黄河三角洲沉积物超固结特征及其成因

以室内固结试验为基础,从含水量、孔隙比、粒度成分、前期固结压力等方面对黄河三角洲沉积物的固结状态进行了研究,发现黄河三角洲地区沉积物垂向上呈现超固结-正常固结-欠固结的趋势,6 m以上沉积物处于超固结状态,这是土体粒度成分和沉积环境的影响等因素共同作用形成的。土体胶结方式的不同和波浪等动力因素的影响深度的不同决定了超固结特征沿深度非均匀化。

The effects of wastewater discharges on the functioning of a small temporarily open/closed estuary

Wastewater discharges affect the functioning of small temporarily open/closed estuaries (TOCEs) through two main mechanisms: (1) they can significantly change the water balance by altering the quantity of water inflows, and (2) they can significantly change the nutrient balance and hence the water quality. This study investigated the bio-physical responses of a typical, small TOCE on the east coast of South Africa, the Mhlanga Estuary. This estuary receives significant inflows of treated effluent from upstream wastewater treatment works. Water and nutrient budgets were used together with biological sampling to investigate changes in the functioning of the system. The increase in inflows due to the effluent discharges has significantly increased the mouth breaching frequency. Furthermore, when the mouth closes, the accumulation of nutrients leads to eutrophication and algal blooms. A grey water index, namely the proportion of effluent in the estuary and an indicator of the additional nutrient inputs into the estuary, reached high values (?50%) during low flow regimes and when the mouth was closed. In these hyper-eutrophic conditions (DIN and DIP concentrations up to 457 μM and 100 μM respectively), field measurements showed that algal blooms occurred within about 14 days following closure of the mouth (chlorophyll-a concentrations up to 375 mg chl-a m⁻³). Water and nutrient balance simulations for alternative scenarios suggest that further increases in wastewater discharges would result in more frequent breaching events and longer open mouth conditions, but the occurrence of hyper-eutrophic conditions would initially intensify despite more frequent openings. The study indicates how water and nutrient balance simulations can be used in the planning and impact assessment of wastewater treatment facilities.     

闽江下游及河口海域水体中悬浮物的分布特征

采用重量法与浊度法对闽江下游及河口海域中的悬浮物进行了研究。通过对悬浮物的调查得出:平水期水体中悬浮物含量为5.67~493.8 mg/L,平均为114.2 mg/L,几乎所有的测站底层悬浮物含量高于表层。从上游向海方向,悬浮物呈增加趋势,高值区出现在琯头到英屿河段的底层,丰水期悬浮物含量为6.9~138.7 mg/L,平均为29.7 mg/L,呈中层 > 底层 > 表层的分布;同时,悬浮物浓度呈渐增之势,没出现悬浮物明显的富集。平水期温度、盐度、浊度断面资料显示,平水期上下层混合较为均匀,没有出现水体分层现象,在河口区有盐楔存在,最大浑浊带出现位置与盐度2~5.5的区域相对应。根据悬浮物的物质来源、水动力环境的分布特征,在调查时段内可将闽江口最大浑浊带划归为"海源——潮致型"。

Mercury in the Tinto-Odiel Estuarine System (Gulf of Cádiz, Spain): Sources and Dispersion

The Tinto and Odiel are small rivers draining one of the largest sulphide deposits in the world. As a result of these deposits and a large industrial complex, the adjacent marine area receives a high amount of metal input. Mercury distribution in the Tinto-Odiel estuary, the Huelva Ría and the Gulf of Cádiz was assessed in water and suspended particulatematter (SPM) and sediments. In the rivers and estuaries, dissolved (HgD)and particulate (HgP) mercury showed wide variations (13 to 200 pM and0.3 to 330 nmol g^-1 respectively) depending on the presence or notof sulphidic waters, phosphogypsum deposits, detrital pyrite and oxyhydroxides.In the Ría, concentrations were lower than 10 pM and 4.5 nmol g^-1 for HgD and HgP respectively. In surface waters of the Gulf of Cádiz, the average HgD concentration (pm standard deviation) was 2.9 pm 0.9 pM, which is similar to that of North Atlantic Central Waters. The surface sediments collected in the rivers, the Ría and the Gulf showed systematically enriched mercury compared to pre-industrial levels. Vertical mercury profiles in dated sediment cores were typical of anthropogenically influenced environments starting in the early Roman age. These distribution features suggest that most of the Hg discharged by the Huelva Ría is trapped in the sediments of the Gulf of Cádiz.     

非生物因子对底栖动物无齿相手蟹重金属富集量的影响

以长江口滨岸滩地生态系统一种常见的大型底栖动物无齿相手蟹(Sesarma dehaani)为研究对象,分析温度、盐度、重金属间相互作用等几个主要非生物因子对无齿相手蟹积累Cu,Zn,Pb,Cr,Ni的影响。结果表明,夏季无齿相手蟹对Cu,Zn,Cr,Ni的累积量高于其他季节,说明较高的温度有助于动物对重金属元素的吸收;秋季,无齿相手蟹体内的Pb含量与盐度显著负相关;春季,无齿相手蟹体内的Zn含量与盐度负相关;无齿相手蟹体内累积的Zn—Ni,Pb—Cr之间相关显著,二者均呈正相关。     

波浪和潮波作用下黄河口快速沉积海床土非均匀固结试验研究

黄河高含沙量水体在弱潮陆相河口入海,80 %的泥沙在河口附近快速堆积。过去研究发现,黄河三角洲潮滩表层沉积物呈现非均匀固结状态。为了揭示该现象产生的机制,在黄河刁口流路三角洲叶瓣潮坪上,现场取土配置黄河口快速沉积形成的流体状堆积物,研究快速沉积的粉质海床土在波浪和潮波作用下的孔压响应及非均匀固结过程。利用静力触探、十字板剪切试验、孔隙水压力监测等原位测试手段,实时测定快速沉积的海床土强度和孔压变化过程。研究发现,快速沉积的粉质土在自重作用下的固结速度很快,正常固结完成后,强度随时间的发展依然不断增加,沿深度方向出现类似原状土体的固结非均匀现象和似超固结状态;在波浪和潮波作用下快速沉积粉质土孔压沿深度出现非均匀变化,在波浪作用下出现了超静孔压的积累。分析发现,该固结状态和强度沿深度方向非均匀变化是由于土体在潮波及潮波和波浪的联合作用下形成的;潮滩表层土体在波浪荷载长期作用下形成硬壳层。     

Mineralogy of metal contaminated estuarine sediments,Derwent estuary,Hobart, Australia: implications for metal mobility

The mobility, bioaccessibility and transfer pathways of metals and metalloids in estuarine sediments have been the focus of much detailed research. However, to date, few studies have examined the mineralogical siting of metals and metalloids in such sediments. This is despite the fact the mineralogy of sediments is an important factor that controls which and how much of a particular metal is released to pore waters and overlying water columns. This study reports on the mineralogical siting of metals in contaminated estuarine sediments, Hobart, Australia, and aims to evaluate the mobility of metals in the contaminated substrates. Mineralogical, mineral chemical and bulk chemical analyses demonstrate that the sediments contain very high levels of several metals and metalloids. The contaminated sediments have concentrations of zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), copper (Cu) and cadmium (Cd) ranging from 0.55 to 4.23 wt%, 0.16 to 0.70 wt%, 415 to 951 mg/kg and 23 to 300 mg/kg, respectively. Franklinite and lesser sphalerite are the main repositories of Zn, whereas much of the Pb and Cu is hosted by sulfides, organic matter and undetermined iron (Fe) oxides. While the release of contaminant loads from franklinite through dissolution is likely to be insignificant, even small releases of metals from the highly contaminated sediments can still cause the deterioration of local water quality. The contaminated sediments represent long-term sources of metal pollutants, particularly Zn, to local waters. This study demonstrates that mineralogical analyses are a vital tool to recognise the potential mobility of trace metals in estuarine environments.

本文通过对采自海南岛洋浦港、福建厦门外港、浙江象山港三个河口港湾的六个沉积柱样的１３７Ｃｓ分析，分别用１３７Ｃｓ剖面的最大峰值层及１３７Ｃｓ剖面的起始值层位估算了该六个站位的现代沉积速率，结果表明：在河口港湾沉积环境条件下，用１３７Ｃｓ剖面来估算沉积物的平均沉积速率是可行的，由１３７Ｃｓ最大值法，这六个站位的平均沉积速率分别为１．１４ｃｍ／ａ、１．５６ｃｍ／ａ、０．８２ｃｍ／ａ、０．７５ｃｍ／ａ、１．２６ｃｍ／ａ、１．６６ｃｍ／ａ，由１３７Ｃｓ最大值法得出的平均沉积速率其精确度与可信度要好于１３７Ｃｓ起始值得出的平均沉积速率。与２１０Ｐｂ法所得的结果符合的很好。１３７Ｃｓ起始值层位与预期值偏离的大小可以为我们提供有关该站位沉积环境、扰动作用强弱的信息。在应用１３７Ｃｓ剖面估算沉积速率时，还要注意沉积结构变化的影响。
