Spectrofluorometric Applications in Studying Macroalgal Exudates*

Abstract. In this paper we present a one-year investigation on the fluorescence characteristics of released products of selected Adriatic seaweeds. The technique chosen was UV-fluorescence spectroscopy with the synchronous mode, which involves the stepping of the excitation and emission monochromators. The five species, of representative macrophytes, Cystoseira compressa, Dictyopreris polypodioides, Gracilaria bursapastoris, Pterocladia capillacea, and Ulva rigida, were chosen on the basis of their dominance in the plant communities typical for the area near Split - Central Adriatic. Our results suggest that macroalgal-related dissolved fluorescent matter can be categorized into two distinct groups of fluorescing compounds with the following excitation wavelengths: one from 320–360 nm, probably for compounds with 2 fused aromatic rings, and another from 360–420 nm, corresponding with 3 & 4 fused rings. The contribution of aromatics with 2 and with 3 & 4 rings was very similar in the brown algae Cysroseira compressa and Dictyopteris polypodioides, while in the red algae Gracilaria bursapastoris and Pterocludia capillacea as well in the green alga Ulva rigida the group with 2 rings dominated.

Development of a fluorescence quenching assay to measure the fraction of organic carbon present in self-assembled gels in seawater

The dissolved organic carbon pool (DOC) is among the largest reservoir of reduced carbon on our planet. The demonstration that DOC polymers remain in assembly/dispersion equilibrium forming microscopic hydrogels has a broad range of critical implications. Previous studies estimate that  10% of DOC could be assembled as gels, yielding values of  7 × 10¹⁶ g of organic carbon present as microscopic hotspots of high substrate concentration. This huge mass of reduced carbon emphasizes the need to develop reliable methods to systematically investigate the budget of self-assembled marine gels (SAG), and their role in biogeochemical cycling. However, a quantitative method to measure SAG in seawater has not been available. Here we present the validation of a simple assay to measure the mass of organic carbon assembled as microgels in native seawater. This method is based on the ratio of Chlortetracycline (CTC) fluorescence quenching between Ca bound to non-assembled organic molecules and molecules assembled as microgels. This assay can be readily implemented on board using a low cost fluorometer and provisions to measure TOC.

Coupling of a Column System with ICP‐MS for the Characterisation of Colloid‐mediated Metal(loid) Transport in Porous Media

In this work a coupling method for the characterisation of colloid‐mediated transport of the metal(loid) species in porous media was developed. For this transport experiments quartz sand was used as column packing material and the synthetic three‐layer clay mineral laponite as model colloid. The determination of colloids was conducted by means of UV detection. The quantification of the metal(loid) ions was carried out in two different ways: (1) The fractions collected at the column outlet were analysed with an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP‐MS) (offline measurements); (2) the column system was directly coupled with ICP‐MS (online measurements). In the column experiments the influence of laponite colloids on the transport of Cu, Pb, Zn, Pt and As species was investigated. In the offline experiments as a consequence of dilution during sample preparation no metal(loid) species at the column outlet could be found. Unlike this the breakthrough of all metal(loid)s could be detected under the same experimental column conditions in the coupling experiments. This coupling technique offers the online detection of the metal species and colloidal particles with high resolution even at low concentrations and without any time‐consuming preparation. The coupling experiments have shown that the laponite particles accelerate the transport of the cationic metals. For anionic metal(loid) species no influence of laponite on their transport behaviour was found.

腾格里沙漠昂格尔图湖记录的988 AD以来的古气候变化

通过对腾格里沙漠东南部昂格尔图湖岩芯AGE15A的粒度、碳酸盐的百分含量和主要化学元素等多项沉积学气候代用指标及精确定年的综合分析,重建了该区域988 AD以来的古气候变化序列。结果表明：988 AD以来的研究区的气候环境的演化过程与我国西北西风区古气候变化基本一致,呈现"冷湿-暖干"交替变化的特征,但在时间上存在一定的延迟。具体表现为：988~1383 AD,昂格尔图湖由洼地发育成小型湖泊,化学风化作用弱,湖区气候环境整体偏冷湿,期间出现几次暖波动;1383~1560 AD,研究区处在中世纪暖期,为温暖、干旱的气候特征,此时湖泊扩张,湖中水生植物生长茂盛,呼吸作用增强,造成大量的碳酸盐沉淀,最高值达到8.16%;1560~1700 AD,致使气候在昂格尔图湖形成之后出现最寒冷的时期,降水增加,气候湿冷,此时段与小冰期最盛期相对应;1700 AD之后,温度开始上升,气候回暖,在1900 AD左右达到最甚,此时沉积物中碳酸盐的百分含量也达到最大值,为10.15%,此期间湖泊继续扩张,出现几次气候冷波动。基于我国古代文献重建的历史时期气候变化基本不包括沙漠地区,所以本文利用湖相沉积记录来反演腾格里沙漠昂格尔图湖历史时期的气候环境演变,对中国沙漠研究有着重要参考价值,同时也为中国西北历史时期的气候重建提供科学依据。     

等离子质谱(ICP-MS)对高含量元素硫样品中的微量元素分析前处理方法初探

用等离子质谱(ICP-MS)分析一些特殊样品的时候,前处理方法成为分析样品成功与否的关键,对于高基质含量的样品测量其微量元素含量更是如此。元素硫超过99%的自然硫样品中微量元素的测定一般使用燃烧的方法去除自然硫,但是一些易挥发性的元素也因此失去而测不出来。作者试图采用硫升华的方法去除硫基质,通过在原样品中加入内标,分析测定后计算内标的回收率确定出元素Be,Sn,Sc,U和稀土元素(REE)的回收率都在90%以上,可以用升华硫方法很好地测定,而元素Tl,Hf,W,Nb,Zr,Ta等的回收率则在75%以下,不适合用该种方法测定。
