楚科奇海和白令海沉积地层中甾醇的物源组成及其周边气候效应

楚科奇海 C-8短柱沉积样中检出甾醇化合物碳数 C_(27)、C_(28)、C_(29)和C_(30)双键位置在5-和5,22-及22,24-的甾醇;白令海 B2-9短柱沉积样中检出甾醇化合物碳数 C27、C28和 C29双键位置在5-和5,22-及22-的甾醇。从两个海域的甾醇组合特征来看,主要来自陆源碎屑物质以及海洋硅质生物自生源组成。研究还表明楚科奇海和白令海沉积地层(2-0cm)中甾醇异常记录对应时间段约20世纪80年代-90年代未,保存着北极增暖的信号,这是北极海域生态环境对周边气候变化作出的响应。

Geochemical Characteristics and Sources of Some Chemical Components in Sediments of Zhuiiang（Pearl） River Estuary

Sediment cores with length of 25 - 45cm at 12 stations in Zhujiang(Pearl) River Estuary were sampled in summer of 1999. Chemical components (Al2O3 , Fe2O3, CaO, TiO2, Cu, Pb, Cr, Zn, Co, Ni, V, Ba, Sr and Y) and grain sizes were analyzed. Sediments in Zhujiang River Estuary are characterized by relatively coarse grain size. The grain sizes of the sediments in the area outside the estuary are relatively finer than those in the north part of the estuary but coarser than those in the middle of Lingdingyang and have a trend similar to the spatial distribution trend of some chemical components such as Fe2O3, Al2O3, TiO2, V, Cu, Ni, Zn and Y. This showed that grain size is an important factor that controls the spatial distribution and depth profile of chemical elements in the Zhujiang River Estuary. Frequent re-suspension, re-transportation and redistribution of settled sediment on estuary floor could be deduced from the spatial distributions and depth profiles of chemical components. Except for CaO and Sr, the chemical components always enrich at the west side of, in the middle of, and at the north side of, the estuary. Fe2O3, Al2O3, Ti, V, Cr, Ni, Zn, Cu and Y in Zhujiang River Estuary sediments mainly result from rock and soil weathering except that parts of Cr, Ni, Zn Cu and Y are anthropogenic. CaO and Sr in sediments originate from marine source. Although Co as well as Pb derives from anthropogenic sources, human activities related to Co might differ from the activities related to Pb.     

胡安·德富卡洋中脊富锌烟囱体流体通道演化特征

对采自Faulty Towers(47°57.447'N,129°6.568'W)硫化物烟囱群一个不再活动的烟囱体硫化物开展了详细的矿物学和地球化学研究。样品从外壁往内壁方向可划分为4个矿物组合带,分别为重晶石-无定形硅-铁氧羟化物带;白铁矿-黄铁矿-无定形硅-重晶石带;白铁矿-黄铁矿-闪锌矿-纤锌矿带;纤锌矿-黄铜矿-白铁矿带。从底部到顶部,样品通道形态主要有3种:不规则、不连续的多通道;椭圆形单通道;封闭的通道。矿物学研究证实,烟囱体以低温矿物组合白铁矿、纤锌矿为主,高温矿物黄铜矿少见,仅局限分布在流体通道附近。210Pb定年结果表明,烟囱壁形成经历较短时间(约3 a),而通道的闭合则经历了相对长的过程(约17 a)。结合矿物学研究,最终恢复了整个尖塔结构的生长历史。     

南海东北部晚更新世以来沉积环境演变的矿物-地球化学记录

对南海东北部69柱(20°07.10'N,118°49.0'E)沉积物岩心进行碎屑矿物-地球化学特征研究,结果表明,以孔深165cm为界可划分出晚更新世末次冰期沉积和全新世冰后期沉积,这一地层划分结果与根据浮游有孔虫氧、碳同位素分析得出的结果是一致的.末次冰期时自生黄铁矿和硫元素高度富集,钠与铝、镁与铝和钠与钾的比值均较高,重矿物和SiO₂含量较高,CaCO₃含量较低,反映当时是一种相对闭塞的缺氧环境,气候干寒,化学风化作用较弱,以机械风化作用为主;研究区主要接受粒径较粗的硅质沉积;陆源物质的稀释作用可能是造成碳酸盐含量相对较低的主要原因.冰后期褐铁矿出现高含量,钠与铝、镁与铝和钠与钾的比值均降低,Al₂O₃和CaCO₃含量增高,反映沉积环境渐变为开放的氧化环境,气候转变为化学风化作用较强的湿热气候;研究区以接受较细粒的铝硅酸盐沉积为主,冰消期时还出现了碳酸盐保存高峰事件.     

Laboratory Simulation on Phosphorus Releasing near the Water／Sediment Interface in the East China Sea off the Changjiang Estuary

Surface sediment samples taken from the East China Sea off the Changjiang estuary are used as raw materials for phosphorus releasing experiment. It is found that after being thoroughly mixed with seawater for about 10 minutes, phosphorus released from the sediments reaches its maximum value. Adsorption kinetics can be fitted with both Elovich equation and two-constant rate equation. The releasing amount is closely related to the composition of the sediments. Phosphorus release from silty and muddy sediment is higher than from that dominated by sandy composition. For the desorption reaction, iron-phosphorus(Fe-P) is the most active one, with a releasing ratio higher than other phosphorus forms,followed by absorbed-phosphorus (Ad-P) and organic bound phosphorus (OP). All of them can be referred to as bio-available phosphorus. The results demonstrate that phosphorus in sediments can be released into seawater under suitable hydrodynamic conditions, and have a great impact on the nutrition state and primary productivity of marine biosphere.     

南海北部甲烷渗漏活动存在的证据:近底层海水甲烷高浓度异常

用吹扫-捕集法对东沙群岛西南和西沙海槽附近海域5个站位水柱中的甲烷浓度进行了测定,在其中的3个站位发现了甲烷高浓度异常。在东沙群岛西南海域的E105A和E106两站位近底层海水中甲烷浓度均出现异常增加,其值分别为4.25和10.64 nmol/dm3。在西沙海槽附近的E413站位甲烷异常出现在1 750,1 900和2 050 m深的近底层水中,浓度分别达5.17,8.48和8.70 nmol/dm3。在近底层海水中出现的甲烷高浓度异常是由于沉积物下部甲烷渗漏活动造成的,结合前人在这两个海域沉积物的地球物理和化学调查资料,认为可能是与冷泉渗漏或天然气水合物分解有关。2007年5月在探测到甲烷高浓度明显异常的东沙群岛西南神弧海域,获得了天然气水合物的实物样品,但是西沙海槽附近海域近底层水的甲烷高浓度异常是来源于天然气水合物还是来源于冷泉需要进一步加以确认。     

溶解氧传感器探测技术及应用中的若干问题

溶解氧是维持海洋生物生存的重要物质,同时也是评价海洋生态环境的一个重要参数。传统的溶解氧探测方法一般是用采样器在海洋中取得样品后,在船上或陆上实验室进行分析。样品在采集和运输过程中不但易受污染,而且由于站位设置时间和经费的限制,传统溶解氧探测方法无法长期、大规模监测海洋     

东海特定海区表层沉积物中磷的形态、分布及其环境意义

对国家海洋局第二海洋研究所1998年5月调查过程中采集的长江口外东海特定海区表层沉积物综合运用了EDEX、ASPILA和李悦方法进行了系统的总磷及其磷赋存形态分析。把磷分为5种赋存形态：吸附态、铁结合态、钙结合态、碎屑态和有机态。同时，结合其他沉积物性质和化学组分以及海水环境特征，讨论了磷的地球化学特征及其环境意义。研究表明，表层沉积物中总磷(TP)、有机磷(0P)和铁结合态磷(Fe—P)的含量主要受控于物质来源；吸附态磷(Ad-P)与Fe—P和0P同属于沉积物中生物可利用磷范畴，其在沉积物中的循环主要与铁氧化物有关，钙结合态磷(Ca—P)主要来源于海洋浮游生物。
