Experimental study on reduction of U (Ⅵ) by an anaerobic bacterium, Shewanella putrefaciens: Application to sandstone-hosted interlayer oxidation-zone type uranium deposits, China

An experimental study on reduction of U (Ⅵ) by anaerobic bacteria, Shewane//a putrefaciens, is first reported here in China. The experimental conditions were: 35℃ and pH =7.0-7.4, corresponding to a physicochemical environments in which the sandstone-hosted interlayer oxidation-zone type uranium deposit formed in Northwest China's Xinjiang. Bacteria adopted in the present experiment, Shewanella putrefaciens, occur extensively in natural environment. Our study shows that nano-crystal precipitates of uraninite quickly occurred on the surface of the cells within one week. It was found that the pitchblende was characterized by a random arrangement of uraninite nanocrystals (2-4 nm) in it, significantly different from natural pitchblende in which uraninite nanocrystals are arranged in order. Finally, a possible mechanism of uranium biomineralization by microorganisms in the deposits is discussed. Our investigation may supply a technical train of thoughts for bioremediation of nuclear-contaminated water environments and for underground dissolving extraction of the sandstone-hosted uranium ores.     

1996-2022年黄河三角洲行水河口岸线稳定性研究

黄河清八汊现行河口自改汊以来发生了巨大变化,监测其岸线变化,探讨其稳定程度对海岸带可持续发展以及海岸带韧性评估具有重要意义。本研究利用GPS、GIS、RS技术从1996—2022年黄河三角洲行水河口的220幅遥感影像中推断出年平均海岸线位置,同时根据行水河口摆动次数划分为5个阶段,并以此为基础对海岸线变迁及其稳定性进行定量分析。结果表明：行水河口岸线长期处于动态变化过程中,整体呈淤进状态,各岸段岸线时空变化特征不同,最大侵蚀（-73.89m/a）区出现在两丁坝之间,最大淤积（393.20m/a）区出现在河口区附近。研究区90%的岸线表现为较强淤积至严重淤积,稳定性指数由两丁坝之间（0.135）、2007年出汊前旧河口（0.068）、2007年出汊后新生河口（0.006）依次降低。入海水沙量、河口位置变迁以及沿岸输沙是影响岸线稳定性出现时空差异的主要原因。     

合肥盆地三尖铺组^40Ar—^39Ar同位素年代地层学研究

合肥盆地南缘中生代红层层序及时代,由于缺乏可靠的化石依据,曾几经变动人为因素很大。根据三尖铺组红层中泥炭在沉积或成岩作用条件下形成的伊利石之＾４０Ａｒ－＾３９Ａｒ定年,其坪年龄为１５７．７￣１５９．９５Ｍａ,等时线年龄为１５７．２￣１５９．９Ｍａ,并用Ｋ－Ａｒ法测年进行对比和验证,其值为１５１．８￣１５５．８Ｍａ,故确定其时代下限应为中株罗世晚期（卡洛维期）,上限可能达晚侏罗世早期（牛津期）。＾４     

冀北赤城花岗岩的锆石SHRIMP年龄及其地质意义

冀北赤城侵位于红旗营子群中的花岗岩体主要有马营的红墩梁、清泉堡的冰山梁、云州水库的舍身崖和镇宁堡的东沟楼等岩体,属于陆壳成因的钙碱性系列花岗岩类。其中,红墩梁、舍身崖和东沟楼等岩体为黑云二长花岗岩,以富SiO2,贫Al2O3,Na2O和K2O为特征,εNd(t)为-13.25~-15.80,锆石SHRIMP年龄介于136 Ma与144 Ma之间,形成于燕山期;冰山粱岩体为花岗闪长岩类,以贫SiO2,富Al2O3,Na2O和K2O为特征,εNd(t)为-12.18,锆石SHRIMP年龄为228 Ma之间,形成于印支期。花岗岩的锆石SHRIMP年龄数据表明赤城地区存在有印支期和燕山期两次花岗岩浆活动事件,可能反映出华北克拉通破坏始于印支期,而在燕山期达到高潮。     

冀北赤城红旗营子群中变质橄榄岩的岩石学与地球化学特征

冀北赤城红旗营子群中变质橄榄岩呈透镜状或团块状产于黑云斜长片麻岩之中,通过对其进行详细的岩石学和地球化学研究.结果显示:岩石类型为强烈蛇纹石化的方辉橄榄岩,具粒状变晶结构或鬣刺结构,变质橄榄岩富ω(MgO)(37.49%～38.91%),贫ω(CaO)(0.12%～1.17%),ω(Al2O3)(0.54%～1.54%)和ω(FeO*)(5.51%～9.06%),ω(TiO2)介于0.01%～0.04%之间,REE含量低于原始地幔,过渡金属元素表现为不对称的"W"型配分型式,在Ti和Cu处形成明显的负异常"谷".上述特征表明变质橄榄岩相当于SSZ型地幔橄榄岩,可能来自于消减带之下的上地幔,属于部分熔融程度很高的亏损地幔岩,因构造侵位而分布于红旗营子群之中,部分岩块则经历了俯冲-消减作用而形成鬣刺结构.     

Variational Bayesian independent component analysis for spectral unmixing in remote sensing image

Spectral unmixing is a key technology of optical remote sensing image analysis; it not only influences the accuracy of the extraction of land cover information and automatic classification of topographical objects, but also greatly hinders the development of quantitative remote sensing. Independent component analysis (ICA) is a statistical method which is recently developed to extract the independent linear components, and which can realize the extraction of endmembers as well as fractional abundances with little a priori knowledge. However, ICA still cannot process the correlations among the various components. To overcome this problem, variational Bayesian independent component analysis (VBICA) has been proposed to process optical remote sensing images. In the Bayesian framework, the separation of independent components of remote sensing image has finally been achieved with conditional independence standards of Bayesian network and approximate variational algorithm. In the simulative image and real AVIRIS hyperspectral remote sensing image, the VBICA algorithm demonstrates its better performance. The experiment’s results indicate that the proposed VBICA algorithm is feasible, which has obvious advantages and a good application prospect. The reason is that it can effectively overcome the correlations between the various components in remote sensing images and break through the limitations of traditional remote sensing images analysis. Last but not least, the VBICA algorithm is applied in the classification of the TM multispectral remote sensing images. Compared to basic maximum likelihood classification, principal component analysis and FastICA algorithms, VBICA improves the classification accuracy of remote sensing images, and contributes to the further extension of the application of ICA in remote sensing image analysis.     

Reconstruction of palaeosalinity using carbon isotopes and benthic associations: a comparison

Carbon and oxygen isotopes were determined on 40 recrystallized shells of Late Jurassic bivalves from the Lusitanian Basin of Portugal. In contrast with the oxygen isotopes, which exhibited considerable diagenetic distortion, the carbon isotopes are thought to preserve a record of the salinity of the Jurassic marginal marine seas in which these bivalves lived. The reconstructed palaeosalinities range from 35%o (euhaline) to 5% (oligohaline). Comparing these values with the palaeosalinity reconstructed from a palaeoecological analysis of 17 stratigraphic levels within the basin, the independently derived values agree in most cases. Strongly differing values are explained as being due to biotic factors and to diagenetic distortion of the isotopic signal; they are less likely to be due to smallscale time-averaging or insufficient microstratigraphic sampling. On the whole, the carbon isotope analyses are thought to produce reasonable palaeosalinity values, although data from infaunal, originally aragonitic bivalves appear to be less reliable than those from epifaunal bivalves with a predominantly or exclusively calcitic shell. As diagenetic alteration of the carbon isotope signal is, however, unpredictable and biotic effects on the isotopic composition are insufficiently known, palaeosalinity reconstructions based on stable isotope data should be supported by palaeoecological data.
