春季黄、渤海沉积物中CH4和N2O的垂向分布特征研究

本研究分别利用顶空平衡法与qPCR技术测定了2018年春季黄、渤海5个典型站位柱状沉积物中甲烷(CH₄)和氧化亚氮(N₂O)浓度及产甲烷菌与硫酸盐还原菌功能基因拷贝数,并分析了其与间隙水中相关环境因子的关系。沉积物上方水文条件的差异以及其中复杂的碳氮生物地球化学过程使得CH₄和N₂O浓度呈现出明显的空间和垂直变化。结果显示,沉积物中CH₄浓度为0.23~0.92 μmol·kg^-1,N₂O浓度为18.90~104.96 nmol·kg^-1。总体来说,渤海沉积物中CH₄和N₂O平均浓度高于黄海。垂向分布上,CH₄浓度均随深度增加逐渐升高, $\text{SO}_{4}^{2-}$浓度随深度增加逐渐降低,并与CH₄浓度呈镜像关系,产甲烷菌与硫酸盐还原菌的丰度也遵循着同样规律,这表明沉积物中产甲烷作用受$\text{SO}_{4}^{2-}$浓度的抑制。 mcrA基因拷贝数平均值为渤海低于黄海。除3500-7站外,沉积物中mcrA基因拷贝数随深度增加而升高。各站位mcrA 基因丰度与CH₄浓度均无显著相关性,且mcrA丰度与$\text{SO}_{4}^{2-}$浓度之间也未检测到显著相关性。dsrB基因拷贝数远高于mcrA基因拷贝数,且两者相差至少两个数量级。 dsrB基因拷贝数随深度逐渐增加,直至10 cm左右,随后至沉积物底部逐渐减少。各站位dsrB基因拷贝数与CH₄浓度剖面略有镜像关系,但均未检测到显著负相关性。以上结果均表明沉积物中存在着同时消耗沉积物中$\text{SO}_{4}^{2-}$与CH₄的其他作用。N₂O浓度随深度增加先降低,在深度30 cm以下逐渐升高。间隙水中$\text{NO}_{3}^{-}$和$\text{NO}_{2}^{-}$浓度均随深度减小,同时$\text{NH}_{4}^{+}$浓度与其呈相反趋势。沉积物中N₂O与$\text{NO}_{2}^{-}$及$\text{NO}_{3}^{-}$浓度均呈正相关,且前者相关性较高,说明反硝化作用是沉积物中N₂O产生的主要过程。这些结果为进一步了解近岸陆架海域沉积物中CH₄和N₂O的来源、分布及碳氮生物地球化学循环提供了参考资料。

Excessive greenhouse gas emissions from wastewater treatment plants by using the chemical oxygen demand standard

Chemical oxygen demand(COD)is widely used as an organic pollution indicator in wastewater treatment plants.Large amounts of organic matter are removed during treatment processes to meet environmental standards,and consequently,substantial greenhouse gases(GHGs)such as methane(CH₄)are released.However,the COD indicator covers a great amount of refractory organic matter that is not a pollutant and could be a potential carbon sink.Here,we collected and analysed COD data from 86 worldwide municipal wastewater treatment plants(WWTPs)and applied a model published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to estimate the emission of CH₄ due to recalcitrant organic compound processing in China’s municipal wastewater treatment systems.Our results showed that the average contribution of refractory COD to total COD removal was55%in 86 WWTPs.The amount of CH₄ released from the treatment of recalcitrant organic matter in 2018 could have been as high as 38.22 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent,which amounts to the annual carbon sequestered by China’s wetlands.This suggests that the use of COD as an indicator for organic pollution is undue and needs to be revised to reduce the emission of GHG.In fact,leaving nontoxic recalcitrant organic matter in the wastewater may create a significant carbon sink and will save energy during the treatment process,aiming at carbon neutrality in the wastewater treatment industry.     

Numerical simulation of deep-hole resistivity anomaly caused by drilling construction in Xinfengjiang geoelectric station

The Xinfengjiang reservoir in Guangdong Province, is one of the large reservoirs that have triggered earthquakes of magnitude greater than 6. Numerous earthquakes have occurred since the impoundment of the reservoir, making it one of the most active seismic zones in south China. In 2015, a set of deep-hole resistivity anomalies was observed in the Heping geoelectric station in Dongyuan county, located near the Xinfengjiang reservoir. After a field investigation, we found that a planned well drilling construction of new measuring channels was being carried out during that corresponding period of time. After careful comparison and analysis on the basis of the collected raw data, we had a reason to believe that drilling construction, rather than the inducement of the Xinfengjiang reservoir, was the main culprit for those unusual georesistivity values. So as to verify the above conjecture, we constructed a series of 3D finite element models based on the geological and hydrological information around Heping station and analyzed the drilling disturbances, respectively. Some significant conclusions were finally drawn according to the precise numerical simulation. This study gives a good example by combining numerical simulation with engineering practice as a way to understand the root cause of georesistivity anomalies in reality.     

川东南盆缘常压区页岩裂缝脉体特征及古压力演化

为了查明川东南盆缘常压页岩气区五峰组页岩裂缝脉体记录的古温度及古压力特征,揭示常压页岩气区储层压力降低的主要影响因素和页岩气散失机理.以松坎地区五峰组黑色碳质页岩裂缝脉体内的流体包裹体为主要研究对象,通过显微镜光学观察、阴极发光测试、包裹体测温和激光拉曼分析,结合埋藏-生烃-热史模拟,对裂缝脉体中的气-液两相盐水包裹体和高密度甲烷包裹体进行了系统研究.研究表明:松坎地区五峰组裂缝中主要存在着两期脉体充填,M1裂缝脉体形成时间距今约103~86 Ma,脉体较宽、阴极发光颜色为橘红色,其内甲烷包裹体捕获压力为82.6~91.5 MPa,反映燕山中期盆缘地区页岩气藏处在超压状态;M2裂缝脉体生长于M1裂缝脉体两侧,形成时间距今约90~72 Ma,脉体较窄、阴极发光颜色为暗红色,其内甲烷包裹体捕获压力为43.6~47.3 MPa.综合分析认为,川东南盆缘松坎地区五峰组在燕山期经历了由超压至常压的转变.燕山期以来的抬升剥蚀与褶皱变形导致地层内大量页岩气沿着滑脱层发生侧向运移和散失,地层压力快速下降.燕山晚期时,盆内稳定构造区页岩气藏仍处于超压状态,而盆缘地区已降至常压.      

塔中地区良里塔格组海平面变化对高频层序和沉积演化的控制

【研究目的】碳酸盐岩地层易受海平面变化影响而发育高频层序,但是反映海平面变化的地化指标的精度不足,导致高频层序对海平面振荡的响应认识不够深入,高频海平面变化对台地边缘礁滩沉积的高频层序和沉积演化的控制尚不明确。【研究方法】论文研究选取塔里木盆地塔中地区某钻井的上奥陶统良里塔格组连续取心资料,通过密集取样开展微相分析和碳、氧同位素测试分析。【研究结果】该井良里塔格组中上部发育7种微相类型,沉积演化分析表明良里塔格组沉积中—晚期,沉积环境由潮坪向生物礁-颗粒滩再到较深水的开阔台地演化。碳、氧同位素测试显示δ¹³C为0.5993‰~1.6228‰（均值1.139‰）,δ¹⁸O值为-8.3608‰~-5.1452‰（均值为-6.790‰）;δ¹³C和δ¹⁸O的振荡变化与微相变化和沉积旋回对应良好。古海洋条件分析表明,良里塔格组沉积时期气候温热,礁、滩体发育层段样品的古温度值最高,代表着高的碳酸盐产率;Z值所反映的古盐度在底部潮坪沉积段最高,在高频旋回的顶部古盐度均明显减小,指示可能存在大气淡水的影响。与塔北地区南缘和巴楚地区的δ¹³C和δ¹⁸O存在一定差异,主要受控于沉积环境和古水深。【结论】良里塔格组中—上部存在至少3个完整的海平面升降变化周期,内部又包括至少2个次级周期;不同级别的海平面振荡主要受古气候变化驱动,并控制了高频层序的发育。海平面先缓慢上升再持续稳定或小规模振荡,是连续厚层的生物碎屑和砂屑颗粒滩沉积发育的有利条件;良里塔格组沉积晚期海平面快速上升,沉积环境向滩间洼地和较深水的开阔台地转变。在高频层序顶部海平面的小规模下降导致的早期岩溶作用是礁滩体储层质量改善的重要因素。     

灌注桩动力特性试验与数值模拟研究

结合某风洞建设项目现场桩基动力特性试验,采用三维有限差分模拟软件FLAC^3D建立双桩模型基础进行计算机仿真,分析结果与试验数据吻合良好,验证了基于桩−土−结构共同作用开展数值模拟求解设备荷载作用下桩基础动力响应方法的合理性。进一步建立灌注桩后注浆模型,探讨采取不同桩侧阻力和桩端阻力增强系数对桩基动力特性的影响。结果表明：灌注桩后注浆对竖向振动的共振频率没有影响,对水平回转振动的共振频率、最大振幅、地基抗剪刚度系数和地基水平转向第1振型阻尼比的影响均很小;灌注桩后注浆能起到提高桩基抗压刚度、减少桩基最大振幅的效果,但相对于未注浆其效果有限。
