Continuous fluorescence assessment of organic matter variability on the Bournbrook River,Birmingham, UK

Continuous monitoring of dissolved organic matter (DOM) character and concentration at hourly resolution is rare, despite the importance of analysing organic matter variability at high‐temporal resolution to evaluate river carbon budgeting, river water health by detecting episodic pollution and to determine short‐term variations in chemical and ecological function. The authors report a 2‐week experiment performed on DOM sampled from Bournbrook, Birmingham, UK, an urban river for which spectrophotometric (fluorescence, absorbance), physiochemical (dissolved organic carbon [DOC], electrical conductivity, pH) and isotopic (D/H) parameters have been measured at hourly frequency. Our results show that the river had sub‐daily variations in both organic matter concentration and characteristics. In particular, after relatively high‐magnitude precipitation events, organic carbon concentration increased, with an associated increase in intensity of both humic‐like and tryptophan‐like fluorescence. D/H isotopic ratio demonstrates different hydrological responses to different rainfall events, and organic matter character reflects this difference. Events with precipitation < 2 mm typically yielded isotopically heavy water with relatively hydrophilic DOM and relatively low specific absorbance. Events with precipitation > 2 mm had isotopically lighter water with higher specific absorbance and a decrease in the proportion of microbially derived to humic‐like fluorescence. In our heavily urbanized catchment, we interpret these signals as one where riverine DOM is dominated by storm sewer‐derived ‘old’ organic matter at low‐rainfall amounts and a mixed signal at high‐precipitation amounts where ‘event’ surface runoff‐derived organic matter dominate during storm sewer and combined sewer overflow routed DOM.

奇异星壳层塌缩的数值研究

当奇异星表面的电场不足以支撑整个壳层的时候,壳层就有可能全部落入奇异核中.对这一过程的研究,可以为观测上证认奇异星提供一些可能的理论线索.数值计算表明,底部密度为-8.3×1010gcm-3,亦即质量为-3 4×10-6M(?)的壳层在约5.4×10-3s时间内塌缩到奇异核中,可导致一次持续约0.15s的爆发事件.在过程中平均每个重子释放约6.3 MeV的能量,总辐射能则可高达-1046-1047ergs.这可以用来解释宇宙中一些爆发现象.

松辽盆地古龙凹陷页岩油储层中的纳孔纳缝及其原位成藏理论初探

古龙凹陷青山口组页岩油的,地质资源量达151亿t,是重要后备的油气资源。用电子背散射(HDBSD)发现了古龙页岩油储层中纳米孔和纳米缝非常发育,电子探针表明这些纳孔纳缝均被沥青充填。纳米孔的直径多在10～50 nm,中位数在20～30 nm,形态多不规则,多呈多角形,主要是一种E-F纳孔,其次为E-E纳孔,多与纳米缝联结。纳缝宽度多在10～50 nm,中位数也在20～30 nm。它们主要是由黏土片(黏土域)的F-F凝聚形成的。黏土的凝聚与有机质密切相关。黏土胶体由于同晶置换会带负电荷,使得其周围会吸附带正电的金属阳离子,形成一个带正电的黏土团。这种带正电的黏土团又会吸附带负电的腐殖酸(有机质)和初步降解的藻,形成一个有机黏土絮凝体。这种有机黏土絮凝体进入生排烃门限后,由于生排烃有机质体积会收缩,体积收缩最高可达87%。生排出的烃会就近充填在这种收缩形成的孔隙中,又由于纳孔纳缝的毛细阻力(约12 MPa)等使得排出的烃无法运移出去便形成了古龙页岩油的特殊连续原位油藏。     

松辽盆地西斜坡中—晚二叠世古沉积环境演化及油气地质意义

大兴安岭南部—松辽盆地西斜坡晚二叠世古沉积环境一直以来备受争议,关于该地区中—晚二叠世古环境演化方面的研究也鲜见报道。本文采用元素地球化学和有机地球化学相结合的研究方法,对松辽盆地西斜坡蒙科地1井中—晚二叠世古沉积环境演化特征进行综合研究。结果表明,中二叠世为明显的海相沉积,沉积水体相对较深,期间可能存在多次干热—暖湿波动,其中中二叠世ZSI晚期—ZSII早期较为明显,水体性质体现为咸水—微咸水—半咸水,水体还原性—偏氧化性—还原性,气候干热—温湿—干热。晚二叠世早期为微咸水—半咸水海相沉积,至晚二叠世晚期转变为淡水—微咸水海陆过渡相沉积,期间存在两次明显的气候环境波动,与中二叠世哲斯组沉积中期气候环境变化相似,表现为水体变浅、咸度降低、还原性减弱,气候由干热转向温湿。晚二叠世以来气候逐渐向温暖湿热转变,水体逐渐变浅,可能与二叠纪—三叠纪之交气候变暖有关。至三叠纪、侏罗纪时期,区域处于构造抬升阶段,沉积环境由海陆过渡相环境转变为陆相沉积。结合TOC、古生产力指标分析得出,中二叠世ZSI晚期—ZSII2早期、晚二叠世LXI晚期、晚二叠世LXII中期、晚二叠世LXIII沉积期偏湿润的气候条件和低咸度、弱还原—偏氧化性的沉积水体环境,是形成厚度较大、富有机质烃源岩的有利的气候环境条件。     

Experimental Simulation Study of the Dominant Enrichment Area of Terrestrial Organic Matter in the Shallow-Delta Sedimentary System of the Yacheng Formation in the Qiongdongnan Basin

Shallow-delta sedimentary systems receive both terrestrial and marine organic matter. As oil and gas exploration activities determine that the source rocks of the deep-water area of the Qiongdongnan Basin, northern South China Sea, are generally rich in and even dominated by terrestrial organic matter, this has led many researchers to examine the rules governing terrestrial organic matter enrichment in shallow-delta sea sedimentary systems. However, the deep burial of source rocks in deep-water areas and the relatively small amount of drilling undertaken have greatly restricted the study of these rules. In this study, the ‘forward modeling’ research method was used to observe and analyze the deposition and preservation of terrestrial organic matter through flume experiments, where the depositional results were carefully depicted and sampled. The total organic carbon content of selected samples was measured and when combined with qualitative observations and quantitative comparison results, the dominant enrichment areas of terrestrial organic matter were identified. The experimental results show that the overbank parts of the delta front, the dune countercurrent surface, the low-lying parts, the delta front slope area and the shallow-prodelta sea area are where terrestrial organic matter is predominantly enriched. This provides an important basis and guidance for the prediction of the development areas of marine source rocks with terrestrial input in the deep-water areas of the Qiongdongnan Basin.     

灼烧法中有机质与总有机碳换算关系的重建及其在页岩分析中的应用

有机质与总有机碳(TOC)的换算关系为wo=1.724×wTOC,难以满足当前页岩气开发的现场测定要求,需要作出修正。本文以鄂尔多斯盆地南部页岩样品为研究对象,在传统灼烧法基础上,采用X射线荧光光谱仪测定页岩组成,得出影响烧失量的因素;用热重-差热仪研究页岩灼烧情况,确定了无机盐不分解而有机质分解的最佳灼烧温度和时间。通过线性拟合灼烧法测得的有机质含量与仪器法测得的有机碳含量间的换算关系,建立了一种通过测定烧失量来换算总有机碳含量的新方法。在页岩最佳灼烧温度480℃,灼烧时间1.5 h条件下线性拟合建立了两种新的换算关系,获得TOC测定值与仪器法的标准值相对误差分别为1.691%、0.486%,检出限分别为0.41%、1.60%。综合它们的优缺点,可将测定页岩类样品的换算关系重建为wo=2.125×wTOC。重建的方法通过严格控制灼烧温度,解决了传统灼烧法中烧失量因无机盐高温分解造成有机质代表性不足的问题,可用于精确测定页岩中的有机质或有机碳含量。     

准噶尔盆地白垩系烃源岩与原油地球化学特征

准噶尔盆地白垩系含油气系统理论上具备一定的勘探能力,但研究程度较低。为加深对该问题的理解,分析了白垩系的烃源岩和原油地球化学特征,并进一步结合地质背景,探讨了勘探潜力。结果发现,白垩系发育有一定数量和规模的泥质烃源岩,存在有机碳TOC含量大于1.0%的样品,类型以Ⅱ型为主,目前主体处于低成熟—成熟演化阶段,因此可望具有一定的生烃,特别是生油潜力。油源对比发现白垩系的确有过原油生成,典型地球化学特征表现为轻碳同位素(-29.6‰~-27.9‰)、低Pr/Ph值(0.54~1.01)、高伽马蜡烷丰度(伽马蜡烷/C30藿烷=0.29~0.53),反映属于一类还原和盐度环境中有机质所生原油。这类原油主要分布在盆地南缘白垩系烃源岩的沉积中心区,表现出源控特征。这些认识可供国内外其他白垩系油气地质研究时类比考察。     

星地多源数据的区域土壤有机质数字制图

土壤有机质(SOM)是全球碳循环、土壤养分的重要组成部分,精确估算土壤有机质含量具有重要意义。本文以中国东北—华北平原为研究区,收集了1078个土壤样本,以遥感数据(MODIS,TRMM和STRM数据)与土壤地面光谱数据为预测因子,运用基于树形结构的数据挖掘技术构建土壤有机质-环境预测因子模型进行数字土壤制图。通过不同建模样本数建模精度比较,选择300个样本数时的模型为最优模型。建模结果表明土壤光谱和气候因子是研究区SOM变异的主控因子,生物因子次之,而地形因子影响最小。预测结果经检验,RMSE为7.25,R2为0.69,RPD为1.53制图结果与基于第二次全国土壤普查数据的土壤有机质地图具有相似的分布规律,呈现SOM自东北向西南递减的趋势。通过比较分析发现,经过20年左右的土地开发与利用,研究区低SOM和高SOM含量土壤面积减少,而中等SOM含量土壤面积增加。
