Six sulfur forms were investigated in profiles of freshwater- and marine-derived peat-forming systems of the Okefenokee Swamp, Georgia and Everglades Swamp, Florida. Total sulfur levels of 0.1–10% were found, thus indicating a major incorporation of sulfur in the very early stages of coal formation. The quantities of hydrogen sulfide and elemental sulfur observed appeared to be indicative of whether marine or freshwater conditions prevailed at the site of deposition. Carbon-bonded sulfur accounted for 70% of the total sulfur in the freshwater peat and 50% of the total sulfur in the marine peat. Over 15% of the total sulfur was in pyritic combination in the marine environment, while levels of pyrite in the freshwater peats were an order of magnitude lower. An ester-sulfate fraction represented 25% of the total sulfur in both freshwater and marine peats. The levels of sulfur forms in the peat profiles are compared to those observed in living plants and to various coals; levels of pyrite and organic sulfur in the peat are similar to those found by other investigators in freshwater-derived and marine-derived coals.  相似文献

Peptides were released from organic matter fractions of three Italian soils (humin, humic and fulvic acids), when the samples were hydrolyzed in Ba(ON)2-saturated solution at 105°C for 2 hr. The peptides obtained were separated using electrophoresis and paper chromatography. The presence of polypeptides in the soil organic matter was indicated by: (1) their hydrolysis by pronase; (2) the amino acids released by 6 N HCl hydrolysis; (3) The comparison of i.r. spectra of humic fractions before and after hydrolysis with 6 N HCl.Attempts at isolating the native proteinaceous compounds using electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel failed; additionally, our attempts to hydrolyze proteinaceous components enzymatically in unfractionated soil organic matter, as well as in its fractions, before and after methylation, with pepsin, papain and pronase, were unsuccessful. Pronase demonstrated a weak proteolytic activity only at very low substrate-enzyme ratios (20 : 1) in humic and fulvic fractions and in whole phyrophosphate extract. Deproteinated substrates treated with pronase also released free amino acids, suggesting autodigestion.In humin, humic and fulvic fractions we found a total amino acid content of 40–45%, 12–24% or 1–85, respectively. Amino acid recovery from single fractions was about 70–80% of the total content in the unfractionated soil.  相似文献

Humic sulfur is commonly the most important pool of organic sulfur (OS) in marine sediments and also important for the budget of total sedimentary sulfur. In this study, contents and stable sulfur isotopic compositions of hydrolyzable organic sulfur (HYOS), humic acid sulfur (HA-S) and fulvic acid sulfur (FA-S) in one core collected from the East China Sea (ECS) inner shelf were determined to investigate the sources and pathways of OS formation and to compare diagenetic geochemistry of HA-S and FA-S. HYOS in the core is essentially biological in origin and diagenetically refractory, with a fairly low fraction of labile sulfur bearing biomolecules. HA-S in the core is largely terrigenous residual bio-OS, while FA-S is a mixture of marine bio- and diagenetic OS (diag-OS), with the diag-OS fractions between 44% and 71%. Both HA-S and FA-S contents in the core are at the lower ends of the corresponding values reported in the literature. The HA in the sediments is diagenetically inert, subject to neither significant diagenetic sulfurization nor bio-OS mineralization loss, while the FA is reactive, prone to both sulfurization and decomposition loss of diagenetically bound OS. Low contents of humic S [i.e., ∑(HA-S + FA-S)] in the core may suggest that OS burial has only minor contribution to the burial of total sulfur in the sediments due to generally low OM sulfurization.  相似文献

Electron paramagnetic spectra of humic acid and various fractions of fulvic acid from a deep peat soil were studied and related to some of the metals present. In fulvic acid, VO2+ occurred in complexed form. The Mn2+ components all had a high degree of ionicity. In the humic acid fraction Cu2+ was present as a copper porphyrin-type complex.  相似文献

Cross polarization, magic-angle spinning 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to characterize humic fractions isolated from different soils. The acid fractions are more aromatic than the humin fractions, probably due to the higher polyssaccharide content of humins. However, fulvic acid fractions are more aromatic than the corresponding humic acid and humin fractions. These results can be interpreted in terms of the isolation procedure, because the high affinity of Polyclar AT for phenols results in higher aromaticities as compared with other isolation methods (e.g. charcoal).  相似文献

Two organic rich sediments, an oxic muddy sand and a silty mud containing sulphate reducing and methane producing metabolic zones, were sampled from Loch Duich, a fjord type estuary in the N.W. coast of Scotland. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC), as measured by dry combustion and UV absorption, remained constant (8.3–15.8 mg C/l) with depth in the oxic pore waters at a concentration at least twice that of the overlying seawater. DOC in the anoxic pore waters increased linearly with depth from 13.6 at the surface to 55.9–70.5 mg C/l at 80cm. Most of the DOC was present in the high molecular weight (HMW) fraction as separated by ultrafiltration; the low molecular weight (LMW) fraction remained constant (10.0 mg C/l) in both oxic and anoxic pore waters. Spectroscopic data showed the ‘humic’ fraction of the HMW dissolved organic matter was mainly fulvic acid, a small proportion (approx 1%) of humic acid, and a third fraction, possibly melanoidins, which increased relative to fulvic acid with depth. These data confirm the pathway of humification (NissenBaum et al, 1971; nissenbaum and Kaplan, 1972) where HMW organic matter accumulates in pore waters as condensation products of LMW organic substances.  相似文献

Humic matter fractions from modern sediments of Lake Huron and Lake Michigan have been compared. Large yields of saccharinic acids from alkaline hydrolysis suggest that these fractions contain large portions of carbohydrate materials. Evidence for contributions of aquatic lipid (C-16 fatty acids) and of liginin (phenolic acids) to these sediments is also present in the hydrolysis products. Qualitative differences among fulvic acid, humic acid and humin from the same lake are minor, suggesting common (or similar) organic sources for these fractions. The lability of sedimentary humic matter to alkaline hydrolysis is inversely related to its degree of exposure to oxidative weathering. Lability may also be related to diagenetic state as fulvic acids generally yield greater quantities of hydrolysis components than humic acids which in turn yield more than humin.  相似文献

Sources of sedimentary humic substances: vascular plant debris   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
A modern Washington continental shelf sediment was fractionated densimetrically using either an organic solvent, CBrCl3, or aqueous ZnCl2. The resulting low density materials (<2.06 g/ml) account for only 1% of the sediment mass but contain 25% of the sedimentary organic carbon and 53% of the lignin. The C/N ratios (30–40) and lignin phenol yields (Λ = 8) and compositions indicate that the low density materials are essentially pure vascular plant debris which is slightly enriched in woody (versus nonwoody) tissues compared to the bulk sediment. The low density materials yield approximately one-third of their organic carbon as humic substances and contribute 23% and 14% of the total sedimentary humic and fulvic acids, respectively. Assuming that the lignin remaining in the sedimentary fraction is also contained in plant fragments that yield similar levels of humic substances, then 50% and 30% of the total humic and fulvic acids, respectively, arise directly from plant debris.Base-extraction of fresh and naturally degraded vascular plant materials reveals that significant levels of humic and fulvic acids are obtained using classical extraction techniques. Approximately 1–2% of the carbon from fresh woods and 10–25% from leaves and bark were isolated as humic acids and 2–4 times those levels as fulvic acids. A highly degraded hardwood yielded up to 44% of its carbon as humic and fulvic acids. The humic acids from fresh plants are generally enriched in lignin components relative to carbohydrates and recognizable biochemicals account for up to 50% of the total carbon. Humic and fulvic acids extracted directly from sedimentary plant debris could be responsible for a major fraction of the biochemical component of humic substances.  相似文献

57Fe Mössbauer spectra have been obtained from samples of humic acid, fulvic acid and kerogen and from the organic material extracted from bituminous chalk with benzene-methanol. The spectra indicate that iron occurs in a trivalent form in the silicate residue of the humic acid fraction, as hydrated ferrous ions associated with the fulvic acid fraction, as pyrite in kerogen and in a form not detectable by Mössbauer spectroscopy in the benzene-methanol extract.  相似文献

Organic matter from an arable soil derived from base rich parent material was extracted by alkali and fractionated on the basis of solubility in 0.1 N HCl, hot water and hot 6 N HCl and by selective adsorption on charcoal. The distribution of associated metals was determined and Cu had the largest proportion, 15%, associated with the organic matter. Moderate proportions of the total Al, Co, Ni, and V (3–8%) but only small amounts (?1%) of the Mn, Fe, Ti, Cr, Ba and Sr were extracted from the soil by alkali. The Fe and Ti were concentrated mainly in the humic fraction whereas Mn and V were both found largely in the fulvic acid.Electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of the various fractions were examined and attempts made to relate the spectra to the forms of some of the metals present. In the humic acid fraction Cu was present partly as a copper porphyrin-type complex but in the fulvic acid it was in some other complexed form. VO2+ occurred in complexed forms in the fulvic acid which were more covalent than VO2+ humic acid complexes, whereas the Mn2+ components of the humic and fulvic acids all had a high degree of ionicity.  相似文献

Despite of the importance of the aquatic ecosystems as organic matter pools within the global carbon cycle, specific studies in river sediments are still insufficient. This study was carried out in an Atlantic basin where nine sites were selected in the lowest middle stretch of the River. The analyses include total organic carbon, C/N ratios, humus composition (humic, fulvic and humin), A2/A4 and A4/A6 ratios, biologically active organic matter (BAOM), water soluble organic matter (WSOC) and coloured water soluble organic carbon (CWSOC). The results suggested a predominance of allochthonous sources to the organic matter, highly influenced by the land uses together with the river hydrodynamics, namely urban and forest at sites 1, 2 and 9, and agricultural at sites 7 and 8. The 38% of the total organic matter was humic and fulvic acids. The biologically active organic matter, which may act as a proxy of microbial activity, showed a mean value of 0.9% of the total organic matter, showing the lowest values at sites with the highest organic matter total, soluble or coloured. This coloured organic matter represented an average of 3.60% of the total organic matter, and showed the highest visible light absorption at those sites more affected by human activities, close to centres of population (1, 2 and 9). This coloured fraction showed also a high degree of photostability. C/N ratios were less effective to discriminate between allochthonous or autochthonous sources, whereas A4/A6 ratios were effective to estimate variations of autochthonous sources, as it measures the variations of phytopigments of the river bed sediments.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of agricultural practices on the characteristics of soil organic carbon (SOC). The study area is located in the Central Volcanic Belt (Michoacán) in Mexico. The soil is an Acrisol, acidic and rich in clays and sesquioxides. Experimental plots were treated with four different agronomic management systems between 2002 and 2003: traditional, improved traditional, organic and fallow. Each treatment was replicated twice. Samples were taken at depths of 0–10 and 10–20 cm and were subjected to a physical fractionation process by way of particle size. SOC was fractionated into fulvic acids, humic acids and humin. After two years of cultivation, the SOC content increased significantly with the organic management (2.2 mg g−1 at 0–10 cm and 5.8 mg g−1 at 10–20 cm). The C content of the soil fine particle fraction increased with the traditional and organic managements. The organic C and N contents of the silt + clay particle-size fraction were mainly concentrated as humin, indicating that this SOM should be stable and have a low risk of mineralization. The humin C content only decreased significantly under the traditional and fallow treatments. The N content of the humin fraction decreased significantly under the traditional management system (from 69% to 54%), indicating the low sustainability of this soil management. The C/N ratio of the soil increased significantly under all treatments, but mainly under the traditional and organic treatments (from 12.1 and 12.8 to 13.7 and 14.0, respectively). This indicates a decrease in humus quality. In addition, the C/N of the humin increased significantly (from 13.3 and 12.7 to 19.2 and 16.0, respectively).  相似文献

The naturally abundant nitrogen in soil and aquatic NOM samples from the International Humic Substances Society has been characterized by solid state CP/MAS 15N NMR. Soil samples include humic and fulvic acids from the Elliot soil, Minnesota Waskish peat and Florida Pahokee peat, as well as the Summit Hill soil humic acid and the Leonardite humic acid. Aquatic samples include Suwannee River humic, fulvic and reverse osmosis isolates, Nordic humic and fulvic acids and Pony Lake fulvic acid. Additionally, Nordic and Suwannee River XAD-4 acids and Suwannee River hydrophobic neutral fractions were analyzed. Similar to literature reports, amide/aminoquinone nitrogens comprised the major peaks in the solid state spectra of the soil humic and fulvic acids, along with heterocyclic and amino sugar/terminal amino acid nitrogens. Spectra of aquatic samples, including the XAD-4 acids, contain resolved heterocyclic nitrogen peaks in addition to the amide nitrogens. The spectrum of the nitrogen enriched, microbially derived Pony Lake, Antarctica fulvic acid, appeared to contain resonances in the region of pyrazine, imine and/or pyridine nitrogens, which have not been observed previously in soil or aquatic humic substances by 15N NMR. Liquid state 15N NMR experiments were also recorded on the Elliot soil humic acid and Pony Lake fulvic acid, both to examine the feasibility of the techniques, and to determine whether improvements in resolution over the solid state could be realized. For both samples, polarization transfer (DEPT) and indirect detection (1H–15N gHSQC) spectra revealed greater resolution among nitrogens directly bonded to protons. The amide/aminoquinone nitrogens could also be observed by direct detection experiments.  相似文献

Mangrove Lake, Bermuda, is a small coastal, brackish-water lake that has accumulated 14 m of banded, gelatinous, sapropelic sediments in less than 104 yr. Stratigraphic evidence indicates that Mangrove Lake's sedimentary environment has undergone three major depositional changes (peat, freshwater gel, brackish-water gel) as a result of sea level changes. The deposits were examined geochemically in an effort to delineate sedimentological and diagenetic changes. Gas and pore water studies include measurements of sulfides, ammonia, methane, nitrogen gas, calcium, magnesium, chloride, alkalinity, and pH. Results indicate that sulfate reduction is complete, and some evidence is presented for bacterial denitrification and metal sulfide precipitation. The organic-rich sapropel is predominantly algal in origin, composed mostly of carbohydrates and insoluble macromolecular organic matter called humin with minor amounts of proteins, lipids, and humic acids. Carbohydrates and proteins undergo hydrolysis with depth in the marine sapropel but tend to be preserved in the freshwater sapropel. The humin, which has a predominantly aliphatic structure, increases linearly with depth and composes the greatest fraction of the organic matter. Humic acids are minor components and are more like polysaccharides than typical marine humic acids. Fatty acid distributions reveal that the lipids are of an algal and/or terrestrial plant source. Normal alkanes with a total concentration of 75 ppm exhibit two distribution maxima. One is centered about n-C22 with no odd/even predominance, suggestive of a degraded algal source. The other is centered at n-C31 with a distinct odd/even predominance indicative of a vascular plant origin. Stratigraphic changes in the sediment correlate to observed changes in the gas and pore water chemistry and the organic geochemistry.  相似文献

Aquatic humic substances, which account for 30 to 50% of the organic carbon in water, are a principal component of aquatic organic matter. The molecular size of aquatic humic substances, determined by small-angle X-ray scattering, varies from 4.7 to 33 Å in their radius of gyration, corresponding to a molecular weight range of 500 to greater than 10,000. The aquatic fulvic acid fraction contains substances with molecular weights ranging from 500 to 2000 and is monodisperse, whereas the aquatic humic acid fraction contains substances with molecular weights ranging from 1000 to greater than 10,000 and is generally polydisperse.  相似文献

Studies were conducted to characterize soil humin by acid hydrolysis.Two humin samples collected from two different types of soil,namely chernozem and laterite,which are widespread over a vast area from the north to south of China,were hyrolyzed under reflux with 0.5M H2SO4or 3M H2SO4for 4h.The results showed that 25%-29% of organic carbon and 46%-54%of organic nitrogen could be hydrolyzed by 0.5M H2SO4;36%-40%of organic carbon and 93%-97% of organic nitrogen hydrolyzed by 3M H2SO4.The C/N ration in hydrolyzed organic matter is lower than that in soil humin and that in organic matter hydrolyzed by 3M H2SO4 is lower than that in organic matter hydrolyzed by 0.5M H2SO4.The proportion of nitrogen hydrolyzed from humin is markedly larger than that from the original soil and also markedly larger than that from humic acid fraction.Only 3%-7% of nitrogen in humin exists in a relatively stable from,which is not easy to hydrolyze.There in little nitrogen that occurs in the form of heterocyclic rings in humin.Incubation experiments showed that the newly formed organic matter can be hydrolyzed more easily.  相似文献

Lipids, fulvic acid, humic acid and kerogen were isolated from a lacustrine sediment in which the organic matter is probably derived predominantly from phytoplankton (Lake Haruna, Japan). An alkaline KMnO4 oxidation study of the organic matter showed that distributions of polymethylene chain lengths in the lipids, humic acid and kerogen fractions are almost the same. The polymethylene chains in the sediment are dominant in the kerogen, lipids and humic acid, their relative abundance estimated by the oxidation being: kerogen (42% of the total amounts of polymethylene chains estimated) > lipids (38%) > humic acid (19%) > fulvic acid (1%). It was concluded that algal lipids may have been incorporated into the kerogen and humic acid fractions after the death of the algae and during, after, their deposition.  相似文献

Five surface sediment samples (0–3 cm), two suspended sediment samples and a zooplankton sample from Lake Ontario were analysed for nitrogen-containing compounds. Amino acids, amino sugars, ethanolamine and urea were separated and characterized by ion-exchange chromatography. Free amino acids and soluble combined amino acids and amino sugars accounted for less than 0–25 per cent of the total nitrogen in the sediments. Insoluble combined amino acids and amino sugars were the most abundant nitrogen fraction in the sediments, making up from 49 to 55 per cent of the total nitrogen. Evidence is presented that asparagine, glutamine and citrulline are present in the interstitial waters and may make up part of the sediment organic nitrogen that was not characterized.The free amino acids released by the proteolytic enzyme, pronase, from the interstitial waters and sediment humic and fulvic acid extracts were determined. Pronase released 65 per cent of the soluble combined amino acids and 34 per cent of the fulvic acid amino acids as free amino acids. Enzyme activity was inhibited in the presence of the humic acid extract. The results indicate that the combined amino acids in the interstitial waters and fulvic acid extracts are intermediates between the primary aquatic detritus and the sediment humic acids. The enzyme experiments and infra-red data indicate that part of the sediment amino acids are combined through peptide linkages.  相似文献

Vanillyl, syringyl and cinnamyl phenols occur as CuO oxidation products of humic, fulvic and base-insoluble residual fractions from soils, peat and nearshore marine sediments. However, none of these lignin-derived phenols were released by CuO oxidation of deepsea sediment or its base-extractable organic fractions. Lignin analysis indicated that peat and coastal marine sediments contained significantly higher levels of recognizable vascular plant carbon (20–50%) than soils and offshore marine sediments (0–10%).Although accounting for less than 20% of the total sedimentary (bulk) lignin, lignin components of humic acid fractions compositionally and quantitatively resembled the corresponding bulk samples and baseinsoluble residues. Recognizable lignin, presumably present as intact phenylpropanoid units, accounted for up to 5% of the carbon in peat and coastal humic acids but less than 1% in soil humic acids. Fulvic acid fractions uniformly yielded less lignin-derived phenols in mixtures that were depleted in syringyl and cinnamyl phenols relative to the corresponding humic acid fractions.Within the vanillyl and syringyl families the relative distribution of acidic and aldehydic phenols is a sensitive measure of the degree of oxidative alteration of the lignin component The high acid/aldehyde ratios and the low phenol yields of soils and their humic fractions compared to peat and coastal sediments indicate extensive degradation of the lignin source material. Likewise, the progressively higher acid/aldehyde ratios and lower phenol yields along the sequence: plant tissues (plant debris)-humic acids-fulvic acids suggest that this pattern represents the diagenetic sequence for the aerobic degradation of lignin biopolymers.  相似文献
