Heavy metals distribution in agricultural topsoils in urban area

Intensive urbanisation of the Croatian capital of Zagreb has led to a situation where very good agricultural soils, developed mostly on Pleistocene eolian sediments and alluvial and proluvian Holocene sediments are entrapped within urban and suburban areas. Therefore the influence of urban and industrialised environments on the accumulation of metals in agricultural topsoils has been investigated. On an area of 860 km² of the wider Zagreb region, 331 samples were taken according to a regular 1ǵ km square mesh. Samples were dissolved in aqua regia and analysed for Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn with flame atomic aqua regia absorption spectroscopy. The following concentration ranges have been determined: Cd 0.25-3.85 mg kg^-1 (average 0.66 mg kg^-1), Cu 4.30-183 mg kg^-1 (average 20.8 mg kg^-1), Fe 5.8-51.8 g kg^-1 (average 27 g kg^-1), Mn 79.2-1282 mg kg^-1 (average 613 mg kg^-1), Ni 0.70-282 mg kg^-1 (average 49.5 mg kg^-1), Pb 1.50-139 mg kg^-1 (average 25.9 mg kg^-1), and Zn 15.2-277 mg kg^-1 (average 77.9 mg kg^-1). Visualisation of the spatial data is made by the aid of GIS, and selected maps of the heavy metal concentrations in topsoils are displayed. Statistical multivariate analysis was carried out for quantitative study and data were processed by means of R-mode factor analysis, applying the varimax-raw rotational technique. F1, which grouped Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn and partially Ni, is characterized as a factor with strongly scattered anthropogenic influence. The elements in F2, Fe, Mn and partially Ni are mainly of geogenic, i.e. pedogenic, origin. The variations in concentrations of the investigated elements are thus of both natural and anthropogenic origins. The variations in the main soil constituents, particularly Fe and Mn, are determined primarily by the composition of different regolithic substrates of the fluvial origin in recent pedogenesis. High concentrations of nickel are also related to morphogenetic characteristics of the wider region, primarily basic and ultrabasic magmatic rocks of the surrounding mountain range. It is, however, assumed that the anomalous nickel concentrations in the vicinity of the highway and the airport are of anthropogenic origin, i.e. caused by fuel combustion. Copper is characterized by strongly scattered anthropogenic influence, which is related particularly to uncontrolled solid waste disposals or discharges of liquid waste from households or agricultural enterprises. With Zn, Pb and Cd, there are two possible ways of diffuse pollution. The Sava River, which drains the area and feeds the abundant Quaternary aquifer spreading below the major part of the investigated agricultural areas, has been exposed to intensive pollution by mining, industry and cities in the recent history. The part of the area with the highest determined concentrations of Zn, Pb and Cd was repeatedly flooded as recently as the previous decade; therefore, the recent sedimentation of the river deposits exposed to pollution is a very probable cause of the accumulation of metals in this until recently inundation area. The other way is atmospheric deposition of particles from urban sources (industrial emission, traffic, waste disposals, heating plants, etc.). In addition to agricultural enterprises, several economically important, but ecologically risky, facilities are situated in the vicinity of the water-protection area. The area is intersected by a very busy ring road, while a marshalling yard, the city dump, pharmaceutical and chemical industry, the district-heating plant and the airport are all located in close proximity. The geochemical maps show a clear relationship between human activities and metal concentration gradients.     

Structural improvement of age-hardened gypsum-treated bauxite red mud waste using readily decomposable phyto-organics

Several years (7) after incidental lithification by added gypsum, the effect of crushing and phyto-organics on some physical properties of red mud wastes (RMW) was examined under laboratory conditions. It was hypothesized that mechanically breaking up the hardened masses would increase their permeability. However, on the contrary, crushing these rock-hard masses into <2-mm particles did not increase permeability. A phyto-organic treatment on the other hand greatly improved permeability of the crushed entities such that infiltration rates increased from 0 to 10 cm/h. After 24 weeks of incubation, the structure of the newly formed phyto-organically treated gypsum-hardened RMW aggregates was also substantially improved over that of the controls, as a >3-fold increase in resistance to disintegration during wet sieving was exhibited by the phyto-organically treated samples. The increase in water infiltration by combining crushing with phyto-organic applications was ascribed to a decrease in particle dispersion, creating more stable clay clusters, which in turn stabilized channels and pores. Conversely, it was concluded that the singular crushing of gypsum-hardened bauxite waste in the waste dumps is potentially wasteful and ineffective.     

鲁西地块中生代构造格局及其形成背景

结合近几年来鲁西地区1∶5万区域地质调查等成果,重点论述了鲁西地区中生代构造特征与盆地原型。提出中生代构造层次总体在垂向上可分为三个主要构造层,分别称为上部、中部和下部,并分别被中—下侏罗统、上侏罗统—下白垩统和上白垩统角度不整合覆盖,所以,相应地可将鲁西地块的中生代构造变形分为三个阶段:印支期、燕山中期和燕山晚期;平面上变形样式总体表现为三种构造样式,即:1印支期的近东西走向的宽缓—紧闭褶皱及逆冲构造;2燕山中期的北北东或南北走向的厢状褶皱—坡坪式逆冲系统;3燕山晚期的北东走向的冲断—走滑断裂带。但是,鲁西地区燕山期的构造变形特征和原型盆地有所变化,这种变化是基底构造格局及构造变形在空间上差异叠合的结果。综合研究表明,鲁西地块及邻区燕山期构造是在西太平洋大陆边缘弧的挤压构造背景下,陆内壳下拆沉和壳内挤出—逃逸构造的综合动力作用下形成的。     

大尺度水循环模拟系统不确定性研究进展(英文)

The regional hydrological system is extremely complex because it is affected not only by physical factors but also by human dimensions.And the hydrological models play a very important role in simulating the complex system.However,there have not been effective methods for the model reliability and uncertainty analysis due to its complexity and difficulty.The uncertainties in hydrological modeling come from four important aspects:uncertainties in input data and parameters,uncertainties in model structure,uncertainties in analysis method and the initial and boundary conditions.This paper systematically reviewed the recent advances in the study of the uncertainty analysis approaches in the large-scale complex hydrological model on the basis of uncertainty sources.Also,the shortcomings and insufficiencies in the uncertainty analysis for complex hydrological models are pointed out.And then a new uncertainty quantification platform PSUADE and its uncertainty quantification methods were introduced,which will be a powerful tool and platform for uncertainty analysis of large-scale complex hydrological models.Finally,some future perspectives on uncertainty quantification are put forward.     

硫酸盐还原菌及异化铁还原菌对 黄钾铁矾还原作用的对比

选取酸性矿坑水环境中常见的次生含铁硫酸盐矿物———黄钾铁矾[KFe3(SO4)2(OH)6]为研究对象,用硫酸盐还原菌 Desulfovibriovulgaris 和异化铁还原菌Shewanellaputrefaciens CN32对其进行还原实验,探讨作为重金属治理潜在材料的 黄钾铁矾的微生物稳定性.实验采用非增长型培养基,在中性、厌氧、30℃的条件下进行.采用湿化学方法测量水溶液及还原产 生的总Fe2+ ,利用X射线衍射(X-raydiffraction,简称XRD)来分析反应后残余固体物质的矿物组成,用扫描电镜(scanning electronicmicroscopy,简称SEM)观察固体残余物的形貌特征.结果表明,没有微生物的参与,黄钾铁矾的稳定性较好.异化铁 还原菌S.putrefaciens CN32和硫酸还原菌D .vulgaris 在营养极其匮乏的中性厌氧条件下均能还原黄钾铁矾晶格中的 Fe3+ ,显示出黄钾铁矾被微生物还原的可能性.S.putrefaciens CN32还原黄钾铁矾晶格中Fe3+ 的最大还原速率和最终Fe3+ 还原率分别为0.001mmol·L-1·h-1和0.37%.与S.putrefaciens CN32不同,D .vulgaris 对黄钾铁矾的还原能力较强,不 含有电子穿梭体(Anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate,简称AQDS)的实验体系中Fe3+ 的最大还原速率和最终Fe3+ 还原率分别为 0.017mmol·L-1·h-1和16.80%,而添加了AQDS的实验体系的则分别达到了0.026mmol·L-1·h-1和24.30%,这可能与 黄钾铁矾中含有SO42- 有关.D .vulgaris 优先还原黄钾铁矾晶格中的SO42- 产生的H2S是强还原剂,也可促进Fe3+ 的还原, 微生物以及H2S的双重作用可能是导致D .vulgaris 体系中Fe3+ 还原率较高的原因.XRD分析表明,黄钾铁矾经过S.putrefaciens CN32的作用,物相没有发生变化;而经过D .vulgaris 作用后,黄钾铁矾的特征峰消失,固相残余物中出现了菱铁 矿(FeCO3)、蓝铁矿[Fe3(PO4)2·8H2O]等次生矿物.由于培养基中没有添加任何的磷酸盐,因此蓝铁矿的出现可能是由于培 养基中添加的少量酵母浸膏降解后产生的磷酸根与D .vulgaris 还原黄钾铁矾产生的Fe2+ 相互作用的结果.这些认识对深入 理解地球表层铁的生物地球化学循环具有重要意义,为矿山环境重金属的污染治理提供了实验依据.      

扬子板块石炭纪沉积层序及其全球性对比研究

通过对石炭纪扬子板块内部、扬子板块与华北板块及扬子板块与欧美板块之间的不同级别沉积层序对比研究，编制了扬子板块、华北板块和欧美板块石炭纪的海平面变化曲线。在扬子板块内部，上、下扬子区２级沉积层序可以进行对比，但下扬子区海进和海岸上超滞后于上扬子区，由于资料的限制，３级沉积层序的对比还有困难；华北板块Ｆｕｓｕｌｉｎａ－Ｆｕｓｕｌｉｎｅｌａ带内的一个３级沉积层序和Ｔｒｉｔｉｃｉｔｅｓ－Ｐｅｕｄｏｓｃｈｗａｇｅｒｉｎａ带内的四个３级沉积层序，可以和扬子板块同期的３级沉积层序对比；扬子板块和北美中大陆不仅３级沉积层序可以对比，而且在晚石炭世Ｇｚｈｅｌｉａｎ期４级沉积层序也可以进行对比，但由于它们大地构造背景的差异，导致沉积层序组成内容的不同。上述对比结果被认为是冰川型全球海平面变化所形成全球沉积记录同时性的证据。并以冰期与非冰期、联合古陆形成前后等方面对相同板块内和不同板块间沉积层序的数量和级别的异同原因进行了探讨，认为石炭纪冈瓦纳大陆冰川消长是控制全球海平面变化的主要因素，因此，沉积层序应具全球同时性和可对比性，但局部沉积条件差异也将影响沉积层序组成。     

鄂尔多斯盆地延安地区山西组山2段储层可动流体赋存影响因素分析

山2段是鄂尔多斯盆地延安地区致密砂岩气生产的重要层段,目前对其流体赋存规律认识明显不足。因此在铸体薄片、扫描电镜、X射线衍射、高压压汞、恒速压汞、核磁共振测试的基础上,分析该储层可动流体的赋存特征及其影响因素。结果表明:山2储层主要为岩屑石英砂岩和岩屑砂岩,溶蚀孔和晶间孔为主要储集空间,粒间溶孔显著发育。山2储层可动流体饱和度为34.74%～91.83%,平均为69.94%,T2谱多为双峰态,呈左低右高型。储层孔隙度、渗透率、孔隙类型、孔喉特征及胶结物影响可动流体饱和度。孔隙为可动流体提供主要空间,平均孔隙半径越大,平均喉道半径越大,孔喉比越小,可动流体饱和度越高。硅质含量越高,粒间孔保存越好,可动流体饱和度越高。铁方解石含量越高,孔隙破坏越明显,可动流体饱和越低。高岭石含量较高,长石溶孔及晶间孔发育较好,有利于流体流动,可动流体饱和度也较高。     

高温高压下水流体pH值测量

高温高压下水流体的pH值是影响矿物-水流体相互作用平衡和动力学过程的一个重要参数。确定高温高压流体pH的方法主要包括电位势测量、化学分析与热力学计算及电导率方法。电位势测量在化学领域应用广泛,也被用来测量了洋中脊的热液流体的pH值。人们尝试了各种形式的电极,如氢电极、钯氢化物电极、金属-金属氧化物电极和钇稳定的氧化锆(YSZ)电极。玻璃电极只取得了有限的成果,通常用来测量常温及低温下的流体的pH值。对金属-金属氧化物电极在较宽的温度范围内进行了研究,但它需要利用合适的参比溶液来校正,与玻璃电极一样都表现出较大的偏移和误差以及不可回测性。陶瓷薄膜电极,如钇稳定的氧化锆(YSZ)电极,为测量相对较高温度下的pH值提供了一个可靠的方法。利用高温淬火水的化学分析和常温下的pH的测量,通过求解络合反应质量平衡与所有组分质量平衡的联立方程,来计算指定温度压力下pH值和水溶液种类的分布,是获得高温pH值的另一个重要而常用的方法,但热力学数据中的数值误差和不确定性以及分析误差能够影响计算出的高温溶液的pH值的精度。对高温高压超临界水流体的电导测量已经取得很大的成就,它被用来作为确定溶液内部离子反应平衡常数的一种最常用的方法,通过获得的这些反应的平衡常数,就可以得到在高温高压下流体的就位物质组成,这个方法可以测量更高温度压力下流体的pH值。

再论塔里木板块的归属问题

长期以来，对塔里木板块属于华北板块？扬子板块？还是一个独立的板块？一直存在争议。本文根据塔里木板前寒武纪基底的性质，古生代沉积建造序列，生物古地理区系的面貌和古地磁资料认为：（１）塔里木是属于前寒武纪陆壳基底的独立板块，与周边板块之间的存在不同规模的洋盆；（２）早古生代时，塔里木位于南半球，更接近于扬子板块，而远离华北板块（３）在古生代一中生代时，塔里木板块与周边坡板块先后碰撞，直到三叠纪末，塔里
