Ein Beitrag zur Bestimmung von Anilin/Phenol in Wasser/Abwasser mittels UV-Derivativspektroskopie. Teil 1: Das analytische Grundverfahren

Ultraviolet derivative spectroscopy was used as an analytical tool for the direct and simultaneous determination of aniline and phenol in water. It is shown that the diA/dλi values are proportional to aniline (i = 2, 4) and phenol (i = 2, 4 and 5) concentrations at 205.3 or 271.6 … 282.8 nm. The performance characteristics are discussed in detail. Thus the best precision resulted in both aniline and phenol for the second derivatives. The accuracy of the methods applied is independent on the derivative order and concentration levels within the dynamic range of 1 to 10 mg · 1^?1 aniline or phenol respectively.     

Ein Pollendiagramm aus dem Untergrund des Zürichsees

Zusammenfassung Im Sommer 1952 wurden von Prof.Otto Jaag im Zürichsee cine Reihe von Tiefenbohrungen ausgeführt. Ein Bohrkern von 830 cm L?nge, der in 140 m Seetiefe entnommen worden war, wurde pollenanalytisch durchge-gearbeitet. Der See erreicht an dieser Stelle seine gr?sste Tiefe, und sein Boden ist auf einer Fl?che von 1000 m Breite und 7000 m L?nge ganz flach, was dafür Gew?hr bietet, dass die Sedimentation ungest?rt vor sich gehen konnte. Der Bohrkern bestand aus tonreichem Mergel oder unreiner Soekreide, mit einzelnen Einlagerungen von Sand (Abb. 2). Er reichte bis in die waldfreie Zeit des Sp?tglazials hinab. Die Ergebnisse der Pollenanalyse sind in den Abbildungen 2 und 3 zusammengestellt. In Abbildung 2, rechts aussen, wird versucht, die Ablagerung nach den Zeitstufen vonBlytt-Sernander undFranz Firbas zu gliedern. Dabei ergaben sich Schwierigkeiten, und es ist fraglich, ob die natürlichen Grenzen in unserm Diagramm mit der zeitlich festgelegten Periodeneinteilung der oben genannten Forscher immer in übereinstimmung gebracht werden k?nnen. Auch wenn die gleiche Waldfolge gefunden wird, so dürften die Waldzeiten im Alpenvorland teilweise wesentlich früher in Erscheinung getreten sein als weiter gegen Norden hin.

Summary During the summer of 1952 several deep boring into the underground of the Zürich-see were carried out by Prof. Dr.O. Jaag. One boring core with a length of 830 cm obtained under 140 m lake water was carefully investigated by pollenanalysis. In the spot from where this core originated, the lake reaches its greatest depth and its bottom is entirely flat within an area of 1000 m to 7000 m, which guarantees that the sedimentary process could continue without disturbance. The boring core consisted of loamy marl or lake-lime (Seekreide) with very few sandy layers (Fig. 2). The eldest samples date from woodless late-glacial time. Results of pollenanalysis are summarized in Figures 2 and 3. In Figure 2 (right outside) it was tried to divide the deposit into time-periods according toBlytt-Sernander andF. Firbas. However there arose certain difficulties and it remains doubtful, whether the natural limits in our diagram agree in each case with the fixed periods of the above named authors. Even where the same sequence of forest-development is found it is likely that some of the same forestperiods were realized considerably earlier in the foreland of the Alps than in northernmore parts of Europe.

Die Durchführung der Bohrungen, die im Jahre 1952 stattfanden, wurde erm?glicht dank grosszügiger finanzieller Unterstützung durch dieVolkart-Stiftung, Winterthur, durch dieKulturkommission der Gemeinde Zollikon ZH sowie durch dieBeh?rden der Stadt und des Kantons Zürich.

Die Kreide in der Zentralkordillere östlich von Lima (Peru,Südamerika)

Lower and Upper Cretaceous sediments were investigated in the Peruvian Central Cordillera. As in the western facies of Central and Northern Peru, the Goyllarisquisga Group is subdivided into several lithologically different formations, in which sediments were transported from east to west. The area of investigation is situated west of the facies boundary between Marañon geanticline and West Peruvian trough; this indicates that the boundary continues south and does not follow the line Celendin-Rio Palanga as suggested byWilson. The limestones and dolomites of the Santa Formation were deposited in shallow water, possibly with intermittent subaerial exposure. The sandstone of the Farrat Formation are interpreted to be sediments of a west-east transgression; vertically they grade into the limestones of the Pariahuanca-Formation. Facies and thickness of the Chulec and Pariahuanca-Formation are little different from those in neighbouring areas. During deposition of the thick Jumasha Formation, the differences are much more significant, and only comparison with Northwest Peru shows some agreement.     

Spectroscopic investigation of the chromosphere

The line profile of H as emanating from the interior of supergranular cells was measured at sin = 0, 0.6, 0.8 and 0.9. The measurements are described and the results presented.Mitteilung aus dem Fraunhofer Institut Nr. 117.     

210Pb in GEOSECS water profiles from the North Pacific

Ten GEOSECS profiles from the North Pacific have been analyzed for²¹⁰Pb. GEOSECS²²⁶Ra data on the same profiles are used to calculate²¹⁰Pb excess or deficiency relative to secular equilibrium. The resultant profiles are divisible into a thermocline zone (<2000m) showing an expected decrease with depth, a mid-water zone of about 2000 m showing small constant deficiencies with a zone of increasing deficiency to a bottom zone of about 1000 m having the highest deficiency virtually invariant with depth. The exponentially decreasing portion in the thermocline yields a “diffusion” coefficient of 3 cm²/s. The mid-water deficiencies yield ? model residence times of 400 years northeast of Hawaii decreasing to 100 years at the most marginal stations.     

A Study of Ozone Laminae Using Diabatic Trajectories, Contour Advection and Photochemical Trajectory Model Simulations.

In this paper, we show that the rate of ozone loss in both polar and mid-latitudes, derived from ozonesonde and satellite data, has almost the same vertical distribution (although opposite sense) to that of ozone laminae abundance. Ozone laminae appear in the lower stratosphere soon after the polar vortex is established in autumn, increase in number throughout the winter and reach a maximum abundance in late winter or spring. We indicate a possible coupling between mid-winter, sudden stratospheric warmings (when the vortex is weakened or disrupted) and the abundance of ozone laminae using a 23-year record of ozonesonde data from the World Ozone Data Center in Canada combined with monthly-mean January polar temperatures at 30 hPa.Results are presented from an experiment conducted during the winter of 1994/95, in phase II of the Second European Stratospheric And Mid-latitude Experiment (SESAME), in which 93 ozone-enhanced laminae of polar origin observed by ozonesondes at different time and locations are linked by diabatic trajectories, enabling them to be probed twice or more. It is shown that, in general, ozone concentrations inside laminae fall progressively with time, mixing irreversibly with mid-latitude air on time-scales of a few weeks. A particular set of laminae which advected across Europe during mid February 1995 are examined in detail. These laminae were observed almost simultaneously at seven ozonesonde stations, providing information on their spatial scales. The development of these laminae has been modelled using the Contour Advection algorithm of Norton (1994), adding support to the concept that many laminae are extrusions of vortex air. Finally, a photochemical trajectory model is used to show that, if the air in the laminae is chemically activated, it will impact on mid-latitude ozone concentrations. An estimate is made of the potential number of ozone molecules lost each winter via this mechanism.     

Contribution of SHRIMP U–Pb zircon geochronology to unravelling the evolution of Brazilian Neoproterozoic fold belts

The South-American continent is constituted of three major geologic–geotectonic entities: the homonym platform (consolidated at the end of the Cambrian), the Andean chain (essentially Meso-Cenozoic) and the Patagonian terrains, affected by tectonism and magmatism through almost all of the Phanerozoic. The platform is constituted by a series of cratonic nuclei (pre-Tonian, fragments of the Rodinia fission) surrounded by a complex fabric of Neoproterozoic structural provinces.
