FICUS,a new in-situ probe for resistivity measurements in unconsolidated marine sediments

Physical properties of shallow sediments measured at a particular site can not easily be extrapolated over a given profile. The number of samples required to define sediment properties adequately can then become time-consuming and expensive. Laboratory and in-situ experimentations have shown that electrical probing provides a useful complementary technique to extrapolate results from cores. These experiments have pointed out the need for quantitative, easily-transportable and fast resistivity measurements combining high vertical resolution with azimuthal resolution and full coverage, in the shallow subsurface. A new prototype probe called FICUS (Formation Imaging and Coring for Unconsolidated Sediments) has been developed to bridge this gap. FICUS is designed to provide in-situ high resolution electrical resistivity images of the upper few meters of shallow unconsolidated sediments.Laboratory experiments have been completed to test the feasibility of this technique to provide resistivity images of unconsolidated sediments. Laboratory images agree with theoretical predictions from numerical modelling. The obtained cm-scale resolution could be used for petrophysical and sedimentary purposes. The probe may offer additional information about changes in porosity and pore morphology caused by climatic cycles, since electrical resistivity is known to be especially sensitive to these changes. The probe could also allow to detect and map organic pollutants in the future.     

海底沉积物声学性质原位测量系统海上试验研究

提出了一种新的海底沉积物声学性质原位测量方法,介绍了新研制的海底沉积物声学性质原位测量系统。在青岛近海海域对该系统进行了海试,获得了各个站位的声速数据。将测得的各站位的声速与不同海域的沉积物声速进行对比分析,并对各个站位的声速与沉积物的平均粒径进行了相关性分析,发现与以往研究结果一致,沉积物声速与沉积物类型相关,不同类型的沉积物的声速有明显差异;声速与平均粒径相关性较好,粒径越大,声速越高。结果表明,利用海底沉积物声学性质原位测量系统测得的原位声速是正确的,它能快速准确地得到海底沉积物的声速值。     

海底砂土中气体运移过程电阻率监测探针设计与实验

在浮力和动、静压力作用下,海底浅层气会在高渗透性土中发生垂直和水平方向的运移、聚集,诱发地层变形,甚至失稳破坏。为探索一种新型的气体运移过程原位监测技术,实现气致灾害实时监测预警,根据静电场测量原理,设计、制作了点状电极和环状电极两种形式电阻率探针。在分析了两种探针探测精度基础上,以砂土中气体扩散过程监测为例,利用其对3种速率气体运移过程进行连续监测实验。实验结果表明,两种探针电阻率测量误差均小于0.1%。点状电极探针测量灵敏度较高,可准确监测布设点含气量的变化、气体汇聚、消散过程及相应速率;环状电极探针测量灵敏度相对较低,但可监测气体在砂土中的时空运移过程。两种探针各有利弊,都可实现气体运移过程的有效监测。     

海水和海洋沉积物中有机磷酸酯的研究进展

有机磷酸酯(OPEs)已广泛应用于阻燃剂和增塑剂,但由于其具有较高毒性、难降解和远距离迁移等特点,从而引发的一系列海洋环境问题也逐渐受到关注。本文基于国内外海水和沉积物中OPEs的最新研究数据,分析了海水和海洋沉积物中OPEs的分析检测技术、迁移转化、分布特征和影响因素等,并针对当前研究的不足进行了讨论和展望。通过本文总结发现,海水中OPEs主要来自河流输入和大气沉降的输送,且浓度分布特征表现为表层高于底层,三种氯代有机磷酸酯[磷酸三(2-氯乙基)酯(TCEP)、磷酸三氯丙酯(TCPP)和磷酸三(1, 3-二氯-2-丙基)酯(TDCPP)]是海水中OPEs的主要组分;海洋沉积物中OPEs的含量分布表现出港湾、近岸海域和沿岸城市经济发达区域较高的趋势,其主要组分存在差异,受辛醇-水分配系数(lg Kow)和总有机碳(TOC)两个因素的影响较大。

海洋沉积物含水率对部分碱金属及碱土金属元素含量的影响及意义

利用电感耦合等离子体光谱仪(ICP-AES)对海洋表层沉积物及上覆海水、海洋沉积物国家标准物质、陆地的水系沉积物及土壤国家标准物质进行检测以对比海洋沉积物含水率对部分碱金属及碱土金属元素分析结果所造成的影响。结果显示海洋沉积物含水率对钠离子影响最大,往往有超过50%的钠离子来自其中所含海水的贡献,而海洋沉积物含水率对钾、钙、镁的影响则较为微弱。因此,研究海洋沉积物化学组分时有必要考虑其所含海水对钠含量的贡献,以期达到不同海洋沉积物化学组分的可比性。     

酸洗法测定海洋沉积物有机碳和无机碳含量的致命缺陷

Organic and inorganic carbon contents of marine sediments are important to reconstruct marine productivity,global carbon cycle, and climate change. A proper method to separate and determine organic and inorganic carbons is thus of great necessity. Although the best method is still disputable, the acid leaching method is widely used in many laboratories because of its ease-of-use and high accuracy. The results of the elemental analysis of sediment trap samples reveal that organic and inorganic carbon contents cannot be obtained using the acid leaching method, causing an infinitely amplified error when the carbon content of the decarbonated sample is 12%±1% according to a mathematical derivation. Acid fumigation and gasometric methods are used for comparison, which indicates that other methods can avoid this problem in organic carbon analysis. For the first time, this study uncovers the pitfalls of the acid leaching method, which limits the implication in practical laboratory measurement, and recommends alternative solutions of organic/inorganic carbon determination in marine sediments.     

用细化的铁形态分析及量化的铁氧化物活性表征海洋沉积物中铁的成岩作用：以胶州湾为例

以富营养化的胶州湾一个柱状沉积物为例,用细化的铁形态分析及量化的铁氧化物还原活性相结合的方法研究了沉积物中铁的成岩作用过程。结果表明,这两种方法相结合的结果能更详细示踪铁的转化并能从多视角提供铁成岩作用的细微差别。这一方法有望应用于其它研究中更好地揭示复杂的铁和硫的生物地球化学循环。铁微生物还原在上部沉积物铁的还原中起重要作用,但12 cm深度以下铁被硫化物的化学还原为主要过程。最具生物活性的无定形铁氧化物是铁微生物还原的主要参与者,然后依次为弱晶态铁氧化物和磁铁矿,晶态铁氧化物几乎不参与铁的成岩循环。沉积物上部铁微生物还原的重要作用主要是活性铁含量高而活性有机质含量低共同作用的结果,且后者也是沉积物中硫酸盐还原速率以及硫化物积累的最终制约因素。对比研究表明,通过还原性溶解动力学方法表征的微生物可还原的铁氧化物主要由无定形和弱晶态铁氧化物组成,其总体活性常数相当于老化的水铁矿,且随深度增加而减低。

海底沙波迁移过程原位观测简易装置设计与试验

海底沙波的迁移对海底基础工程具有潜在危害,成为人们日益关注的热点。目前对海底沙波迁移过程的研究缺乏原位长期观测数据的支撑,设计一种海底沙波迁移过程的原位观测装置,通过水压差与高程差变化的对应关系来确定沙波的形态变化和迁移过程。并且在室内波浪水槽中对装置观测的可行性和观测结果的准确性进行验证,同时在仰口湾潮滩进行现场观测应用。该装置室内试验测量计算得到沙波表面高度变化5.9 cm,而观测得到沙波表面高度实际变化5.5 cm,两者吻合程度很好。试验结果表明,这套海底沙波迁移过程原位观测装置能对沙波外部形态变化进行测量且准确度较高,为海底沙波迁移的观测提供了新方法。     

Characterization of the binding sites for Al(III) and Be(II) in a sample of marine fulvic acids

A sample of coastal marine fulvic acids (mfua) was studied and its binding site structures that form stable complexes with metal ions were identified. A previously developed self-modeling methodology, based on the coupling of synchronous fluorescence (SyF) spectroscopy with evolving factor analysis (EFA), was used for the analysis of the interactions between mfua and two metal ions that act as probes for binding sites, namely Be(II) and Al(III). Two types of binding site structures were detected, probably of the salicylic acid and catechol types. The values of the conditional stability constants between mfua and the two metal ions were: for Be(II), at pH = 6, log K = 5.32(8); for Al(III), at pH = 4, log K = 5.1(2). The concentration of the corresponding binding sites was found to be less than one half of those found for soil fulvic acid samples.     

珠江口盆地白云深水区含气储层AVO模板的建立及应用

白云深水区多口油气钻探揭示砂质储层含气和含水都有可能表现为Ⅲ类或Ⅳ类的AVO及亮点异常,单纯依靠亮点+Ⅲ类AVO异常进行烃类气体预测具有多解性,是钻前储层的流体预测面临的新挑战和难点。本文利用珠江口盆地白云深水区测井数据,根据储层特征与含气性差异性优选了多口测井数据齐全井,利用测井数据对不同井位储层段的AVO特征进行分析。通过Aki-Richards公式计算了不同井的截距和梯度属性,建立了白云深水区P和G属性图版。对比分析发现不同含气储层,随着岩性、含气性差异及其岩性组合不同,呈现不同AVO异常特征,岩心分析表明该异常不仅与储层含气性有关,也与盖层岩性密切相关,尤其是当盖层或者储层含有灰岩时,对AVO异常影响较大。利用M矿区目标储层的叠前反演弹性参数,再结合本文建立的P和G属性图版和流体识别因子方法,对目标储层含气性进行了预测,发现了该储层在横向上含气性不同,钻探结果证实预测结果有效与可靠,表明该AVO模板具有较好的实用性。
