Assessment of cadmium contamination in the sediments of Changjiang （Yangtze） River by reflectance spectroscopy

The Takab area in NW of Iran is an important gold mineralized region with a long history of gold mining. In this study ASTER data is used to evaluate environmental effects of gold mining. The results show that mining activities have resulted in release of potentially toxic metals （PTMs） in the area. Principal component analysis （PCA） of ASTER data is used to map sources of PTMs and their secondary hosts （iron oxides） through alteration mapping. The results show that selective PCA is a robust yet time consuming technique for alteration mapping. A color composite is created for finding common hydrothermally altered rocks. The created color composite successfully mapped the known deposits and anomalous areas identified by geological survey of Iran. Because of the low spatial resolution of ASTER sensor, the iron oxide mapping is restricted to the wider portions of the streams. Spectral analyses confirm the presence of hematite and goethite in stream sediments. This is in accordance with measured pH values.

为了研究刘家峡水库西南部水域表层沉积物中重金属的污染状况,对采集的55个表层沉积物样品中的6种重金属元素Cr、Cd、Ni、Cu、Zn和Pb的含量进行测试,其平均含量分别为77.03μg/g、0.16μg/g、33.53μg/g、32.09μg/g、291.77μg/g、22.44μg/g。在研究表层沉积物重金属含量空间分布的基础上,运用单因子污染指数法、内梅罗综合污染指数法、地累积指数法、潜在生态风险指数法,综合判断水库的受污染程度并对其潜在生态风险进行评估。6种元素的地累积指数排序依次为：Zn > Cu > Cd > Ni > Pb > Cr;潜在生态风险系数排序依次为：Cd > Cu > Pb > Zn > Ni > Cr;各区域重金属污染程度或潜在生态风险水平依次为黄河主河道 > 大夏河河口 > 黄河横剖面。综合4种方法的评价结果,认为对刘家峡水库西南部表层沉积物重金属污染及潜在生态风险评价贡献率较高的重金属污染因子是Zn、Cu和Cd;综合相关性分析与主成分分析,认为研究区沉积物重金属污染主要来源于两个方面：（1） Zn、Cu主要来源于生活污染或工业污染;（2） Cd主要来源于工农业活动产生的污染。     

Heavy Metal Distribution in Soils near the Almalyk Mining and Smelting Industrial Area,Uzbekistan

Abstract: The present study demonstrates distribution and chemical forms of heavy metals in soils of the Almalyk mining and smelting industrial area along five transects. The study area is located in Almalyk, Uzbekistan, where the intensification of industrial enterprises negatively impacts the environment. The distribution of 17 heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Pb, Sc, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Ga, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Ba, Th, and U) were studied in 21 sampling locations (21×3=63 soil samples) along five radial transects with a total length of 60?km downwind deposition gradient. Soil samples were collected from the upper layer (0–10?cm) at 4–6?km intervals. As a result of X-ray fluorescence spectrometry analyses by using X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF, Philips Analytical Ink, USA ), a significant decrease in heavy metal (Cu, Zn, Pb) deposition was found going from the source in a downwind direction. Soil samples taken from the first location (near the pollution sources) showed higher concentrations of Cu, Zn and Pb, and lower concentrations with increasing distance from the source. Obtained data showed different impact of pollution sources to heavy metal deposition and distribution in soils. The Almalyk mining and smelting complex is the major source of Pb, Zn and Cu enrichment in soils. Distribution of other trace elements does not exceed background content and suggests lithogenic background. This allowed us to divide these elements into two groups: (1) technogenic (Cu, Zn and Pb); and (2) lithogenic (Sc, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Ga, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Ba, Th and U) origins.

Geochemistry of arc-related mantle peridotites and gabbros from the Chaldoran ophiolite,NW Iran

ABSTRACT

The Neo-Tethys-related Chaldoran ophiolite peridotites in NW Iran are remnants of mantle lithosphere, exhumed tectonically during the Late Cretaceous. Harzburgite is the predominant peridotite type, associated with oceanic lower crust cumulate gabbros occasionally. The ophiolite rocks are unconformably overlain by Late Cretaceous-Paleocene sediments. New whole-rock geochemistry of the variably serpentinized harzburgites shows a depleted nature, exemplified by low Al₂O₃, CaO, TiO₂, V and Y and high Ni, Cr and Mg and also low rare earth element (REE) contents. The harzburgites present LREE enrichment. Positive correlations between some LREEs and high field strength elements (HFSE) suggest enrichment of LREEs by melt re-fertilization processes. Cr-spinels have Cr number of [Cr# = Cr/(Cr + Al) = 0.53–0.67], showing medium to high degree of partial melting (F = ~17-20%). Both whole-rock and mineral chemistry data show a supra-subduction zone setting and progressive depletion along with increase in spinel Cr# (MOR to fore arc). The cumulate gabbros have high MgO and SiO₂, low TiO₂ and Ti/V < 10 and also low chondrite normalized Dy (<8.5). The gabbro samples show enriched LREEs and LILEs and depleted HREEs and HFSEs with respect to MORBs.

Subduction initiation (SI) model in a fore-arc/proto-fore-arc environment is suggested for the upper mantle evolution of the Chaldoran ophiolite. The rocks have experienced depletion in a second melting process at the later stages of SI and compositions were probably modified by extraction of island arc tholeiitic (IAT) and possibly boninitic (BON) melts. The chemostratigraphic progression for ‘subduction initiation rule (SIR)’ is likely traceable in Chaldoran mafic-ultramafic sequence, which corresponds to the most Neo-Tethyan ophiolites and is similar to MOR to supra-subduction zone (SSZ) evolution of most Iranian ‘Inner’ and ‘Outer Zagros’ ophiolitic peridotites.     

太湖沉积物重金属及营养盐污染研究

通过太湖MS沉积岩芯元素地球化学指标的分析,对太湖沉积物污染历史进行了系统的讨论。根据化学元素的聚类分析结果、变化趋势,并与太湖流域经济发展进程对比,认为太湖沉积物铅、锌、锰、镍污染开始于20世纪70年代末期,砷、汞污染分别开始于30年代和40年代,随着底泥重金属污染程度的加重,沉积物表层磁化率明显升高;总磷自40年代以来含量不断增加,总氮、总有机碳含量增加开始于70年代末期,表明湖泊富营养化程度不断加重。太湖沉积物重金属及营养盐污染历史与该区经济发展阶段相吻合。     

Heavy Metal Distributions and Source Tracing in the Lacustrine Sediments of Dongdao Island,South China Sea

The levels and depth distributions of As, Cd, Cu, Zn, Pb, Hg, Fe and Mn in two sediment cores DY2 and DY4 collected from the ＂Cattle Pond＂ of Dongdao Island, South China Sea, were determined and analyzed with the main objective to identify the sources of these elements and evaluate the corresponding sedimentological and geochemical processes. Lithological characters and sedimentary parameters such as LOI950℃, CaO, LOI550℃ and TOC indicate that the depth of 96 cm and 87 cm are the critical points for DY2 and DY4 cores, respectively. As, Cd, Cu, Zn, Hg and P are remarkably enriched in the ornithogenic sediments above the critical depth points; their concentration-versus-depth profiles are similar to those of TOC and LOI550℃; the ratios of As, Cd, Cu, Zn, Hg over Ca are significantly correlated with P/Ca. Statistical and comparative analyses of these elements＇ levels in the ornithogenic sediments of DY2 and DY4 strongly suggest that seabird droppings are the main source of these elements. Additionally, for the upper sediment layers of DY2 and DY4 cores, Fe oxide sorption mechanism, like organic matter, may also play an important role in the abundances of heavy metals. Heavy metal Pb has geochemical characteristics distinctly different from those of As, Cd, Cu, Zn, Hg and P, and its isotope composition indicates an origin of anthropogenic emissions from the surrounding countries. These geochemical characteristics in the orinithogenic sediments of Xisha Islands are compared with the studies in the remote Antarctic and Arctic regions.

The levels and depth distributions of As,Cd,Cu,Zn,Pb,Hg,Fe and Mn in two sediment cores DY2 and DY4 collected from the"Cattle Pond"of Dongdao Island,South China Sea,were determined and analyzed with the main objective to identify the sources of these elements and evaluate the corresponding sedimentological and geochemical processes.Lithological characters and sedimentary parameters such as LOI_(950℃),CaO,LOI_(550℃) and TOC indicate that the depth of 96 cm and 87 cm are the critical points for DY2 and DY4 cores,respectively.As,Cd,Cu,Zn,Hg and P are remarkably enriched in the ornithogenic sediments above the critical depth points;their concentration-versus-depth profiles are similar to those of TOC and LOIssooc;the ratios of As,Cd,Cu, Zn,Hg over Ca are significantly correlated with P/Ca.Statistical and comparative analyses of these elements' levels in the ornithogenic sediments of DY2 and DY4 strongly suggest that seabird droppings are the main source of these elements.Additionally,for the upper sediment layers of DY2 and DY4 cores,Fe oxide sorption mechanism,like organic matter,may also play an important role in the abundances of heavy metals.Heavy metal Pb has geochemical characteristics distinctly different from those of As,Cd,Cu,Zn,Hg and P,and its isotope composition indicates an origin of anthropogenic emissions from the surrounding countries.These geochemical characteristics in the orinithogenic sediments of Xisha Islands are compared with the studies in the remote Antarctic and Arctic regions.

Mineralogy and Geochemistry of Major,Trace and Rare Earth Elements in Sediments of the Hypersaline Urmia Salt Lake,Iran

Urmia Salt Lake(USL) is a hypersaline lake located at the NW corner of the Iran platform. The lake area is estimated to have been over 5000 km~2 at one point, but has now decreased to 1000 km~2 in the last two decades. It contains 4.6×10~9 tons of halite and other detrital and evaporative minerals such as calcite, aragonite, dolomite, quartz, feldspars, augite and sylvite. This study examined the mineralogy and geochemistry of bed sediments along the mid-east toward NE bank sediments collected from 1.5 meters depth and nearby augite placer. Due to the diverse lithology of the surrounding geology, bed sediments vary from felsic in the mid-east to mafic in the northeast. Weathering of tephrite and adakite rocks of the Islamic Island at the immediate boundary has produced a large volume of augite placer over a 40 km length, parallel to the shoreline. Based on the study result, weathering increases from south to north and the geochemistry of the sediments shows enrichment of Mg O, Ca O, Sr and Ba associated with Sr deployment in all samples. Rare earth elements(REE) patterns normalized to the upper continental crust(UCC) indicated LREEs enrichment compared to HREEs with an elevated anomaly of Eu, possibly due to surface absorbance of Mn and Fe minerals, associated with Sr elevation originating from adakites in the lake basin vicinity.

鄂西铜铅锌尾矿库周边农田土壤-水稻重金属污染状况及风险评价

农田土壤污染导致的粮食安全问题已引起广泛关注,客观评价尾矿库周边农田土壤和农作物污染状况对后期土壤污染防治和安全利用具有重要意义。为研究鄂西某铜铅锌尾矿库周边农田土壤-水稻重金属污染状况及风险,本文同步采集50个点位农田土壤及水稻稻穗样品,应用电感耦合等离子体质谱/发射光谱、原子荧光光谱等方法测定As、Cd、Cu、Pb、Zn、Hg、Ni和Cr八种重金属含量及土壤pH值,采用潜在生态风险指数法和健康风险评估模型评价生态风险和健康风险。结果表明：①研究区土壤As、Cd、Cu、Pb、Zn存在超标,Cd超标率20%最大。水稻仅Cd超标,超标率14%。②相关性分析显示土壤重金属有相同的污染源,渗滤液泄漏是可能的污染源;水稻重金属与土壤具有正相关性,Cd元素相关性最强,可能由于水稻对土壤Cd吸收能力强。③潜在生态风险评价结果表明土壤Cd、Pb、Zn、Cu显著富集,Cd富集系数达4.41,研究区处于中度风险,6%点位具有极强风险。④健康风险评价结果表明几乎全部点位土壤总致癌风险和总非致癌风险大于可接受水平,存在重金属致癌风险,As和Cd致癌风险较大。水稻总致癌风险全部大于可接受水平,最大贡献者为Cd;总非致癌风险全部在可接受水平内。综上,该尾矿库周边农田土壤和水稻已受到重金属污染,存在一定的生态风险,对当地居民健康造成的风险值得重视。     

基于地面实测光谱的水系沉积物重金属含量反演

水系沉积物中的重金属元素含量调查是矿区环境受污染程度的重要依据,同时水系沉积物的物源组成也是近年来找矿突破的重要环节之一。通过分析水系沉积物中羟基官能团与重金属游离态阳离子之间的吸附反应,结合地面实测高光谱数据,发现与重金属元素含量相关性较好的波谱波段为500~780 nm与2 100~2 300 nm,建立基于地面实测光谱技术反演水系沉积物中重金属元素含量的回归方程,最后利用反距离权重方法成功提取碾子沟-洛金洼多金属矿区3条冲沟水系沉积物中Cu、Zn等重金属元素含量。结果显示：重金属Cu和Zn模型检验精度（R²）分别为0.618和0.636;研究区内冲沟源头山地林地附近流域沉积物中的重金属含量相对中下游矿区周边农用地较低,同时沉积土壤中的重金属含量随着冲沟流向呈升高趋势。重金属含量较高的中游农用地附近应加以治理,含量异常的中下游区域为今后的找矿方向。     

基于可见—近红外反射光谱的典型农田重金属污染风险分类研究

对于人为因素或自然因素造成的农田土壤重金属元素污染,需要进行大面积的土壤环境质量调查和分类管控,然而传统的采样测试方法存在工作量大、代价高等问题。可见—近红外（Vis-NIR）反射光谱是一种快速低成本获取土壤理化信息的手段。为研究Vis-NIR反射光谱预测模型划分土壤重金属污染风险类别的能力,文章以典型人为污染地区（浙江温岭）和典型地质高背景地区（广西横县）的390份农田土壤为样本,测定8种重金属元素（As、Cd、Cr、Cu、Hg、Ni、Pb和Zn）的含量和pH值,并测定土壤Vis-NIR光谱。使用偏最小二乘（PLS）和支持向量机（SVM）算法建立回归模型,对土壤重金属含量和pH值进行预测,并基于预测值进行土壤重金属污染风险分类。结果显示,温岭土壤主要污染元素Cd和Cu的光谱模型回归预测偏差（RPD）分别为1.23和1.19,预测机制与有机质有关。横县土壤主要污染元素As和Cd的RPD分别为1.98和1.93,预测机制与铁氧化物和粘土矿物有关。地质高背景土壤重金属与铁氧化物的正相关性普遍较强,使得光谱模型对重金属含量预测准确度较高。温岭和横县土壤pH值的光谱模型RPD分别为1.76和1.68。土壤重金属污染风险光谱分类的总体 准确度分别为75.0%~100%（温岭）和80.0%~100％（横县）。将Vis-NIR光谱与遥感技术相结合,对农田土壤重金属污染风险进行快速分类总体是可行的。     

应用近红外光谱法研究泻湖湿地沉积物重金属活动态特征及生态风险评价

沉积物中的重金属元素经自然作用下可以活动态进行迁移,具有潜在生物可利用性及潜在的区域生态风险。利用近红外光谱(NIRS)技术开展不同基体类型样品响应机理研究,可为评估重金属活动态提供无损、快速的分析方法,为生态风险研究提供依据。天津七里海泻湖湿地沉积物具有低有机质-高黏土含量的特征,本文基于近红外光谱分析技术,建立了沉积物中Co、Ni、Cu、Zn、Cd、Pb重金属活动态组分含量近红外光谱-偏最小二乘回归预测模型。实验结果表明:样品在7290～6390cm~(-1)和4683～4000cm~(-1)波段存在的双羟基O—H伸缩振动、AlAl—OH及Al(Mg)—OH弯曲振动特征吸收,间接指示了重金属元素活动态含量。光谱预测结果显示,近百年来七里海沉积物中Co、Ni、Cu、Zn、Cd、Pb活动态组分的变化特征对应了当地1934—1948年、1956—1963年、1976年至今三次较明显的升温过程,也对应了1980年七里海水库建设等大型人为扰动。本研究样品中Co、Ni、Cu、Zn、Cd、Pb总量及活动态均低于国家标准中规定的生态风险阈值,七里海内村镇及周边农田来自湿地释放的重金属生态风险极低。     

某矿区土壤重金属分布特征及来源解析

为探究赣南某矿区土壤重金属污染状况及来源,以该矿区内40个土壤样品为研究对象,分析了土壤中Cu、Pb、Zn、Cr、Ni、Cd、As和Hg等8种重金属元素的含量,并采用频率直方图、相关性分析、主成分分析等多种统计方法探究了土壤重金属含量的分布特征及来源。研究结果表明:(1)研究区8种重金属中有7种不同程度地超过了江西省土壤重金属元素背景值;(2)Pb、Zn、As和Hg的含量接近正态分布,而Cu、Cr、Ni和Cd的含量则呈现出右偏分布的趋势,这可能与研究区矿山开采活动及土地利用类型等因素有关;(3)矿区土壤重金属相关性分析表明,Cu、Cr、Ni的同源性较高,可能具有相同的污染源,而Pb、Zn、Cd等元素与Cu、Cr、Ni相比,其来源可能存在一定的差异;(4)主成分分析结果显示,矿区内土壤中8种重金属元素含量可以由2个主成分来解释,所代表的实际意义按贡献率排序分别是成土母质和人为采矿活动;(5)矿区内土壤重金属污染物主要为Pb、Zn、Cd,人为采矿活动是这三种重金属污染的主要来源。     

成都市中心城区地表沉积物中重金属分布及矿物学特征

城市地表沉积物已成为城市环境污染的重要组成部分,是城市环境中各种污染物的"源"和"汇",通过研究城市地表沉积物的物化及矿物学特征对城市环境质量的监测具有良好的指示作用。本文在成都市中心城区不同区域采集40件地表沉积物样品,利用激光粒度分析仪、扫描电镜能谱和X射线衍射等技术分析研究了地表沉积物的粒径分布特征、重金属分布特征、矿物组成特征及微区形貌特征。结果表明:地表沉积物粒径的质量和体积分布特征具有较高一致性,均以中细颗粒物为主,其中小于0. 3mm的地表沉积物占总质量或体积的70%以上,小于0. 125mm的地表沉积物占总质量或体积的40%左右; Cu、Pb、Zn、As、Hg、Cr、Cd、Ni等重金属随着沉积物粒径的减小而呈明显增加的趋势,主要存在于小于0. 125mm粒径的沉积物中,同时在成都市中心城区各方位区域和各环路区域的分布上存在一定的差异; Si、Ca、K、Na等造岩元素在不同粒径级别沉积物中都大量存在;地表沉积物矿物组成主要是石英、长石类、方解石等,且各类矿物在不同粒径级别沉积物中所占含量大致相当,但细粒径矿物表现出胶体行为,极易吸附各种微量重金属。研究认为,城市地表沉积物的粒径分布特征和矿物组成特征是影响重金属在沉积物中分布的内在因素,而人类活动是决定地表沉积物重金属污染程度的关键因素。
