磁赤铁矿可以在厌氧微生物作用下固相转化为磁铁矿,这种转化过程具有重要的矿物学及环境磁学意义。文章通过开展硫酸盐还原菌（SRB） —磁赤铁矿交互作用实验,重点探讨了SRB 活性对磁赤铁矿—磁铁矿固相转化速率的影响。在31 d 培养期内,SO42-+SRB+磁赤铁矿体系中SRB 的生长导致16.7%的SO42-转化为酸可挥发性硫（AVS）,部分还原释放的Fe（II） 与AVS 反应生成单硫化物、双硫化物和多硫化物,同时铁氧化物因溶解作用粒径减小;在无SO42-的SRB+磁赤铁矿体系中, SRB 还原产生的Fe （II） 主要存在于铁氧化物中,没有次生沉淀产生。X 射线衍射和穆斯堡尔谱分析结果表明在SRB 作用下纳米磁赤铁矿逐渐向磁铁矿转化,加入SO42-时转化速率加快,与矿物接触的SRB 菌体的数量及其向磁赤铁矿传递电子的能力均得到了增强。在天然或人工厌氧条件下,SO42-是制约磁赤铁矿向磁铁矿转化的重要因素。 相似文献

铁氧化物对硫酸盐还原菌分解硫酸盐矿物的协同作用 总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5
以牛肉膏为碳源,用活性污泥混合菌接种,探讨在缺氧条件下添加不同的铁氧化物对硫酸盐还原菌(SRB)分解硫酸盐矿物的影响。通过溶液pH、铁离子、硫酸根浓度以及固体产物的SEM和EDS图谱分析,揭示硫酸盐矿物分解过程和机制。实验结果表明,铁氧化物对SRB分解硫酸盐矿物起着明显的协同作用:①被铁还原菌还原的Fe2+与硫酸盐还原产生的硫化氢反应形成铁硫化物,消除硫化氢对SRB分解硫酸盐的抑制作用;②铁氧化物还原溶解,提高体系的pH和碱度,增加生化产物CO2的溶解,诱导溶解的钙离子形成方解石沉淀,促进SRB分解硫酸盐矿物的过程。 相似文献

硫酸盐还原菌（sulfate-reducing bacteria,SRB） 是一类兼性厌氧菌,在湖泊和海洋有机物矿化过程和生物源性黄铁矿
的生成过程中都扮演着重要角色。环境溶解氧浓度对硫酸盐还原过程影响较大,硫酸盐还原菌在水体中的耐氧性是目前的研
究热点。文章采集了象山港和水口水库不同溶解氧水平下的水样,并在相应的溶解氧梯度下进行富集培养,以探讨不同溶解
氧浓度下硫酸盐还原菌的耐氧性特征及硫代谢相关菌的组成。结果显示,在富集培养条件下湖泊和沿海海域中Desulfovibrio
（脱硫弧菌属） 和Desulfomicrobium （脱硫微菌属） 为主要硫酸盐还原细菌,而Shewanella （希瓦氏菌属） 和Sulfurospirillum
（硫小螺体属） 为其硫代谢相关菌。Desulfovibrio的相对丰度与溶解氧水平密切相关,随溶解氧浓度的减少,其相对丰度增加。
SRB 的耐氧上限为6.68 mg/L,明显高于以往纯培养或共培养的耐氧上限值。作者推测这不仅与其高氧环境的适应策略有关,
还可能得益于共存菌的贡献,后者可能通过消耗环境中的氧为Desulfovibrio提供生态位,提高其耐氧水平。 相似文献

硫酸盐还原菌是厌氧环境中参与砷形态转化的重要微生物种群,其介导的生物地球化学循环过程对铁氧化物表面吸附态砷迁移转化的影响亟待深入研究.选取江汉平原典型高砷含水层原位沉积物分离纯化出一株严格厌氧硫酸盐还原菌Desulfovibrio JH-S1,对其进行砷和铁还原能力鉴定,并通过模拟培养实验探究硫酸盐还原菌参与下的铁矿物相转化对吸附态砷迁移的影响.Desulfovibrio JH-S1具有Fe(III)还原能力,无硫和有硫体系中Fe(III)均能被还原,但在硫酸盐充足条件下铁还原量显著增加;该菌株不具备As(V)还原能力,但添加硫酸盐的培养体系中As(V)去除率可达96%以上.Desulfovibrio JH-S1能够还原硫酸盐从而促进载砷的水铁矿还原转化为纤铁矿,并导致吸附的砷释放.江汉平原高砷含水层土著硫酸盐还原菌兼具硫酸盐/铁还原功能,参与了高砷含水层系统中砷-铁-硫耦合循环,对高砷地下水的形成具有重要作用. 相似文献

探讨了固定床除Cr工艺以油菜秆为微生物生长的缓释碳源,含SRB的混合微生物和油菜秆对Cr（Ⅵ）的还原和固定的共同作用。动态实验分2阶段开展：初始2周的驯化阶段和梯度增加Cr（Ⅵ）浓度的除Cr实验阶段。除Cr实验中,间歇对固定床出水pH、氧化还原电位、SO42-及硫化物浓度、DOC、Cr（Ⅵ）浓度进行测试,实验结束后对固定床中固体产物进行SEM、EDS和XPS等分析。结果表明,油菜秆固定床处理模拟含Cr（Ⅵ）废水效果明显。当进水Cr（Ⅵ）浓度ρ[Cr（Ⅵ）]〈19.52 mg/L时,出水Cr（Ⅵ）和Cr（Ⅲ）浓度均低于排放标准（0.05 mg/L）;Cr（Ⅵ）被还原为Cr（Ⅲ）,Cr（Ⅲ）以氢氧化物的形式沉淀附着于油菜秆和其它固体物质之上。分析认为,油菜秆在固定床处理模拟含Cr（Ⅵ）废水中所起的作用主要包括3方面（作为微生物生长的缓释碳源;吸附Cr（Ⅵ）,降低其对微生物的毒性;作为Cr（Ⅲ）矿化产物的沉淀附着界面）;Cr（Ⅵ）主要通过SRB的直接作用及H2S的作用被还原为Cr（Ⅲ）;以油菜秆为碳源的固定床处理Cr（Ⅵ）的浓度上限介于15.05～19.52mg/L之间。 相似文献

长江口盐沼硫酸盐还原菌的分布特征与环境机制 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
选择长江口崇明东滩两类植被区（互花米草、土著植被）纵向剖面,根据不同高程部位柱样土壤和植被根际硫酸盐还原菌（SRB）与异养菌的数量,颗粒有机碳（POC）含量与δ13C值,孔隙水Cl-/SO2- ４摩尔比等,研究盐沼SRB的空间分布特征与机制。自高潮滩向光滩,柱样氧含量降低,SO2- ４含量增加,导致SRB含量增加,SRB在有机质矿化中的作用增强。高潮滩柱样不同深度层位的异养菌数量明显大于中潮滩和光滩柱样的相应层位,这与由陆向海柱样氧含量及POC含量降低有关。SRB对植被根际环境的变化较敏感,芦苇根际最有利于SRB生长,藨草根际次之;互花米草根际不利于SRB生长,根系分泌物可能对SRB有抑制作用。土壤有机质含量是导致不同纵向剖面相同高程部位柱样之间微生物数量差异的主要因素。同一纵向剖面不同高程部位柱样之间在土壤氧含量与SO2- ４含量方面的不同,导致这些柱样微生物数量存在差异。盐沼柱样孔隙水Cl-/SO2-４摩尔比总体偏低,多小于19.33,指示有非海源SO2- ４加入。非海源SO2-４的加入掩盖了硫酸盐还原作用对SO2-４的消耗,增加了利用孔隙水Cl-/SO2-４摩尔比定量研究盐沼硫酸盐还原作用强度的难度。柱样中SRB越多,Cl-/SO2-４摩尔比就越大,硫酸盐还原作用就越明显。 相似文献

一株硫酸盐还原菌的分离及生理生态特性的研究 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
硫酸盐有机废水生物处理技术一直是人们关注的热点,该种废水处理的关键是如何在有效地去除COD的同时,高效地去除SO_4~(2-)厌氧生物处理系统中的硫酸盐还原菌(Sulfte-Reducing Bacteria,SRB)在一定的条件下可以有效地将SO_4~(2-)还原而从废水中去除。产酸脱硫反应器是一个复杂的生态学系统,在这个生态系统中,SRB起着最主要的生态学作用,要研究产酸脱硫反应器中的各种群的微生物的生理生态学,是非常复杂而且难以实现的。为了更方便地研究产酸脱硫反应器中的微生物生理生态学,比较好的做法是把在反应器中数量上占优势,并且起主要功能的种群分离出来,对它们进行单独和配合研究。本实验就是利用滚管法和改进的Hungate技术,在COD/SO_4~(2-)=3的稳定阶段,对产酸脱硫反应器中的SRB进行了分离,分离出在数量上占优势的SRB,命名为SRB-ZH07。在厌氧试管和三角瓶中,进行了SRB-ZH07生理生态学研究。pH值对SRB-ZH07的生长和硫酸盐去除率的影响,pH为7.0左右SRB-ZH07的生长状况最好,在34h,菌液的OD_(600nm)达到0.827,而其它pH下的OD_(600nm)... 相似文献

油气相关砂岩型铀矿的形成过程:以钱家店铀矿床为例 总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5
基于开鲁盆地钱家店铀矿床含矿砂岩的显微镜、扫描电镜镜下观察,胶结物同位素测试,以及包裹体烃的地球化学分析,探讨了该砂岩型铀矿的形成过程。镜下观察结果显示,铀矿物主要为沥青铀矿（UOx,x=2．16—2．70）,部分与自生高岭石共生,部分则紧密地与矿化阶段黄铁矿共生或交互生长,表明同时沉淀。矿化阶段黄铁矿形成于细菌硫酸盐还原作用（BSR）。碳酸盐胶结物δ^13C变化范围为-1．3‰--21．6‰;流体包裹体烃显示生物降解的特征。这些证据表明,硫酸盐还原菌（SRB）可能厌氧地降解烃类,其产物CO2为碳酸盐胶结物提供了部分碳源,且已有的研究显示,SRB利用新陈代谢作用可以还原U（Ⅵ）。于是,利用烃类作为生存的碳源,硫酸盐还原菌（SRB）将硫酸盐还原的同时,直接或间接地把六价铀U（Ⅵ）还原成四价铀U（Ⅳ）,导致沥青铀矿形成。 相似文献

选取采自南海天然气水合物赋存区海马冷泉,管状蠕虫区（ROV06站位）和贻贝区（HM101站位）的2个表层沉积物柱状样品,提取其中的生物标志化合物,对其种类和稳定碳同位素进行了测定,用以探讨海底表层沉积物中的有机质来源、微生物种群分布及其对冷泉渗漏活动的响应特征. 两个站位的沉积物中均发现了大量与甲烷厌氧氧化古菌（ANME）有关的生物标志物,如2,6,11,15?四甲基十六烷（crocetane）、2,6,10,15,19?五甲基二十烷（PMI）等类异戊二烯烃,古醇（archaeol）、sn2?羟基古醇（sn2?OH?Ar）等,以及来源于硫酸盐还原菌（SRB）的异构/反异构脂肪酸iso?C15和ai?C15等. 这些生物标志物均具有极低的碳同位素特征（古菌生标δ13C值低至-126‰,硫酸盐还原菌生标δ13C值低至?89‰）,表明沉积物中发生了甲烷厌氧氧化作用（AOM）. ROV06和HM101站位沉积物中均检测到了crocetane,大多数sn2?羟基古醇/古醇大于1,同时ai?C15/iso?C15脂肪酸比值小于2,这说明两个站位沉积物中的甲烷厌氧氧化古菌主要以ANME?2/DSS为主,指示甲烷渗漏强度较强. ROV06站位的表层沉积物含有crocetane,但sn2?羟基古醇/古醇小于1,且ai?C15/iso?C15脂肪酸比值大于2.1,指示了ANME?1/DSS和ANME?2/DSS混合存在的种群特征,说明ROV06站位顶部甲烷渗漏强度有减小的趋势. 根据古菌种群ANME?2化合物对甲烷的碳同位素分馏（Δ:-50‰）及古菌生物标志物（PMI、古醇、sn2?羟基古醇）的平均δ13C值,计算得到甲烷δ13C值（-58‰~-53‰）,显示甲烷为热成因和生物成因混合气. 虽然ROV06和HM101站位的甲烷具有相近的δ13C值,但ROV06站位的SRB生物标志物比HM101站位要更加亏损13C（Δδ13C:18‰）,这可能与管状蠕虫的共生菌（硫氧化菌）吸收硫化物并释放出硫酸盐有关,因为其不断释放出的硫酸盐很可能极大地增强了甲烷厌氧氧化作用,使沉积物中含有更多13C亏损的无机碳. 相似文献

硫酸盐还原菌(SRB)分解硫酸盐矿物对C、S、Fe、Sr、Ba等元素的循环起着重要制约作用,二者相互作用机制的阐明具有重要的矿物学、地球化学及地质微生物学意义。通过设计厌氧实验,本文探讨了SRB与硬石膏的作用过程及机理。结果表明,较之无菌体系,SRB体系中氧化还原电位(EORP)显著降低;可挥发性硫(AVS)与蛋白质浓度则不断增大;硬石膏中总溶出硫含量增加;硬石膏表面SRB粘附位置出现明显溶蚀现象。分析表明SRB通过两种机制促进硬石膏分解:SRB还原代谢消耗溶解态SO42-,降低SO42-浓度,进而促使硬石膏持续溶解;SRB粘附于硬石膏表面,其自身及代谢产物通过络合硬石膏中的Ca加速矿物分解,此种机制在前人的研究中被普遍忽略,而通过此机制SRB亦可促进难溶硫酸盐(天青石、重晶石等)及铁氧化物的溶解,进而制约相关元素的地球化学行为。 相似文献

压实作用下广西典型红树林区沉积速率及海平面上升对红树林迁移效应的制衡 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
气候变化造成的海平面上升是迫使红树林向陆迁移的主要驱动力, 而其自身通过捕沙促淤不同程度的减缓了海平面上升速率的影响。基于广西典型红树林区8根短柱的210Pb测年和含水率分析, 以考虑/未考虑沉积物压实作用为研究情景, 通过对比研究红树林区潮滩地表高程抬升速率和相对海平面上升速率的大小关系, 揭示当前海平面上升对广西红树林向陆/向海迁移的驱动机制。研究发现:未考虑压实作用下的沉积速率约是考虑压实作用下沉积速率的1.00~1.34倍(平均1.12倍), 压实作用明显;压实沉积速率介于0.16~0.78 cm/a, 其底层压实沉积速率与潮滩地表高程抬升速率相等。压实作用下, 英罗湾和丹兜海红树林区的地表高程抬升速率小于相对海平面上升速率;与未考虑压实作用得到的结论相悖。由于广西红树林海岸大都建有防波堤, 限制了红树林向陆的迁移;表明英罗湾和丹兜海的红树林正面临海平面上升的威胁。压实作用校正与否对地表高程抬升速率与相对海平面上升速率相当的区域尤为重要。 相似文献

To assess heavy metals in mangrove swamps of Sehat and Tarut coastal areas along the Arabian Gulf, 18 sediment samples were collected for Al, V, Cr, Mn, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, Hg, Sr, As, Fe, Co, and Ni analysis. The results indicated that the distribution of some metals was largely controlled by anthropogenic inputs, while others were of terrigenous origin and most strongly associated with distribution of aluminum and total organic carbon in sediments. Mangrove sediments were extremely severe enriched with Sr (EF?=?67.59) and very severe enriched with V, Hg, Cd, Cu, As (EF?=?44.28, 37.45, 35.77, 25.97, and 11.53, respectively). Average values of Sr, V, Hg, Cd, Cu, Ni, As, and Cr were mostly higher than the ones recorded from the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aqaba, the Caspian Sea, the Arabian and Oman gulfs, coast of Tanzania, sediment quality guidelines, and the background shale and the earth crust. Landfilling due to coastal infrastructure development around mangrove forests, oil spills and petrochemical and desalination effluents from Al-Jubail industrial city to the north were the anthropogenic activities that further enhanced heavy metals in the studied mangrove sediments. 相似文献

To understand the mechanism of arsenic mobilization from sediment to groundwater mediated by microorganism, vertical distribution of bacterial populations in aquifer sediments of the Hetao plain, Inner Mongolia was investigated by a two-step nested PCR-DGGE and 16S rRNA gene clone libraries, combined with sediment geochemistry. A borehole to 30 m depth was drilled and 11 sediment samples were collected. Lithological profile and different geochemical characteristics of sediments indicated a distinct transition of oxidizing–reducing environment along the depth of the sediment core. As(III) and Fe(II) concentrations elevated progressively from 10 m, simultaneously coupling with decrease of As(V) and Fe(III) concentrations, implying that reductive dissolution of arsenic-rich Fe(III) oxyhydroxides led to arsenic release. Results of DGGE displayed that sediment samples with higher concentrations of total arsenic and total organic carbon had lower population diversity, which suggested total arsenic concentrations were important to determine the population diversity of sediments. Bacterial communities of a sediment sample with the highest diversity and ratio of As(III) to total As were dominated by aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria and belonged to Alpha-, Beta-, and Gammaproteobacteria and Firmicutes group. Most of the retrieved sequences were closely related to high arsenic-resistance organisms, sulfide/thiosulfate oxidizers, denitrifiers, and aromatic hydrocarbon degraders. Thiobacillus distinctly predominated in clone library, which suggested that arsenic might be released by oxidized dissolution of sulfide minerals coupled to arsenate reduction or nitrate reduction in anaerobic condition. These data have important implications for understanding the microbially mediated arsenic mobilization in aquifers. 相似文献

Dissolved oxygen (DO) is a very important factor controlling the nitrogen cycle in wetlands. However, it is still unclear to what extent the presence of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and bacteria (AOB), and related nitrification, are influenced by DO in estuarine wetlands. The aims of this study were to determine changes of nitrification at the sediment–water interface, to examine the abundance and diversity of archaeal and bacterial ammonia oxidizers in estuarine sediments, and to identify the correlation between nitrification and ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms along a simulated dissolved oxygen gradient in a Chinese estuarine wetland. The results showed that the nitrification rate was positively correlated with the diversity and abundance of AOA but not AOB, and the abundance and diversity of AOA can explain 87 % of the total variance of the first axes in the redundancy analysis. This indicates that AOA were primarily involved in ammonia oxidation in this study. Additionally, AOB were much more influenced by DO than AOA inferred from the assessment of dominant species and principal coordinates analysis of AOA and AOB. Higher diversity and abundance of AOA occurred in the mangrove sediments, which explain the higher nitrification rates in the mangrove sediments compared to the bare mudflat sediments. Notably, the trend of nitrification rate in the bare mudflat sediments was different from that in the mangrove sediments, suggesting that the extent of nitrification as impacted by DO depends largely on the sediment biotic and nutrient properties, and its environmental conditions including DO levels. 相似文献

Intense pyrite formation under low-sulfate conditions in the Achterwasser lagoon, SW Baltic Sea 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

In comparison to similar low-sulfate coastal environments with anoxic-sulfidic sediments, the Achterwasser lagoon, which is part of the Oder estuary in the SW Baltic Sea, reveals unexpectedly high pyrite concentrations of up to 7.5 wt%. Pyrite occurs mainly as framboidal grains variable in size with diameters between 1 and 20 μm. Pyritization is not uniform down to the investigated sediment depth of 50 cm. The consumption of reactive-Fe is most efficient in the upper 20 cm of the sediment column, leading to degrees of pyritization (DOP) as high as 80 to 95%.Sediment accumulation in the Achterwasser takes place in high productivity waters. The content of organic carbon reaches values of up to 10 wt%, indicating that pyrite formation is not limited by the availability of organic matter. Although dissolved sulfate concentration is relatively low (<2 mmol/L) in the Achterwasser, the presence of H2S in the pore water suggests that sulfate is unlikely to limit pyrite authigenesis. The lack of free Fe(II) in the pore waters combined with the possibility of a very efficient transformation of Fe-monosulfides to pyrite near the sediment/water interface suggests that pyrite formation is rather controlled by (i) the availability of reactive-Fe, which limits the FeS formation, and by (ii) the availability of an oxidant, which limits the transformation of FeS into pyrite. The ultimate source for reactive-Fe is the river Oder, which provides a high portion of reactive-Fe (∼65% of the total-Fe) in the form of suspended particulate matter. The surficial sediments of the Achterwasser are reduced, but are subject to oxidation from the overlying water by resuspension. Oxidation of the sediments produces sulfur species with oxidation states intermediate between sulfide and sulfate (e.g., thiosulfate and polysulfides), which transform FeS to FeS2 at a significant rate. This process of FeS-recycling is suggested to be responsible for the formation of pyrite in high concentrations near the sediment surface, with DOP values between 80 and 95% even under low sulfate conditions.A postdepositional sulfidization takes place in the deeper part of the sediment column, at ∼22 cm depth, where the downward diffusion of H2S is balanced by the upward migration of Fe(II). The vertical fluctuation of the diffusion front intensifies the pyritization of sediments. We suggest that the processes described may occur preferentially in shallow water lagoons with average net-sedimentation rates close to zero. Such environments are prone to surficial sediment resuspension, initiating oxidation of Fe-sulfides near the sediment/water interface. Subsequent FeS2 formation as well as postdepositional sulfidization leads to a major pyrite spike at depth within the sediment profile. 相似文献

Sediments recovered from the flooded mine workings of the Penn Mine, a Cu-Zn mine abandoned since the early 1960s, were cultured
for anaerobic bacteria over a range of pH (4.0 to 7.5). The molecular biology of sediments and cultures was studied to determine
whether sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) were active in moderately acidic conditions present in the underground mine workings.
Here we document multiple, independent analyses and show evidence that sulfate reduction and associated metal attenuation
are occurring in the pH-4 mine environment. Water-chemistry analyses of the mine water reveal: (1) preferential complexation
and precipitation by H2S of Cu and Cd, relative to Zn; (2) stable isotope ratios of 34S/32S and 18O/16O in dissolved SO4 that are 2–3 ‰ heavier in the mine water, relative to those in surface waters; (3) reduction/oxidation conditions and dissolved
gas concentrations consistent with conditions to support anaerobic processes such as sulfate reduction. Scanning electron
microscope (SEM) analyses of sediment show 1.5-micrometer, spherical ZnS precipitates. Phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) and
denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analyses of Penn Mine sediment show a high biomass level with a moderately
diverse community structure composed primarily of iron- and sulfate-reducing bacteria. Cultures of sediment from the mine
produced dissolved sulfide at pH values near 7 and near 4, forming precipitates of either iron sulfide or elemental sulfur.
DGGE coupled with sequence and phylogenetic analysis of 16S rDNA gene segments showed populations of Desulfosporosinus and Desulfitobacterium in Penn Mine sediment and laboratory cultures. 相似文献

Voltammetric methods using direct insertion of a gold-amalgam microelectrode with a sensitive, computercontrolled voltammeter detected soluble iron(II) sulfide, [FeS]aq, in the porewaters of anoxic, sulfidic, fine-grained sediments from the Loughor Estuary, Wales. The voltammetric results are reproducible. Studies of cores stored in sealed, refrigerated containers for up to 21 d reveal no measurable oxidation. [FeS]aq forms in this estuarine environment as a result of the dissolution of amorphous FeS, and appears to be involved in the formation of pyrite. [FeS]aq makes no significant contribution to the total sulfide and iron contents of the sediment but could constitute an important component of the dissolved Fe(II) and S(−II) contents of the porewater. Mass balance calculations show pyrite forms in this system by the addition of sulfur to FeS rather than by the loss of iron from FeS. The overall process appears to involve [FeS]aq as an intermediary. Although the porewaters of the Loughor Estuary sediments are iron-rich relative to seawater, the iron sulfide-forming process is iron-limited rather than sulfide-limited. Reactive iron is bound to sulfide rapidly in the sediment. After the reactive iron is bound to sulfide, additional sulfide produced is fixed as pyrite. 相似文献

Contents and δ34S values of several S compounds, enumerations of S-reducing bacteria (SRB) and Fe-reducing bacteria (IRB), and Fe, Pb and In concentrations were determined for 210Pb-dated sediment cores from two lakes in Quebec, Canada. Both lakes are located approximately 70 km downwind of the Horne smelter and refinery in Rouyn-Noranda. Increases in Fe, Pb and In concentrations and a decrease in the δ34S values of total S in both lake sediment cores coincide with the start-up of the smelter in 1927. The shift towards more negative δ34S values was primarily caused by an increase in the extent of S isotope fractionation during bacterial (dissimilatory) SO4 reduction due to SO4 loading of the lakes after smelting began. Consequently, an enhanced accumulation of 32S-enriched reduced inorganic S compounds is evident in the sediments. δ34S values of organic S in the sediments decreased only slightly due to the smelter emissions between 1930 and 1980. Hence, due to the sulfide depositing mechanisms, S isotope ratios constitute a useful tracer recording the onset of S pollution in sediments of the two previously SO4-limited lakes investigated. In contrast, total S concentrations alone are not reliable indicators for anthropogenic S loading in lake sediment records. 相似文献

The basin-fill aquifers of the Western U.S. contain elevated concentrations of arsenic in the groundwater due to ancient volcanic deposits that host arsenic minerals. Microcosms were constructed using two oxidized sediments and, by contrast, a reduced sediment collected from a shallow basin-fill aquifer in the Cache Valley Basin, Northern Utah to evaluate the fate of geologic arsenic under anoxic conditions. Sequential extractions indicated the primary arsenic host mineral was amorphous iron oxides, but 13%–17% of the total arsenic was associated with carbonate minerals. Arsenic was solubilized from the sediments when incubated with groundwater in the presence of native organic carbon. Arsenic solubilization occurred prior to iron reduction rather than the commonly observed co-reactivity. Arsenic(V) associated with carbonate minerals was the main source of arsenic released to solution and redistributed onto less soluble minerals, including FeS and siderite as defined by chemical extraction. Arsenic reduction occurred only in the site-oxidized sediments. The addition of a carbon and energy source, glucose, resulted in enhanced arsenic solubilization, which was coupled with iron reduction from the site-oxidized sediments. Adding glucose promoted iron reduction that masked the role of carbonate minerals in arsenic solubilization and retention as observed with incubation with groundwater only. 相似文献
