Dynamic behavior and applicability of lead alloy absorber

Introduction As the result of economic development, metropolitans spring out in China. In metropolitans,the cities contact with each other through life line systems, the density of population is larger thanother areas, and social treasure in the unit area is much higher than other cities (GAO, 2003). Atthe same time, the risk of potential earthquake disaster in metropolitans increases greatly. One ofcharacters of metropolitan earthquake damage is that each city in the metropolitan will …     

Lead isotopes in lacustrine sediments and lichen transplants, contrasting and complimentary indicators of sources

The isotopic composition of lead has proven a powerful tool for the characterization of the types of its sources, and with other information on their identity. Lead is dispersed in the environment through water courses or airborne particulates, and has serious impact on the natural and human environments. Lake sediments record deposition derived mainly from its catchment while lichen represents the fine-grained atmospheric deposition of the site. The records of deposition differ in the scales of grain size, time and space. This investigation aims at comparing and contrasting these two types of records in an area affected essentially by a single visible emission source, and to improve the understanding of the controls on the formation of these records. The visible source is a Cu smelter complex with mining installations within the town of Karabash, in the southern Ural Mountains of Russia and considered one of the most heavily polluted areas in the world.     

Investigation of lead and zinc dispersion from an abandoned mine site at Tyndrum, Scotland, using tree bark measurements

Tyndrum was an industrial mining area from 1741 until the 1920s where the main ores extracted were lead sulphide （galena） and zinc sulphide （sphalarite）. Situated in central Scotland, the now deserted site is identified as a highly polluted, barren area where the original waste residues from the mine, an ore processing and a smelting site are clearly evident. Previous studies have suggested that high levels of lead and zinc contaminants are still dispersed from this former mine site, both atmospherically and through fluvial transport. For example, high concentrations of Pb, identified by its isotopic signature as originating in Tyndrum, have been found in sediments in Loch Tay, 25 km east of this area. This paper presents the results of a study of the occurrence and magnitude of airborne contamination by dispersion from the former mine site using measurements of metal concentrations in tree bark. These naturally occurring ‘bio monitors＇, which accumulate airborne materials including heavy metals, have become an effective alternative to the more costly air-filter system, which is restricted in scope and coverage. Bark samples were acquired from Scots pine （Pinus sylvestris） trees, which are abundant around the derelict mine site. Suitable locations were chosen to investigate atmospheric transport and deposition of contaminants within the area.     

Fine-particle Mn and other metals linked to the introduction of MMT into gasoline in Sydney, Australia： Results of a natural experiment

PM2.5 particulates were analyzed using accelerator-based ion beam methods for a suite of 21 species （H, C, Na, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, K, Ca, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Br, Pb） to evaluate the contribution to Sydney air associated with the introduction of MMT as a replacement for Pb. MMT was discontinued in 2004. Teflon filters continuously sampled for 7 years from 1998 to 2004 were analyzed from two sites： a suburb （Mascot） close to the Central Business District [CBD （n=718）] and a high trafficked area, and a relatively rural （background） setting, ～20 km west of the CBD （n=730）. Mean Mn concentrations in air at the background site increased from 1.5- 1.6 ng/m^3 to 〈2 ng/m^3 at the time of the greatest MMT use whereas those at Mascot increased from about 2 to 5 ng/m^3. From the maximum values, the Mn showed a steady decrease at both sites concomitant with the decreasing use of MMT. Lead concentrations in air at both sites decreased from 1998 onwards, concomitant with the phase out of leaded gasoline in 2002. A high correlation was obtained for the relationship between Mn in air and lead replacement gasoline （LRG） use （R2 0.83） and an improved correlation for Mn/Al＋Si＋K and LRG use （R2 0.93）. With Mn concentrations normalized to background values of Al＋Si＋K to account for the lithogenically-derived Mn, the proportion of anthropogenic Mn was -70%. Changes for Mn and Pb in the particulates are attributed to the before-during-after use of MMT and decreasing use of Pb in gasoline.     

Methods of metal release assessment in soil water at anoxic sites

Metal mobility at contaminated sites can be assessed by soil water investigations or by leaching tests. Leaching tests are usually carried out in open contact with the atmosphere disregarding possible changes of redox conditions. This can affect the original metal speciation and distribution, particularly when anoxic samples are investigated. In this study, the applicability of common leaching tests (the German S4 test (S4), ammonium nitrate extraction (AmmN), and saturation soil extraction (SSE)) is tested for the assessment of zinc release from sulfide‐bearing flotation residues of a former ore mine. Results are compared to soil solution samples obtained by centrifugation and suction cups. The influence of sample storage on S4 leaching test results is investigated in a long‐term study to assess oxidation kinetics. Within the first 200 days the release of zinc increases with a slope of 0.1 mmol kg^–1 d^–1 or 6.0 mg kg^–1 d^–1, respectively. Since oxidation of the sulfide‐bearing samples leads to a significant overestimation of metal release, a feasible modification for the conduction of leaching tests for anoxic material is proposed where oxidation is prevented efficiently. The modified SSE is found to be the only of the tested leaching procedures, which can be recommended for the assessment of current soil water concentrations at anoxic sites if direct investigation of the soil water is impossible due to technical reasons.     

垃圾渗滤液水溶性有机物对污染土壤中重金属Pb迁移性的影响

采用土柱淋滤试验研究了不同填埋年限的垃圾渗滤液DOM在土壤中垂直迁移及其对土壤重金属Pb淋滤溶出的影响。结果表明,不同填埋年限(0.4~5.12 a)的垃圾渗滤液DOM在土壤中垂直向下的迁移速率存在差异,填埋时间短的垃圾渗滤液DOM在土壤中迁移性较强。与对照相比(不加渗滤液DOM),垃圾渗滤液处理对红壤中土壤重金属Pb的累积解吸率高74.25%;在潮土上高-38.79%,且垃圾填埋年限中期的渗滤液DOM对土壤重金属的溶出影响更显著,说明垃圾渗滤液DOM进入土壤环境对重金属的迁移有促进作用。

中国大陆科学钻探100-2000m超高压变质岩普通Pb同位素地球化学初步研究——俯冲陆壳内脱耦的证据

本文首次对中国大陆科学钻探工程100～2000m榴辉岩中的绿辉石和片麻岩中的长石进行了普通Pb同位素研究。钻孔上部岩段（0-800m）样品放射成因Pb同位素含量比较高且变化幅度较小（^206Pb／^204Pb=16．81-17．29，^207Pb／^204Pb=15．37-15．45，^208Pb／^204Pb=37．20-37．66），说明其原岩的U／Pb和Th／Pb或者初始Pb同位素比值比较高。钻孔中部岩段（800-1600m）发育有韧性剪切带，相应的Pb同位素比值开始降低且有起伏（^206Pb／^204Pb=16．26-16．72，^207Pb／^204Pb=15．27～15．38，^208Pb／^204Pb=36．73～37．40）、钻孔下部岩段（800～1600m）样品放射成因Ph同位素含量低但变化幅度较小（^206Pb／^204Pb=16.05～16．46，^207Pb／^204Pb：15．22～15.29，^208Pb／^204Pb=36．68～37．48），说明其原岩的U／Pb和Th／Pb或者初始Ph同位素比值比较低。实测数据同模拟数据对比表明，钻孔上、下两岩段样品普通Ph同位素不同一方面是由于继承了原岩初始Pb同位素不同，另一方面是由它们的μ值不同所致。结合氧同位素研究，本文认为800m以上和1600m以下分属上地壳和中地壳．前者是从俯冲大陆岩石圈解耦的上地壳，在大陆岩石圈俯冲过程中，上部岩片同俯冲的大陆岩石圈发生挤离，率先沿着这一个挤离面逆冲折返至浅部。下岩片是随后从俯冲岩石圈解耦的中地壳岩片，并折返至浅部下伏在先期折返的上部岩片之下。考虑到中部岩段（800～1600m）既发育有韧性剪切带又具有异常低^18O峰值（Xiao et al．，2006），挤离面是在地壳内部晚元古代的断裂带及冷水活动通道基础上发育起来的。     

Petrochemistry of Late Miocene to Quaternary Igneous Rocks and Metallogenesis in Southwest Hokkaido, Japan

Abstract: Southwest Hokkaido is largely covered by Late Miocene to Quaternary igneous rocks, and has a large number of gold veins and base-metal veins of the same age. Investigation of the silica-normalized concentration of elements has revealed regional petrochemical zoning; large ion lithophile elements (LILE) and K₂O/(Na₂O+K₂O) of the rocks increase toward Japan Sea, whereas total FeO, CaO, and ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr decrease. Mapped concentration isoplethes of these elements are not ideally parallel to the volcanic front, but protrude to the west at Funka Bay, and to the northwest at Matsumae Peninsula. Isoplethes of ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr show similar patterns and two more northwestward protrusions in the northeast (Jozankei block) of southwest Hokkaido. Contrary to the general petrochemical trend, both high– and low-LILE volcanic rocks occur in the Jozankei block. The ore deposits are distributed in four metallogenic zones; manganese–base–metal zone on the Japan Sea side, pyrite-limonite zone mainly along the volcanic front, gold zone in the middle, and two units of gold–base–metal zone. The northern unit of this zone is in the Jozankei block, and seems a part of the gold zone overlapped by the manganese–base–metal zone. Thus, as a rule, pyrite–limonite, gold, and base-metal deposits accompany low–, intermediate–, and high-LILE igneous rocks, respectively. Individual deposits and volcanic rocks make chains oblique to the zones and the volcanic front. The majority of the ore deposits are distributed along ridges of Bouguer anomalies overlapped by the volcanic chains, which apparently control the patterns of the petrochemical isoplethes. This is typical for two volcanic chains to the north and south of Funka Bay, where the petrochemical isoplethes protrude to the west. This indicates that both the igneous activity and the mineralization have been under the control of tectonic fractures at the roots of the volcanic chains. The geological, petrochemical and metallogenic data support the idea that the chemical characteristics of the deposits are correlated mainly with the chemistry of the associated magmas, and partly with that of the host rocks.     

Mobilization and attenuation of metals downstream from a base-metal mining site in the Mátra Mountains, northeastern Hungary

Regional geochemical baseline values have been established for Hungary by the use of low-density stream-sediment surveys of flood-plain deposits of large drainage basins and of the fine fraction of stream sediments. The baseline values and anomaly thresholds thus produced helped to evaluate the importance of high toxic element concentrations found in soils in a valley downstream of a polymetallic vein-type base-metal mine. Erosion of the mine dumps and flotation dump, losses of metals during filtering, storage and transportation, human neglects, and operational breakdowns, have all contributed to the contamination of a small catchment basin in a procession of releases of solid waste. The sulfide-rich waste material weathers to a yellow color; this layer of `yellow sand' blankets a narrow strip of the floodplain of Toka Creek in the valley near the town of Gyöngyösoroszi. Contamination was spread out in the valley by floods. Metals present in the yellow sand include Pb, As, Cd, Cu, Zn, and Sb. Exposure of the local population to these metals may occur through inhalation of airborne particulates or by ingestion of these metals that are taken up by crops grown in the valley. To evaluate the areal extent and depth of the contamination, active stream sediment, flood-plain deposits, lake or reservoir sediments, soils, and surface water were sampled along the erosion pathways downstream of the mine and dumps. The flood-plain profile was sampled in detail to see the vertical distribution of elements and to relate the metal concentrations to the sedimentation and contamination histories of the flood plain. Downward migration of mobile Zn and Cd from the contaminated upper layers under supergene conditions is observed, while vertical migration of Pb, As, Hg and Sb appears to be insignificant. Soil profiles of ¹³⁷Cs which originated from above-ground atomic bomb tests and the Chernobyl accident, provide good evidence that the upper 30–40 cm of the flood-plain sections, which includes the yellow sand contamination, were deposited in the last 30–40 years.
