Associations and mobility of uranium in soils near a depleted uranium （DU） weapons testing site, SW Scotland

Natural uranium has three isotopes, ^238U, ^235U and ^234U, with natural abundances of 99.27 atom %, 0.72% and 0.0055%, respectively. Only ^235U is fissile and the production of nuclear fuel and nuclear weapons involves enrichment of uranium in ^235U. This process also results in separation of ^234U from ^238U, leaving depleted uranium （DU）, with typical ^234U/^238U and ^235U/^238U activity ratios of about 0.19 and 0.013, respectively, as a waste product. The high density, high melting and boiling points and chemical stability of uranium and the availability of DU in relatively pure form mean that DU has many uses, including armour-piercing munitions. Such munitions have been developed in the UK since the 1960s and testing has been carried out by the Ministry of Defence （MoD） at firing ranges such as Dundrennan, SW Scotland and Eskmeals, NW England. The firing of DU munitions can result in the dispersion of DU and its combustion products （oxides） as aerosols or as larger fragments, with the potential for human exposure either directly at the site of detonation or via post-depositional migration in the environment. The aim of this work was to investigate the potential environmental mobility of DU by characterizing the associations of U in soil porewaters with increasing distance from a firing site. To this end, several soil cores located down-wind of the firing site at Dundrennan, near Kirkcudbright, SW Scotland, were collected in May 2006. These were sectioned on-site into 1- or 2-cm depth intervals and porewaters were isolated by centfifugation （10 minutes; 8873 g） on return to the laboratory. Following filtration through 0.2-micron cellulose nitrate filters, the porewaters were analyzed by ICP-QMS （U concentration） and ICP-OES （Fe, Al, Ca, Mg, Mn concentrations）. Sub-samples were also subjected to centrifugal ultrafiltration （100, 30, and 3 kD） and to gel electrophoretic fractionation （agarose; 0.045 M Tris-borate; 20 mA, 30 minutes）. Results showed that U was present at up to 4 μg/L in the soil porewater and that the associations of U varied with sample location and soil depth.     

Water chemical behavior at Yangtze （Changjiang） River estuary

Geochemical cycling has received wide attention due to the need to understand the pathways of pollutants through our present environment. In this regard the Yangtze River plays a significant role in putting those pollutants into the East China SeafWorld Oceans. The Yangtze River is of high sedimentation rate and water discharge. The watershed covers variable climate regions from temperate to subtropical and from semiarid to humid. Twenty three （23） sampling locations at the estuary have been selected for understanding the dynamic relationships. The elements （Cl^-, SO4^2-, Na^＋, K^＋, and Ca^2＋） show conservative behavior during mixing of fresh water with saline water whereas Mg^2＋, Mn^2＋ show a non-conservative pattern . The relationships between Na^＋/SO4^2- and Cl^-/SO4^2- molar ratios show a mixing of more than two water sources.

中国中新生代咸化湖盆烃源岩沉积的问题及相关进展

我国东部断陷湖盆和西部坳陷湖盆第三系均有蒸发岩与烃源岩共生现象。前者水体深、咸化范围小，在氯化盐和碳酸盐沉积环境中形成了优质烃源岩，后者水体浅、咸化范围大，在氯化盐和硫酸盐沉积环境中发育了优质烃源岩，作者认为两种湖盆出现的水体分层是有机质堆积和保存的重要条件。济阳坳陷和柴达木盆地为两类咸化湖盆的典型代表，对它们的研究可以深化蒸发岩-烃源岩共生区油气地质的认识、促进勘探发展。

深穿透地球化学是针对寻找隐伏矿的需求而发展起来的一门新的地球化学分支学科，其理论基础由连续的几个要素构成：元素向地表的迁移机理一迁移到地表以后的赋存介质和赋存形式一形成异常模式的特征。本文针对元素从深部隐伏矿体向地表的迁移机理，总结了传统的具有代表性的3种迁移模型，包括离子扩散迁移模型、地下水溶解迁移模型和电化学迁移模型，并根据最新的研究成果，提出了地气流迁移模型和多营力迁移模型。这些模型的系统总结和提出对深穿透地球化学理论基础的建立和研究隐伏矿体元素的三维分散模式具有重要理论意义。     

滇西上芒岗红色粘土型金矿的元素地球化学特征及其物质来源探讨

对滇西上芒岗红色粘土型金矿的主元素，微量元素和稀土元素地球化学特征进行了详细的研究。结果表明，主元素Al2O3,Fe2O3和K2O在红色粘土剖面中共迁移同沉淀，SiO2的变化却与它们相反，这揭示了上芒岗红色粘土型金矿的红色粘土层除了残积带红土化程度高外，总体上SiO2含量高，去硅作用不完全，红土化程度低；与地层，矿化蚀变岩的对比分析结果表明，红色粘土是在加勐嘎组泥岩基础上经红土化作用形成的，红色粘土的微量元素表现为Au,Hg,As,Sb,Cu,Pb,Zn和Mo等元素的共生,在红土化好的残积带明显富集；红色粘土的大离子元素分布模式与矿化蚀变岩和嘎组的相似，红色粘土的稀土分布模式与矿化蚀变岩和地层的相似，表现为轻稀土富集的右倾型平缓曲线，稀土元素分蚀明显的地方金富集，以上分析揭示，此金矿的成矿物质主要来自矿化蚀变岩，红色粘土主要来源于勐嘎组和矿化蚀变岩。
