The rate of the hydrogen sulfide oxidation in the redox zone of the Black Sea and the rate of the hydrogen sulfide formation due to bacterial sulfate reduction in the upper layer of the anaerobic waters were measured during the period of February–April 1991. The measurements were made using a sulfur radioisotope under conditions close to those in situ. It was established that the hydrogen sulfide is oxidized in the layer where oxygen and hydrogen sulfide coexist, which is under the upper boundary of the hydrogen sulfide layer. The maximum rate of the hydrogen sulfide oxidation was recorded within the limits of the density values δτ of 16.20–16.30, while varying in the layer from 2 to 4.5 μM/day. The average rate of the hydrogen sulfide oxidation was 1.5–3 times higher than that during the warm season. Sulfide formation was not observed at most of the stations in the examined lower portion of the pycnocline layer (140 to 400 m depths). Noticeable sulfate reduction was detected only at one station on the northwestern shelf. A probable reason for such noticeable changes in the sulfur dynamics in the water mass of the Black Sea may be the intensified hydrodynamics in the upper layers of the water mass during the cold season. The data suggesting that hydrogen sulfide oxidation proceeds under the hydrogen sulfide boundary indicate the absence of the so called “suboxic zone” in this basin.  相似文献

We discuss the results of analysis of published data and field and laboratory investigations aimed at the solution of the problem of comparabilityof the results of detection of hydrogen sulfide in the Black Sea by spectrophotometric and iodometric methods. We show that the reproducibility of the results of spectrophotometric analysis is higher than hat of the iodometric method only in the case where the content of sulfide in a sample is less than 10–30 μMl−1. When larger concentrations are involved, the traditional iodometric analysis proves to be the most precise and reliable method for the detection of hydrogen sulfide in the Black-Sea waters.

In and around the beds of vesicomyid clam (Calytogena soyoae) located off Hatsushima Island in Sagami Bay, central Japan, hydrogen sulfide concentration in bottom water and interstitial water was measured every 10 cm from just above seafloor to 40 cm deep usingin situ separative dialysis bags. While hydrogen sulfide over 0.01 mmol/kg was not measured from the seawater just above the dense clam beds, the concentration of hydrogen sulfide increased rapidly below 10 cm deep. The results indicate that the habit of the clam is correlated with high concentration of hydrogen sulfide contained in pore waters of sediments between depths of 10 and 20 cm from the bottom surface. Concentrations of hydrogen sulfide ranging from approximately 0.05 mmol/kg to 0.6 mmol/kg might be suitable requirement for the habitat ofC. soyoae.  相似文献

The bivalves Protothaca staminea and Mytilus edulis were exposed to five depths of decomposing bark from an active log transfer facility for 13–96 days in a field experiment at Auke Bay, Alaska. Survival and condition of both species was inversely related to depth and duration of bark coverage. As little as 6 cm of bark reduced survival; survival declined most rapidly between 10 and 15 cm of bark. The depths of bark under which half the animals died after 96 days of exposure were 12·8 ± 1·6 cm for P. staminea and 10·9 ± 1·5 cm for M. edulis. Interstitial water in the bark deposits had low concentrations of dissolved O2 (2·5–5·3 mg/liter) and elevated concentrations of hydrogen sulfide (1·0–8·1 mg/liter total sulfide) and ammonia (46–131 μg-at N/liter) compared to the surface water from the control treatment. Survival of P. staminea and M. edulis was inversely related to concentrations of hydrogen sulfide and ammonia and directly related to dissolved O2 concentrations.  相似文献

The present paper is based on the results of experiments on the adsorption of sulfide of bottom soil, which were carried out in 1979-1981, and gives special emphasis on the problem of the occurrence of the harm caused by hydrogen sulfide (H2S) to the shrimps cultured in the high-production earthen pond. The scientific basis of prevention and control of the harm caused by hydrogen sulfide occurring in the pond and a simple effective measure for high, stable production of penaeid shrimp culture are proposed accordingly.  相似文献

The stable isotope ratio of sulfur (34S/32S) in dissolved sulfate and hydrogen sulfide was measured for 20 water samples from two deep hydrocasts from the south-central Black Sea. The isotope ratio of total reduced sulfur was also measured for surface sediment collected below each hydrocast. The range in the δ34S measurements for sulfate was +18.20 to +20.17‰ and for hydrogen sulfide ?38.71 to ?4.85‰. The distribution pattern for δ 34S in both sulfate and sulfide appears to be the result of in situ sulfate reduction.  相似文献

During the August 1993 Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission's Contaminant Baseline Survey cruise to the high latitude North Atlantic, determinations of total dissolved sulfide (TDS=free sulfide, H2S(g)+HS−+S2−, plus dissolved metal–sulfide complexes), free sulfide, and carbonyl sulfide (OCS) were made along a horizontal transect and at six vertical profile stations. Unlike data from lower latitudes, the distributions of OCS and TDS were remarkably uniform, with surface water OCS averaging 108 pmol/l and TDS averaging 58 pmol/l; free sulfide was below the detection limits of 5 pmol/l at all stations. The vertical profiles of both OCS and TDS show surface maxima and rapid decreases into the major thermocline. For OCS this is indicative of production via photolysis of dissolved organic sulfur compounds, while TDS may be produced from the hydrolysis of OCS. The concentrations of OCS are similar to those found in coastal waters, and suggests that these sub-polar regions may be large OCS sources to the troposphere during summer. However, it is unclear whether higher concentrations of OCS precursors, a long photo period during summer, or slow rates of removal by hydrolysis due to low temperatures are responsible for the elevated OCS levels. TDS concentrations are primarily controlled by the rate of OCS hydrolysis, production by phytoplankton, and oxidative loss by oxygen and iodate. Both of the losses are affected by trace metal complexation, and to examine this, freshly collected seawater was amended by hydrogen sulfide gas and trace metal additions, and the concentration of free sulfide monitored as a function of metal concentration. This allowed the determinations of conditional stability constants for metal sulfides, with the log Kcond of Cd(HS)+ being 8.0±0.5, 7.0±0.6 for Ni(HS)+, and 7.4±0.7 for Zn(HS)+; attempts at measuring the Kcond of Cu(HS)+ were thwarted by the apparent reduction of Cu(II) to Cu(I) by sulfide. Using these constants in an equilibrium speciation model indicates that on average about 75% of the measured TDS was free, with the remaining fraction complexed with Ni, Cd, and Zn (in order of decreasing percentages). While closer to the field observations than would be found with stability constants reported by other workers, these values are still at variance with the actual speciation (i.e., <30% free). This suggests that the stability constants for Cd, Ni, and Zn are somewhat higher than found, thus reducing the concentration of free sulfide. Nevertheless, these speciation data are important for balancing the TDS budget since the loss by iodate oxidation of free sulfide exceeds all production estimates.  相似文献

Laboratory exposures of the urchin Lytechinus pictus to sediment dosed with varying concentrations of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), but without elevated organic material, were conducted. Changes in mortality, behavior, growth and gonad production were measured during 49 days' flow through exposures. Hydrogen sulfide concentrations of 165·8 μ liter−1 in pore water caused significant changes in all parameters measured. Concentrations as low as 32·9 μ liter−1 caused significant decreases in wet weight and male gonad production. A concentration of 91·8 μ liter−1 caused the mortality rate to increase 100-fold over control exposures (0·63 μ liter−1). Sublethal effects on growth and gonad production could have been caused by either direct biochemical inhibition by H2S or secondarily through behavioral modifications. Hydrogen sulfide concentrations above 165·8 μ liter−1 are common near sewage outfalls and could contribute to changes in species composition and sediment toxicity that occur there.  相似文献

Major electron donors (H2S, NH4+, Mn2+, Fe2+) and acceptors (O2, NO3−, Mn(IV), Fe(III)), process rates (35SO42− reduction, dark 14CO2 fixation) and vertical fluxes were investigated to quantify the dominant biogeochemical processes at the chemocline of a shallow brackish fjord. Under steady-state conditions, the upward fluxes of reductants and downward fluxes of oxidants in the water column were balanced. However, changes in the hydrographical conditions caused a transient nonsteady-state at the chemocline and had a great impact on process rates and the distribution of chemical species. Maxima of S0 (17.8 μmol l−1), thiosulfate (5.2 μmol l−1) and sulfite (1.1 μmol l−1) occurred at the chemocline, but were hardly detectable in the sulfidic deep water. The distribution of S0 suggested that the high concentration of S0 was (a) more likely due to a low turnover than a high formation rate and (b) was only transient, caused by chemocline perturbations. Kinetic calculations of chemical sulfide oxidation based on actual conditions in the chemocline revealed that under steady-state conditions with a narrow chemocline and low reactant concentrations, biological sulfide oxidation may account for more than 88% of the total sulfide oxidation. Under nonsteady-state conditions, where oxic and sulfidic water masses were recently mixed, resulting in an expanded chemocline, the proportion of chemical sulfide oxidation increased. The sulfide oxidation rate determined by incubation experiments was 0.216 μmol l−1 min−1, one of the highest reported for stratified basins and about 15 times faster than the initial rate for chemical oxidation. The conclusion of primarily biological sulfide oxidation was consistent with the observation of high rates of dark 14CO2 fixation (10.4 mmol m−2 day−1) in the lower part of the chemocline. However, rates of dark 14CO2 fixation were too high to be explained only by lithoautotrophic processes. CO2 fixation by growing populations of heterotrophic microorganisms may have additionally contributed to the observed rates.  相似文献

Hydrographic structure and transport of intermediate water were observed in the Kuroshio region south of Japan, focusing on the 26.6–27.5σθ density in six cruises from May 1998 through September 2001. In the section off the Boso Peninsula where the Kuroshio exfoliates eastward, the intermediate water was clearly clustered into three groups meridionally composed of the coastal water, the Kuroshio water and the offshore water. Compared with the Kuroshio water characterized by warm, salty water transported by the Kuroshio, the coastal and offshore waters significantly degenerated due to mixing with cold, fresh waters originated from the subarctic region: the former was affected by alongshore spread of the coastal Oyashio and the latter by direct intrusion of the new North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW) into the southern side of the Kuroshio current axis. Particularly the offshore water showed higher apparent oxygen utilization (AOU) in layers deeper than 26.9σθ while it showed lower AOU in layers shallower than 26.9σθ, which indicated that colder, fresher and higher AOU water was distributed on the southeastern side of the Kuroshio in deeper layers. In May 1998, the Oyashio-Kuroshio mixing ratio was estimated to be typically 2:8 for the offshore water on the assumption of isopycnal mixing. Moreover, northeastward volume transport of the Kuroshio water was obtained from geostrophic velocity fields adjusted to lowered acoustic Doppler current profiler (LADCP) data to yield 6.1 Sv at 26.6–26.9σθ and 11.8 Sv at 26.9–27.5 σθ. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

Anoxic conditions and contamination of the water column by hydrogen sulfide can be observed in several areas of the world ocean, particularly in intracontinental basins like the Black Sea. Study of the geologic, geochemical and paleontological features of the Tertiary Maikop paleobasin of the Tethys Ocean, which at its maximum development covered a large area from the Carpathians to western Turkmenistan and included part of the modern territory of Azerbaijan, shows that the processes taking place currently in some intracontinental basins like the Black Sea were also typical for some areas of this paleo-ocean. The development of anoxic environments and contamination by H2S in this basin depended upon many parameters, including basin closure, the quantity and type of organic matter deposited, complexities of the water cycle, and a strongly reducing environment. Characteristics of Maikop deposits indicate some similarities between anoxic conditions and mass mortalities in the Maikop paleobasin and in parts of the modern Caspian Sea, suggesting potential dangers for the latter.  相似文献

Vertical profiles of pH, Eh, and major and minor chemical constituents in interstitial waters have been studied in four piston cores from deep-sea basins of the Japan Sea. Sulfate concentration decreases remarkably with increasing depth in three cores, and hydrogen sulfide is observed in two cores although the overlying bottom water is highly aerated. Three types of interstitial waters are observed in the four cores: (1) alkalinity and manganese concentration increase gradually with increasing depth, and sulfate reduction is not appreciable, (2) alkalinity increases and sulfate concentration decreases remarkably, and hydrogen sulfide is not detected, and (3) alkalinity increases and sulfate concentration decreases remarkably, and hydrogen sulfide is observed. Factors controlling the chemical composition of interstitial waters are discussed.  相似文献

We consider data on the contents of hydrogen sulfide and silicic acid in waters of the Black Sea obtained in the course of field investigations during Cruise 4 of the R/VKiev. The special attention is given to the results of studying the influence of recently opened mud volcano manifestations on the chemical composition of benthic waters and, first of all, on the content of hydrogen sulfide. The data concerning the contents of hydrogen sulfide and silicic acid and the analysis of the relative chemical composition indicate the absence of any direct influence of mud volcanoes on the chemical composition of waters. At the same time, the investigations carried out confirmed the possibility of presence of distributed sources of hydrogen sulfide, which is a product of bacterial utilization of incoming hydrocarbons.  相似文献

The use of an antioxidant buffer allows potentiometric titrations of dissolved sulfide, providing cadmium or lead rather than silver is used as titrant. The method yields a measure of water-soluble as contrasted with acid-soluble sulfide.The vertical distribution of water-soluble sulfide has been determined in eight sediment cores from Montsweag Bay, Maine. Concentration profiles are characterized by one or two distinct maxima near the surface at depths ranging from 30 cm in areas of slow sedimentation, to 120 cm in areas of rapid sediment accumulation. Concentrations of sulfide at the maxima range from 1 to 8 moles sulfur per cubic meter of in situ mud, or from 0.6 to 4. millimoles sulfur per liter of pore water. The sulfide-rich upper portion of the mud is poorly consolidated and custardy in texture. As they are likely to be resuspended during proposed channel modifications, it is appropriate to inquire as to the oxidative demand of these sediments arising from their hydrogen sulfide content alone. Using a conservative estimated mean of 5 moles sulfide/m3-mud, it is shown that a mixing ratio of less than 30 volumes of oxygen saturated seawater per volume of mud will render the water anoxic.  相似文献

Preliminary measurements of sulfide in seawater using cathodic stripping voltammetry and a hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) in batch-mode showed that the sulfide peak decreased rapidly with time. This decrease was not caused by O2, H2O2 or IO3−, and the sulfide peak was not stabilised by trace metal additions. A home-made flow-cell was constructed to enable the determination of sulfide in seawater using voltammetry with an HMDE. A stable sulfide peak was obtained by flow-analysis with voltammetric detection, with a precision of 2.8% and detection limit of 0.5 nM at a 60 s adsorption time. Several thiol compounds were found to produce a peak at, or very close to, the peak potential for sulfide. Their interference was evaluated by allowing the sulfide peak in conventional (batch) voltammetry to decay. Comparative experiments showed that waste metallic mercury is responsible for removal of sulfide in batch-mode analysis due to formation of insoluble mercuric sulfide salts causing the rapid decay of the sulfide peak. The problem is circumvented by using flow-analysis to determine sulfide.  相似文献

The variations in CaCO3 and organic carbon and their inter-relationship in a core from the southeastern Arabian Sea (water depth 2,212 m) have been used to demarcate the Holocene/Pleistocene boundary; an increased terrigenous deposition during Late Pleistocene has been inferred. The higher contents of organic carbon and sulfide sulfur and their negative relationship clearly establish the existence of a reducing environment below 65 cm subbottom depth. The occurrence of pyrite framboids and crystals, present only on the surface of fecal pellets (80–85 cm), has been discussed in terms of significance of reducing microenvironment.  相似文献

The isotopic and ionic composition of pure gas hydrate (GH) water was examined for GHs recovered in three gravity cores (165–193 cm length) from the Kukuy K-9 mud volcano (MV) in Lake Baikal. A massive GH sample from core St6GC4 (143–165 cm core depth interval) was dissociated progressively over 6 h in a closed glass chamber, and 11 sequentially collected fractions of dissociated GH water analyzed. Their hydrogen and oxygen isotopic compositions, and the concentrations of Cl– and HCO3 – remained essentially constant over time, except that the fraction collected during the first 50 minutes deviated partly from this pattern. Fraction #1 had a substantially higher Cl– concentration, similar to that of pore water sampled immediately above (135–142 cm core depth) the main GH-bearing interval in that core. Like the subsequent fractions, however, the HCO3 – concentration was markedly lower than that of pore water. For the GH water fractions #2 to #11, an essentially constant HCO3 –/Cl– ratio of 305 differed markedly from downcore pore water HCO3 –/Cl– ratios of 63–99. Evidently, contamination of the extracted GH water by ambient pore water probably adhered to the massive GH sample was satisfactorily restricted to the initial phase of GH dissociation. The hydrogen and oxygen isotopic composition of hydrate-forming water was estimated using the measured isotopic composition of extracted GH water combined with known isotopic fractionation factors between GH and GH-forming water. Estimated δD of ?126 to ?133‰ and δ18O of ?15.7 to ?16.7‰ differed partly from the corresponding signatures of ambient pore water (δD of ?123‰, δ18O of ?15.6‰) and of lake bottom water (δD of ?121‰, δ18O of ?15.8‰) at the St6GC4 coring site, suggesting that the GH was not formed from those waters. Observations of breccias in that core point to a possible deep-rooted water source, consistent with published thermal measurements for the neighboring Kukuy K-2 MV. By contrast, the pore waters of core St6GC4 and also of the neighboring cores GC2 and GC3 from the Kukuy K-9 MV show neither isotopic nor ionic evidence of such a source (e.g., elevated sulfate concentration). These findings constrain GH formation to earlier times, but a deep-rooted source of hydrate-forming water remains ambiguous. A possible long-term dampening of key deep-water source signatures deserves further attention, notably in terms of diffusion and/or advection, as well as anaerobic oxidation of methane.  相似文献

New data are reported on the sulfur isotope composition and concentration of sulfide and sulfate in the upper part of the Black Sea anoxic zone as a function of the potential water density. The observations were performed at a station with the coordinates 44.489° N and 37.869° E three times a week every two days. A local negative deficiency in sulfate concentration up to 1.7% related to the sulfate reduction processes was recorded. This anomaly in sulfate concentration was short-lived and did not affect the sulfur isotope composition. In the upper part of the anaerobic zone, the δ34S(SO4) value varied from 21.2 to 21.5‰, which could have occurred from mixing of water masses from the oxic zone (21.1‰) and the Bottom Convective Layer (23.0 ± 0.2‰). The sulfur isotope composition of sulfide ranged from ?40.8% at a depth of 250 m to ?39.4‰ at the upper boundary of the anoxic zone with a H2S content of only 2.7 μM. Two models (mass balance and fractionation of sulfur isotopes using the Rayleigh equation) are considered to explain the differences in δ34S(H2S) values observed.  相似文献

Pumping rate of a mud shrimp,Callianassa japonica, in its burrow was measured by continuous monitoring of dye concentration in the burrow water. Measurement of dilution in two directions from stained overlying seawater to normal burrow water andvice versa, gave no significant difference in results. The rate of exchange (v) of burrow water was estimated from,v=(u t−u 0)V/(m−u t−1)t, whereV is volume of burrow water,u 0,u t−1 andu tis dye concentration of burrow water at time 0,t−1 andt, respectively, andm is dye concentration of overlying water. The pumping rate ranged from 0.63 to 5.46 ml min−1, which corresponded to a turnover time for the burrow water of 7–51 min. Short term changes in the pumping rate were correlated to intermittent behaviour of the shrimp in the burrow.  相似文献
