The results of experimental studies of ion exchange properties of Co-bearing ferromanganese crusts in the Magellan Seamounts (Pacific Ocean) are discussed. Maximum reactivity in reactions with the participation of manganese minerals (Fe-vernadite, vernadite) is typical of Na⁺, K⁺, and Ca²⁺ cations, whereas minimum activity is recorded for cations Pb²⁺ and Co²⁺. The exchange complex of ore minerals in crusts is composed of Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, and Mn²⁺ cations. The exchange capacity of manganese minerals increases from the alkali metal cations to rare and heavy metal cations. Peculiarities of the affiliation of Co²⁺, Mn²⁺, and Mg²⁺ cations in manganese minerals of crusts are discussed. In manganese minerals, Co occurs as Co²⁺ and Co³⁺ cations. Metal cations in manganese minerals occur in different chemical forms: sorbed (Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, Mn²⁺, Co²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, and Pb²⁺); sorbed and chemically bound (Mg²⁺, Ni²⁺, Y³⁺, La³⁺, and Mo⁶⁺); and only chemically bound (Co³⁺). It is shown that the age of crust, its preservation time in the air-dry state, and type of host substrate do not affect the ion exchange indicators of manganese minerals. It has been established that alkali metal cations are characterized by completely reversible equivalent sorption, whereas heavy metal cations are sorbed by a complex mechanism: equivalent ion exchange for all metal cations; superequivalent, partly reversible sorption for Ba²⁺, Pb²⁺, Co²⁺, and Cu²⁺ cations, relative to exchange cations of manganese minerals. The obtained results refine the role of ion exchange processes during the hydrogenic formation of Co-bearing ferromanganese crusts.  相似文献   

Transformations of ore minerals in genetically different oceanic ferromanganese rocks     

G. V. Novikov  O. Yu. Bogdanova 《Lithology and Mineral Resources》2007,42(4):303-317

Results of thermic transformations of ore minerals from genetically different oceanic ferromanganese rocks in the course of their heating up to 1000°C are considered. Manganese minerals with various types of crystalline lattice have different grades of thermic stability. Layered manganese minerals (buserite I, asbolane-buserite, and birnessite) are stable up to 120–150°C; asbolane up to 180°C, vernadite, up to ～500°C; todorokite and pyrolusite (minerals of the tunnel group), up to 600 and 670°C, respectively. Sorbed cations of heavy metals govern the transformation temperature and mineral composition of products of the calcination of ferromanganese rocks. Study of birnessite and todorokite demonstrated that genesis of ferromanganese rocks do not affect thermic properties of minerals in them.  相似文献   

Ion exchange properties of oceanic ferromanganese nodules and enclosing pelagic sediments     

G. V. Novikov  I. O. Murdmaa 《Lithology and Mineral Resources》2007,42(2):137-167

Results of the experimental study of ion exchange properties of deep-sea pelagic sediments and related ferromanganese nodules (FMN) are considered. The exchange complex of sediments and nodules includes Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, and Mg²⁺ cations. The FMNs also include Mn²⁺ cations. Series of reactivity of metal cations during exchange reactions in different types of pelagic clayey sediments and diagenetic-sedimentary FMN are compiled. Series of exchange capacity of the sediments and FMN for alkali and heavy metal cations are also presented. The exchange capacity of FMN is always higher than that of enclosing sediments. Sediments are characterized by reversible equivalent sorption of cations of both alkali and heavy metals. Irrespective of the mineral composition, the FMNs are characterized by the reversible equivalent sorption of alkali metal cations, whereas sorption of heavy metal cations is only partly reversible. More over, alkali metal cations do not replace heavy metal cations. The results obtained refine the role of ion exchange processes in the redistribution of heavy metal cations at the water-bottom sediment interface during the diagenetic-sedimentary formation of ferromanganese nodules.  相似文献   

Metal cation exchange reactions of ore minerals in Fe–Mn crusts of the Marcus Wake Rise (Pacific Ocean) in aqueous–salt solutions     

G. V. Novikov  O. Yu. Bogdanova  M. E. Melnikov  A. N. Drozdova  N. V. Lobus  N. A. Shulga 《Doklady Earth Sciences》2017,477(2):1414-1418

It is shown that the reaction ability of metal cations of ore minerals in Fe–Mn crusts of the Marcus Wake Rise increases in the following manner: (Co²⁺ < Cu²⁺ < Ni²⁺) < (Mg²⁺ < Mn²⁺ < K⁺ ≈ Ca²⁺ ≈ Na⁺). The composition of the exchange complex of the ore minerals is constant and includes these metal cations. Ca²⁺ and Na⁺ are major contributors to the exchange capacity of the ore minerals. The capacity of the ore minerals by cations of alkali and base metals is 0.43–0.60 and 2.08–2.70 mg-equiv/g, respectively. The exchange capacity of the ore minerals by cations of base metals increases linearly with the increase in the MnO₂ content of the crust and does not depend on the geographical locations of the Marcus Wake guyots.  相似文献   

Modelling Zn(II) sorption onto clayey sediments using a multi-site ion-exchange model     

E. Tertre  C. Beaucaire  N. Coreau  A. Juery 《Applied Geochemistry》2009

In environmental studies, it is necessary to be able to predict the behaviour of contaminants in more or less complex physico-chemical contexts. The improvement of this prediction partly depends on establishing thermodynamic models that can describe the behaviour of these contaminants and, in particular, the sorption reactions on mineral surfaces. In this way, based on the mass action law, it is possible to use surface complexation models and ion exchange models. Therefore, the aim of this study is (i) to develop an ion-exchange model able to describe the sorption of transition metal onto pure clay minerals and (ii) to test the ability of this approach to predict the sorption of these elements onto natural materials containing clay minerals (i.e. soils/sediments) under various chemical conditions. This study is focused on the behaviour of Zn(II) in the presence of clayey sediments. Considering that clay minerals are cation exchangers containing multiple sorption sites, it is possible to interpret the sorption of Zn(II), as well as competitor cations, by ion-exchange equilibria with the clay minerals. This approach is applied with success to interpret the experimental data obtained previously in the Zn(II)–H⁺–Na⁺–montmorillonite system. The authors’ research team has already studied the behaviour of Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ versus pH in terms of ion exchange onto pure montmorillonite, leading to the development of a thermodynamic database including the exchange site concentrations associated with montmorillonite and the selectivity coefficients of Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, and Zn²⁺ versus H⁺.  相似文献   

Sorption of heavy metal cations by low-temperature deposits of Pacific hydrothermal fields     

G. V. Novikov  I. V. Vikent’ev  O. Yu. Bogdanova 《Geology of Ore Deposits》2006,48(4):304-325

Cation exchange reactions with participation of heavy metals Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Ba, and Pb were studed in oceanic low-temperature hydrothermal deposits of various mineral compositions and in hydrogenic Fe-Mn crusts. Individual minerals and their assemblages differ significantly in absorptive capacity, which increases in the following order: hematite ? Si-protoferrihydrite < protoferrihydrite < geothite < nontronite ? Fe-vernadite + Mn-feroxyhyte < Fe-free vernadite < bernessite + Fe-free vernadite < bernessite; i.e., it successively increases from the mineral with a coordination type of lattice to minerals with a layer-type structure. The exchange complex of all minerals includes Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, and Mg²⁺, i.e., the main cations of seawater. In Mn minerals, Mn²⁺ is the main exchange component. The contribution of all the mentioned cations to the exchange capacity of minerals is as high as 90–98%. The highest absorptive capacity among the examined low-temperature oceanic deposits is characteristic of hydrothermal Mn minerals. Their capacity exceeds substantially that of hydrothermal oxides, hydroxides, Fe-aluminosilicates, and hydrogenic Fe-Mn minerals. The absorptive capacity of all examined Mn minerals relative to heavy metals increases in the same order: Ni < Zn < Cd < Mn < Co < Pb < Cu.  相似文献   

The uptake of cobalt into ferromanganese nodules,soils, and synthetic manganese (IV) oxides     

Roger G Burns 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1976,40(1):95-102

Strong enrichments of cobalt occur in marine manganese nodules, soils, wads, and natural and synthetic minerals such as hollandite, cryptomelane, psilomelane, lithiophorite, birnessite, and δ-MnO₂. Previously, it was suggested that Co³⁺ ions in these minerals replace either Mn³⁺ or substitute for Fe³⁺ in incipient goethite epitaxially intergrown with δ-MnO₂. Neither of these interpretations is now considered to be satisfactory on account of the large discrepancy of ionic radius between octahedrally coordinated low-spin Co³⁺ and high-spin Mn³⁺ or Fe³⁺ in oxide structures. The close agreement between the ionic radii of Co³⁺ and Mn⁴⁺ suggests that some cobalt substitutes for Mn⁴⁺ ions in edge-shared [MnO₆] octahedra in many manganese(IV) oxide mineral structures. It is proposed that hydrated cations, including Co²⁺ ions, are initially adsorbed on to the surfaces of certain Mn(IV) oxides in the vicinity of essential vacancies found in the chains or sheets of edge-shared [MnO₆] octahedra. Subsequently, fixation of cobalt takes place as a result of oxidation of adsorbed Co²⁺ ions by Mn⁴⁺ and replacement of the displaced manganese by low-spin Co³⁺ ions in the [MnO₆] octahedra or vacancies.  相似文献

Importance of different types of marine particles for the scavenging of heavy metals in the deep-sea bottom water     

《Applied Geochemistry》2003,18(5):693-710

In experiments of 7 days duration using voltammetric and radiotracer measurement techniques, the role of different particle types in the sorption of dissolved metal species in a disturbed deep-sea bottom seawater system were investigated. Resuspension of oxic to suboxic surface sediment into the bottom water in the deep sea (either by natural events or industrial activities like Mn nodule mining) has been shown to be followed quickly by scavenging of dissolved heavy metals, e.g. released from interstitial water, on the resuspended particles. Compared to other deep-sea particles (like clay minerals, calcite and apatite), Mn and Fe oxides and oxyhydroxides were found to be by far the most important phases in scavenging many dissolved heavy metals. Only Pb was sorbed strongly on all particles used, with highest affinity to carbonate fluorapatite. Caesium⁺ was significantly scavenged only by clay minerals like illite. The sorption experiments support a simple electrostatic model: Hydrated cations and labile cationic chloro-complexes in seawater like Mn²⁺, MnCl⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Ba²⁺, and PbCl⁺, are preferentially adsorbed or ion-exchanged on the negatively charged surfaces of Mn oxides. In contrast, oxyanions and neutrally or negatively charged complexes like HVO₄²⁻, MoO₄²⁻, HAsO₄²⁻, UO₂(CO₃)₂²⁻, and PbCO₃⁰ associate with neutral to slightly positive amphoteric Fe oxyhydroxide particles. Metals forming strong chloro-complexes in seawater like Cd (CdCl₂⁰), are less readily sorbed by oxides than others. A comparison of the results of voltammetric and radiotracer techniques revealed that after fast sorption within the first hour, isotopic exchange dominated reactions on MnO₂-rich particles in the following days. This was especially pronounced for Mn and Co which are bound to the Mn oxide surface via a redox transformation.  相似文献   

Surface complexation model for strontium sorption to amorphous silica and goethite     

Susan A Carroll  Sarah K Roberts  Louise J Criscenti  Peggy A O'Day 《Geochemical transactions》2008,9(1):2

Strontium sorption to amorphous silica and goethite was measured as a function of pH and dissolved strontium and carbonate concentrations at 25°C. Strontium sorption gradually increases from 0 to 100% from pH 6 to 10 for both phases and requires multiple outer-sphere surface complexes to fit the data. All data are modeled using the triple layer model and the site-occupancy standard state; unless stated otherwise all strontium complexes are mononuclear. Strontium sorption to amorphous silica in the presence and absence of dissolved carbonate can be fit with tetradentate Sr²⁺ and SrOH⁺ complexes on the β-plane and a monodentate Sr²⁺complex on the diffuse plane to account for strontium sorption at low ionic strength. Strontium sorption to goethite in the absence of dissolved carbonate can be fit with monodentate and tetradentate SrOH⁺ complexes and a tetradentate binuclear Sr²⁺ species on the β-plane. The binuclear complex is needed to account for enhanced sorption at hgh strontium surface loadings. In the presence of dissolved carbonate additional monodentate Sr²⁺ and SrOH⁺ carbonate surface complexes on the β-plane are needed to fit strontium sorption to goethite. Modeling strontium sorption as outer-sphere complexes is consistent with quantitative analysis of extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) on selected sorption samples that show a single first shell of oxygen atoms around strontium indicating hydrated surface complexes at the amorphous silica and goethite surfaces.  相似文献   

Water–Rock Interactions: An Investigation of the Relationships Between Mineralogy and Groundwater Composition and Flow in a Subtropical Basalt Aquifer     

Katrina L. Locsey  Micaela Grigorescu  Malcolm E. Cox 《Aquatic Geochemistry》2012,18(1):45-75

A holistic study of the composition of the basalt groundwaters of the Atherton Tablelands region in Queensland, Australia was undertaken to elucidate possible mechanisms for the evolution of these very low salinity, silica- and bicarbonate-rich groundwaters. It is proposed that aluminosilicate mineral weathering is the major contributing process to the overall composition of the basalt groundwaters. The groundwaters approach equilibrium with respect to the primary minerals with increasing pH and are mostly in equilibrium with the major secondary minerals (kaolinite and smectite), and other secondary phases such as goethite, hematite, and gibbsite, which are common accessory minerals in the Atherton basalts. The mineralogy of the basalt rocks, which has been examined using X-ray diffraction and whole rock geochemistry methods, supports the proposed model for the hydrogeochemical evolution of these groundwaters: precipitation + CO₂ (atmospheric + soil) + pyroxene + feldspars + olivine yields H₄SiO₄, HCO₃ ⁻, Mg²⁺, Na⁺, Ca²⁺ + kaolinite and smectite clays + amorphous or crystalline silica + accessory minerals (hematite, goethite, gibbsite, carbonates, zeolites, and pyrite). The variations in the mineralogical content of these basalts also provide insights into the controls on groundwater storage and movement in this aquifer system. The fresh and weathered vesicular basalts are considered to be important in terms of zones of groundwater occurrence, while the fractures in the massive basalt are important pathways for groundwater movement.  相似文献   

Oxidation of As^Ⅲ by Several Manganese Oxide Minerals in Absence and Presence of Goethite     

FENG Xionghan TAN Wenfeng LIU Fan Huada Daniel RUAN HE Jizheng 《《地质学报》英文版》2006,80(2):249-256

Oxidation of As^Ⅲ by three types of manganese oxide minerals affected by goethite was investigated by chemical analysis, equilibrium redox, X-ray diffraction （XRD） and transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. Three synthesized Mn oxide minerals of different types, birnessite, todorokite, and hausmannite, could actively oxidize As^Ⅲ to Asv, and greatly varied in their oxidation ability. Layer structured birnessite exhibited the highest capacity of As^Ⅲ oxidation, followed by the tunnel structured todorokite. Lower oxide hansmannite possessed much low capacity of As^Ⅲ oxidation, and released more Mn^2＋ than birnessite and todorokite during the oxidation. The maximum amount of Asv produced during the oxidation of As^Ⅲ by Mn oxide minerals was in the order： birnessite （480.4 mmol/kg） 〉 todorokite （279.6 mmol/kg） 〉 hansmannite （117.9 mmol/kg）. The oxidation capacity of the Mn oxide minerals was found to be relative to the composition, crystallinity, and surface properties. In the presence of goethite oxidation of As^Ⅲ by Mn oxide minerals increased, with maximum amounts of Asv being 651.0 mmol/kg for birnessite, 332.3 mmol/kg for todorokite and 159.4 mmol/kg for hansmannite. Goethite promoted As^Ⅲ oxidation on the surface of Mn oxide minerals through adsorption of the Asv produced, incurring the decrease of Asv concentration in solutions. Thus, the combined effects of the oxidation （by Mn oxide minerals）-adsorption （by goethite） lead to rapid oxidation and immobilization of As in soils and sediments and alleviation of the As^Ⅲ toxicity in the environments.  相似文献   

Trace metal–humate interactions. I. Experimental determination of conditional stability constants     

《Applied Geochemistry》2000,15(7):953-973

The enhancement of mobility of radionuclides in the geosphere through complexation by humic substances is a source of uncertainty in performance assessment of radioactive waste repositories. Only very few data sets are available which are relevant for performance assessment of an underground repository for radioactive waste. Using the equilibrium dialysis-ligand exchange method developed at the Paul Scherrer Institut, conditional stability constants for the formation of complexes of Aldrich humic acid with Ca²⁺, NpO₂⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, UO₂²⁺ and Eu³⁺ and complexes of Laurentian soil- and Suwannee River fulvic acid with Co²⁺, UO₂²⁺ and Eu³⁺ were measured. pH was varied between 5 and 10 and ionic strength between 0.02 and 0.2 M. The data are presented as equilibrium coefficients that are free from any model assumptions. The equilibrium coefficients increased in the order Ca²⁺≅NpO₂⁺<Co²⁺< Ni²⁺<UO₂²⁺< Eu³⁺. The quality of the data is assessed in an extended discussion of statistical and systematical errors, and by a critical ‘rereview’ of the auxiliary stability constants used for the calculation of the equilibrium coefficients. An approximate overall uncertainty of 0.5 log-units is estimated for the stability data reported. The conditional stability constants were found to increase markedly with increasing pH in the case of Co²⁺, UO₂²⁺ and Eu³⁺. For Ni²⁺, Ca²⁺ and NpO₂⁺ this effect was less pronounced. For all metal ions tested, the influence of ionic strength was of less importance, and the conditional stability constants did not show a significant dependence on the type of humic substances investigated.  相似文献   

Multicomponent diffusion of a suite of tracers (HTO, Cl, Br, I, Na, Sr, Cs) in a single sample of Opalinus Clay   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

C.A.J. Appelo  L.R. Van Loon 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2010,74(4):1201-57

Diffusion experiments with HTO, ³⁶Cl⁻, Br⁻, I⁻, ²²Na⁺, ⁸⁵Sr²⁺ and ¹³⁴Cs⁺ at trace concentrations in a single sample of Opalinus Clay are modeled with PHREEQC’s multicomponent diffusion module. The model is used first in a classical approach to derive accessible porosities, geometrical factors (the ratio of pore tortuosity and constrictivity) and sorption behavior of the individual tracers assuming that the clay is homogeneous. The accessible porosity for neutral species and cations is obtained from HTO, the anion exclusion volume from ³⁶Cl⁻ and Br⁻, and the cation exchange capacity from ²²Na⁺. The homogeneous model works well for tritium, the anions and ²²Na⁺. However, the ⁸⁵Sr²⁺ and ¹³⁴Cs⁺ experiments show an early arrival of the tracer and a front-form that suggest a dual porosity structure. A model with 10% dead-end pores, containing 19% of the total exchange capacity, can satisfactorily calculate all the experimental data. The Cs⁺ diffusion model builds on a 3-site exchange model, constructed from batch sorption data. The excellent agreement of modeled and measured data contradicts earlier reports that the exchange capacity for Cs⁺ would be smaller in diffusion than in batch experiments.The geometrical factors for the anions are 1.5 times larger than for HTO, and for the cations 2-4 times smaller than for HTO. The different behavior is explained by a tripartite division of the porespace in free porewater, diffuse double layer (DDL) water, and interlayer water in montmorillonite. Differences between estimated and observed geometrical factors for cations are attributed to increased ion-pairing of the divalent cations in DDL water as a result of the low relative dielectric permittivity. Interlayer and/or surface diffusion contributes significantly to the diffusive flux of Cs⁺ but is negligible for the other solutes. The geometrical factors for anions are higher than estimated, because pore constrictions with overlapping double layers force the anions to take longer routes than HTO and the cations. Small differences among the anions can also be attributed to different ion-pairing in DDL water.  相似文献   

Sorption of Cs to micaceous subsurface sediments from the Hanford site, USA   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

John M Zachara  Steven C SmithChongxuan Liu  James P McKinleyR.Jeffrey Serne  Paul L Gassman 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2002,66(2):193-211

The sorption of Cs⁺ was investigated over a large concentration range (10⁻⁹−10⁻² mol/L) on subsurface sediments from a United States nuclear materials site (Hanford) where high-level nuclear wastes (HLW) have been accidentally released to the vadose zone. The sediment sorbs large amounts of radiocesium, but expedited migration has been observed when HLW (a NaNO₃ brine) is the carrier. Cs⁺ sorption was measured on homoionic sediments (Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺) with electrolyte concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 1.0 mol/L. In Na⁺ electrolyte, concentrations were extended to near saturation with NaNO_3(s) (7.0 mol/L). The sediment contained nonexpansible (biotite, muscovite) and expansible (vermiculite, smectite) phyllosilicates. The sorption data were interpreted according to the frayed edge-planar site conceptual model. A four-parameter, two-site (high- and low-affinity) numeric ion exchange model was effective in describing the sorption data. The high-affinity sites were ascribed to wedge zones on the micas where particle edges have partially expanded due to the removal of interlayer cations during weathering, and the low-affinity ones to planar sites on the expansible clays. The electrolyte cations competed with Cs⁺ for both high- and low-affinity sites according to the trend K⁺ >> Na⁺ ≥ Ca²⁺. At high salt concentration, Cs⁺ adsorption occurred only on high-affinity sites. Na⁺ was an effective competitor for the high-affinity sites at high salt concentrations. In select experiments, silver-thiourea (AgTU) was used as a blocking agent to further isolate and characterize the high-affinity sites, but the method was found to be problematic. Mica particles were handpicked from the sediment, contacted with Cs⁺_(aq), and analyzed by electron microprobe to identify phases and features important to Cs⁺ sorption. The microprobe study implied that biotite was the primary contributor of high-affinity sites because of its weathered periphery. The poly-phase sediment exhibited close similarity in ion selectivity to illite, which has been well studied, although its proportion of high-affinity sites relative to the cation exchange capacity (CEC) was lower than that of illite. Important insights are provided on how Na⁺ in HLW and indigenous K⁺ displaced from the sediments may act to expedite the migration of strongly sorbing Cs⁺ in subsurface environments.  相似文献   

Modeling of Cs+ diffusion and retention in the DI-A2 experiment (Mont Terri). Uncertainties in sorption and diffusion parameters     

《Applied Geochemistry》2013

In the DI-A2 experiment several non-reactive and reactive tracers were injected as a pulse in a packed-off borehole in the Opalinus Clay. Unlike the previous DI-A1 test, the design of the Teflon filter in the injection borehole forced the water to flow through the filter and the open space between the filter and the borehole wall (the filter itself did not act as a diffusion barrier between the circulating solution and the rock). The decrease in tracer concentration in the liquid phase was monitored during a period of a year. Afterwards, the borehole section was overcored and the tracer profiles in the rock were analyzed. A main interest of this experiment was to understand the chemical behavior of sorbing tracers: Cs⁺ (stable), ⁸⁵Sr²⁺, ⁶⁰Co²⁺ and Eu³⁺ (stable). The complete dataset (except for Eu³⁺ because of strong sorption to experimental equipment) was analyzed in a previous study with a 2D diffusion–reaction model and the derived diffusion and sorption parameters were compared with laboratory data. As in DI-A1, a difference by a factor of about 2 for sorption (magnitude of the Freundlich isotherm) was obtained between in situ and laboratory batch sorption experiments.Recent experimental and modeling studies have shown equivalent Cs⁺ sorption on intact and disaggregated Opalinus Clay samples. In view of these developments, new modeling of Cs⁺ diffusion and retention in the DI-A2 experiment has been performed using CrunchFlow. The calculations include transport by diffusion and a multisite cation exchange model to account for the retention of Cs⁺. The new results show that upscaling of Cs⁺ sorption from laboratory to field is no longer required. However, a difference in sorption by a factor of about 2 is still explained by the use of different versions of the same cation exchange model (a small difference in the selectivity coefficient for one type of site). This uncertainty in sorption leads to an uncertainty in the effective diffusion coefficient (D_e) for Cs⁺, also by a factor of 2 (2–4 × 10⁻¹⁰ m²/s). Clearly, the values of D_e obtained are correlated with the strength of sorption in the model, with stronger sorption leading to larger D_e values. Discrimination between the two versions of the exchange model is not possible when using only the results of the in situ test. Additionally, during early times (t < 10 days) the drop in Cs⁺ concentration in the circulation system is slower than expected. Due to the experimental setup, this slow decrease in concentration cannot be caused by the filter in the contact between borehole and rock. Poor mixing in the circulation system could explain this effect.  相似文献   

Composition and characteristics of the ferromanganese crusts from the western Arctic Ocean     

《Ore Geology Reviews》2017

Layered ferromanganese crusts collected by dredge from a water depth range of 2770 to 2200 m on Mendeleev Ridge, Arctic Ocean, were analyzed for mineralogical and chemical compositions and dated using the excess ²³⁰Th technique. Comparison with crusts from other oceans reveals that Fe-Mn deposits of Mendeleev Ridge have the highest Fe/Mn ratios, are depleted in Mn, Co, and Ni, and enriched in Si and Al as well as some minor elements, Li, Th, Sc, As and V. However, the upper layer of the crusts shows Mn, Co, and Ni contents comparable to crusts from the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Growth rates vary from 3.03 to 3.97 mm/Myr measured on the uppermost 2 mm. Mn and Fe oxyhydroxides (vernadite, ferroxyhyte, birnessite, todorokite and goethite) and nonmetalliferous detrital minerals characterize the Arctic crusts. Temporal changes in crust composition reflect changes in the depositional environment. Crust formation was dominated by three main processes: precipitation of Fe-Mn oxyhydroxides from ambient ocean water, sorption of metals by those Fe and Mn phases, and fluctuating but large inputs of terrigenous debris.  相似文献

Because of their physicochemical properties, biochars can be used as sorption materials for removal of toxic substances. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether biochar obtained from cones of larch (Larix decidua Mill. subsp. decidua) and spruce (Picea abies L. H. Karst) could be used as a sorbent for Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺ and Co²⁺ in aqueous solutions. So far, this feedstock had not been tested in this respect. The material was subjected to pyrolysis at 500 and 600 °C for the duration of 5, 10 and 15 min. The obtained pyrolysates were found to differ in terms of pH and the contents of the essential macroelements. The different values of these parameters were determined for varying temperature, duration of the pyrolysis process and type of feedstock. Sorption capacities of the biochars for removal of Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺ and Co²⁺ were examined using simulated contamination of aqueous solutions with salts of these metals. The findings showed the highest, nearly complete, removal for Pb²⁺ were maximum 99.7%, and almost three times lower value for Cd²⁺ and Co²⁺ (respectively, 35.7 and 24.8%). It was demonstrated that pyrolysis of conifer cones produced optimum sorption capacities when the process was conducted at a temperature of 500 °C for the duration of 5 min. It was shown that products of spruce cone pyrolysis were characterized by better sorption capacity in comparison with products of larch cone pyrolysis. The properties of conifer cone biochar create the possibility of using it as an adsorbent in water and wastewater treatment as well as in production of filters and activated carbon.  相似文献   

Thermodynamics of arsenates,selenites, and sulfates in the oxidation zone of sulfide ores: I. Thermodynamic constants at ambient conditions     

M. V. Charykova  V. G. Krivovichev  W. Depmeir 《Geology of Ore Deposits》2010,52(8):689-700

Understanding and deciphering processes proceeding near the surface are among the urgent tasks of contemporary mineralogy and geochemistry, which are especially important for resolving ecological challenges and developing principles of rational environmental management. The paper presents systematized data published on thermodynamics of minerals (arsenates, sulfates, selenites, and selenates), which are formed in the weathering zone of sulfide ores, and determines approaches to quantitative physicochemical modeling of their formation conditions. Diagrams of phase and chemical equilibria (Eh-pH, diagrams of solubility) of the subsystems of the model system Fe-Cu-Zn-Pb-Co-Ni-As-Se-S-H₂O (Fe²⁺, Fe³⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Pb²⁺, Ni²⁺, Co²⁺, H⁺//SeO₃²⁻, SeO₄²⁻, AsO₄³⁻, SO₄²⁻, OH⁻-H₂O) are used as a thermodynamic basis for modeling mineral-forming processes in the weathering zone of ore deposits. Seventy-two arsenates, about 70 sulfates, and 7 selenites and selenates have been identified in the framework of this system. The available published values of standard thermodynamic functions of the formation of minerals and chemical compounds are given, as well as the Pitzer equation parameters to describe the sulfate systems, which are substantially specific due to the high solubility of their components.  相似文献   

Experimental sorption of Ni, Cs and Ln onto a montmorillonite up to 150°C     

Emmanuel Tertre  Gilles Berger  Michel Loubet 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2005,69(21):4937-4948

The effect of temperature on the sorption of cations onto a dioctahedral smectite was investigated by running batch experiments at 25, 40, 80 and 150°C. We measured the distribution coefficient (Kd) of Cs⁺, Ni²⁺ and 14 lanthanides (Ln³⁺) between solutions and the montmorillonite fraction of the MX80 bentonite at various pH and ionic strengths. Up to 80°C we used a conventional experimental protocol derived from Coppin et al. (2002). At 150°C, the experiments were conducted in a PTFE reactor equipped with an internal filter allowing the sampling of clear aliquots of solution.The results show a weak but measurable influence of the temperature on the elements sorption. Kd’s for Ni²⁺ and Ln³⁺ increase by a factor 2 to 5 whereas temperature raises from 25 to 150°C. This effect seems higher at high ionic strength. The estimated apparent endothermic sorption enthalpies are 33 ± 10 kJ.mol⁻¹ and 39 ± 15 kJ.mol⁻¹ for Ni²⁺ and Eu³⁺, respectively. On the other hand, the temperature effect on Cs⁺ sorption is only evidenced at low ionic strength and under neutral conditions where the Kd decreases by a factor 3 between 25 and 150°C. Apparent exothermic sorption enthalpy for Cs⁺ on the montmorillonite is −19 ± 5 kJ.mol⁻¹.Experiments conducted at the four temperatures with the coexistence of all of the cations in the reacting solution (100 ppb of each element in the starting solution) or only one of them, produced similar values of Kd. This suggests the absence of competition between the sorbed cations, and consequently a low degree of saturation of the available sites. A fractionation of the lanthanides spectrum is also observed at high pH and high ionic strength whatever the temperature.The conclusion of this study is that the temperature dependence on sorption reflects, as the fractionation of REE or the pH and ionic strength effects, the chemical process which controls the overall reaction. In the case of an exchange dominated reaction (low pH and low ionic strength), the temperature effect is negligible. In the case of surface complexation (high pH and high ionic strength), the observed increase of Kd with temperature reflects either an increase of the sorption equilibrium constant with temperature or an endothermic property for reactions describing the montmorillonite surface chemistry.  相似文献
