Impact of AMD on water quality in critical watershed in the Hudson River drainage basin: Phillips Mine,Hudson Highlands,New York

A sulfur and trace element enriched U–Th-laced tailings pile at the abandoned Phillips Mine in Garrison, New York, releases acid mine drainage (AMD, generally pH < 3, minimum pH 1.78) into the first-order Copper Mine Brook (CMB) that drains into the Hudson River. The pyrrhotite-rich Phillips Mine is located in the Highlands region, a critical water source for the New York metro area. A conceptual model for derivation/dissolution, sequestration, transport and dilution of contaminants is proposed. The acidic water interacts with the tailings, leaching and dissolving the trace metals. AMD evaporation during dry periods concentrates solid phase trace metals and sulfate, forming melanterite (FeSO₄·7H₂O) on sulfide-rich tailings surfaces. Wet periods dissolve these concentrates/precipitates, releasing stored acidity and trace metals into the CMB. Sediments along CMB are enriched in iron hydroxides which act as sinks for metals, indicating progressive sequestration that correlates with dilution and sharp rise in pH when mine water mixes with tributaries. Seasonal variations in metal concentrations were partly attributable to dissolution of the efflorescent salts with their sorbed metals and additional metals from surging acidic seepage induced by precipitation.     

Mineralogical study of base metal tailings with various sulfide contents, oxidized in laboratory columns and field lysimeters

 Oxidation of a flotation-derived, low-sulfide tailings containing approximately 0.4 wt.% S was compared with simultaneously oxidized tailings containing 1.0 wt.% S and 2.5 wt.% S to assess their acid generating characteristics. Each tailings type was exposed to oxidation for three years in laboratory columns and in lysimeter pits in the field. In these tailings the sulfide mineral of principal concern with respect to acid generation is pyrrhotite (Fe _1-x S). In past studies the alteration of pyrrhotite has been characterized by initial replacement with marcasite (FeS₂) and ferric iron sulfates, which are followed by development of ferric oxyhydroxides such as goethite and lepidocrocite. Macroscopic characterization of the tailings shows varying and progressive degrees of oxidation correlative with the three different sulfur contents. As expected, the tailings with the lowest sulfur content are the least oxidized, and those with the highest sulfur content have reacted the most. The column tests, which represent accelerated reaction conditions relative to those for the lysimeter pits, show much higher degrees of oxidation, and a markedly more distinct boundary between the oxidized and unoxidized zones; as well, differences among the three tailings types are more pronounced.

Experimental study of the stability of metals associated with iron oxyhydroxides precipitated in acid mine drainage

Iron oxyhydroxide precipitates associated with acid mine drainage (AMD) from the Stearns Coal Zone in southeastern Kentucky were analyzed for their metal (Al, Cu, Pb, Mn, Ni, and Zn) content. The most concentrated metals within these sediments are nickel (27–32×10³μmol/kg), manganese (16–29×10³μmol/kg), and aluminum (13–22×10³μmol/kg) as determined by HCl-HNO₃ digestion. Metal concentrations associated with the organic fraction as determined by H₂O₂ digestion were generally far lower, with the exception of aluminum. "Batch" experiments (at initial pH=2.0) were used to analyze the stability of these metals associated with a contaminated soil. Aluminum was the most mobile of the metals, presumably the result of the formation of aluminum-sulfate aqueous complexes. The solubilization rates for nickel and iron were very similar, suggesting that nickel, unlike the other metals, coprecipitated with iron in these sulfatic oxyhydroxides.

近36年遵义市暴雨洪涝灾害变化特征及成因分析

暴雨、大暴雨等自然因素和防洪、除涝工程等社会因数是影响暴雨洪涝灾害发生、发展的重要因素。基于1984-2019年遵义市13个国家气象观测站逐日降水量资料、遵义市第一次自然灾害风险普查暴雨洪涝灾害数据,采用常规统计、突变检验、线性倾向估计、相关分析、对比分析等方法,得出遵义市暴雨、大暴雨以及受灾面积的年际、年代际以及长期变化变化特征,同时揭示农作物受灾面积的变化成因。结果表明：近36年遵义市暴雨日数及其累计降水量呈波动式微弱增加趋势,大暴雨日数及其累计降水量呈显著减少趋势,暴雨、大暴雨均具有不同的阶段性变化特征。1984-1999年农作物受灾面积呈显著上升趋势,2000-2019年农作物受灾面积呈显著下降趋势。大暴雨日数及其累计降水量与受灾面积呈显著正相关,并且具有明显的阶段性差异。暴雨洪涝灾害发生、发展既受暴雨、大暴雨等气象自然因子影响,也受气象灾害防御工程和灾害性天气预报预警水平等社会因素影响。     

冲绳海槽浮岩中岩浆包裹体岩石化学成分特征

系统地分析了冲绳海槽酸性浮岸中玻璃质岩浆包裹体的岩石化学成分，探讨了包裹体的岩石化学成分特征及其在岩浆起源及结晶演化过程中的指示意义，并结合前期及前人工作讨论了冲绳海槽不同岩石类型之间的成因联系及演化关系。结果表明，斑晶结晶时岩浆熔体为钙碱性英安质或流纹质岩浆，是来自地幔的拉斑玄武质岩浆充分结晶分异作用的产物。尽管各斑晶矿物中玻璃质岩浆包裹体的化学成分有所差异，但根据包裹体的岩石化学成分特征可以断定包裹体所代表的岩浆具有同源性，其差异只是反映了岩浆结晶演化的不同阶段或不同矿物结晶期，为进一步详细研究浮岩岩浆的结晶演化过程提供了最直接的资料。对比冲绳海槽酸性浮岩与玄武岩等不同岩石类型的岩石化学特征，可以证明这些岩石类型之间存在着密切的成因联系，包括同源性与继承性，它们分别是岩浆作用不同阶段的产物。另外，包裹体的成分主要取决于包裹体所在斑晶矿物的种类与成分，分析中未发现岩石化学性质明显不同的岩浆包裹体共存的现象，也没有在中酸性矿物中发现基性玻璃质岩浆包裹体，因此可以推断基本不存在不同性质的岩浆之间的直接混合作用。     

基于偏振雷达的积层混合云降水增雨潜力识别方法研究

本文统计分析了北京地区近三年的有效降水,重点研究了积层混合云降水特点并对其分类,发现积层混合云降水出现频次约占总降水次数的61%,其中积层混合云降水以积层连结型和水平混合型为主,二者之和占近80%。重点分析了积层混合云中对流和层云两种不同特点降水类型的宏微观结构,确立了反射率因子Z、温度T、粒子含水量M、催化剂AgⅠ（碘化银）活化率NE和粒子相态HTC（hydrometeor type classification）为人工增雨潜力识别指标及这些识别指标的取值范围,同时也根据研究现状和人工影响天气需求总结制定出人工增雨潜力等级。利用偏振雷达构建模糊逻辑识别算法对积层混合云三种降水类型进行增雨潜力区域识别研究,结果表明:（1）对于播撒碘化银增雨来说,积层混合云的增雨潜力区在垂直方向上可分为上、中、下三层,上层（增雨等级为“不适合”）和下层（零度层及以下）分别受含水量和温度等影响不适合增雨,中间层（增雨等级大于等于“等级一”）是可增雨区域;（2）积层混合云中层云区增雨潜力较小,对流云区可增雨潜力要远大于层云区,开式流场型与积层连结型可增雨潜力要大于水平混合型;（3）当降水云中识别出霰粒子时,其附近的大部分区域会有较好的增雨潜力。通过偏振雷达实例检验和数值模式模拟在积层混合云不同部位播撒碘化银催化试验发现,在增雨潜力较好的区域催化有很明显增雨效果,模拟试验结论与偏振雷达识别增雨潜力区结果也基本一致,说明基于偏振雷达的增雨潜力区识别方法和结果是具有参考意义的。     

The potential formation of acid mine drainage in pyrite-bearing hard-coal tailings under water-saturated conditions: an experimental approach

 Annually, an amount of approximately 13 million cubic meters of hard-coal tailings must be disposed of in the German Ruhr Valley. Besides the waste of land in a densily populated region, the disposal of the pyrite-bearing material under atmospheric conditions may lead to the formation of acid mine drainage (AMD). Therefore, alternative disposal opportunities are of increasing importance, one of which being the use of tailings under water-saturated conditions, such as in backfilling of abandoned gravel pits or in the construction of waterways. In this case, the oxidation of pyrite, and hence the formation of AMD, is controlled by the amount of oxygen dissolved in the pore water of tailings deposited under water. In case the advective percolation of water is suppressed by sufficient compaction of the tailings, oxygen transport can be reduced to diffusive processes, which are limited by the diffusive flux of dissolved oxygen in equilibrium with the atmospheric pO₂. Calculations of the duration of pyrite oxidation based on laboratory experiments have shown that the reduction of oxygen is mainly controlled by the content of organic substance rather than the pyrite content, a fact that is supported by results from oxidation experiments with nitrate. A "worst case" study has lead to the result that the complete oxidation of a 1.5-m layer of hard-coal tailings deposited under water-saturated conditions would take as much as several hundred thousand years.

基于小时降水资料的贵州降水精细特征分析

摘要：利用2010—2019年贵州地区2683个自动气象站逐时降水观测资料,在结合地形特征分析了贵州降水总体时空特征的基础上,从平均雨强和降水概率方面进一步研究了贵州各季日内降水的精细化特征。结果表明：（1）贵州年降水时长和年降水量空间分布有所差异,其中位于大娄山脉北侧的遵义赤水和习水地区则仅为降水时长的大值区;（2）四季降水时长分布主要受当季主要降水系统位置的影响,而平均降水强度则兼受地理条件的影响,偏向山脉的南麓;（3）在日内降水分布上,贵州四季都存在明显的夜雨现象,其中下半夜到凌晨（00—06 时）降水发生概率更大且强度更强,其中心有明显自西向东传播的特征;（4）短时强降水主要出现在春夏两季且向东传播明显,并主要在夜间到早晨。
