Biogenic processes in crystalline bedrock fractures indicated by carbon isotope signatures of secondary calcite

Variation in ¹³C/¹²C-isotope ratios of fracture filling calcite was analyzed in situ to investigate carbon sources and cycling in fractured bedrock. The study was conducted by separating sections of fracture fillings, and analyzing the ¹³C/¹²C-ratios with secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). Specifically, the study was aimed at fillings where previously published sulfur isotope data indicated the occurrence of bacterial sulfate reduction. The results showed that the δ¹³C values of calcite were highly variable, ranging from −53.8‰ to +31.6‰ (VPDB). The analysis also showed high variations within single fillings of up to 39‰. The analyzed calcite fillings were mostly associated with two calcite groups, of which Group 3 represents possible Paleozoic fluid circulation, based on comparison with similar dated coatings within the Baltic Shield and the succeeding Group 1–2 fillings represent late-stage, low temperature mineralization and are possibly late Paleozoic to Quaternary in age. Both generations were associated with pyrite with δ³⁴S values indicative of bacterial sulfate reduction. The δ¹³C values of calcite, however, were indicative of geochemical environments which were distinct for these generations. The δ¹³C values of Group 3 calcite varied from −22.1‰ to +11‰, with a distinct peak at −16‰ to −12‰. Furthermore, there were no observable depth dependent trends in the δ¹³C values of Group 3 calcite. The δ¹³C values of Group 3 calcite were indicative of organic matter degradation and methanogenesis. In contrast to the Group 3 fillings, the δ¹³C values of Group 1–2 calcite were highly variable, ranging from −53.8‰ to +31.6‰ and they showed systematic variation with depth. The near surface environment of <30 m (bsl) was characterized by δ¹³C values indicative of degradation of surface derived organic matter, with δ¹³C values ranging from −30.3‰ to −5.5‰. The intermediate depth of 34–54 m showed evidence of localized methanotrophic activity seen as anomalously ¹³C depleted calcite, having δ¹³C values as low as −53.8‰. At depths of ∼60–400 m, positive δ¹³C values of up to +31.6‰ in late-stage calcite of Group 1–2 indicated methanogenesis. In comparison, high CH₄ concentrations in present day groundwaters are found at depths of >300 m. One sample at a depth of 111 m showed a transition from methanogenetic conditions (calcite bearing methanogenetic signature) to sulfate reducing (precipitation of pyrite on calcite surface), however, the timing of this transition is so far unclear. The results from this study gives indications of the complex nature of sulfur and carbon cycling in fractured crystalline environments and highlights the usefulness of in situ stable isotope analysis.     

二连盆地与地沥青密切相关的砂岩型铀矿床微观矿物特征及成因分析

内蒙古二连盆地产在下白垩统碎屑岩系中的砂岩型铀矿床,其矿化与地沥青密切相关,有铀矿物存在之处必有地沥青;岩石中也普遍含地沥青。笔者通过蚀刻α径迹示踪,对铀含量在(200~1770)×10~(-6)的碎屑岩进行扫描电镜分析,采用分子量计算方法确定了该地区含铀碎屑岩中的铀是以多种超显微铀矿物形式存在。其中,以赛汉高毕铀矿床为代表,铀主要形成复成分磷钙铀矿。其它铀矿床也普遍有复成分磷钙铀矿产出:巴彦乌拉矿床样品因钙含量低、硅含量高,则铀石多于复成分磷钙铀矿;道尔苏矿床以铀石和磷铀矿为主,有少量沥青铀矿及复成分磷钙铀矿;哈达图矿床主要是沥青铀矿,未见复成分磷钙铀矿。除了地沥青之外,各矿床中与铀矿物共生的主要矿物还有草莓状、鲕粒状黄铁矿。由此推断,铀矿床的可能成因是:来自盆地深部的UH_3、PH_3、CaH_2、SiH_4、FeH_2、H_2S等在伴随油气向上运移过程中,由于温度、压力降低和氧化作用而发生分解及凝聚,形成草莓状、鲕粒状黄铁矿;同时派生出含U、P、Si、Ca等的氧化物的低温热水溶液,并最终结晶析出铀矿物,形成有大量黄铁矿共生的铀矿体;而油气经过长期挥发,最终演变成地沥青,成为铀矿物的载体。     

北京西北城区一次重污染过程中PM10的氧化损伤能力研究

为评估大气重污染期间北京市可吸入颗粒物(PM_(10))的毒性,采集2016年3月份一次大气重污染过程中北京市大气PM_(10)样品,应用质粒DNA损伤评价法来研究其氧化损伤能力。结果表明,雾霾期间PM_(10)对DNA的损伤率高于雾霾逐渐消退时期,远高于雾霾前期清洁天,颗粒物对DNA损伤率随剂量的增加而增加。雾霾前后PM_(10)水溶样品的平均TD_(20)值表现为雾霾前清洁天(788.01μg/mL)雾霾消退后期(470.40μg/mL)雾霾期间(55.78μg/mL),说明氧化能力雾霾期间雾霾消退后期雾霾前清洁天。另外通过雾霾前后数据对比得到,暴露毒性指数TI大小顺序为雾霾期间(13 245.06)雾霾消退后期(1 658.87)雾霾前清洁天(254.08),说明雾霾期间PM_(10)对人体危害更大。

三江源区大气可降水量时空特征及其与降水关系

利用1979—2016年欧洲中期天气预报中心(ECMWF) ERA-Interim (1°×1°)再分析资料中的经、纬向水汽通量和大气可降水量(precipitation water vapor,PWV)数据,采用相关性分析、趋势分析法、累积距平、IDW等方法,分析三江源地区PWV与水汽通量的时空分布特征、降水转化率(precipitati-on conversion efficiency,PCE)变化规律。结果表明:过去的38 a,经、纬向多年平均水汽通量分别为50. 2、196. 7 kg·m-1·s^(-1),纬向水汽通量气候倾向率比经向大。南边界为纬向主要水汽输入边界,东边界为经向主要水汽输出边界,纬向水汽输送大于经向输送。多年平均PWV为1998. 3 mm,近38 aPWV呈现微弱增加趋势,1979—1997年,PWV呈下降趋势,1998年后PWV呈增加趋势,同期降水也在增加,说明该时段三江源地区气候转湿。PWV与水汽通量的年际变化趋势和转折年相一致。三江源区多年平均PCE为24. 57%,1989年PCE最高,达32. 76%,各季节平均PCE空间分布与年平均PCE分布一致,均表现出南部、东南部高,西部、东北部低的变化特征,各季节PCE大小差异明显,春季多年平均PCE为15. 92%,夏季25. 67%,秋季21. 01%,冬季仅7. 03%。

本文以厦门市为例,首先对PM10平均浓度数据进行趋势性、周期性和空间变异性进行分析,然后分析了气温、降水强度、降水日数、风向等气候因子对PM10浓度变化在时间上的影响,同时使用了交叉相关分析的方法对月平均降水日数和PM10大气污染指数(API)为优(PM10浓度<0.05mg/m3)的月内天数百分比的相关性进行分析,最后利用从遥感影像获取的地表覆盖数据,分析了土地利用类型与局部PM10年平均浓度的关系。分析结果表明：厦门市PM10浓度年内变化无明显的上升和下降的趋势,但有显著的周期性,分别为3、7和29天,气候因素对PM10浓度的变化有显著的影响,其中月平均降水日数对API为优的月内天数百分比的影响有明显的滞后性,滞后周期大约为3个月,局部PM10年均浓度与该地区的土地覆盖类型有明显的相关性,并且植被覆盖的比例越大,该地区的PM10年平均浓度就越小。     

Characteristics of carbonaceous particles in Beijing during winter and summer 2003

Campaigns were conducted to measure Organic Carbon (OC) and Elemental Carbon (EC) in PM2.5 during winter and summer 2003 in Beijing. Modest differences of PM2.5 and PM10 mean concentrations were observed between the winter and summer campaigns. The mean PM2.5/PM10 ratio in both seasons was around 60%, indicating PM2.5 contributed significantly to PM10. The mean concentrations of OC and EC in PM2.5 were 11.2±7.5 and 6.0±5.0μg m-3 for the winter campaign, and 9.4±2.1 and 4.3±3.0 μg m-3 for the summer campaign, respectively. Diurnal concentrations of OC and EC in PM2.5 were found high at night and low during the daytime in winter, and characterized by an obvious minimum in the summer afternoon. The mean OC/EC ratio was 1.87±0.09 for winter and Z39±0.49 for summer. The higher OC/EC ratio in summer indicates some formation of Secondary Organic Carbon (SOC). The estimated SOC was 2.8 μg m-3 for winter and 4.2μg m-3 for summer.

东海原甲藻的分子鉴定

采用nrDNAITS序列及18S序列两种分子标记,对东海原甲藻和美国国家海洋藻种保藏中心(CCMP)的具齿原甲藻进行分子鉴定,结果表明,两者之间序列非常相似,两者的nrDNAITS序列碱基差异值仅为0.002,nrDNA18S序列的碱基差异值为0.000,根据分子数据,东海原甲藻和美国国家海洋藻种保藏中心的具齿原甲藻应为同一个种.从基因库获取原甲藻的另外3个种nrD-NAITS序列和8个种的18S序列,用计算机软件进行分析和构建分子系统树,结果显示18S序列用于原甲藻的分子鉴定过于保守,而nrDNAITS更适合于该种属界定的分子标准.     

不同氮磷比值下浒苔与石莼的竞争作用研究

近年来,海水富营养化导致近海海域大型海藻过量繁殖,成为世界性的环境问题。自2007年以来,浒苔绿潮在黄海海域连续暴发,造成巨大经济损失。为探究浒苔大规模暴发与氮磷比值(N/P)的关系,及其与其他大型绿藻在不同N/P下的竞争机制,研究了浒苔(Ulva prolifera)与石莼(Ulva lactuca)在不同N/P下单独培养和共培养时的生长情况,探究了浒苔及石莼生长的变化;结合苏北浅滩海域现场N/P的调查结果,分析了浒苔绿潮暴发的可能机制。研究结果表明:(1)浒苔单独培养时,在一定范围内高N/P能促进浒苔的生长,氮对于浒苔的影响大于磷。(2)石莼单独培养时,低N/P下石莼长势最好,但改变N/P对石莼的影响并不显著。(3)浒苔和石莼共培养时,浒苔生长受到了一定限制,低N/P下浒苔生长受限更显著。(4)苏北浅滩海域高N/P更适合浒苔的生长,可能是浒苔绿潮能够大规模暴发的原因之一。
