Identification and evolution of hydrogeochemical processes in the groundwater environment in an area of the Palar and Cheyyar River Basins,Southern India

The Palar and Cheyyar River Basins in Tamil Nadu state of Southern India are characterised by different geological formations, and groundwater is the major source for domestic, agricultural and other water-related activities. Hydrogeochemical studies were carried out in this area with the objective of identifying the geochemical processes and their relation to groundwater quality. Groundwater samples were collected once a month from 43 groundwater wells in this area from January 1998 to July 1999. Sampling procedures and chemical analysis were carried out as per the standard methods. Chemical data are used for mathematical calculations and graphical plots to understand the chemical process and its relation to the groundwater quality. The chemical composition of groundwater in the central part of the study area mainly depends on the recharge from lakes and the river, which is explained by a mixing mechanism. In addition, weathering of silicate minerals controls the concentration of major ions such as sodium, calcium, magnesium and potassium in the groundwater of this area. Further, the activity ratios indicate that the groundwater is in equilibrium with kaolinite, smectite and montmorrillonite. The reverse ion exchange process controls the concentration of calcium, magnesium and sodium in hard rock formations, and dissolution of carbonate minerals and accessory minerals is the source of Ca and Mg, in addition to cation exchange in the sedimentary formations. In general, the chemical composition of the groundwater in this area is influenced by rock–water interaction, dissolution and deposition of carbonate and silicate minerals, ion exchange, and surface water interactions.

非稳态潜流交换过程研究进展

潜流交换研究涉及地表水-地下水系统交互作用的物理机制、影响因素和生化作用等方面,是近年来水文学、生态学、环境学等学科的研究热点。潜流交换过程包含水流运动、溶质运移以及能量传输过程。以稳态流动条件作为控制因素的潜流交换研究成果已经不能满足相关学科发展的要求。因此,近年来非稳态潜流交换过程的研究及其成果渐受关注。当前相关研究多以物理模型试验为主（如室内水槽试验、示踪试验）,辅以数值模拟或遥感技术进行验证,进而总结非稳态潜流交换过程水动力交换和能量交换过程规律。未来研究应在多时空尺度,集合多种高精度监测手段,研究潜流交换中的影响因素（如河流水位波动）,开发更精确的地表水-地下水耦合模型,系统认识非稳态潜流交换过程。有关非稳态潜流交换的研究结论将有效指导水资源保护与生态环境修复和综合治理。     

塔里木河下游胡杨气体交换特性及其环境解释

结合塔里木河下游不同地下水埋深下胡杨的气体交换参数及其环境因子的实测结果,探讨地下水位及环境因子对胡杨光合速率(Pn)、蒸腾速率(Tr)、气孔导度(gs)、水分利用效率(WUE)等气体交换参数的影响规律。研究表明:随着地下水位下降,胡杨净光合速率和蒸腾速率日变化最大值提前,地下水埋深越深,净光合速率“双峰”曲线趋势越明显,地下水位4.37 m以上时,蒸腾速率呈“双峰”曲线,当地下水位下降到5.91 m时,蒸腾速率呈“单峰”曲线;低地下水埋深下,光合作用受抑制的主要原因是气孔限制;随着地下水位下降,光合抑制的主要原因则是非气孔限制;适度水分胁迫有利于提高胡杨水分利用效率\.同时,结果显示: 4 m为胡杨的合理生态水位,地下水位为4~5 m时,胡杨受到轻度水分胁迫,低于6 m,胡杨受水分胁迫加剧。

磺酸型阳离子树脂的元素分配行为及高精度同位素分析应用

不同元素在离子交换树脂的分配系数是元素纯化和分离的基础,不同酸中各元素分配系数差异可用于设计高效的元素提纯流程,从而被广泛应用于现代高精度同位素分析。本文以AG®50W-X8阳离子树脂为研究对象,以分配系数(Kd)作为量化指标,通过系统实验研究不同元素在该树脂中的分配行为。在前人研究基础上,本实验增加了元素数量和酸的种类,涵盖了金属、类金属、非金属和稀土元素。结果表明：在盐酸和硝酸介质中,几乎所有元素的Kd都与酸度呈负相关,当酸度达到6mol/L时,除Th和Ca以外的所有元素都会被酸洗脱。稀土元素(REEs)和高场强元素在0.1～0.5mol/L稀硝酸和稀盐酸中强烈吸附在树脂上;而一些过渡金属、类金属和非金属元素(如Mo、W、Re、Ir、Sb、Ge、As、Se、Te等)在酸溶液中会形成含氧阴离子,不与阳离子树脂发生吸附。Al、Fe、Se、Pd、Cd、In等元素在盐酸中易与氯离子形成配位化合物或离子团,导致这些离子在盐酸中的分配系数显著降低。在硝酸和盐酸与氢氟酸的混合酸中,除稀土元素外,绝大部分元素随酸度增加Kd迅速降低。稀土元素在盐酸-氢氟酸混合介质中,随着盐酸的浓度增加(从0.1mol/L盐酸-0.2mol/L氢氟酸至6mol/L盐酸-0.2mol/L氢氟酸),稀土元素分配系数（KdREE）具有先增加后降低的趋势。氢氟酸的加入可显著降低Be、Al、Sc、Fe、Sn、Th、U、Ti、Zr、Hf等元素在稀盐酸和稀硝酸中的分配系数,使这些元素几乎不与树脂发生吸附。本研究揭示了不同酸介质中各类元素在阳离子交换树脂上的分配行为存在差异,尤其是氢氟酸的加入可显著改变高场强元素、部分过渡金属和稀土元素的分配系数,为应用该树脂开发和优化适用于高精度金属稳定同位素分析的元素提纯流程(如Li、Mg、K、Sr、Ce、U等)提供了数据支撑,并可有效地减少后续实验设计的工作量。     

THERIA_G: a software program to numerically model prograde garnet growth

We present the software program THERIA_G, which allows for numerical simulation of garnet growth in a given volume of rock along any pressure–temperature–time (P–T–t) path. THERIA_G assumes thermodynamic equilibrium between the garnet rim and the rock matrix during growth and accounts for component fractionation associated with garnet formation as well as for intracrystalline diffusion within garnet. In addition, THERIA_G keeps track of changes in the equilibrium phase relations, which occur during garnet growth along the specified P–T–t trajectory. This is accomplished by the combination of two major modules: a Gibbs free energy minimization routine is used to calculate equilibrium phase relations including the volume and composition of successive garnet growth increments as P and T and the effective bulk rock composition change. With the second module intragranular multi-component diffusion is modelled for spherical garnet geometry. THERIA_G allows to simulate the formation of an entire garnet population, the nucleation and growth history of which is specified via the garnet crystal size frequency distribution. Garnet growth simulations with THERIA_G produce compositional profiles for the garnet porphyroblasts of each size class of a population and full information on equilibrium phase assemblages for any point along the specified P–T–t trajectory. The results of garnet growth simulation can be used to infer the P–T–t path of metamorphism from the chemical zoning of garnet porphyroblasts. With a hypothetical example of garnet growth in a pelitic rock we demonstrate that it is essential for the interpretation of the chemical zoning of garnet to account for the combined effects of the thermodynamic conditions of garnet growth, the nucleation history and intracrystalline diffusion.

Interplay between equilibrium and kinetics in prograde metamorphism of pelites: an example from the Nelson aureole, British Columbia

The distribution of metapelitic mineral assemblages in the Nelson aureole, British Columbia, generally conforms to what is predicted from phase equilibria. However, in detail, the sequence and spacing of isograds, mineral textures and mineral compositions and mineral chemical zoning do not. Two of the main disequilibrium features in the aureole are: (i) delay in the onset and progress of several reactions, i.e. overstepping in temperature; and (ii) unreactivity of staurolite and especially garnet porphyroblasts when they are reactants in prograde reactions. The thermal overstepping is ascribed to difficulty of nucleation of the product porphyroblasts and sluggishness of dissolution of porphyroblasts when they are reactants. The extent to which these kinetic barriers delay the onset of reaction is related to the reaction affinity of each reaction, defined herein as the Gibbs free‐energy difference between the thermodynamically stable, but not‐yet‐crystallized, products and the metastable reactants. For oversteps in temperature (ΔT), reaction affinity is, in turn, related to the difference in entropy (ΔS) between these two states through the relation A = ΔT * ΔS. Mineral reactions which release large quantities of H₂O, such as chlorite‐consuming reactions, have a higher entropy change per unit of temperature overstep, and therefore a higher reaction affinity, than those which release little or no H₂O, such as the chlorite‐free staurolite‐consuming reaction. Thermal overstepping is consequently expected to be less for the former than for the latter, as was estimated in the aureole where 0 to 30 °C overstepping was required for garnet, staurolite and andalusite growth from a muscovite + chlorite‐bearing precursor rock and ～70 °C overstepping was required for the growth of Al₂SiO₅ from a staurolite‐bearing, chlorite‐free precursor. In all cases, reaction progress was strongly influenced by the presence or absence of fluid, with presence of fluid lowering kinetic barriers to nucleation and growth and therefore the degree of thermal overstepping. Textural features of rocks from the nearly coincident garnet, staurolite and andalusite isograds are suggestive of a fluid‐catalysed ‘cascade effect’ in which reaction took place in a narrow temperature interval; several competing muscovite + chlorite‐consuming reactions, some metastable, appear to have occurred in parallel. Metamorphic reaction, fluid release and possibly fluid presence in general in the aureole were episodic rather than continuous, and in several cases well removed from equilibrium conditions. The extent to which these findings apply to regional metamorphism depends on several factors, a major one being enhanced deformation, which is expected to lower kinetic barriers to nucleation and growth.
