Abstract

The Haamer vibrocorer is a cheap and easily handled sampler for containing continuous cohesive or cohesionless sediment cores. This vibrocorer can be handled on board an ordinary trawler or small vessel. The penetration of the sampling barrel is actuated by two synchronized vibrators. Additional penetration force is provided by the buoyancy of a guiding buoy. To extend the maximum sampling length and to decrease the degree of disturbance, the vibrocorer is equipped with a plastic foil, which encases the core as it enters the liner and reduces inside friction. By providing the sampler with jetting water, the necessary penetration force is decreased. Testing a prototype is always difficult, but a working cycle of up to three cores an hour has been reached using a 6 m vibrocorer. A limited investigation has been conducted to determine the quality of the recovered cores; however, because of the poorly defined quality of the reference samples, no definitive answer to the question of sample disturbance can be given.  相似文献

A pressure tight sediment samphng technology, which can be introduced into the modification of the piston corer to accommedate the investigation of gas hydrate, is put forward. In this paper, the three basic rules of the technology are analyzed in detail: specimen transferring rule, seal self-tightening rule and semi-active pressure holding rule. Based on these, the structure of the pressure tight piston corer is put forward and its working principle is analyzed. Finally, a pressure tight sediment sampler, to which the same technology is apphed, is researched through experiments. Results show that the sampler based on the above-mentioned theory has a good ability in samphng and in -situ pressure holding.  相似文献

Two sampling devices for the in situ extraction of chlorinated hydrocarbons from water are described. Both samplers use the macroreticular adsorbent Amberlite XAD-2. They include a “fish” sampler which has been used to collect samples for PCB analysis from waters around the British Isles. Operation of this sampler causes a minimum of interruption to a ship's cruise programme and at the same time allows a large area to be surveyed. The second sampler is a self-powered in situ pump which is cheap to construct and can be left unattended to extract large volumes of water at a fixed station. The device is serviced by divers and samples may be collected daily on a routine sampling basis.  相似文献

A Remotely Operated Serial Sampler for Collecting Gas-Tight Fluid Samples   总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0  
This paper describes the design, construction and preliminary test results for a gas-tight serial sampler intended to be deployed at seafloor for long-term operation to take time-series fluid samples from deep-sea environments such as cold seeps, water column and hydrothermal vents. The serial sampler is a modular system that is based on independent and identical sampling modules, which are designed to collect six 160 ml gas-tight fluid samples maintained at high pressure to a depth of 4000 meters. With two working modes, the sampler can be deployed either with seafloor cabled observatory for remote control or as a stand-alone device for autonomous operation. A prototype of the instrument has been constructed and tested on the MARS cabled observatory for two months. The laboratory and field tests proved the success of the design and construction of the serial sampler, and indicated the potential for future ocean sciences.  相似文献

The construction and testing of a low cost, simple, intertidal and sub-tidal pore water sampler for use in sandy and muddy substrates are described in this note. The sampler, “porextractor”, is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plumbing materials that can be readily sourced at any local hardware shop and costs AU $ 15.00 to build. The only mechanical component of the porextractor is a plunger that is used only once at the time of deployment. The porextractor has been designed for use on seagrass beds to collect pore water samples with minimal disturbance to the substratum for nutrient flux studies. The relative efficiency of the porextractor was tested against the widely used “Winger and Lasier” sampler, a vacuum operated diffuser stone pore water sampler. The two samplers were compared for the volume of pore water collected in sandy and muddy substrates in the laboratory, and the concentrations of total nitrogen and total phosphorus in samples collected from a sandy substrate in Amphibolis and Posidonia seagrass meadows off the Adelaide coast. While the porextractor and the Winger and Lasier samplers worked equally well in the sandy sediments, the porextractor was more efficient than the latter in muddy sediments, where clogging was a major problem. In addition, there were no significant differences (p  0.05) in the concentrations of total nitrogen and total phosphorus measured from the pore water samples collected by the two samplers in situ from the seagrass bed. The simplicity, ease of construction, non-substrate specificity, and large sample volume yield are some of the major merits of the porextractor over other conventional techniques used for pore water sampling.  相似文献

Unrepresentative subsamples can be obtained from a sedimentary sample through repeated subdivision when using a mechanical microsplitter. Physical biases are often compounded by repetition and can result in wide variations among the estimates computed from the relative proportion of foraminifera of a given species. A new microsplitter, designed on a new principle, has been built to separate small representative subsamples. The device is based on the uniform distribution of unconsolidated sediments suspended in water. A subsample of the desired size is obtained by collecting sediment from an appropriate sedimentation area. Operation of this sampler is rapid and convenient and requires only one step, thus eliminating sampling biases introduced by repeated operations with other splitters. This new device was tested and found to be superior to the Otto Microsplitter according to some statistical goodness-of-fit tests conducted on the series.  相似文献

A sampler which permits concentration of both particulate and dissolved radionuclides from large volumes of ocean and freshwater has been developed and tested. The water sample passes through a filtration section for particle removal, then through a sorption section where the radionuclides of interest are removed on sorption or ion exchange beds. Components of the sampler which contact the water are of polyvinyl chloride construction, and flow rates of about 40 l./min are employed. This sampler has been successfully employed in concentrating some twenty radionuclides from ocean and fresh waters.  相似文献

A new type ofin situ filtration sampler is described. The all Teflon sampler is hung on a nylon rope attached to a steel wire (Fig. 3). By dropping a messenger, the sampler piston is pulled down by a released weight of 50 kg, and the sampler is filled with about 400 ml of filtered water. The sample is not contaminated by metals because there is no metal around the sampler.  相似文献

A new, automatic hydrothermal fluid sampler using a shape-memory alloy   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
A new hydrothermal fluid sampler has been developed to provide more maneuverability in underwater operation. The sampler characteristically employs a shape-memory alloy, which senses high temperature and actuates the suction mechanism. A shape-memory alloy is also used to switch the intake valve of the sampler, the intention being to avoid missampling when the inlet is in low temperature water. Prototype samplers were designed to collect the fluids hotter than 80°C. Test sampling was performed at hydrothermal vents (1372–1374 m deep) in the submarine volcano, Suiyo Seamount, Izu-Bonin Arc, northwestern Pacific. Observed fluid temperature was between 138 and 298°C, while the ambient seawater temperature was 3.1°C. Each prototype collected about 100 ml fluid as designed. The magnesium concentration in the samples indicated a seawater content of 47.5–90.8%, which indicates the entrainment of ambient seawater. Microscopic observatinn revealed the occurrence of microorganisms in the sample fluids at a population density of 105 to 106 cells ml−1, which is 2–3 orders of magnitude higher than those in seawater at that depth. The use of the newly developed fluid sampler will greatly facilitate the collection of vent-associated microorganisms, which are of potential biological and biotechnological interest.  相似文献

This note describes a core-sampler for use on fine-particle and high water content sediments, such as may be found on many lower salt-marsh regions. Samples in excess of 40 cm deep may be obtained readily, with minimal compression of the sediment sample, and with little associated disturbance to surrounding sediment. Impedance due to vegetation roots is reduced by means of a serrated cutting edge. The core sampler can be employed even when the sediment to be sampled is under a shallow layer of water.  相似文献

The hydrostatic energy of high-pressure seawater is a renewable and green energy source for ocean exploration and have been used to replace underwater electrical energy transmission through the cable and underwater battery pack to power seafloor equipment. The advantage of the energy supply method is the cost-effective and the robustness. In the paper, the energy performance of the existing hydrostatic seafloor sediment samplers powered by seawater hydrostatic energy are modelled and analyzed and compared. In view of the common shortcoming of existing technology, a novel hydrostatic seafloor sediment sampler is proposed. The model of energy conversion of the new sampler is built, and its energy performance is obtained. The analysis results indicate that the energy conversion efficiency of the novel sediment sampler is much higher than the existing ones, which means that the new sampler can collect much longer sample with the limited amount of hydrostatic energy. The seawater hydrostatic energy conversion system of the new sampler can also be used to power other seafloor equipment.  相似文献

Research and development in ocean engineering, particularly in the areas of deep ocean drilling and platform construction, have progressed remarkably in the past few decades. By and large, instrumentation for biological ocean research, in comparison, remains simplistic. A brief review of marine biological sampling devices is provided, indicating the relative inadequacies of marine bio-instrumentation. Equipment for plankton, benthos, and nekton sampling has been improved in recent years compared to that available for nannoplankton. Nevertheless, there are limitations even in the best of these devices, and improvements in sampling gear would benefit ocean biology significantly. Precise sample collection of surface slicks, water column, and ocean sediment is mandatory for biological assessment of environmental impact. The necessary sampling gear is either not available or under development and, in cases where the instrumentation is available, it is, in general, either limited in application or not entirely reliable. As an example, increasingly, the ocean serves as the receptor of discharge from sewage outfalls, deep water disposal, and ocean dumping. Thus assessment of biological impact is required, particularly in light of the increasing frequency of reports of survival of bacteria and viruses pathogenic for man in those regions of the world oceans significantly affected by these activities. Improved instrumentation for aseptic sample collection and retrieval of water, sediment, and biota for quantitative, as well as qualitative, microbiological analyses are needed. Developments in baromicrobiology have been rapid, but improved instrumentation is needed. Even though aseptic collection of deep ocean water samples is possible, sediment sample collection for microbiology is still accomplished by coring or grab devices, with no instrument yet available for quantitative undisturbed sample collection without contamination from water column microorganisms.  相似文献

A new box-corer is described. Placement and penetration of the box-corer is video-assisted to secure a sample representative of the bottom. The box itself is constructed of fully transparent polycarbonate which allows for video control observation of the sediment/water interface during sampling. The box is open during the descent towards the seabed but closes when the release is triggered. The box-corer is hydraulically damped so that the box after landing is very gently pushed into the seabed to a predetermined depth. A sediment sample with a total length of about 35 cm and with a surface area of 400 cm 2 (20.0 x 20.0 cm) is collected in the box together with the near bottom water to a height of about 10 cm above the bed. The box-corer height is 180 cm and the total weight about 200 kg. The legs can be dismounted which makes transportation easy. The box-corer has been operated with success both in coarse sand and in soft silt and clay dominated sediments.  相似文献

A new series of sediment corers--a Single Tube Gravity Corer and a Multiple Tube Gravity Corer has been developed for taking undisturbed vertical soft sediment samples, and a Hydraulic Pressure Multiple Tube Corer has been preliminarily designed. The Single Tube Gravity Corer can be operated by hand easily without using a winch, and it might be the simplest and the cheapest core sampler available. The Multiple Tube Gravity Corer was developed based on the Single Corer, which normally consists of three coring tubes, however, it is possible to install up to six tubes. The Hydraulic Pressure Multiple Tube Corer has been designed based on the Multiple Corer, which would take undisturbed sediment samples, and would be controlled by a computer and monitored by an underwater video camera. The pore water collection and the sediment Eh measurement-subsampling process through the transparent plastic tube wall is straightforward. Compared to other types of coring devices, such as the famous KC Kajak sediment core sampler made in Denmark; these corers have greater reliability, being simple in structure, relatively light weight, easy and efficient to operate, highly adaptable, and relatively inexpensive to produce.  相似文献

Field studies were carried out to determine and compare the impact of organic loads due to the biodeposition of a mussel farm on the water quality and sediment in a coastal area of the Tyrrhenian Sea (Western Mediterranean). A total of five environmental and five microbial parameters were examined from March, 1997 to February, 1998 on a monthly basis at three stations: the first was located under the mussel farm, the second located at about 40 m away from the mussel farm, while the third designed as a control was at about 1-km. No clear changes in the physical characteristics of the water masses were observed, comparing the three sampling sites and the water column generally showed homogeneous conditions (in terms of temperature and salinity). Changes in density of aerobic heterotrophic bacteria, Escherichia coli and Enterococci in the water column are apparently independent from changes in environmental parameters. At all stations a constant significant correlation between temperature and presumptive Vibrio parahaemolyticus was reported suggesting that this abiotic factor exerted a major control on this bacterial group and its distribution in the water column is not related to the biodeposition of the mussel farm. The major impact identified was on the sediment where variations in bacterial abundance was observed. In the Mussel station sediment enrichment of organic compounds, and the consequent modification of the characteristics of the benthic environment, determined an increase in aerobic heterotrophic bacteria, and particularly of vibrios density (on average about 60%), suggesting that these bacteria are good indicators of organic enrichment.  相似文献
