Cores of soft lake sediments 总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5
Short cores of soft sediment, used in studying the pollution history of lakes, can be obtained with a plastic tube fitted with a piston and piston wire. If the sediments of deep water are annually laminated (and thus difficult to sample without disturbance) or contain excess gas (which can disrupt the stratigraphy during its escape), a short 'core' can be acquired by producing a frozen crust on a tube filled with dry ice and butanol.
A continuous core of soft lake sediment at least 7 m long can be obtained in a single drive beneath deep water with a hand-driven piston corer. Such a core assures the complete continuity necessary for counting annual laminations or for making close-interval analyses without fear of gaps, and it provides the uniform orientation required for measurements of paleomagnetic directions. 相似文献

SVEN BLOMQVIST 《Sedimentology》1985,32(4):605-612
The performances of four light-weight, open sampling devices intended for use in soft sediments, the Axelsson-Håkanson gravity corer, the Kajak gravity corer, the Jenkin bottom sampler and the Ekman grab (box corer), were examined in situ by direct observation, measurement and photographic documentation by a SCUBA diver. Restrictions on the reliability of the sediment samples obtained with these devices and sediment coring instruments in general are evaluated. Separate studies of core shortening show: (1) a positive linear relationship between sediment penetration depth at which shortening of cores starts and coring tube inner diameter, (2) a tube size related shift of curve pattern in the regressions of the core shortening versus sediment depth, and (3) a negative non-linear relationship of shortening intensity versus increasing coring tube inner diameter. These findings show the great risk, when sampling soft sediments, of obtaining a sample quantitatively unrepresentative of the in situ stratification. An accurate correction factor for the degree of core shortening requires a knowledge of: (1) the sediment depth at which core shortening commences, and (2) the curve describing the relationship of shortening to depth of penetration. 相似文献

江苏王港潮间带柱状样的压缩和校正 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
潮滩盐沼是海岸系统的重要组成部分,是海岸带陆海相互作用研究的重点对象之一。研究潮滩沉积环境和沉积过程的传统的、主要的手段是采集柱状样;在潮间带采集柱状样一般采用重力采样法,在采集过程中会产生管内压缩和管下压缩。在江苏中部王港地区的潮间带,利用重力方法取得9个柱状样,在现场采样时记录了采样管内外深度,在室内对采集的样品利用激光粒度仪进行粒度分析。根据野外记录和室内分析结果,管内压缩和管下压缩均为线性过程;管内压缩率与沉积物含水量及沉积物分选性有关,含水量越高,压缩率越大,沉积物分选越差,压缩率越大。管下压缩量是管内压缩量的11%,随着管内压缩率的增大,管下压缩量也增大,管下压缩所起的作用就越显著。 相似文献

Thallium diagenesis in lacustrine sediments 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Dated sediment cores and porewaters from two Canadian Shield lakes, located 40 km from Québec City (L. Tantaré) and 25 km downwind from an important smelter in northwestern Québec (L. Vose), were analyzed for thallium and other geochemical variables. Atmospheric deposition is the only source of anthropogenic Tl to these lakes. The porewater Tl concentration profiles in L. Tantaré display a peak below the sediment-water interface that suggests post-depositional Tl remobilization and transport to the overlying water and deeper sediments; such a dissolved Tl peak occurs just above the sediment-water interface in L. Vose. Modeling the porewater Tl profiles with a diagenetic reaction-transport equation reveals a zone of dissolved Tl production lying above a zone of Tl consumption in L. Tantaré sediments. In contrast, in L. Vose, Tl diffuses across the sediment-water interface from the anoxic hypolimnion and is fixed to the surficial sediments. The localization of the consumption zones, the shape of the dissolved Tl, sulfide and iron profiles, as well as calculations of saturation states are all consistent with the removal of Tl from porewater by co-precipitation with and/or adsorption to Fe sulfides. The concentrations of Tl removed from or added to sediments after their deposition (i.e., diagenetic Tl) amount to up to 36% of measured sediment Tl concentrations. Comparison of the reconstructed historical Tl records with those of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and of Pb originating from coal burning or from smelting activities indicate that coal combustion is the major source of atmospheric Tl to L. Tantaré and that an additional important Tl source to L. Vose is the nearby smelter. 相似文献

Industrialization coupled with urbanizaton has led to stress in the Buckingham Canal which runs parallel to Bay of Bengal at a distance of around 1 km from the coastline. 4 sediment cores were collected along Ennore — Pulicat stretch to determine acid leachable trace metal concentration. Core samples were collected using gravity corer. The cores were sliced horizontally at 2.5 cm to determine the grain size, sediment composition, pH, organic matter, calcium carbonate, acid leachable trace metals; cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, zinc. The trace metals were extracted using acid mixture containing hydro fluoric acid, nitric acid and sulphuric acid and analysed by atomic emission spectrophotometer. In an attempt to infer anthropogenic input from geogenic input, several approaches including comparison with sediment quality guidelines — ecotoxicological sense of heavy metal contamination and classification by quantitative indexes such as geoaccumalation index, anthropogenic factor, enrichment factor, contamination factor and degree and pollution load index was attempted. Grain size analysis and sediment composition of core samples shows Ennore is sandy in nature having a neutral pH. Organic matter enrichment is observed to a higher extent in core 3. Core 2 at a depth of 5 cm shows organic matter of 9.4 %. calcium carbonate is totally absent at the surface sediments in core 2. Cores collected within the canal showed a higher heavy metal concentration than the cores collected from Pulicat lagoon and 2 km into the Ennore Sea. The trace metal concentration for cadmium, lead and zinc in Ennore does not pose a threat to the sediment dwelling fauna whereas chromium and copper are likely to pose a threat. Quantitative indexes place Ennore under moderately polluted. Ennore is likely to face a serious threat of metal pollution with the present deposition rates unless stringent pollution control norms are adopted. 相似文献

近期长江口-杭州湾邻近海域沉积物粒径的时空变化及其影响因素 总被引：3，自引：1，他引：2
为了研究长江口-杭州湾外近海沉积物粒径的现状和近期变化,于2008年4月在该区域用箱式取样器取得了33个表层样,用震动活塞采样器取得7个柱状样;在室内用激光粒度仪对沉积物样品进行了粒度分析并与历史时期的研究成果进行对比。结果表明,1）表层沉积物总体上呈东粗（砂）西细（泥）的特点,粒径总体上的空间格局与历史时期相似;但砂-泥区界线在研究区北部（长江口和杭州湾外）有向西迁移（蚀退）迹象（西移10~30 km）,而在南部（舟山群岛以南）则出现明显向东迁移（淤进）现象（最大超过50 km）。2）当前的表层沉积物形成一条南北连续的泥质带（粒径向南逐渐变细）,反映过去存在于舟山群岛以东的最细组分（“黏土”）带不连续现象在表层现已趋于消失。3）表层沉积物粒径趋势分析揭示长江入海泥沙的运移方向主要是向南-东南。4）泥质区柱状沉积物具有粉砂和黏土为主但在垂向上（反映在时间上）有粗细多变的特点（侵蚀区表层沉积物有粗化迹象）。研究认为,长江口-杭州湾邻近海域现代沉积物对流域和沿海重大人类活动有较敏感的响应。 相似文献

Five sediment cores from the fresh water region of the Vembanad wetland system were studied for the trace element contents The average concentration of iron, manganese, nickel, copper, zinc, cadmium, lead, mercury and chromium were determined. The core samples were collected using gravity type corer, digested with a mixture of nitric acid and perchloric acid and analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Heavy metals such as iron, copper, nickel and zinc reported enrichment towards the surface of the core sediment sample collected from the centre of the lake. Lead, cadmium and mercury showed uniform distribution through out the core. Quality of the sediments were evaluated based on sediment quality guidelines, pollution load index, sum of toxic units and with effect range low/effect range median and threshold effect level/probable effect level values of Environmental Protection Agency guidelines. The degree of contamination for each station was determined. The concentration of different heavy metals has been compared with the world average concentration of shale values. Results of the analysis showed that Vembanad lake is facing serious metal pollution with increased rate of deposition. 相似文献

澄合矿区位于渭北煤田中部,地质勘查时,发现从钻孔中较难采取到柱状或块状的煤心煤样,煤样疏松,多成为碎块状,甚至粉末状。基于地质构造、地层岩性和煤层特征的研究,认为该区煤心煤样破碎的主要原因一方面是由于在成煤过程中煤中的镜质组物质在煤化过程中受到温度、压力的影响,内生裂隙发育所致,另一方面是成煤后期地质构造的改造和破坏作用形成的,钻进时采用的钻压、转速、泵压和取煤器是次要因素。煤心煤样的破碎可从可磨性试验和邻近的煤矿井下采煤中得到佐证。建议以后在该区的勘查时采用单动双管取煤器。 相似文献

High resolution seismic data, multichannel seismic data and sediment cores were used to examine the Songwe Sequence, the uppermost of four depositional sequences identifiable on multichannel seismic data from Lake Malawi (Nyasa). The sequence has a maximum thickness of about 115 m in two areas of the lake, but is typically less than 70 m thick over most of the basin. The sequence is distributed along the entire length of the 560 km long lake, and is concentrated in three main depocentres. 14C age dates from sediment piston cores are extrapolated to provide an age estimate of about 78 000 yr bp for the oldest sediments within the Songwe Sequence. In the North and Central bathymetric basins of the lake, high resolution seismic data indicate a dynamic depositional environment, dominated by turbidity and mass flow deposits. Seismic data from the southern basin show acoustically transparent sediments with relatively low amplitude internal reflections, indicative of pelagic and hemipelagic sedimentation. In many areas the Songwe Sequence is underlain by a pronounced angular unconformity, suggestive of a significant, prolonged, low lake stage prior to deposition of the sequence. Seismic reflectors within the Songwe Sequence can be correlated to younger low lake stages identified from sediment core data. Major late Quaternary low lake level stages in Lake Malawi, interpreted from features identified in the seismic data and sediment core analyses, are tentatively interpreted at 6000 to 10 000 yr bp , 28 000 to >40 000 yr bp , and prior to 78 000 yr bp . Budget calculations indicate mean sediment concentrations from catchment runoff during the period of deposition of the Songwe Sequence to be about 190 mg 1−1, comparable to estimates of modern rainy season discharges from the major river systems. Erosion rates within the drainage basin are estimated to be higher than the African average by a factor of three or more, probably due to the high relief within the Lake Malawi catchment. 相似文献

Integrated total elemental, phase-specific, and pore-water analyses of sediment cores from Loch Ba, Scotland, show that early diagenetic processes have promoted extensive metal enrichment immediately beneath the sediment-water interface. The accumulation of Mn, Pb, Zn, Cu, and Co in sedimentary solids upward of 3 cm depth is accompanied by an increasing residence of these elements in adsorbed and hydrous oxide phases. Such phases are formed through oxidative precipitation from the interstitial pore fluids, following the upward migration of metals from more deeply buried, anaerobic sectors of the sediment pile. There is good evidence that Fe and Ni are subject to similar influences, although their total abundances near the sediment surface are less conspicuously modified. In the Loch Ba sediments, the oxic conditions promoting metal precipitation are entirely confined to strata of postindustrial age. In the absence of fully diagnostic pore-water and sequential chemical data, similar diagenetic profiles could plausibly be misinterpreted as the product of anthropogenic contamination. 相似文献

The calcium cycle, in particular carbonate dissolution, was analyzed in two deep eutrophic lakes, Lago di Lugano (288 m maximum depth) and Sempachersee (87 m) located in Switzerland. A box model approach was used to calculate calcite dissolution in the water column and at the sediment-water interface based on various lake monitoring data such as sediment traps, sediment cores, water and pore-water analysis. A model for stationary conditions allowing the calculation of calcite dissolution in the water column for a given particle size distribution was developed. The relative values of the simulated flux were consistent with sediment trap observations. The best fit of the dissolution rate constant of sinking calcite in Lago di Lugano was on the same order of magnitude (3 · 10−10 kg1/3 s−1) as published laboratory values for this surface controlled process.Both lakes show a similar specific calcite precipitation rate of 170 g Ca m−2 a−1. The diffusive flux across the sediment-water interface amounts to about 15 and 10% of total calcite precipitation in Sempachersee and Lago di Lugano, respectively. However, 61% of the precipitated calcite is dissolved in the water column of Lago di Lugano compared to only 13% in Sempachersee. These results point towards the importance of grain size distributions and settling times in stratified deep waters as the two most important factors determining calcite retention in sediments of hard water lakes. 相似文献

随着海洋开发活动由浅海走向深海,南海北部陆坡的沉积物强度特性逐渐成为关注热点。本文通过参与2015年与2016年共享航次计划,在南海北部莺琼陆坡、神狐陆坡、东沙陆坡、台湾浅滩陆坡进行沉积物重力取样与箱式取样,并现场剖样,用以进行沉积物强度测试。地质取样结果表明东沙陆坡砂含量相对较高并发现直径约22cm黑色气孔状碳酸盐结核。在神狐陆坡沉积物表层发现活体壳类生物,在110cm深度处发现壳类生物遗骸。十字板剪切试验与笔式贯入试验结果表明南海北部陆坡,沉积物强度差异较大。但总体而言,除东沙陆坡外,莺琼陆坡、神狐陆坡、台湾浅滩陆坡表层沉积物强度一般较低。0～20cm范围内,笔式贯入阻力一般小于0.1N,十字板剪切强度最大一般不超过10kPa。0～300cm深度范围内,沉积物强度沿深度方向大致呈递增趋势,个别站位递增趋势不明显。台湾浅滩陆坡等南海北部陆坡表层沉积物存在强度分层:分层界面以上,沉积物强度较低;分层界面处,沉积物强度骤增。该分层界面可能是海底滑坡的潜在滑动面。 相似文献

Geochemical and anthropogenic enrichments of Mo in sediments from perennially oxic and seasonally anoxic lakes in Eastern Canada 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
We measured the vertical distributions of Mo, Fe, Mn, sulfide, sulfate, organic carbon, major ions, and pH in sediment porewater from one perennially oxic and three seasonally anoxic lacustrine basins in Eastern Canada, as well as those of Mo, acid volatile sulfide, Fe, Mn, Al, organic C, 210Pb and 137Cs in sediment cores from the same sites. The only input of anthropogenic Mo to these lakes comes from atmospheric deposition.The relatively monotonous distribution of Mo in the porewater of three seasonally anoxic basins suggests that Mo is not redistributed in the sedimentary column during periods of anoxia. In contrast, porewater Mo profiles obtained at three sampling dates in a perennially oxic basin display sharp Mo peaks below the sediment-water interface, indicating redistribution subsequent to deposition. Modeling of these latter porewater Mo profiles with a diagenetic reaction-transport equation coupled to comparisons among the various porewater and solid phase profiles reveal that Mo is released at 1-2 cm depth as a consequence of the reductive dissolution of Fe oxyhydroxides and scavenged both at the vicinity of the sediment-water interface, by re-adsorption onto authigenic Fe oxyhydroxides, and deeper in the sediments where dissolved sulfide concentrations are higher. The estimated rate constant for the adsorption of Mo onto Fe oxyhydroxides is 36 ± 45 cm3 mol−1 s−1.Diagenetic modeling indicates that authigenic Mo in sediments of the perennially oxic basin represents about one-third of the total solid phase Mo in the first cm below the sediment-water interface and only one tenth below this horizon. If we assume that no authigenic Mo is accumulated in the seasonally anoxic lake sediments we conclude that the sediment Mo concentrations, which are up to 3-16 times higher than the average lithogenic composition, depending on the lake, are mainly due to atmospheric deposition of anthropogenic Mo and not to the formation of authigenic Mo phases. Reconstructed historical records of the atmospheric Mo deposition indicate maximum values in the 1970s and 1980s and significant decreases since then. Emissions to the atmosphere associated with the smelting of non-ferrous ores and coal combustion appear to be the most important sources of anthropogenic Mo. 相似文献

The ion activity product of Fe and phosphate in interstitial waters from four sediment cores taken from Greifensee, Switzerland indicate the presence of vivianite [Fe3(PO4)2 · 8 H2O] in the solid phase. Analysis of the sediment using an electron microprobe and by electron microscopy revealed P-rich grains to be also enriched in Fe. The combined methods provide strong evidence that vivianite is forming authigenically in the sediments. Thermodynamic stability calculations demonstrate that the most stable Fe and phosphate minerals (pyrite, siderite and apatite) are not the ones controlling the pore water chemistry. The results emphasize the importance of rate processes of mineral formation in early diagenesis.Calculations based on the sediment phosphate concentration, and the degree of supersaturation of Fe and phosphate in the upper portion (0–15 cm) of the pore waters, indicate that the rate of vivianite mineral growth is controlled by a surface reaction rather than a diffusion mechanism. The response time of dissolved phosphate in the sediment pore waters with respect to mineral precipitation is on the order of 1–20 days. Less than 15% of the phosphate released by organic matter degradation at the sediment-water interface and below is retained in the sediments. 相似文献

Uranium geochemistry has been investigated in three acid lakes located on the Canadian Shield and one circumneutral lake in the Appalachian Region of Eastern Canada. In all Shield lakes, dissolved U concentrations were higher in the porewater than in the overlying water. In one of them, whose hypolimnion is perennially oxic, U released to porewater at depths of Fe remobilization was removed from the porewater at depths of Fe oxyhydroxides precipitation; these similarities in the U and Fe profiles indicate that part of the U becomes associated to Fe oxyhydroxides. The dissolved U and Fe profiles in the other two Shield lakes, whose hypolimnions were anoxic when sampled, did not show any significant recycling of these elements in the vicinity of the sediment-water interface and both elements diffused from the sediment to the overlying water. In contrast, in the Appalachian Lake, dissolved U concentrations were higher in the overlying water than in porewater, strongly decreased at the vicinity of the sediment-water interface and then remained relatively constant with sediment depth. Diagenetic modeling of the porewater U profiles, assuming steady-state, reveals that authigenic U always represented ?3% of the total U concentration in the sediments of all lakes. This observation indicates that diagenetic reactions involving U are not quantitatively important and that most of the U was delivered to the sediments at our study sites as particulate U and not through diffusion across the sediment-water interface, as is seen in continental margin sediments. Comparison of the U:Corg and U:Fe molar ratios in diagenetic material collected across the sediment-water interface with Teflon sheets and in surface sediments (0-0.5 cm) of the lake having a perennially oxic hypolimnion suggest that solid phase U was mainly bound to organic matter originating from the watershed; a strong statistical correlation between sediment non-lithogenic U and Corg in the Appalachian Lake supports this contention. Thermodynamic calculations of saturation states suggest that dissolved U was not removed from porewater through precipitation of UO2(s), U3O7(s) and U3O8(s) as previously proposed in the literature. 相似文献

为了探讨有机氯农药HCH和DDT残留在湖泊沉积物中的赋存和演化过程,并利用其特有的时间标尺特征分析近现代在人类活动干扰下的湖泊沉积过程,2006年在太湖的竺山湾、梅梁湾利用重力采样器分别采集湖泊沉积岩芯ZS和ML,按1cm间隔分样。测定了两孔岩芯20cm深度以上的HCHs（六六六类）和DDTs（滴滴涕类）残留量,结合测年资料分析了两孔岩芯中近50年来HCHs和DDTs垂直分布特征及沉积环境意义。研究结果表明,竺山湾岩芯ZS中HCHs和DDTs的残留量分别为0.22～9.70ng/g和0.32～12.34ng/g;梅梁湾岩芯ML中HCHs和DDTs的残留量分别为0.18～11.02ng/g和0.52～13.44ng/g。尽管两孔岩芯中HCHs和DDTs的残留量不同,但指示的沉积时间一致:在20世纪50年代中期以后岩芯中HCHs和DDTs残留量均明显增加,在20世纪70年代末出现峰值,这与太湖流域有机氯农药HCH和DDT使用的历史相一致,岩芯ZS中HCHs和DDTs残留量以及岩芯ML中HCHs残留量在80年代初以后逐渐降低,这与有机氯农药HCH和DDT在1983年禁止使用的时间相对应。但在岩芯ML中20世纪90年代以后DDTs残留量又明显增加,显示有新的输入源,可能与90年代以来无锡、常州快速发展的"小化工、小农药"排污进入梅梁湾有关。研究结果同时还表明太湖沉积物中的HCHs和DDTs残留量在沉积岩芯上的变化序列可以作为指示太湖沉积过程的时间标尺,对太湖沉积环境变化的研究具有重要意义。 相似文献

All of the major deep-water sedimentary provinces of the Gulf of Mexico were sampled with 48 piston cores, representative of the late Quaternary. The amount (per cent) and δ5C13 of the organic carbon in the sediment was measured at intervals within each core.Graphs of δC13 versus depth for each core give an indication of the sedimentological history of the Gulf. They show the extent of terrestrial influence on the Gulf during the late Pleistocene.Changes in δC13 of up to 6.0%.(from ~ ?19%.to ?25%. vs NBS-20) were measured across the Pleistocene-Holocene boundary in cores from the abyssal plain. These changes are consistent with a model wherein varying amounts of land-derived organic carbon were transported to the Gulf basin during glacial periods.By comparing graphs for cores from different areas, it was concluded that the major parameter affecting the δC13 values of organic carbon from marine sediments is the relative amount of terrestrial material present in the sediment. The maximum possible effect of the Pleistocene-Holocene temperature change in the Gulf was determined to be ~1.0%, if such an effect occurs at all. 相似文献
