Arsenic Distribution Pattern in Different Sources of Drinking Water and their Geological Background in Guanzhong Basin,Shaanxi, China

To study arsenic(As) content and distribution patterns as well as the genesis of different kinds of water, especially the different sources of drinking water in Guanzhong Basin, Shaanxi province, China, 139 water samples were collected at 62 sampling points from wells of different depths, from hot springs, and rivers. The As content of these samples was measured by the intermittent flowhydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry method(HG-AFS). The As concentrations in the drinking water in Guanzhong Basin vary greatly(0.00–68.08 μg/L), and the As concentration of groundwater in southern Guanzhong Basin is different from that in the northern Guanzhong Basin. Even within the same location in southern Guanzhong Basin, the As concentrations at different depths vary greatly. As concentration of groundwater from the shallow wells(50 m deep, 0.56–3.87 μg/L) is much lower than from deep wells(110–360 m deep, 19.34–62.91 μg/L), whereas As concentration in water of any depth in northern Guanzhong Basin is 10 μg/L. Southern Guanzhong Basin is a newly discovered high-As groundwater area in China. The high-As groundwater is mainly distributed in areas between the Qinling Mountains and Weihe River; it has only been found at depths ranging from 110 to 360 m in confined aquifers, which store water in the Lishi and Wucheng Loess(Lower and Middle Pleistocene) in the southern Guanzhong Basin. As concentration of hot spring water is 6.47–11.94 μg/L; that of geothermal water between 1000 and 1500 m deep is 43.68–68.08 μg/L. The high-As well water at depths from 110 to 360 m in southern Guanzhong Basin has a very low fluorine(F) value, which is generally 0.10 mg/L. Otherwise, the hot springs of Lintong and Tangyu and the geothermal water in southern Guanzhong Basin have very high F values(8.07–14.96 mg/L). The results indicate that highAs groundwater in depths from 110 to 360 m is unlikely to have a direct relationship with the geothermal water in the same area. As concentration of all reservoirs and rivers(both contaminated and uncontaminated) in the Guanzhong Basin is 10 μg/L. This shows that pollution in the surface water is not the source of the high-As in the southern Guanzhong Basin. The partition boundaries of the high- and low-As groundwater area corresponds to the partition boundaries of the tectonic units in the Guanzhong Basin. This probably indicates that the high-As groundwater areas can be correlated to their geological underpinning and structural framework. In southern Guanzhong Basin, the main sources of drinking water for villages and small towns today are wells between 110–360 m deep. All of their As contents exceed the limit of the Chinese National Standard and the International Standard(10 μg/L) and so local residents should use other sources of clean water that are 50 m deep, instead of deep groundwater(110 to 360 m) for their drinking water supply.     

Underwater target detection using multichannel subband adaptivefiltering and high-order correlation schemes

In this paper, new pre- and post-processing schemes are developed to process shallow-water sonar data to improve the accuracy of target detection. A multichannel subband adaptive filtering is applied to preprocess the data in order to isolate the potential target returns from the acoustic backscattered signals and improve the signal-to-reverberation ratio. This is done by estimating the time delays associated with the reflections in different subbands. The preprocessed results are then beamformed to generate an image for each ping of the sonar. The testing results on both the simulated and real data revealed the efficiency of this scheme in time-delay estimation and its capability in removing most of the competing reverberations and noise. To improve detection rate while significantly minimizing the incident of false detections, a high-order correlation (HOC) method for postprocessing the beamformed images is then developed. This method determines the consistency in occurrence of the target returns in several consecutive pings. The application of the HOC process to the real beamformed sonar data showed the ability of this method for removing the clutter and at the same time boosting the target returns in several consecutive pings. The algorithm is simple, fast, and easy to implement

长江三角洲北翼第一硬土层理化特征及其地质成因

在长江河口两翼广泛分布第一硬土层（FHSL）,研究其形成机制及工程地质特性对工程建设具有很好的指导意义。根据调查资料（钻孔935个,累计进尺42128 m）和试验资料,首次精确确认了长江河口北翼第一硬土层分布界线,研究了第一硬土层的形成年代、粒度特征、地球化学特征、工程地质特性等。研究表明：第一硬土层形成年龄为20 ~ 11 ka B.P.（多个光释光和14C测年资料） ;硬土层含水率随深度的增加有增大的趋势,表明气候自下向上逐渐变凉和变干;第一硬土层的颗粒级配、粒度分布频率曲线、C-M沉积图等特征显示,第一硬土层主要由粉砂、极细砂和粘土粒级组成,样品的粒度频率曲线主要呈单峰分布,反映出物质沉积前所受搬运营力性质单一,土体颗粒沉积以均匀悬浮占绝对优势,沉积环境是一种相对稳定的低能环境。第一硬土层的发育受气候控制,大致可以分为3个阶段：第1阶段(20 ~ 15 ka B.P.)为沉积与成土交替作用时期,且以沉积作用为主,硬土层剖面厚度主要受该阶段控制,至末次盛冰期结束;第2阶段(15 ~ 11 ka B.P.)为暴露成土期,这时洪水不能形成越岸沉积,加积作用基本停止,硬土层厚度不再明显增加,已形成的第一硬土区域受到频繁变迁的分合河网的侵蚀切割,形成多条不规则古河道和台地,硬土层逐渐脱水成陆,经历了风化成壤的过程;第3阶段(11 ka B.P. 至今)为淹埋期,随着全新世的到来,气候变暖,海平面不断上升,硬土层被其上覆的海相沉积层掩埋,成岩作用开始直到现今。土体易溶盐含量较高,为典型氯盐渍土类型,自下而上具有从低变高的趋势,为海相层覆盖硬土层以后成岩过程造成的。     

“双碳”背景下的清洁能源资源——钍

放射性元素钍（Th）有较广泛的工业用途,含钍核燃料清洁且高效,在“双碳”背景下得到了越来越多的关注。然而,世界范围内钍资源的分布、生产和消费却极不均衡,因此亟需在资源−经济−环境系统中对钍资源分布格局和特征进行分析研究,建立全面认识。通过梳理钍资源的勘查开发、生产加工及消费贸易数据,对中国和全球钍资源类型、分布、供需和消费形势展开分析,明确钍在资源−经济−环境系统中的流动特征,并对资源发展规划提出建议。研究表明,全球钍资源丰富却分布不均,主要以砂矿类型集中于印度、巴西等少数国家,而中国钍矿资源以碳酸岩型和碱性岩型为主,资源丰富但缺少准确的勘查数据;钍主要来自于砂矿型独居石的采选和冶炼,工艺成熟,近10年全球钍产量呈波动上涨趋势;根据钍的流向分析,钍金属及其化合物主要应用于能源、材料、冶金、医学等领域,而钍的环境排放集中于矿石采选过程。鉴于钍核燃料的发展潜力,未来钍产量上升空间较大,能源领域的应用将更加广泛。中国优势钍矿床类型有别于其他国家,且亟需系统全面的资源调查工作,在“双碳”目标要求下,开展钍提取工艺技术的创新与推广,合理规划发展钍基核电技术,具有重大的环境和经济意义。
