厦门海域秋、冬季溶解有机氮时空分布及总溶解态氮的组成

根据2015年10月(秋季)和2016年1月(冬季)对厦门海域开展的2次水质调查,研究了该海域中溶解有机氮(DON)的时空分布特征及总溶解态氮(TDN)的组成,并探讨了DON与环境要素的相关性及其来源.结果表明:厦门海域DON浓度平均值冬季大于秋季,表层高于底层,整体呈内湾、河口区较高,湾口区低的分布格局.秋季DON浓度的空间分布为同安湾西海域九龙江口邻近海域东南海域大嶝海域,冬季为西海域同安湾九龙江口邻近海域东南海域大嶝海域.该海域秋、冬季DON浓度占比(CDON/CTDN)分别为56%和53%,DON浓度占比整体呈湾口区大、河口区及内湾小的分布特征.相关性分析表明,该海域秋、冬季表、底层DON浓度与盐度均呈极显著负相关,与磷酸盐、硅酸盐含量为极显著正相关,与叶绿素a、溶解氧、p H值存在一定相关性.厦门海域DON的来源主要有九龙江河流、城市生活污水、工农业废水等陆源输入和浮游植物活动等海源生成.     

The spa of Baden-Baden,Germany

The famous spa of Baden-Baden is situated in the northern Black Forest area not far from the upper Rhine valley in southwestern Germany. Its natural sodium chloride thermal water (68°C), together with its extremely mild climate and pleasant landscape, made Baden-Baden one of the most favored spas in Germany. Baden-Baden was a former capital of the German state of Baden (which means bath or spa), and its name is now included in the name of the state of Baden-Württemberg. Thus, Baden-Württemberg is the only area in Germany where a geologic phenomenon is part of the name of the state.     

钱塘江河口治理的成就与展望

阐述了40年来钱塘江河口治理的成就,在涌潮河段束窄整治了64km游荡不定的河道。围垦了90万亩的土地,为国家创造了巨大的财富。但南岸围垦,水流北逼,潮流掏蚀北岸鱼鳞石塘的塘脚,塘石松动,急待修理。鉴于钱塘江北岸的海塘具有保护太湖平原的重要的作用,综合治理北岸海塘至为迫切。对钱塘江北岸标准塘建设计划进行了评价,认为标准塘方案规划有据,目标明显,方案可行,经济合理。展望了钱塘江河口治理并对需要进一步研究的问题进行了探讨。特别是河流近口段与河口段的衔接问题,河口段与杭州湾的衔接问题,以及口内外泥沙交换问题,应该作为重要问题进行重点研究。     

Source processes of the thermal waters from the Phlegraean Fields (Naples, Italy) by means of the study of selected minor and trace elements distribution

The geochemical characteristics of hydrothermal waters from the Phlegraean Fields (P.F.) (Naples, Italy) were analysed for minor and trace elements, selectively mobilised in hydrothermal systems such as B, F, Hg, As, Pb and Tl.The water samples, collected from a shallow aquifer likely to be fed by deeper fluids, showed various geochemical features, resulting from the mixing of three components: (1) surface waters of meteoric origin; (2) hot deep waters deriving from water-rock interaction and including deep waters of marine origin; (3) magmatic fluids rising from the local magma chamber, lying a few kilometres below the town of Pozzuoli.This setting, although very complex, provides a reliable means of studying the distribution of the investigated trace elements. In particular, within the Phlegraean area, high contents of B (0.1-48 mg/l), F (0.5-8 mg/l), As (16-6050 μg/l) and Hg (0.7-232 μg/l) were observed. The levels of thallium in the springs close to Solfatara (about 7 μg/l) were in line with those normally recorded in hydrothermal areas, whereas high levels of this element (up to 23.3 μg/l) were identified in other wells of the study area. Lead (1.3 to 29.1 μg/l) appears to be anomalous with respect to its normal content in groundwater (about 1 μg/l), owing to the presence of high-density brines at depth, which enhance the solubility of Pb in volcanic rocks under hydrothermal conditions.The distribution of the investigated trace elements in the Phlegraean Fields thermal area is probably related to the different ascent pathways of the fluids. Clearly, apart from the influence exerted by anomalous thermal conditions, each element shows a different behaviour, depending on its geochemical affinity with mineral phases and as a consequence of the different enthalpy values, which determine ion partitioning in gaseous phases.Based on geochemical evidences and on the distribution of minor and trace elements, the source processes of the investigated hydrothermal waters were defined. Five main groups were identified: (1) acid sulphate waters, resulting from mixing of meteoric water with magmatic gases (mainly H₂S); (2) high sulphate-chloride waters, from a deep reservoir located in the major upflow zone; (3) waters associated with significant degassing of magmatic CO₂; (4) waters from a deep geothermal neutral chloride reservoir, resulting from heating of marine water modified by water-rock interaction processes; (5) cold waters from the inner area, influenced by low-temperature, water-rock interaction processes.     

Conductivity as a predictor of a total cations and salinity in Ethiopian lakes and rivers: revisiting earlier models

We used regression analyses of water samples from 18 lakes, nine rivers, and one spring in Ethiopia to (a) test the hypothesis that water bodies of relatively higher salinity (K₂₅>1000 μS cm⁻¹) have a different conductivity to salinity relationship than waters of lower salinity (K₂₅ < 1000 μS cm⁻¹), and (b) develop models to predict total cations and salinity from conductivity that can be used for Ethiopian waters and other African aquatic systems of similar chemical composition. We found no statistical difference in the bilogarithmic relationships (total cations vs. conductivity; salinity vs. conductivity) for waters of higher salinity (K₂₅ > 1000 μS cm⁻¹) and waters of lower salinity (K₂₅ < 1000 μS cm⁻¹). However, comparison among our models and models from the literature suggests that developing separate equations for low and high salinity water bodies has some merit. We believe that the equations developed in this study can be used for Ethiopian waters and other African waters within the range of conductivity in this study.     

Statistical characteristics of chlorophylla concentration in Hong Kong’s coastal waters

In this paper seven of the ten Water Control Zones (WCZs) in Hong Kong’s coastal waters with monthly or bi-weekly sampling data of 17 parameters collected at 37 monitoring stations from 1988 to 1999 were selected to analyze the spatial and temporal variations of chlorophyll-a and its influencing factors. Cluster analysis was employed to group the monitoring stations based on the structure of the data set. Multiple step regression was employed to determine the significant influencing factors of chlorophyll-a level. The results suggest that all the monitoring stations could be grouped into two clusters. Cluster I with frequent red tide incidents comprises two WCZs which are semi-enclosed bays. Cluster II with less red tide occurrence comprises the other five WCZs in an estuarine environment in the west. For both clusters, the organic contents indicator, BOD5, was a common significant influencing factor of the chlorophyll-a level. Nitrogen and light penetration condition related to turbidity, total volatile solids and suspended solids had more influence on the cholophyll-a level in Cluster I than in Cluster II, while phosphorus and oceanographic conditions associated with salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen and pH were more important in Cluster II than in Cluster I. Generally, there was a higher average chlorophyll-a level in winter and autumn in a year. The chlorophyll-a level was much higher in Cluster I than in Cluster II among all seasons. Although the chlorophyll-a concentration had great variations from place to place in Hong Kong’s coastal waters, it seemed to have a common long term fluctuation period of 8–10 years with a high-low-high variation in the period in the whole region, which might be influenced by other factors of global scale.     

青藏高原天然水体中铀含量的区域分布特征

对采自青藏高原部分河水及个别地下水样品中溶解态铀的含量进行了初步研究。采样地点主要包括青海的纳赤台地区及长江源头、藏北地区、雅鲁藏布江流域、西藏中西部内流域、西藏西部狮泉河流域和藏南喜马拉雅流域，共采集水体样品41个。用0．45μm的针式过滤器对样品进行了处理，高分辨电感耦合等离子体质谱仪测定了过滤水中铀的含量。结果表明，不同流域河水中铀的含量范围为0．17—6．53μg／L，均值l.20μg／L，并且存在着明显的区域变化。西藏中西部内流域河水中铀的平均含量最低(0．51μg／L)，藏南的外流域地区最高(2．48μg／L)，但数据点较少，其次是藏北地区(1.51μg／L)。并对各流域水体中铀含量存在差异的原因进行了讨论。     

The content of some microelements in mineral waters from Covasna and Harghita Romanian districts

Using two analytical techniques, CSV/ASV and ICP–AES, the concentration of some microelements (lead, zinc, manganese) in mineral waters from the Covasna and Harghita districts of Romania were determined. The optimum parameters for the voltammetric determination of manganese, copper, zinc and lead were established (electrolyte, deposition time, pulse duration, pulse amplitude, etc.) and then the content of these elements in twelve samples of mineral water were determined. The results obtained by both techniques led to the conclusion that the concentration of microelements in mineral waters from Covasna and Harghita districts is connected to the mineral content underground.
