胶州湾近岸沉积物-海水汞的释放研究

本文通过模拟实验研究了胶州湾海泊河口和李村河口沉积物中的汞在不同环境条件下向海水的释放,并对汞的释放动力学数据进行了拟合。总体上两种沉积物汞的释放浓度分别为1.41~5.99μg/L和1.06~3.62μg/L,最大释放率分别为2.7%和3.4%,对胶州湾潮间带水质产生较大的影响。海水的pH值、温度和沉积物厚度都会影响汞的释放。pH<7时,汞的释放作用随pH值的升高而降低,pH>7时,汞的释放作用随pH值的升高而增大;海水温度越高,汞的释放作用越强;随沉积物厚度的增加,汞的释放量增加,释放率降低,海泊河口和李村河口沉积物的有效厚度分别为3.5cm和2.5cm。汞的释放动力学拟合结果表明多个方程都能较好的描述汞的释放动力学过程,其中以Ho的二级动力学方程拟合结果最好。     

秋季胶州湾潮间带汞通量的初步研究

分别于2010年10月、11月,利用动力学通量箱对胶州湾东北部潮间带沉积物与大气界面间的汞交换通量进行了现场测定。结果表明:大气汞含量较高(4.8±1.3ng/m3),高于全球背景值,沉积物汞含量超过海洋沉积物质量一类标准;2次采样潮间带沉积物-大气汞的释放通量均在午后出现最大值,分别为2.47ng/(m2·h)和2.75ng/(m2·h)。潮间带沉积物-大气间的汞交换通量与太阳辐射、沉积物温度以及大气温度有显著的正相关关系,与大气相对湿度呈负相关关系。     

胶州湾李村河口沉积物中酸可溶硫化物与活性金属分布特征

对胶州湾李村河口9个短柱状样沉积物中活性金属、AVS和有机质含量等参数进行了分析.其中AVS含量:198.4～0.4 μmol/g,平均35.8μmol/g.大部分样品活性金属含量具有 Fe > Zn > Cu > Cr >V > Ni > Pb > Co > Cd 的顺序.活性重金属 Zn, Cu, Cr, V, Ni, Pb, Co, Cd 含量之和 ( ΣM ) 为:0.53～17.39 μmol/g.通过对所测数据分析发现,大多数活性金属间具有较好的相关性,反映了它们具有相同的来源或相似的早期成岩地球化学特征.近河口区沉积物的地球化学特征与远河口区差异明显:近河口区底层水为还原环境,AVS 形成的制约因素是活性铁的可获得性,而活性重金属的分布受到AVS的控制并主要以金属硫化物或硫化物吸附态的形式存在,AVS 仍具有较大的吸附重金属的潜力,同时硫化物中重金属再次释放造成二次污染的潜在性也较大;而在离河口稍远的海域,沉积物中 AVS 形成的控制因素是有机质的供给和环境氧化还原状态的变化,活性重金属主要以铁氧化物结合态存在,表层沉积物中重金属的环境敏感性及生物有效性都较高.     

深圳湾和茅洲河湿地浅层沉积物孔隙水中营养盐和金属元素赋存特征及其界面扩散通量研究

为了解湿地微环境中营养盐和金属元素的分布特征及其内在联系,并进一步估算两者在沉积物-水界面的扩散通量,本文借助薄膜扩散梯度技术获取深圳湾和茅洲河红树林湿地浅层沉积物孔隙水中营养盐和金属元素浓度以及二维高分辨有效态硫浓度分布。研究结果表明：除了NO₃^-和 Mo 外,茅洲河沉积物孔隙水中NH₄⁺、P 与 S_2-和重金属 Cd、Co、Cu、Fe、Ni、Pb 与 Zn 的平均浓度均高于上覆水和深圳湾水体中平均浓度,这说明茅洲河沉积物孔隙水的污染程度更高,但深圳湾水体中营养盐和金属元素等污染物来源多于茅洲河。茅洲河有效态硫浓度空间分布不均匀,存在明显的生物扰动通道,浓度值也随着沉积物深度逐渐增高。深圳湾在沉积物-水界面处营养盐和金属元素的扩散通量为-0.27～0.006 5 μg/(cm²·d),茅洲河的扩散通量为-0.061～0.069 μg/(cm²·d)。     

湖泊沉积物氮磷内源负荷模拟

在对骆马湖沉积物及其间隙水物化性质、空间分布等分析基础上 ,在实验室控制的恒温静态条件下 ,模拟了软性富泥区柱状芯样在不同季节温度下的沉积物 水界面氮、磷交换过程。根据模拟不同温度下的柱状沉积物氮、磷释放速率及其代表时段下的物质释放量计算 ,以及应用孔隙水物质扩散模型进行的计算 ,全湖内源氮、磷负荷分别约为 ( 1 1 1 3.2± 71 .3)t/a和 ( 1 2 .5 0± 0 .95 )t/a,分别占骆马湖年氮、磷入湖量的 7.4%和 1 .2 %。沉积物中氮、磷含量差异大及铁含量较高可能是氮释放通量偏高和磷释放通量较小的主要因素。     

大连湾沉积物-水界面BAP 交换通量的影响因素

利用实验室培养法研究了不同因素对大连湾沉积物-水界面间生物可利用磷(BAP)交换通量的影响,并利用实验室培养法和间隙水浓度梯度法估算了大连湾已疏浚区和疏浚点邻近海域沉积物-水界面BAP的交换通量.结果表明,随着上覆水pH和温度的增加,BAP由沉积物向水体释放量逐渐增加;灭菌和贫氧条件下,也会导致沉积物BAP的释放量增加;上覆水中磷酸盐浓度的升高会导致BAP由沉积物向水体释放通量降低,且随着上覆水磷酸盐浓度的不断升高,BAP逐渐转化为由水体向沉积物中扩散.实验室培养法和间隙水浓度梯度法测定结果均显示,受到疏浚工程的影响,大连湾疏浚点邻近海域沉积物-水界面BAP的年均通量大于已疏浚区.不同季节,大连湾沉积物-水界面BAP的交换通量有所不同,表现为夏季最高,冬季最低.但由于受疏浚活动的影响,冬季疏浚点邻近海域沉积物-水界面BAP的交换通量也维持在较高水平.     

福建深沪湾不同环境样品中总汞和甲基汞含量的分布

测定了福建省泉州深沪湾海水、沉积物和生物体中的总汞含量,测定了沉积物、生物体中的甲基汞含量.海水总汞含量范围是1.16 ～7.29 ng/dm3,平均值为3.32 ng/dm3.沉积物中总汞含量为0.006～0.066 μg/g,甲基汞占总汞的比例为4.7％ ～38.6％,该比例与总汞含量呈负相关关系(r=-0.840,p＜0.05),这可能是因为总汞含量的升高使甲基汞合成反应受到抑制,导致反应速率降低甚至为负,即甲基汞的分解.生物体中总汞含量为0.037 ～0.353 μg/g(干重),甲基汞含量为1.01 ～42.50 ng/g(干重),甲基汞占总汞的比例为1.5％ ～40.4％.甲基汞含量与总汞含量显著相关(r =0.484,p＜0.10);总汞含量与甲基汞占总汞比例略有相关(r=-0.293,p＜0.10);甲基汞含量与其占总汞比例无相关性(r=0.061,p＞0.05).可以推测,生物体中的总汞和甲基汞都是外源性的,不同生物体甲基汞占总汞的比例变化很大.对深沪湾居民进行海产品摄入量评估,以美国EPA规定的甲基汞参考计量0.1 μg/(kg·d)为标准,计算得深沪湾周边居民每周食用3次(600g)湾内的海产品是安全的,不会产生汞中毒.未来还需要测定海水中甲基汞的含量,用以计算生物富集因子,表征不同生物对甲基汞的富集程度;通过测定鱼体中的δ13C、δ15N比值来确定不同鱼类的营养级,进而研究甲基汞的生物累积效应与营养级的关系.     

基于DGT技术评估南四湖沉积物-水界面中Cr,Mo和W的潜在释放风险

本文利用DGT技术对南四湖污染程度不同的两个湖区(微山湖和独山湖)DGT有效态Cr,Mo和W的垂直分布特征以及沉积物-水界面元素的净扩散通量进行研究。结果表明微山湖区Cr,Mo,W的垂直分布趋势较为相似,呈现从上覆水向沉积物降低的趋势,据相关性分析得出三种元素都受铁锰氧化物的控制,三种元素的扩散通量分别为-14.31μg/m~2·day,-0.88μg/m~2·day和-0.38μg/m~2·day,表明微山湖三种元素向上覆水释放的风险较低。独山湖区三种元素的浓度均呈现从上覆水向沉积物增加的趋势,并在-12mm处出现峰值,三种元素的净扩散通量为5.36μg/m~2·day,-0.0025μg/m~2·day和0.37μg/m~2·day,这表明在独山湖Cr和W存在一定的向上覆水体释放的风险。     

壳聚糖/蒙脱土插层复合物对活性红染料的吸附热力学研究

采用溶液插层法,利用壳聚糖和蒙脱土制备了壳聚糖/蒙脱土插层复合物,使用红外光谱和X-射线衍射分析对其结构进行了表征;以此复合物为活性红染料RR136的吸附剂,考察了复合物中壳聚糖与蒙脱土的摩尔比、染料溶液pH值和浓度、吸附温度及吸附剂用量等因素对吸附性能的影响。结果表明,吸附反应的最佳条件是以壳聚糖与蒙脱土摩尔比为5∶1的插层复合物为吸附剂,反应温度20℃,RR136溶液pH为3。壳聚糖/蒙脱土插层复合物对活性红染料的吸附更符合Langmuir模型,吸附热力学参数ΔGo、ΔHo和ΔSo值分别为-3.338kJ·mol-1(30℃),-37.98kJ·mol-1和-114.77J·mol-1·K-1,表明壳聚糖/蒙脱土插层复合物对活性红染料的吸附是自发的、以物理吸附为主的放热反应。     

夏季东、黄海沉积物中甲烷的分布和沉积物-水界面通量

沉积物释放是海洋环境中甲烷(CH_4)的重要来源。通过2013年7月和8月两个航次,对东、黄海泥质区沉积物中CH_4浓度的垂直分布和沉积物-水界面通量进行了研究。结果表明,除个别站位外,黄海沉积物(50 cm以浅)中CH_4的浓度变化范围在0.2～1.0μmol/L之间,长江口及浙闽沿岸附近的沉积物中CH_4浓度则要更高(1.0～2.0μmol/L),而东海东部海域沉积物中CH_4浓度波动范围为0.2～3.0μmol/L。总体来说,东、黄海沉积物中CH_4浓度偏低,这可能与观测到的高浓度硫酸盐(20 mmol/L)有关。通过整柱密室培养实验估算出东、黄海沉积物-水界面CH_4释放速率在0.64～2.12μmol/(m2·d)之间,东、黄海沉积物CH_4释放总量为6.7×108 mol/yr;但采用菲克定律估算的CH_4扩散通量则要比现场培养的结果低2～5倍,表明不同的方法在估算沉积物-水界面CH_4通量上还具有一定的不确定性。     

Microbial Biomass and Organic Nutrients in the Deep-Sea Sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin

In order to assess the impact of deep-sea mining on the in situ benthic life, we measured the microbial standing stock and concentration of organic nutrients in the deep-sea sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin in the Indian pioneer area. Sediments were collected using box core and grab samples during September 1996. The total bacterial numbers ranged from 10 10 -10 11 cells per g -1 dry weight sediment. There was a marginal decrease in the number of bacteria from surface to 30 cm depth, though the subsurface section registered a higher number than did the surface. The highest numbers were encountered at depths of 4-8 cm. The retrievable number of bacteria were two orders less in comparison with the direct total counts of bacteria. An almost homogeneous distribution of bacteria, total organic carbon, living biomass, and lipids throughout the depth of cores indicates active microbial and benthic processes in the deep sea sediments. On the other hand, a uniform distribution of total counts of bacteria, carbohydrates, and total organic carbon in all the cores indicates their stable nature and suggests that they can serve as useful parameters for long-term monitoring of the area after the benthic disturbance. Further studies on temporal variability in this region would not only verify the observed norms of distribution of these variables but would also help to understand restabilization processes after the simulated benthic disturbance.     

海上大直径钢管桩打桩过程中桩周土强度弱化研究

海上大直径钢管桩打桩过程中,桩周土体受到强烈扰动而发生强度弱化,掌握桩周土体强度弱化规律对于准确预测打桩过程、保证工程安全具有重要意义。为研究土体强度弱化规律,开展了环剪试验模拟打桩对桩周土体的扰动,测试土体强度随剪切速率的变化规律,建立了描述土体强度弱化规律的拟合公式,引入到打桩分析软件中。研究结果表明：土体的强度折减程度不仅与土体本身的性质有关还受到土体的埋深和剪切速率的影响,埋深越深土体强度折减程度越低,剪切速率越高土体强度折减越高,在打桩分析中可采用这里推荐的线性折减方法来模拟不同深度处土体强度的折减规律。     

Geoacoustic Inversion via Genetic Algorithm and Its Application to Manganese Sediment Identification

An acoustic inversion method using a wide-band signal and two near field receivers is proposed and applied to multiple layered seabed models including a manganese sediment. The inversion problem can be formulated into a probabilistic model comprised of signals, a forward model, and additive noise. The forward model simulates wide-band signals, such as chirp signals, and is chosen to be the source-waveletconvolution plane wave modeling method. The wavelet matching technique, using weighted least-squares fitting, estimates the sediment sound-speed and thickness on which determination of the possible numerical ranges for a priori uniform distribution is based. The genetic algorithm is applied to a global optimization problem to find a maximum a posteriori solution for determined a priori search space. Here the object function is defined by an L 2 norm of the difference between measured and modeled signals. Not only the marginal pdf but also its statistics are calculated by numerical evaluation of integrals using the samples selected during importance sampling process of the genetic algorithm.     

Phylogenetic diversity and phenotypic characterization of cultivable bacterioplankton isolated from polar oceans

A set of 27 marine planktonic bacteria isolated from the polar regions was characterized by 16S rDNA sequencing and physiological and biochemical testing. More than half of these bacteria were positive for caseinase, gelatinase and 13-glucosidase, and could utilize glucose, maltose or malic acid as carbon source for cell growth. Twelve isolates expressed nitrate reduction activities. Except for one antarctic isolate BSwlO175 belonging to Actinobacteria phylum, these isolates were classified as γ-Proteobacteria, suggesting that γ-Proteobacteria dominated in cultivable marine bacterioplankton at both poles. Genus Pseudoalteromonas was the predominant group in the Chukchi Sea and the Bering Sea, and genus ShewaneUa dominated in cultivable bacterioplankton in the Prydz Bay. With sequence similarities above 97%, genus Psychrobacter was found at both poles. These 27 isolates were psychrotolerant, and significant 16S rDNA sequence similarities were found not only between arctic and antarctic marine bacteria （ 〉 99% ）, but also between polar marine bacteria and bacteria from other aquatic environments （ ≥ 98.8% ）, including temperate ocean, deep sea, pond and lake, suggesting that in the polar oceans less temperature-sensitive bacteria may be cosmopolitan and have a bipolar, even global, distribution at the species level.     

Deep-Sea Sediment Compression Curves: Some Controlling Factors, Spurious Overconsolidation, Predictions, and Geophysical Reproduction

Oedometer tests have been carried out on 70 undisturbed surficial clays (at approximately 250 mm below the mudline), mostly collected by free-fall corers from sites widely scattered throughout the deep-sea North Atlantic. Acoustic measurements were also made, initially on contiguous samples and ultimately on the same sample using a geophysically instrumented oedometer which also collected electrical resistivity data. Apart from those quiescent areas below the carbonate compensation depth, such as north of the West Indies where very fine clays exist, most of the samples are silty clays whose geotechnical-geophysical properties are dependent on the type of clay minerals present (and their ability to take in moisture), the sand-size fraction, and the quantity of carbonate present. Thus the pure clays have high compressibilities which decrease on the addition of coarse particles, while the converse is true for the acoustic parameters, these increasing with the sand fraction. Using the notion of the intrinsic compression line for all samples, and comparison to it of the measured compression curves, it is clear that, contrary to some previously held ideas, most deep-sea clays are normally consolidated; the addition of carbonate has the effect of creating an open, stronger sediment skeleton. Interestingly, where information is available, the variation with depth of a sample's acoustic velocity follows the void ratio pressure relationship of the compression curve. This allows the construction of an in-situ sediment compression curve using the in-situ geophysical observations.

Evaluation of the Risk of Marine Slope Instability: A Pseudo-3D Approach for Application to Large Areas

This article presents a methodology developed to evaluate the instability of submarine slopes that extend over a large area. Special attention was paid to (1) the complex geometry (bathymetry) and the expanse of the slope, (2) the heterogeneity of the sediment, and (3) the distribution of the pore pressure. The safety factor was considered as a spatially varying quantity. The General Formulation (GLE, Fredlund and Krahn 1977), which fully satisfies equilibrium conditions, was used for evaluating the stability of the marine slope. The submarine slope failure, which occurred on 16 October 1979 during the construction of the new Nice airport, was studied in order to test the developed model. Geotechnical parameters were taken from experimental tests carried out by IFREMER on 19 cores extracted at different depths (from 27 m to 1300 m) (Cochonat, Bourillet, and Savoye, 1993; Mulder et al., 1994). Many scenarios were proposed in order to explain the cause of the Nice slope failure (Habib, 1994). In this article, two of those scenarios were tested. Simulation results are presented and discussed.
