生物硅的生成与溶解速率的研究——以胶州湾为例

营养盐的含量与元素间的比值直接控制着生态系统的生产力和浮游植物的种类组成.近岸海区硅藻可占初级生产的75%,但其生长速率受Si(OH)4含量的限制.胶州湾浮游植物的物种组成以硅藻为主.用29Si同位素示踪培养方法,采用四极杆质谱同位素稀释技术同时测定了胶州湾硅的生成速率与溶解速率.胶州湾生物硅(BSi)的含量为0.90～1.14 μmol/L,岩成硅(LSi)的含量为46.3～52.3 μmol/L.岩成硅是生物硅的约50倍.胶州湾BSi的含量处于世界近岸海区的低值范围,LSi的含量与LSi/BSi的比值均处于高值区.BSi的绝对生成速率为4～6 nmol/L*d,比生成速率为6～17/d.BSi的绝对溶解速率为<9 nmol/d,比溶解速率为<23/d.进一步开展胶州湾不同季节水体中BSi的生成速率与溶解速率的研究,是深入认识海湾浮游植物生长限制及其资源可持续利用的基础.     

Biogenic silica in surficial sediments of Prydz Bay,Antarctica

The content and distribution of biogenic silica were investigated in sediment cores from Prydz Bay, Antarctica, during the CHINARE-18/2L cruise. The results show that the content of biogenic silica（ BSiO2 ） is ranged from 4.89% to 85. 41% , and the average content of biogenic silica is 30.90%, the highest value oc- curred at the IV-10 station. The profile of BSiO2 in sediment is contrast to that of sili- cate in the interstitial water. The content of biogenic silica and organic carbon in the surface sediments in the central area of Prydz Bay gyre were much higher than those in other area, and closely related to the Chla content and primary productivity of phyto- plankton in the surface water column.     

南大洋普里兹湾沉积物中生物硅含量与分布

利用中国第18,21次南极考察获得的沉积物样品,对南大洋普里兹湾沉积物中生物硅(BSiO₂)的含量以及分布特征进行了初步研究.结果表明:普里兹湾表层沉积物中生物硅含量丰富,生物硅含量在4.89%~85.41%之间变化,平均为30.90%.最高值出现在湾内的IV-10站.生物硅的垂向分布与间隙水中硅酸盐呈现相反的变化趋势.表层沉积物中生物硅和有机碳分布趋势与表层海水中叶绿素a、初级生产力的分布趋势密切相关,最大值均出现在普里兹湾环流中心区域,较好地反映了上层水体中初级生产力的变化状况.     

悬浮颗粒物中生物硅测定方法的改进与应用

硅是河流和海洋中非常重要的营养盐,硅藻、放射虫、硅质海绵、硅鞭毛虫的生长和骨骼形成都离不开硅[1].硅在河流和沿岸海域生态系统中扮演着非常重要的角色,在浮游植物大量繁殖季节,由于硅藻的大量繁殖,使活性硅酸盐含量急剧下降,甚至使硅藻的生长繁殖受到限制.在其他环境条件适宜的情况下,充足的硅又将成为发生硅藻赤潮的物质基础[2].生物硅是用化学方法测定的无定形硅的含量[3],称为生物蛋白石或简称蛋白石,是地球化学、古海洋学研究中非常重要的参数[4].根据世界部分河流生物硅和溶解硅的平均值计算,河流输送入海的硅中有16%的是生物硅,因此河流输送的生物硅的量是全球海洋硅收支中不可忽略的部分[5].     

长江口崇明东滩沉积物中生源硅的地球化学分布特征

对采集自长江口崇明东滩潮间带的沉积物柱状样进行了生源硅含量(BSi)测定。BSi的测定采用了7h的碱液连续提取法以校正样品中粘土矿物非生源硅的溶出对测定结果的影响。结果表明,与渤海和黄海沉积物类似,研究区域沉积物BSi含量也处在较低水平(<0.5Si%),沉积物中所含有的陆源粘土矿物也使SiO32?在间隙水中的浓度(<250μmol/L)远远低于纯BSi的溶解度。沉积物中含氮量以及N/BSi摩尔比等指标随深度呈现出降低的趋势,这反映了沉积物中的有机物在早期成岩过程中的降解,并且N比BSi降解得快。沉积物中δ15N值与含氮量、N/BSi摩尔比等指标都具有一定的正相关关系,显示在早期成岩过程中,与14N相比,15N更容易从有机物中释放出来。此外,在沉积物10—15cm深度处,发现含氮量、N/BSi比值等指标异常的变化,可能反映了修坝、台风等偶然事件对沉积过程的影响。     

本地知识基础对新兴产业创新集群形成的影响——以中国燃料电池产业为例

新兴产业的区位选择一直是经济地理学研究的重点问题,以中国燃料电池产业为例,本研究重点对“区域产业分叉”理论在燃料电池创新集群形成中的适用性进行探究。本文将知识基础区分为解析型知识、合成型知识、符号型知识,采集中国2000—2016年291个地级市燃料电池产业的专利信息、专利引证及被引信息、学术论文信息,通过ArcGIS、Stata软件进行空间和计量分析,得到如下结论：① 从格局上来看,燃料电池创新集群发展主要集聚于发达省会城市,并且在格局演化过程中路径依赖作用明显,291个地级市在2000—2005年、2011—2016年两个时期的创新集群指数相关系数高达0.904,呈现显著的强相关性。② 本地解析型、合成型、符号型知识库以及创新集群指数滞后一阶项的回归系数均显著为正,说明知识基础对新兴产业创新集群发展具有显著的积极影响,成为支持“区域产业分叉”的重要证据。③ 燃料电池产业创新集群形成主要以“区域产业分叉”方式进行,城市在知识基础上的优势对创新集群的形成具有积极作用,而创新集群的发展又使得知识基础进一步积累,实现良性循环,路径依赖现象显著;创新集群指数排名前20位城市中,直辖市和省会城市就占据了75%,一般城市的区位机会窗口较难打开。     

Measurements of Atmospheric Formaldehyde (HCHO) and Acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) during POPCORN 1994 Using 2.4-DNPH Coated Silica Cartridges

The 2.4-dinitrophenylhydrazine coated silica cartridge technique (DSC) was used for the measurements of HCHO and CH3CHO during the POPCORN campaign in August 1994. A total number of 505 measurements was carried out using an automatic sampling system. The sampling time for each measurement was 30 minutes. During the first two weeks of the campaign samples were taken every 3 hours and during the last two weeks every 30 minutes. No significant diurnal variation of HCHO and CH3CHO was observed. The average mixing ratios of HCHO and CH3CHO were 1.8 ±1.0 ppb and 1.4 ±1.3 ppb. The results for HCHO are in a good agreement with simultaneous measurements by differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS). The absence of a strong diurnal variation of the HCHO mixing ratio can be explained by production and destruction processes during day and night. The measured mixing ratios of HCHO and CH3CHO, especially the mixing ratios during night, are a strong indication that during the POPCORN campaign the maize was a local source of HCHO and CH3CHO.

A Study on the Formation of Smectite in Silica Scales Precipitated from Geothermal Water: The Effect of Magnesium

Abstract. Silica scales containing large amounts of smectite were recently found in the pipelines for geothermal water at a geothermal power plant. To elucidate the mechanism of smectite formation, seven silica scale samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, chemical analysis and ²⁷A1 MAS NMR. Smectite was present in samples with MgO levels above 10 wt% and Al₂O₃ levels below 10 wt%. In ²⁷A1 MAS NMR spectra, peaks assigned to both tetrahedrally and octahedrally coordinated aluminum (Al(4) and Al(6)) were observed for Mg-rich samples, whereas a peak due to Al(4) alone appeared in Mg-poor samples. From these observation and comparison between ²⁷A1 MAS NMR spectra for synthesized precipitates of Al₂O₃-SiO₂ containing MgO and not containing MgO, it is concluded that magnesium plays an important role in the stabilization of Al(6), and results in the formation of smectite     

Identifying when microbes biosilicify: The interconnected requirements of acidic pH, colloidal SiO2 and exposed microbial surface

This study demonstrates discernible biosilicification of natural microbial mats through batch laboratory experiments. Identification of the geochemical requirements for this process to occur includes thermodynamically favorable, but sluggish silica reaction kinetics associated with acidic conditions, and the necessity for colloidal silica rather than dissolved silicic acid species. This study provides the first results to bridge the apparent literature discrepancy between widespread, in-situ observations of microbial silicification, and the inability to demonstrate a detectable microbial impact in this process under well-constrained laboratory conditions. We compared the silica scavenging abilities of three natural microbial mats collected from Yellowstone National Park (YNP) hotsprings, relative to those of both abiotic particle (TiO₂) and solution controls at constant, near-saturated aqueous silica concentrations, while experimental pH and temperature conditions were varied, using both dissolved and colloidal SiO₂ forms. We specifically evaluated three microbial mats sampled from YNP sites all exhibiting saturation with respect to amorphous SiO₂, but possessing variable pH and temperature conditions that should reflect differential kinetics (and therefore biological opportunity) relative to silica polymerization: (1) most biologically favorable, acidic-mesophile (AM: pH 3, T = 35 °C); (2) biologically possible, but less opportune, alkaline, mesophile (ALK-M: pH 8, T = 35 °C) and (3) unlikely to be biologically favorable, alkaline-thermophile (ALK-T: pH 8, T = 80 °C). Comparison of field and laboratory results substantiates the requirements for thermodynamically favorable, but kinetically slower SiO₂ polymerization conditions. Results show that acidic moderate temperature conditions were required for an observable biosilicification impact. Moreover, they also identified for the first time, the necessity specifically for colloidal silica forms which are surface bound under acidic pH conditions, to distinguish discernible biosilicification compared to mineral particle controls. Results also highlight the important influence of mat surface characteristics in this process, specifically the extent of live, non-mineralized, exposed biological mat surface. Greater colloidal SiO₂ scavenging abilities are associated with non-mineralized microbial mat surfaces than with mineral particle surfaces or microbial mat surfaces encrusted with authigenic silica. These results are the first to demonstrate that biosilicification can be a microbially mediated, discernible geobiological process, shedding new light on the longstanding argument in the literature, and opening the door for more sensitive evaluation of this phenomenon in natural systems.
