Integrated geophysical and geochemical study on AMD generation at the Haveri Au–Cu mine tailings,SW Finland

The Haveri tailings area contains 1.5 Mt of sulfide-bearing waste from the Au–Cu mine that operated during 1942–1961. Geophysical and geochemical methods were used to evaluate and characterize the generation of acid mine drainage (AMD). Correlations were examined among the electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) data, the total sulfide content and concentrations of sulfide-bound metals (Cu, Co, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn) of tailings samples, and the resistivity and geochemistry of surface water. The resulting geophysical–geochemical model defines an area in the vadose tailings, where a low resistivity anomaly (<10 Ohm m) is correlated with the highest sulfide content, extensive sulfide oxidation and low pH (average 3.1). The physical and geochemical conditions, resulting from the oxidation of the sulfide minerals, suggest that the low resistivity anomaly is associated with acidic and metal-rich porewater (i.e., AMD). The lower resistivity values in the saturated zone of the central impoundment suggest the formation of a plume of AMD. The natural subsoil layer (silt and clay) and the bedrock surface below the tailings area were well mapped from the ERT data. The detected fracture zones of the bedrock that could work as leakage pathways for AMD were consistent with previous geological studies. The integrated methodology of the study offers a promising approach to fast and reliable monitoring of areas of potential AMD generation and its subsurface movement over large areas (ca. 9 ha). This methodology could be helpful in planning drill core sampling locations for geochemical and mineralogical analysis, groundwater sampling, and choosing and monitoring remedial programs.

Quantification of electrical resistance to estimate NaCl behavior in a column under controlled conditions

Accurate prediction of solute transport processes in surface water and its underlying bed is an important task not only for proper management of the surface water but also for pollution control in these water bodies. Key issue in this task is an estimation of parameters as diffusion coefficient and velocity for solute transport both in water body and in the underlying bed. This estimation would greatly help us to understand the deposition and release mechanism of solute across the water-bed interface. In this study, a column experiment was conducted in laboratory to estimate the velocity and diffusion coefficient of sodium chloride (NaCl) in water body and underlying sand layer (bed). The column used with a diameter of 30 cm and a height of 100 cm, was filled with sand at the lower half part and water at the upper half part. Total 64 stainless steel electrodes were installed on its surface around. The sodium chloride solution was injected from the top of the column, and electrical resistance between electrodes was monitored for 71 h. Then the dimensionless resistance breakthrough curve was fitted with one dimensional analytic solution for solute transport and the related diffusion coefficient and velocity parameters were estimated. The results show that the NaCl transport velocity was high in the water body but extremely low in the underlying sand layer (bed). The diffusion coefficient estimated in sand layer coincides with those reported well. This indicates that the electrical resistance based solute transport parameter estimation method is not only effective but also has an advantage of multipoints monitoring. This is useful both in mapping solute transport parameter for solute transport process analysis and in providing parameter input for solute transport numerical modeling.

西准噶尔恰达地区哈尔加乌组火山岩锆石U-Pb年代学、地球化学及地质意义

恰达地区的二叠系哈尔加乌组火山岩分布于唐巴勒蛇绿岩带东侧、准噶尔盆地西南缘,主要岩性为灰绿色-紫红色(气孔)(杏仁)玄武岩-玄武安山岩-安山岩。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄为(296.6±8.1) Ma,MSWD=7.7(93%置信度),时代属早二叠世。地球化学研究表明:该火山岩属亚碱性系列,全碱含量较高(w(Na₂O+K₂O)=3.95%~6.39%)且相对富钠。轻稀土(LREE)相对富集((La/Yb)_N=3.49~14.66)且分馏较好((La/Sm)_N值均大于1.00(1.68~3.51)),重稀土分馏较差((Gd/Yb)_N=1.38~2.56)。仅部分样品有微弱的负铕异常(δEu=0.88~1.15)。微量元素具有大离子亲石元素(LILE)相对富集,高场强元素(HFSE)Nb、Ta相对亏损,Zr、Hf轻微富集的特征。综合火山岩的地球化学特征,结合相关构造判别图解及火山岩所处的区域地质背景,认为哈尔加乌组火山岩的形成背景以板内大陆环境为主,兼有部分弧火山岩的特征,形成于俯冲碰撞造山期后的区域伸展背景下,火山岩的岛弧特征是对碰撞前混染弧组分的继承。     

Adsorption of copper (II) on mesoporous silica: the effect of nano-scale confinement

Nano-scale spatial confinement can alter chemistry at mineral–water interfaces. These nano-scale confinement effects can lead to anomalous fate and transport behavior of aqueous metal species. When a fluid resides in a nanoporous environments (pore size under 100 nm), the observed density, surface tension, and dielectric constant diverge from those measured in the bulk. To evaluate the impact of nano-scale confinement on the adsorption of copper (Cu²⁺), we performed batch adsorption studies using mesoporous silica. Mesoporous silica with the narrow distribution of pore diameters (SBA-15; 8, 6, and 4 nm pore diameters) was chosen since the silanol functional groups are typical to surface environments. Batch adsorption isotherms were fit with adsorption models (Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin–Radushkevich) and adsorption kinetic data were fit to a pseudo-first-order reaction model. We found that with decreasing pore size, the maximum surface area-normalized uptake of Cu²⁺ increased. The pseudo-first-order kinetic model demonstrates that the adsorption is faster as the pore size decreases from 8 to 4 nm. We attribute these effects to the deviations in fundamental water properties as pore diameter decreases. In particular, these effects are most notable in SBA-15 with a 4-nm pore where the changes in water properties may be responsible for the enhanced Cu mobility, and therefore, faster Cu adsorption kinetics.
