环境样品中甲基汞的检测方法综述

综述了常用的环境样品中甲基汞的检测方法和检测步骤,认为在实际的甲基汞检测过程中,选择或评价所选用检测方法的原则通常是,在确保检测限的基础上,首选考虑检测结果的精确度如何,而快捷方便、经济实惠的检测技术也是现实运用中的实际需要。作为定量检测,GC分别与AAS、AES、AFS的联用是目前较常用的技术,而与ICP-MS或ID-ICPMS的联用,在今后的实际检测中将得到更广泛的运用。生物传感器检测到的汞一般是生物可利用的汞,降低其检测限并将其作为对污染水体与沉积物检测的重要方法,也是今后研究的重点。总之,在人类对环境安全和身体健康日益重视的今天,发展高灵敏度、高准确度、快速方便和低成本的检测技术是未来甲基汞检测的重要发展方向。     

胶州湾水体镉的迁移过程和环境本底值结构

根据1979年的胶州湾水域调查资料,分析重金属Cd在胶州湾水域的水平分布、垂直分布和季节变化。研究结果表明:在整个胶州湾水域,水质没有受到任何Cd的污染。在胶州湾和湾口水域只有两个Cd的来源。一个是来源于地壳岩石风化,通过陆地径流把重金属Cd注入胶州湾水域;另一个是来源于海底,经过海洋水流的作用把重金属Cd注入湾口水域。作者提出了重金属在水域的环境本底值结构:基础本底值、陆地径流的输入量和海洋水流的输入量,并且应用于胶州湾水域。作者认为在来源的迁移过程中,有陆地来源迁移和海底来源迁移。根据杨东方的水域迁移过程研究,陆地径流决定了Cd的表、底层质量浓度变化。     

Volcanically Driven Terrestrial Environmental Perturbations during the Carnian Pluvial Episode in the Eastern Tethys

The Carnian Pluvial Episode (CPE) fingerprints global environmental perturbations and biological extinction on land and oceans and is potentially linked to the Wrangellia Large Igneous Province (LIP). However, the correlation between terrestrial environmental changes and Wrangellia volcanism in the Ordos Basin during the CPE remains poorly understood. Records of negative carbon isotopic excursions (NCIEs), mercury (Hg), Hg/TOC, and Hg enrichment factor (HgEF) from oil shales in a large-scale terrestrial Ordos Basin in the Eastern Tethys were correlated with marine and other terrestrial successions. The three significant NCIEs in the study section were consistently correlated with those in the CPE successions of Europe, the UK, and South and North China. The U-Pb geochronology indicates a Ladinian–Carnian age for the Chang 7 Member. A comprehensive overview of the geochronology, NCIE correlation, and previous bio- and chronostratigraphic frameworks shows that the Ladinian–Carnian boundary is located in the lower part of Chang 7 in the Yishicun section. HgEF may be a more reliable proxy for tracing volcanic eruptions than the Hg/TOC ratio because the accumulation rates of TOC content largely vary in terrestrial and marine successions. The records of Hg, Hg/TOC, HgEF, and NCIEs in the Ordos Basin aligned with Carnian successions worldwide and were marked by similar anomalies, indicating a global response to the Wrangellia LIP during the CPE. Anoxia, a warm-humid climate, enhancement of detrital input, and NCIEs are synchronous with the CPE interval in the Ordos Basin, which suggests that the CPE combined with the regional Qinling Orogeny should dominate the enhanced rate of terrigenous input and paleoenvironmental evolution in the Ordos Basin.     

西太平洋暖池近3万年来的沉积序列及其环境特征-WP92-3柱样的REE记录

WP92-3柱样采自西太平洋暖池核心区。利用稀土元素(REE)特征参数研究了该柱样的沉积物来源和地层序列划分,并对其所揭示的环境变化特征进行了探讨。研究认为:样品的REE分布模式揭示了该海域的沉积物源主要为海相自生沉积;基于REE指标的垂向深度变化特征可将该柱样划分为3个地层序列;∑REE,LREE/HREE和δCe几个指标对环境的温度变化以及地磁场的极性变换均有良好的响应,∑REE高值段基本对应于δ18O和SST所揭示的暖池低温期,而地磁场极性转变的时间正好对应着稀土指标(∑REE,LREE/HREE和δCe)快速大幅波动的层位。REE特征参数较好地记录了暖池区近3万年来的沉积和环境变化信息,是一组对气候环境演化具有潜在良好指示作用的地球化学指标。     

柱撑蛭石吸附去除废水中重金属离子的实验研究

分别利用有机柱化剂十二烷基磺酸钠(SDS)和无机柱化剂聚羟基铝(HA)对蛭石进行柱撑制得十二烷基磺酸钠柱撑蛭石(SDS-V erm icu lite)和聚羟基铝柱撑蛭石(HA-V erm icu lite),并通过XRD、红外光谱、ZETA电位等表征手段对柱撑蛭石进行表征,同时针对柱撑蛭石对Cu2 ,Cd2 ,C r3 3种重金属离子的吸附进行研究,结果表明:吸附去除率受反应时间、重金属离子的初始浓度、pH值等因素的影响,经柱撑后的蛭石对重金属离子吸附的吸附性能比蛭石原矿要强。柱撑蛭石吸附3种重金属离子的动力学吸附过程可用E lov icb方程和双常数方程进行较好的拟合。     

Extreme events as drivers of early human behaviour in Africa? The case for variability,not catastrophic drought

Extreme Late Quaternary climatic events, sometimes of considerable continental extent, are being proposed as major contributors to ancestral human behaviour, particularly migration, in Africa. Most recently, a catastrophic drought in the Afro‐Asian monsoon region has been proposed for 16 000–17 000 years ago, driven by global impacts of the Heinrich event 1 (H1), with potentially significant consequences for Palaeolithic cultures. We provide a new analysis of the assertion and find, on examination of a wide set of palaeoenvironmental records, that the scale and extent of the proposed drought is not supported. While some parts of the African tropics, close to the equator, do appear dry at this time, data for the tropics as a whole suggest markedly variable terrestrial conditions, with some environmental systems experiencing very positive hydrological excursions during H1. We contend that in the quest for evidence of climate drivers of ancestral human behaviour, the variability associated with spatially and temporally complex climatic conditions is a significant factor in itself.
