分析表观耗氧量、滴定碱度及总二氧化碳量等资料来研判红海及亚丁湾间之海水交换。结果显示,红海深层水的方解石及霰石饱和度均比亚丁湾和阿拉伯海深层水的饱和度高。红海全水柱之方解石和霰石都处於过饱和状态,亚丁湾和阿拉伯海中各深度之方解石亦呈过饱和状态,但霰石的饱和探度则大约在500m左右。分析深层水之生物体无机碳与有机碳的分解比值,可以发现此地区深层水中,大约有25％的总二氧化碳增加量是由无机碳酸钙溶解而来。 相似文献

The vertical distribution of density, salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, apparent oxygen utilization, nutrients, preformed phosphate, pH, alkalinity, alkalinity: chlorinity ratio, in situ partial pressure of carbon dioxide, and percent saturation of calcite and aragonite, for the Southeastern Bering Sea, is studied and explained in terms of biological and physical processes. Some hydrological interactions between the Bering Sea and the North Pacific Ocean are explained. The horizontal distribution of dissolved oxygen at 2000 and 2500 m depths, throughout the Bering Sea, indicates that deep water is flowing from the Pacific, through the Kamchatka Strait, and then northward and eastward in the Bering Sea. Based on the dissolved oxygen distribution we estimate roughly that it takes 20 years for the deep waters to move from the Kamchatka Strait to the Southeastern part of the eastern basin. The surface concentration of nutrients is higher in the Bering Sea than in the North Pacific Ocean, probably because of upwelling and intense vertical mixing in the Bering Sea. A multivariable regression analysis of dissolved oxygen as a function of phosphate concentration and potential temperature was applied for the region where the potential temperature-salinity diagram is straight, and the confidence interval of the PO4 coefficient, at the 95% probability level, was found consistent with theRedfield biochemical oxidation model. The calcium carbonate saturation calculations show that the Bering Sea is supersaturated with aragonite in the upper 100 m, and with calcite in the upper 200 m. Below these depths seawater is undersaturated with respect to these two minerals. 相似文献

Calcium in sea water was determined of the samples taken from the Antarctic and Indian Oceans. Surface water commonly contains less calcium relative to chlorinity than does deep water. The tendency, however, is very faint in the Antarctic Ocean. In the surface waters, the Ca/Cl ratio is lower in the tropical and subtropical waters and the ratio well correlates with phosphate. The Ca/P ratio is calculated as 37 in atomic ratio. These may indicate that calcium is uptaken by organisms to make skeletal parts from surface water which is supersaturated with respect to calcite or aragonite. On the other hand, no definite correlationship between calcium and phosphate is found in subsurface water. This fact suggests that the regeneration process of calcium from organic debris is different from that of phosphate. The increase-rate of calcium in the abyssal water is estimated to be 0.18g at./(1 yr), which is due to the dissolution of calcium carbonate. The rate is about a half of total carbonate increase in the water. 相似文献

国际大洋发现计划(International Ocean Discovery Program, IODP)349航次在南海东部次海盆和西南次海盆残留扩张脊附近的U1431和U1433站位首次钻取基底玄武岩, 通过对16块基底玄武岩内的碳酸盐岩脉薄片镜下观察以及激光拉曼光谱分析, 揭示碳酸盐矿物为方解石和文石, 为典型的洋壳低温热液蚀变次生矿物。U1431站位碳酸盐岩脉为独立的方解石脉、文石脉交替出现; 而U1433站位则存在方解石脉、文石脉和方解石-文石共生脉三种情况。此外, U1431站位在基底~42.1m处出现了平行的方解石脉和文石脉, 揭示U1431存在不同来源热液的多期活动, 即可能存在多次或多阶段不同的热液注入。U1431和U1433站位的碳酸岩脉中, 文石的矿物集合体形状基本一致, 呈块状、纤维状和放射纤维状; 而方解石存在差异, U1431的方解石以斑块状、块状、粒状和纤维状出现, 而U1433的方解石仅出现块状。U1431站位的碳酸盐岩脉的丰度明显高于U1433站位。这些均揭示U1431站位的低温热液活动强, 而U1433站位则相对弱。两个站位的热液活动不同很可能是由于区域地质环境的差异造成——U1431附近的巨大海山为其提供了热液补给, 而U1433远离热液的补给/渗漏点。 相似文献

The influence of Mg2+ ions on the ion-activity product of calcium and carbonate dissolved in seawater has been investigated. The present approach is based mainly on: (1) the preponderance of this element in the marine system; (2) the observations by Weyl (1965), Jansen and Kitano (1963), and more recently by Plummer and Mackenzie (1974) on the higher solubility of magnesian calcite relative to pure calcite; and (3) the inferences drawn from our laboratory studies on the Ca2+—Mg2+ ion-exchange behaviour on surfaces of pure calcite. From these considerations, the pK value corresponding to a calcite containing 12 mole% of MgCO, has been estimated to be 7.7± 0.1 at 20°C. This value has serious reflections on the extent of saturation of seawater with respect to calcium-carbonate polymorphs. The reassessed degree of carbonate saturation for an average warm-surface ocean turns out to be only between 1.0 and 2.2. 相似文献

Closed system equilibration experiments between natural seawater and shallow water calcium carbonate-rich sediments from the Bahamas yielded steady-state calcium carbonate ion activity products (CCIAP). Results obtained from initially supersaturated and undersaturated solutions were in good agreement. Experiments conducted with the addition of a biocide and/or the destruction of sediment organic matter gave results similar to those obtained in systems where these treatments were not used. Excellent agreement was also found between CCIAP values for 8 day and more than 50 day equilibration times. Our results, therefore, meet the major criteria for at least metastable equilibrium between the solution and carbonate sediment.Fine-grained samples produced a CCIAP close to the value predicted for aragonite, which is the major carbonate phase in all samples. Coarse-grained sediments produced larger CCIAP values of up to 2.8 times that predicted for aragonite equilibrium. The CCIAP for the coarse-grained sediments is probably produced by high-Mg calcite which is a significant component of these sediments. Oolite samples were among the coarse-grained sediment samples studied. They also produced results much greater than expected for aragonite equilibrium. This brings into question their use as material for measuring aragonite solubility as has been done in the past.The CCIAP measured in the laboratory experiments are in good agreement with field observations of pore-water CCIAP values from the fine-grained sediments. Coarse-grained sediments showed greater variability, with higher CCIAP values generally occurring in the pore waters than in the laboratory experiments. Since the overlying waters were always at a higher CCIAP than the pore waters, the major factor causing this difference is believed to be the short residence time of pore waters in the coarse-grained sediments, which is the result of the high-energy hydrodynamic environments in which they reside. 相似文献

The carbonate system in the central South China Sea 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The Clements of the carbonate system (HCO3- , CO32-, CO2, ·CO2 and Pco2) in the central South China Sea have been calculated by determining the pH values and total alkalinity of the seawater samples collected at 42 stations, combining simultaneously with the data of the temperatures, salinity and depths. The distributions of their characteristics have been briefly described and discussed. The saturation degrees (Ω) of calcite and aragonite in the studied area have also been evaluated. The ΩcaIc- and Ωarag. in the surface waters are about 5.8 and 3.9, respectively. The saturation depth is about 2200m for calcite and 1200m for aragonite. The lysocline in the studied area probably lies between 3000 m and 4000 m where the saturation degree of calcite is approximately 0.78. 相似文献

Periplatform surface sediments were studied for carbonate mineralogy in conjunction with analyses of the water column for carbonate chemistry on the eastern Northern Nicaragua Rise (NNR) in the Caribbean Sea. The results show a strong correspondence between variations and disappearance, with increasing water depth, of metastable carbonate minerals (fine aragonite and magnesian calcite) and their respective saturation levels in the overlying waters. Similar correspondence between variations in sediment proportions of fine aragonite and magnesian calcite and their respective saturation levels has previously been established in the Bahamas. There are, however, significant differences between the two areas. The sharp decrease in aragonite content and the measured aragonite saturation level occur at 4000 m in the Bahamas, compared to 1800 m on the eastern NNR. In both areas, magnesian calcite minima correspond to the in situ PCO2 maxima in the water column. The magnesian calcite minimum, however, is at 950 m in the Bahamas and 750 m on the eastern NNR. Magnesian calcite disappears in the Bahamas at 3800 m and at 2000 m on the eastern NNR. These results demonstrate the importance of the influence of overlying water chemistry on the preservation of metastable carbonate minerals in off-bank periplatform sediments, and they clearly demonstrate the difference in terms of carbonate preservation between the poorly ventilated waters of the Caribbean Sea and the well-oxygenated waters of the adjacent Atlantic Ocean. They also open the possibility of obtaining paleoceanographic information on the depth of the CO2 maximum (O2 minimum) and its separation from the aragonite saturation depth in at least some areas. 相似文献

The applicability of chlorine to control Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) biofouling was investigated.Onsite hypochlorite generation was found to be the preferred method of chlorination. The major fouling organisms of concern to OTEC are the microfouling organisms, that is, initial slime layers. However, macrofouling organisms may become a problem after several years of plant operation. Continuous low-level chlorination is more effective against hard-shelled macrofouling organisms and soft-shelled organisms, whereas intermittent chlorination will control slimes and soft-shelled organisms.Actual on-site experimentation is needed before effective doses and chlorination regimes can be recommended. The doses and regimes may vary depending upon whether the condenser and/or evaporator heat exchangers are chlorinated. 相似文献

莱州湾南岸平原地下水化学特征研究 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
用2009年莱州湾南岸地下水最新监测数据,将研究区地下水淡水区、微咸水区、咸盐水区和卤水区进行经典统计分析、相关分析、等值线图和Piper三线图绘制,阐述了水化学类型和成分特征从南往北的变化:EC、TDS、Na+、K+、Mg2+、Cl-、SO42-的平均浓度从南部淡水到北部卤水呈现逐渐增大趋势,因为在卤水区普遍发生碳酸钙沉淀,Ca2+和HCO3-则在咸盐水区浓度达最高;pH值从淡水到卤水呈现从弱碱性到弱酸性的转变;从淡水区向卤水区地下水化学组分阴离子由HCO3-为主变为Cl-为主,阳离子由Ca2+为主变为Na+为主;此外河流对地下水起到淡化和冲刷的作用。主成分分析法提取了水化学3个主成分,分别代表了地下水盐化指标、生物化学作用和碳酸钙沉淀。进一步结合系数比值法和饱和指数计算,在对本区水文、地质以及离子水文地球化学特性分析基础上,指出地下卤水阴阳离子中占绝对优势的Cl-、SO42-、Na+、Mg2+的毫克当量百分数与正常海水的值非常相近而与地下淡水的值相差甚远,反映出本区地下卤水起源于古海水,为沉积海水。此外卤水绝非海水简单浓缩的产物,其间还包括复杂的水化学变质过程及后期演化如矿物沉淀、阳离子交换(K+-Ca2+;Na+-Ca2)+、去白云岩化作用和硅酸盐蚀变等。饱和指数的计算表明石膏在卤水矿化度达100 g/L之后才开始缓慢沉淀,而文石、方解石和白云石基本一直处于饱和沉淀状态,且文石和方解石的饱和指数散点分布极为相似,说明两者可能同时发生沉淀。 相似文献

It is generally accepted that seawaters near the ocean surface are supersaturated with calcite and that increasing atmospheric CO2 will not overcome this condition until late in the 21st century. These expectations are based on comparisons of the ion activity products (IAPs) of various seawaters to the solubility product (K) of seawater saturated with pure calcite at 1 atm and a given temperature. It has been shown in recent papers, however, that calcites in contact with natural seawater in the surface oceans are not pure, but are magnesian calcite compositions. As a result, the presently accepted values of the solubility product of calcite in seawater cannot be used to obtain a correct, or even a reasonable estimate of the saturation state of sea water relative to either pure or magnesian calcite. Data are presented demonstrating that use of the currently accepted solubility product of calcite in seawater to determine seawater's relative calcite saturation leads to gross overestimates of its extent. 相似文献

The interaction of Mn2+ with the surface of calcite in aqueous solutions is complex. In dilute solutions the Mn2+ is rapidly absorbed, MnCO33 nucleates on the calcite surface and then grows by a first order reaction with respect to the initial Mn2+ concentration. At higher ionic strengths in NaCl solutions, the rate of these processes is slower, but the same general pattern persists. In solutions containing Mg2+, at the concentration of seawater and in seawater, the nucleation phase of the uptake process does not appear to occur. The long-term uptake rate of Mn2+ on the surface of calcite in seawater is first order with respect to the dissolved Mn2+ concentration. The rate constant is over three orders of magnitude smaller than that found in dilute Mg2+-free solutions. A probable explanation for the slower growth rate in seawater is that MnCO3 is not nucleated on the calcite surface due to the presence of high Mg2+ concentrations. The Mg2+, through site competition, prevents enough Mn2+ from being adsorbed to reach a critical concentration for MnCO3 nucleation. This behavior is similar to that found for orthophosphate with calcite surfaces in dilute solutions and seawater. It indicates that rhodochrosite cannot nucleate in carbonate-rich recent sediments unless the Mg2+ concentration is lowered below that of seawater.Measurements of the solubility of rhodochrosite in seawater gave results from an undersaturation approach to equilibrium in excellent agreement with those found in previous studies in dilute solutions. When equilibrium was approached from supersaturation, approximately fifty times more calcium was precipitated than Mn2+. The measured solubility was over twice that determined from undersaturation. It is possible that a Mn—calcite containing 25 to 30 mol% MnCO3 formed on the rhodochrosite from the supersaturated solutions. Consequently, it is doubtful that pure rhodochrosite controls the concentration of Mn2+ even in calcium carbonate-poor marine environments. 相似文献

Ultrastructure dissolution susceptibility of the planktic foraminifer Globigerina bulloides, carbonate ion content of the water column, calcium carbonate content of the sediment surface, and carbonate/carbon weight percentage ratio derived from sediment surface samples were investigated in order to reconstruct the position of the calcite saturation horizon, the sedimentary calcite lysocline, and the calcium carbonate compensation depth (CCD) in the modern South Atlantic Ocean. Carbonate ion data from the water column refer to the GEOSECS locations 48, 103, and 109 and calcium carbonate data come from 19 GeoB sediment surface samples of 4 transects into the Brazil, the Guinea, and the Cape Basins. We present a new (paleo-) oceanographic tool, namely the Globigerina bulloides dissolution index (BDX). Further, we give evidence (a) for progressive G. bulloides ultrastructural breakdown with increasing carbonate dissolution even above the lysocline; (b) for a sharp BDX increase at the sedimentary lysocline; and (c) for the total absence of this species at the CCD. BDX puts us in the position to distinguish the upper open ocean and the upwelling influenced continental margin above from the deep ocean below the sedimentary lysocline. Carbonate ion data from water column samples, calcite weight percentage data from surface sediment samples, and carbonate/carbon weight percentage ratio appear to be good proxies to confirm BDX. As shown by BDX both the calcite saturation horizon (in the water column) and the sedimentary lysocline (at the sediment–water interface) mark the boundary between the carbonate ion undersaturated and highly corrosive Antarctic Bottom Water and the carbonate ion saturated North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) of the modern South Atlantic. 相似文献

Over 300 surface sediment samples from the Central and South Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea were investigated for the preservation state of the aragonitic test of Limacina inflata. Results are displayed in spatial distribution maps and are plotted against cross-sections of vertical water mass configurations, illustrating the relationship between preservation state, saturation state of the overlying waters, and overall water mass distribution. The microscopic investigation of L. inflata (adults) yielded the Limacina dissolution index (LDX), and revealed three regional dissolution patterns. In the western Atlantic Ocean, sedimentary preservation states correspond to saturation states in the overlying waters. Poor preservation is found within intermediate water masses of southern origin (i.e. Antarctic intermediate water (AAIW), upper circumpolar water (UCDW)), which are distinctly aragonite-corrosive, whereas good preservation is observed within the surface waters above and within the upper North Atlantic deep water (UNADW) beneath the AAIW. In the eastern Atlantic Ocean, in particular along the African continental margin, the LDX fails in most cases (i.e. less than 10 tests of L. inflata per sample were found). This is most probably due to extensive “metabolic” aragonite dissolution at the sediment-water interface combined with a reduced abundance of L. inflata in the surface waters. In the Caribbean Sea, a more complex preservation pattern is observed because of the interaction between different water masses, which invade the Caribbean basins through several channels, and varying input of bank-derived fine aragonite and magnesian calcite material. The solubility of aragonite increases with increasing pressure, but aragonite dissolution in the sediments does not simply increase with water depth. Worse preservation is found in intermediate water depths following an S-shaped curve. As a result, two aragonite lysoclines are observed, one above the other. In four depth transects, we show that the western Atlantic and Caribbean LDX records resemble surficial calcium carbonate data and δ13C and carbonate ion concentration profiles in the water column. Moreover, preservation of L. inflata within AAIW and UCDW improves significantly to the north, whereas carbonate corrosiveness diminishes due to increased mixing of AAIW and UNADW. The close relationship between LDX values and aragonite contents in the sediments shows much promise for the quantification of the aragonite loss under the influence of different water masses. LDX failure and uncertainties may be attributed to (1) aragonite dissolution due to bottom water corrosiveness, (2) aragonite dissolution due to additional CO2 release into the bottom water by the degradation of organic matter based on an enhanced supply of organic matter into the sediment, (3) variations in the distribution of L. inflata and hence a lack of supply into the sediment, (4) dilution of the sediments and hence a lack of tests of L. inflata, or (5) redeposition of sediment particles. 相似文献

Large fluctuations occur in the aragonite content of fine silt and clay-sized material sampled by piston cores in Tongue of the Ocean, Bahamas. Electron microscopy reveals that sedimentary sequences with high aragonite content are characterized by abundant aragonite needles. Sedimentary sequences containing small amounts of aragonite but large amounts of low-Mg calcite are dominated by coccoliths. The variation in both mineralogy and grain morphology is interpreted to be related to sea level fluctuations and the consequent presence or absence of sediment contribution (needles) from the adjacent Bahama Banks. These fluctuations are useful chronological indicators in these cores and should be applicable in other areas adjacent to carbonate banks. In particular, the last rise in sea level is clearly marked in all the cores. 相似文献

运用实验模拟的手段,对铀(U)、钍(Th)在碳酸钙-海水界面的附着行为进行了初步研究,通过测定相关的分异系数(D)定量评估了文石和方解石两种碳酸钙矿物对U和Th的捕集作用。实验结果显示,不仅U和Th之间存在显著差异,而且两种碳酸钙矿物之间也存在明显不同。U介于碳酸钙和海水之间的分异系数(DU)分别在1.5~3.5(文石)和0.04~0.19(方解石)区间内变化,分异行为非常微弱但其分异系数随着碳酸钙沉淀速率的增加而逐渐上升。这表明U元素主要是以共沉淀的方式进入到文石或方解石沉淀中,但由于其在海水溶液中主要以2 22 3UO(CO)nn的形式存在,因而只能以占据晶格缺陷的方式进入碳酸钙。与之相反的是,文石和方解石都对Th表现出极强的捕集能力,所测定的分异系数(DTh)分别在240~6 330(文石)和430~6 160(方解石)范围内变化,但DTh与碳酸钙沉淀速率之间无明显关联。Th在碳酸钙表面的附着行为可界定为单纯的吸附作用,这一行为应与Th主要以Th(OH)4的形式赋存于溶液中有关。 相似文献

Cold-water pipe (CWP) is a novel, most-challenging component of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) floating structure which is installed to transport the deep seawater to the board. For commercial scale, the transported seawater flow rate will be in the order of 102 m3/s. This large amount of internal flow may trigger instability which leads to the failure of CWP. Considering this issue, the present paper aims to design commercial-scale OTEC CWP focusing on the effects of internal flow to the stability of the pipe. The design analysis is deliberated to select the pipe material, top joint configuration (fixed, flexible, pinned) and bottom supporting system (with and without clump weight). Initially, the analytical solution is built by taking into account the components of the pipe dynamics. Separately, a fully coupled fluid-structure interaction analysis between the pipe and the ambient fluid is carried out using ANSYS interface. Using scale models, the results obtained from the analytical solution are compared with the ones from numerical analysis to examine the feasibility of the analytical solution. After being verified, the analytical solution is used to observe the dynamic behavior of the CWP for 100 MW-net OTEC power plant in the full-scale model. The results yield conclusions that pinned connection at the top joint is preferable to decrease the applied stress, clump weight installation is necessary to reduce the motion displacement and Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) is the most suitable material among the examined materials. 相似文献

Revisiting ocean thermal energy conversion 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Increasing concerns regarding oil spills, air pollution, and climate change associated with fossil fuel use have increased the urgency of the search for renewable, clean sources of energy. This assessment describes the potential of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) to produce not only clean energy but also potable water, refrigeration, and aquaculture products. Higher oil prices and recent technical advances have improved the economic and technical viability of OTEC, perhaps making this technology more attractive and feasible than in the past. Relatively high capital costs associated with OTEC may require the integration of energy, food, and water production security in small island developing states (SIDSs) to improve cost-effectiveness. Successful implementation of OTEC at scale will require the application of insights and analytical methods from economics, technology, materials engineering, marine ecology, and other disciplines as well as a subsidized demonstration plant to provide operational data at near-commercial scales. 相似文献
