removed by the precipitation of gypsum. Thiobacillus spp. are oxidizing metal sulfides that occur as subsurface sulfide mineral deposits to sulfuric acid, which subsequently reacts with calcium carbonate and water to precipitate gypsum. The presence of these sulfide deposits exposed to oxygenated water in the deep groundwater flow system significantly alters its chemical and bacteriological composition. Electronic Publication     

Benefits and hurdles of using brackish groundwater as a drinking water source in the Netherlands

The production of fresh drinking water from brackish groundwater by reverse osmosis (BWRO) is becoming more attractive, even in temperate climates. For successful application of BWRO, the following approach is advocated: (1) select brackish source groundwater with a large volume and a composition that will yield a concentrate (waste water) with low mineral saturation; (2) maintain the feed water salinity at a constant level by pumping several wells with different salinities; (3) keep the permeate-to-concentrate ratio low, to avoid supersaturation in the concentrate; (4) keep the system anoxic (to avoid oxidation reactions) and pressurized (to prevent formation of gas bubbles); and (5) select a confined aquifer for deep well injection where groundwater quality is inferior to the membrane concentrate. This approach is being tested at two BWRO pilot plants in the Netherlands. Research issues are the pumping of a stable brackish source water, the reverse osmosis system performance, membrane fouling, quality changes in the target aquifer as a result of concentrate disposal, and clogging of the injection well. First evaluations of the membrane concentrate indicate that it is crucial to understand the kinetics of mineral precipitation on the membranes, in the injection wells, and in the target aquifer.     

中国辽宁金刚石中高硅钙铁榴石(Majorite)等超高压矿物包裹体的发现及地质意义

在中国辽宁金刚石中获得的高硅钙铁榴石(Majorite)为一单晶碎片包裹体,与其共存的金刚石包裹体还有刚玉、碳化钛、红色金刚石碎片、钙钛矿、二氧化硅等。通过电子探针成分分析,确定该高硅钙铁榴石(Majorite)成分超硅高钙缺镁,8个分析点平均值计算的矿物分子式为(Ca2.35Fe0.49Mn0.15Mg0.02)3.01(Al1.08Fe0.48Si0.44)2.00(SiO4)3,根据Kenneth等(2000)提出的计算压力的公式得到该包裹体高硅钙铁榴石(Majorite)形成的压力为14GPa,估算形成深度达400km。用四圆单晶衍射仪测定了该石榴石的晶体结构,a=1.195 15(4)nm,求得了各原子的座标、占位度和各向异性温度因子,用I>2σ(I),计算得到R1=0.077 9,WR2=0.141 6,Goodness-of-fit(F2)=1.382。在该高硅钙铁榴石包裹体中还存在微米级二氧化硅(呈四边形断面)和氧化铁(含钠)的包裹体(析离体),它们可能是斯石英和方铁矿(或似沂蒙矿)。从高硅钙铁榴石(Majorite)的成分判断,其物质来源具壳源性质,由此推断的大陆壳俯冲深度要超过400km,这与地球物理探测郯庐断裂已切穿了上地幔、进入软流圈的看法相一致。     

Chemical speciation of redox sensitive elements during hydrocarbon leaching in the Junggar Basin,Northwest China

Bleaching related to seepage of petroleum fluids and subsurface migration of crude oil and natural gas can alter the chemical and mineralogical properties of rocks, while concurrently depleting hydrocarbon reservoirs. Mud volcanoes constitute one type of petroleum seepage present in several areas on the southern margin of the Junggar Basin in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, NW China. The results of XRD, XRF, XANES, and Mössbauer spectroscopy on rock samples collected from areas affected by these mud volcanoes revealed an enrichment of certain minerals and elements, as well changes in mineralogical, molecular, or ionic carrier (“species”). After bleaching, reddish sedimentary rocks showed depletion in silica and enrichment of calcium, magnesium, manganese, and iron. Other elements, including aluminum, potassium, sodium, and titanium, were largely unchanged. Reduced iron and sulfur compounds predominated in the bleached rocks, producing changes in color from the original reddish into green, deep gray, and black. Iron and calcium were associated with carbonates, indicating carbonation of these elements during the bleaching processes. Manganese also appeared to be associated with carbonate, though not with sulfate even though sulfate was present in the bleached rocks. Alkaline conditions were apparently the dominant because reduced manganese would have been absent under acidic condition. The alteration of certain minerals, clay minerals in particular, was also observed in bleached rocks, the alteration of smectite-group minerals to chlorite and muscovite, for example. Mineralogical and geochemical changes in rocks bleached by hydrocarbon fluids could provide a better overall understanding of bleaching processes, and may have applications in surface geochemical exploitation and remote imaging.

钙、铁、铝形态对岩溶石灰土磷有效性的影响

为揭示钙、铁、铝形态与岩溶地区土壤磷有效性关系,通过改进的BCR元素形态连续提取法获取石灰土不同发育阶段土壤矿质元素赋存形态,并分析与总磷及速效磷含量之间的相关关系。初步研究表明:石灰土壤中全磷和速效磷在石灰土发育过程呈降低趋势,从黑色石灰土到黄色石灰土,总磷降低了76.7%,速效磷减少了84.7%。石灰土总磷与速效磷同酸溶态、可还原态及残渣态钙,可氧化态铁、铝和可还原态铝显著正相关,而同总铁、总铝以及残渣态铝显著负相关,相关系数绝对值均达到0.9以上。随着石灰土发育进行,钙总量及其形态均降低,而铝、铁总量和形态呈增加趋势,可能导致岩溶地区石灰土磷及其有效性缺乏越发突出。

澳大利亚西部哈默斯利铁成矿省BIF富铁矿的成矿特征与控矿因素

澳大利亚西部哈默斯利铁成矿省含有世界级高品位的赤铁矿体。主要铁矿床包括芒特维尔贝克、汤姆普莱斯山、帕拉伯杜等,它们均产于元古宙早期布罗克曼BIF型含铁建造中。高品住铁矿体的空间分布明显受到元古宙区域隆起和拉张环境下形成的古老正断层系统的控制。该成矿省高品位铁矿层的形成可分为3个阶段：第1阶段为深层阶段,该阶段硅从含铁建造中淋滤出来,留下薄层状富含铁氧化物、碳酸盐岩、硅酸镁和磷灰石的残余物;第2阶段为深部大气水氧化阶段,该阶段含铁建造的磁铁矿-菱镁矿组合被氧化为赤铁矿-铁白云石,并以发育假象赤铁矿为特征;第3阶段为浅层风化作用。通过对成矿特征和成矿模式的总结,认为成矿时代、断层、褶皱等构造特征及流体和表生风化作用是富铁矿床形成的主要控矿因素。     

A normative calculation technique for determining opal in deep-sea sediments

The opal content of deep-sea sediment can be estimated by subtracting non-biogenic silica, calculated from the aluminum and magnesium concentrations in the sediment, from the total silica content of the samples. Unlike most previously described methods, this calculation is capable of yielding reliable estimates of opal in pre-Pleistocene sediments because it is unaffected by structural changes that take place in opal as it ages.     

Development of functionalized carrageenan,chitosan and alginate as polymeric chelating ligands for water softening

Chitosan, carrageenan and alginate are among the most abundant biopolymers in nature. They were prepared in uniform beads shape with a diameter of 2 mm ± 10%, using the encapsulator for removal of calcium, magnesium and iron cations from hard water. Solutions of 100–500 mg/L were prepared from each cation, and the detection of cations was carried out using atomic absorption spectrometer. Carrageenan and chitosan were able to chelate the three cations without further modification. However, alginate beads succeeded to chelate iron and magnesium and failed to chelate any calcium ions; in contrast, it increased the initial calcium concentration! That could be due to the pre-cross-linking of alginate beads using calcium chloride solution, which may be leaked back to the solution. However, grafting the alginate beads with polyethyleneimine and bromoacetic acid rectified this problem and the new functional group, –COOH, has been proved using the FT-IR. Optimization of the results in terms of beads weight (0.25–3.0 g) and cations concentrations (100–500 mg/L) has shown that most biopolymeric beads can chelate 85–100% of the cations in concentrations up to 500 mg/L. According to our finding, we came up with the recommendation to use chitosan for chelation of calcium and iron as it showed 100% chelation efficiency of both cations, whereas carrageenan is highly recommended for chelation of iron and magnesium, as it showed 100 and 98% chelation efficiency, respectively. Further work can be done on the reusability of the beads and scale up for the industrial use.
