Many studies have been conducted on model transfer in soil–plant systems. However, relatively little information is available
on modeling metal transfer in soil–rice system and associated risk assessment in real paddy fields. Based on a random sampling
method from Nanxun, Shengzhou and Wenling in Zhejiang province, China, 15 pairs of rice and the corresponding soil samples
were respectively collected for analysis of heavy metals and soil pH. The results showed that the accumulation ability of
rice for different heavy metals was significantly different (p < 0.05), and was in the order of Cd > Zn > Cu > Ni > Cr > Pb. The relationships of heavy metals in rice with those in soil,
along with soil pH, were well described by linear regression models. Except for Pb, the contents of most metals in rice were
positively correlated with those of the soil. Soil pH was negatively correlated with the contents of Cd, Zn and Ni in rice,
and positively correlated with Pb in rice; however, it had less effect on Cr and Cu. Based on risk reference dose (RfD), the risk assessment data indicated that the rice grown in Zhejiang paddy fields does pose some potential Cd and Cr contamination
risk to food safety; rice in Shengzhou posed light Ni risk. 相似文献

Effects of rock fragments on infiltration and evaporation in hilly purple soils of Sichuan Basin,China 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

This paper presents the results of laboratory experiments showing the effects of rock fragments contained in three different
purple soils of the Sichuan basin of southwest China. The experiments investigated how these rock fragments alter the soil’s
physical, chemical, and agronomical characteristics such as infiltration and evaporation. We found that the infiltration rate,
whether horizontal or vertical, in the three soils has the following order: gray brown purple soil < reddish brown purple
soil < brown purple soil. With increasing rock fragment contents the accumulated infiltration decreases, while the total time
decreases first and then increases. The minimum occurs at approximately 10–20% of fragment content by weight. The infiltration
rate also changes with the distance. In the 0–5 cm range, the initial infiltration rate increases with increasing rock fragment
contents, while in the 5–10 cm range, the slope of infiltration curve increases with increasing rock fragment contents. With
increasing distance, the slope gradually decreases and finally reaches a stable value. The presence of rock fragments reduces
soil water content, the minimal value appearing when the rock fragments were on top of the soil column (soil + rock sample),
decreasing with increasing rock fragments for other samples mixed with fragments. Under the constant 40°C temperature, the
accumulated evaporation and evaporation rate are minimal for soils covered by rock fragments, and the accumulated evaporation
decreases with increasing rock fragment for other soil samples. However, the evaporation rate increases with increasing rock
fragments in the first 4 days and decreases thereafter. 相似文献

Karst rocky desertification is a process of land degradation involving serious soil erosion, extensive exposure of basement
rocks. It leads to drastic decrease in soil productivity and formation of a desert-like landscape. In this regard, changes
in climatic conditions are the main origin of the soils degradation. Indeed, soils subjected to successive dry/wet cycling
processes caused by climate change develop swelling and shrinkage deformations which can modify their water retention properties,
thus inducing the degradation of soil–water capacity. The ecological characteristics of cultivation soils in karst areas,
Southwest of China, are extremely easy to be affected by external environmental factors due to its shallow bedding and low
vegetation coverage. Based on the analysis of the climate (precipitation) of this region during the past decades, an experimental
study has been conducted on a cultivated soil obtained from the typical karst area in southwestern China. Firstly, the soil–water
properties have been investigated. The measured soil–water retention curve shows that the air-entry value of the soil is between
50 and 60 kPa, while the residual saturation is about 12%. Based on the experimental results, three identifiable stages of
de-saturation have been defined. Secondly, a special apparatus was developed to investigate the volume change behavior of
the soil with controlled suction cycles. The vapor equilibrium technique was used for the suction control. The obtained results
show that under the effect of dry/wet cycles, (1) the void ratio of the cultivated soil is continuously decreasing, leading
to a gradual soil compaction. (2) The permeability decreases, giving rise to a deterioration of water transfer ability as
well as a deterioration of soil–water retention capacity. It is then obvious that the long-term dry/wet cycling process caused
by the climate change induce a continuously compaction and degradation of the cultivated soil in karst rocky desertification
areas. 相似文献

Major geotechnical problems in construction involving silty–clayey soils are due to their low strength, durability and high
compressibility of soft soils, and the swell–shrink nature of the overconsolidated swelling soils. Confronted with these problems,
a suitable ground improvement technique is needed, for deep excavations in soft clays, for stability, durability and deformation
control. Cement-stabilization is one of the alternatives. An increase in strength and durability, reduction in deformability
are the main aims of this method. Conventional cement-stabilization methods are used mainly for surface treatment. However,
the use of cement has recently been extended to a greater depth in which cement columns were installed to act as a type of
soil reinforcement (deep cement–soil mixing and cement jet grouting). In situ engineering properties of these silty–clayey soils are often variable and difficult to predict. For this reason cement-stabilization
methods have a basic target to control the aforementioned engineering properties of these clays so that the properties of
a silty–clayey soil become more like the properties of a soft rock such as clayey shale or lightly cemented sandstone. So
cement-stabilization of these soils is essential to control their engineering properties and to predict their engineering
behaviour for construction. In an effort to predict, classify and study the suitability of silty–clayey soils for cement-stabilization
both slaking and unconfined compressive strength tests were carried out on clayey–sand mixtures consisted of two types of
clays, kaolin and bentonite. Finally diagrams were prepared to study the variation of slaking and strength due to compaction,
curing time and cement percentage and also to predict areas of efficient cement-stabilization. 相似文献

Effect of local nonlinearity in cohesionless soil on optimal radius minimizing fixed-head pile bending by inertial and kinematic interactions 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Masato Saitoh 《Acta Geotechnica》2010,5(4):273-286
This study presents the effects of a local nonlinearity in cohesionless soil upon the optimal radius minimizing the bending
strains of a vertical, cylindrical fixed-head pile embedded in a layered soil stratum in a soil–pile–structure system where
the kinematic interaction dominates. The seismic deformation method (SDM) with discretized numerical models is applied since
the SDM is a static numerical method that can easily consider realistic conditions of layered soil strata and the nonlinearity
of the soil. In the numerical models, the local nonlinearity of the soil in the vicinity of the pile is represented by subgrade
springs having bi-linear skeleton curves with a simple hysteretic loop. Various amplitudes of the lateral displacements of
the soil and the lateral forces at the head of the pile are considered as numerical parameters. The results of parametric
analyses reveal the presence of an optimal pile radius that locally minimizes the bending strains of the piles under strong
nonlinearity of the soil, and the optimal pile radius tends to increase as the degree of nonlinearity increases. Criteria
are presented for predicting the increment in the optimal radius of soil–pile–structure systems under strong nonlinearity
in the soil. 相似文献

Hyperfiltration of Nacl Solutions Using a Simulated Clay/Sand Mixture at Low Compaction Pressures 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
It is widely recognized that clays and shales can demonstrate membrane properties. When a hydraulic head differential exists
across a membrane-functioning clay-rich barrier, some of the solute is rejected by the membrane. This process is known as
hyperfiltration. Some shallow geologic environments, including aquitards bounding shallow perched aquifers and unconfined
aquifers, some river and stream beds, and some lake bottoms contain clay–soil mixes. Many engineering structures such as landfill
liners, mixed soil augered barriers, and retention pond liners also consist of soil–clay mixes. No previous testing has been
performed to investigate the likelihood that hyperfiltration may occur in such mixed soils. Therefore, we performed five experiments
using different mixes of Na-bentonite and glass beads (100, 50, 25, 12 and 0% clay) to determine if any of these mixes exhibited
membrane properties and to investigate what effect clay content had upon the membrane properties of the soil. Each mixture
was compacted to 345 kPa and the sample mixtures were 0.58–0.97 mm thick. All the experiments used an approximately 35 ppm
Cl− solution under an average 103 kPa hydraulic head. Experimental results show that all the simulated clay–sand mixtures do
exhibit measurable membrane properties under these conditions. Values of the calculated reflection coefficient ranged from
a low of 0.03 for 12% bentonite to 0.19 for 100% bentonite. Solute rejection ranged from 5.2% for 12% clay to a high of over
30% for the 100% clay. The 100% glass bead sample exhibited no membrane properties. 相似文献

This study presents a laboratory study of the following two aspects: (1) the influence of sea laver treatment acid on the
geoenvironmental properties of Ariake Sea tidal mud, and (2) the natural remediation effect on the sea laver treatment acid
contaminated Ariake Sea tidal mud caused by the upward seepage of pore water liquid in the mud. Firstly, the mechanisms of
the transport of sea laver treatment acid in the Ariake Sea tidal mud and the generation mechanisms of the upward seepage
flow in the Ariake Sea tidal mud are discussed. Secondly, a series of one-dimensional laboratory infiltration tests were carried
out to investigate the deterioration of the Ariake Sea tidal mud caused by the sea laver acid treatment practice. Test results
reveal that the acid treatment practice caused considerable change in the geochemical properties of the mud in terms of increase
in sulfide content and decrease in pH value. After the treatment by the sea laver treatment acid, the sulfide content of the
mud even exceeded the safe limit value for the benthos, which represents undesirable living condition for benthos. Thirdly,
series of laboratory fresh seawater infiltration tests for the deteriorated Iida site mud were conducted to illustrate this
natural remediation efficiency. It is found that with the infiltration of the fresh seawater, the sulfide content of the Iida
site mud was considerably reduced and pH value increased to an acceptable range for benthos living in the tidal flat mud.
With the increase in the infiltration time and the hydraulic gradient, the remediation efficiency could be increased. 相似文献

In this study, we tried to model the processes of moisture and heat transfers in the soil–vegetation–atmosphere system in
an integrated comprehensive way. The purpose of the study is to simulate profiles of soil water content and temperature at
root active zone (i.e., 0–50 cm), taking the root water uptake, soil evaporation, and canopy transpiration into account. The
water and heat transfer equations are solved by an iterative Newton–Raphson technique and a finite difference method is used
to solve the governing equations. Soil water content and soil temperature dynamics could be simulated rather accurately in
a cropped field on Loess Plateau area. The water and heat transfer flux predicted by the classical theory of Philip and de
Vries (Tans Am Geophys Union 38:222–232, 1957) slightly overestimated near the surface and underestimated at the deeper depths, as a result of the overestimated soil evaporation
at the top soil layer (0–10 cm) and underestimated crop canopy transpiration at the deeper depths (10–50 cm). Water content
tended to be underestimated for the entire profile at the soil surface (from 0 to 50 cm). Soil temperatures during the simulated
period was slightly overestimated in the nighttimes and underestimated in the daytimes, as a result of the underestimated
soil water content at the top soil layer (0–10 cm) and overestimated at the deeper depths (10–50 cm). Soil temperatures tended
to be underestimated for the entire profile at the soil surface (from 0 to 50 cm). While the sum of the water and heat regimes
yielded a much better match with the soil water content and soil temperature obtained from the field observations. The results
obtained show that the model coupled water and heat transfer is able to capture the dynamics of soil water content. 相似文献

This second paper reports the results of plant growth, plant mortality, plant leaf tissue metal and salt concentrations and
leachate quality monitoring from lysimeters in four large field trial treatments established on sulfidic waste rock/soil that
was used for haul road construction at a closed gold mine in Australia. The TerraB™, lime and clay treatments allowed good
tree growth of four Eucalypt species, compared to the control. There was no statistical difference in tree growth between
the TerraB™, lime or clay treatments over the 2 years of monitoring in this paper. However, the growth of one tree species
was poor in the TerraB™ treatment. Leaf tissue metal and major ion data are also presented. Leachate pH in the control became
increasingly acidic (pH 4.57–3.95). The addition of Ca(OH)2 and biosolids led to an initial increase in leachate pH, compared to the control; however, this has decreased over the duration
of the study (pH 5.37–4.89) and may affect the sustainable growth of plants in the future. In the TerraB™ and biosolids treatment
leachate pH increased to 6.92 after the first rainfall event and continued to increase over the duration of the study to pH
7.4 after 24 months. After 24 months average heavy metal leachate concentrations (mg/L) in the lysimeters for Al, Cd, Cu,
Mn and Zn were, control: 32.55, 5.67, 12.71, 39.29, 121.80, TerraB™: 0.07, 0.02, 0.07, 0.57, 0.23, and lime: 2.19, 1.19, 2.33,
3.6, 28.4. No leachate was available for collection from the clay treatment indicating that this technique was functioning
in terms of minimizing the infiltration of water into the mine soil. 相似文献

A barrier system based on the hydraulic trap design concept for a landfill was proposed. To study the field scenario in which
a clay liner is underlain by a granular layer functioning as a secondary leachate drain layer, a laboratory advection–diffusion
test was performed to investigate factors controlling the transport of contaminants in a two-layer soil system. The soils
used for this study were Ariake clay and, the underlying layer, Shirasu soil from the Kyushu region of Japan. Potassium (K+) was selected as the target chemical species with an initial concentration of 905 mg L−1. The effective diffusion coefficients (D
e) of K+ for Ariake clay and Shirasu soil were back-calculated using an available computer program, Pollute
V 6.3. Values of D
e derived from this experiment are consistent with previously published ones. The Ariake clay has lower D
e than the Shirasu soil. The hypothesis that mechanical dispersion can be considered negligible is reasonable based on both
the observation that the predicted values well fit the experimental data and the analyses of two dimensionless parameters.
Parametric analyses show that transport of K+ through soils is controlled by advection–diffusion rather than diffusion only, whereas at low Darcy velocity (i.e., ≤10−9 m s−1), transport of K+ will be controlled by diffusion. Applications of the test results and parametric analysis results in practical situations
were reviewed. 相似文献

Geochemical study of arsenic and other trace elements in groundwater and sediments of the Old Brahmaputra River Plain,Bangladesh 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

The geochemical study of groundwaters and core sediments from the Old Brahmaputra plain of Bangladesh was conducted to investigate
the distribution of arsenic and related trace elements. Groundwaters from tube wells are characterized by pH of 6.4–7.4, dissolved
oxygen (DO) of 0.8–1.8 mg/l, Ca contents of 5–50 mg/l, and Fe contents of 0.2–12.9 mg/l. Arsenic concentrations ranged from
8 to 251 μg/l, with an average value of 63 μg/l. A strong positive correlation exists between As and Fe (r
2 = 0.802; p = 0.001) concentrations in groundwater. The stratigraphic sequences in the cores consist of yellowish silty clays at top,
passing downward into grayish to yellowish clays and sands. The uppermost 3 m and lower parts (from 13 to 31 m) of the core
sediments are oxidized (average oxidation reduction potential (ORP) +170 and +220 mV, respectively), and the ORP values gradually
become negative from 3 to 13 m depths (−35 to −180 mV), indicating that anoxic conditions prevail in the shallow aquifers
of the Brahmaputra plain. Age determinations suggest that clay horizons at ~10 m depth were deposited at around 2,000 and
5,000 years BP (14C ages) during the transgressive phase of sea-level change. Elevated concentrations of As, Pb, Zn, Cu, Ni, Cr, and V are present
in the silts and clays, probably due to adsorption onto clay particles. Significant concentrations of As occur in black peat
and peaty sediments at depths between 9 and 13 m. A strong positive correlation between As and Fe was found in the sediments,
indicating As may be adsorbed onto Fe oxides in aquifer sediments. 相似文献

The compressibilities of two synthetic glaucophane samples were measured over the range of 0–10 GPa at ambient temperature
in a diamond-anvil cell at the Cornell High-Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS). The pressure–volume data were fitted to the
Birch–Murnaghan equation of state taking care to include only data with a minimum of deviatoric stress. When using a second-order
truncation, both samples yielded essentially identical values of the bulk modulus K
0, which had an average value of 91.8 ± 1.3 GPa. Maximum compression was observed approximately along the a* axis as shown by the strain ellipsoid and supported by the a axis showing the highest compressibility. These results agree closely with the earlier study of a natural glaucophane single-crystal
by Comodi et al. (Eur J Mineral 3:485–499, 1991), suggesting that the substitution of about 20–30 mol.% of Fe for Mg and Al in the structure may not significantly change
its compressibility. 相似文献

Laboratory cyclic swell–shrink tests were carried out on compacted expansive soil specimens to study in detail the effect
of changes in shrinkage pattern on the swell–shrink behaviour of compacted expansive soils. Compacted soil specimens were
allowed to swell and either shrank fully or partially shrank to several predetermined heights in each cycle. The tests were
carried out at a surcharge pressure of 50 kPa. The test results revealed that shrinkage of compacted saturated soil specimens
to predetermined height in each shrinkage cycle provides similar conditions as that of the controlled suction tests with an
increasing number of swell–shrink cycles. The water content of soil specimens and hence soil suction was found to remain nearly
constant for each pattern of shrinkage. For soil specimens equilibrated to a given swell–shrink pattern, suction at the end
of shrinkage cycles was changed from a higher suction to a lower suction, and also from a lower to a higher suction. The experimental
results showed that there may be an immediate equilibrium state attained by the soil in terms of swell–shrink potential if
suction at the shrinkage cycles was less than the past suction; otherwise, the equilibrium state was accompanied by fatigue
of swelling. The volumetric deformation of the soil specimen subjected greater shrinkage was found to be much larger than
the corresponding vertical deformation. The compressibility index of microstructure, κm, was determined for several shrinkage patterns. It is shown that κm is heavily influenced by suction at the end of shrinkage cycles. 相似文献

Recently in China, soil–cement is widely used to improve the soft ground in the highway construction engineering. Literature
studies are mainly investigating the mechanical properties of the soil–cement, while its properties of the electrical resistivity
are not well addressed. In this paper, the properties of the electrical resistivity of the reconstituted soil-cement and the
in situ soil–cement columns are investigated. The test results show that the electrical resistivity of the soil–cement increases
with the increase in the cement-mixing ratio and curing time, whereas it decreases with the increase in the water content,
degree of saturation and water–cement ratio. A simple equation is proposed to predict the electrical resistivity of soil–cement
under the condition of the specified curing time and water–cement ratio. It is found that the electrical resistivity has a
good relationship with the unconfined compression strength and blow count of SPT. It is expected that the electrical resistivity
method can be widely used for checking/controlling the quality of soil–cement in practice. 相似文献

Global positioning system (GPS) and satellite-based InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) measurements of the subsidence
and uplift of a populated area of Sidoarjo, East Java are due to the eruption of the Lusi mud volcano (2006–present). These
data are the first direct quantitative measurements of deformation due to the growth of a mud volcano edifice. The GPS data
were recorded over periods of a few hours to several months and show that between June 2006 and September 2007, the earth’s
surface has been subsiding at rates of 0.1–4 cm/day. Maximum rates of subsidence occurred in an area 300–400 m to the northwest
of the main mud volcano vent. Horizontal displacements were 0.03–0.9 cm/day and were also towards this area. In general uplifts
of up to 0.09 cm/day were recorded in areas outside of the edifice. Changes in elevation measured using satellite imagery
(InSAR technique) provide regional datasets of subsidence and uplift. They confirm that during the first year a roughly circular
area was undergoing sag-like subsidence centered to the northwest of the main vent and that uplift was occurring 3–4 months
after the initiation of the eruption due to the movement Watukosek fault system. Subsidence occurred due to the weight of
mud and man-made dams and the collapse of the overburden due to removal of mud from the subsurface. Assuming constant rates
of subsidence of 4 cm/day, then in the centre of the edifice there would be up to 44 m of subsidence in 3 years, and up to
16 m in 10 years. The mud volcano is now in a self-organizing state with new fluid conduits forming as a result of the collapse.

This study reports the first field test of a multi-channel, auto-dilution, steady-state, soil–CO2 flux monitoring system being developed to help understand the pathways by which fugitive CO2 from a geologic sequestration site migrates to the surface. The test was conducted from late August through mid-October 2008
at the Zero Emissions Research and Technology project site located in Bozeman, MT. Twenty steady-state and five non-steady-state
flux chambers were installed in a 10 × 15 m area, one boundary of which was directly above a shallow (2-m depth) horizontal
injection well located 0.5 m below the water table. A total flux of 52 kg CO2 day−1 was injected into the well for 13 days and the efflux from the soil was monitored by the chambers before, during, and for
33 days after the injection. The results showed a rapid increase in soil efflux once injection started, with maximal values
reached within 3–7 days in most chambers. Efflux returned to background levels within a similar time period after injection
ceased. A radial efflux pattern was observed to at least 2 m from the injection well, and evidence for movement of the CO2 plume during the injection, presumably due to groundwater flow, was seen. The steady-state chambers yielded very stable data,
but threefold to fivefold higher fluxes than the non-steady-state chambers. The higher fluxes were attributed to vacuum induced
in the steady-state chambers by narrow vent tubes. High winds resulted in significant decreases in measured soil CO2 efflux, presumably by enhancing efflux from soil outside the chambers. 相似文献

Distribution of Cd,Pb, Zn and Cu and their chemical speciations in soils from a peri-smelter area in northeast China 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
An exploratory study on soil contamination of heavy metals was carried out surrounding Huludao zinc smelter in Liaoning province,
China. The distribution of total heavy metals and their chemical speciations were investigated. The correlations between heavy
metal speciations and soil pH values in corresponding sites were also analyzed. In general, Cd, Zn, Pb, Cu and As presented
a significant contamination in the area near the smelter, comparied with Environmental Quality Standards for Soils in China.
The geoaccumulation index showed the degree of contamination: Cd > Zn > Pb > Cu > As. There was no obvious pollution of Cr
and Ni in the studied area. The speciation analysis showed that the dominant fraction of Cd and Zn was the acid soluble fraction,
and the second was the residual fraction. Pb was mostly associated with the residual fraction, which constituted more than
50% of total concentration in all samples. Cu in residual fraction accounted for a high percentage (40–80%) of total concentration,
and the proportion of Cu in the oxidizable fraction is higher than that of other metals. The distribution pattern of Pb and
Zn was obviously affected by soil pH. It seemed that Pb and Zn content in acid solution fraction increased with increasing
soil pH values, while Cd content in acid soluble fraction accounted for more proportion in neutral and alkaline groups than
acidic one. The fraction distribution patterns of Cu in three pH groups were very similar and independent of soil pH values.
And the residual fraction of Cu took a predominant part (50%) of the total content. 相似文献

The compressive and tensile strengths of frozen clay are important parameters for frozen wall design in artificial freezing
excavation of tunnels and foundation pits. Up to now, nobody has conducted the compressive and tensile test of frozen clays
in Shanghai area. In this paper, the unconfined compressive and tensile tests of frozen clay specimens drilled from the soil
horizons 3–5 in Shanghai area were conducted in Zwick-Z020kN High-low Temperature Materials Testing Machine and Frozen Soil
Triaxial Testing Machine, the corresponding constitutive equations were suggested; the temperature-unconfined uniaxial compressive
strength relation was discussed; the strain rate–unconfined uniaxial compressive strength and strain rate–uniaxial tensile
strength relations were studied. The relation between moisture content, dry density and unconfined uniaxial compressive strength
was analyzed, too. In addition, the uniaxial compressive elastic modulus of Shanghai frozen clays and its influence factors
were discussed. The research work of the current paper is very helpful for the design and theoretical studies of artificial
freezing excavation in soft soil areas. 相似文献
