Thermodynamic properties of organic iodine compounds     

Laurent Richard  Xavier Gaona 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2011,75(22):7304-7350

A critical evaluation has been made of the thermodynamic properties reported in the literature for 43 organic iodine compounds in the solid, liquid, or ideal gas state. These compounds include aliphatic, cyclic and aromatic iodides, iodophenols, iodocarboxylic acids, and acetyl and benzoyl iodides. The evaluation has been made on the basis of carbon number systematics and group additivity relations, which also allowed to provide estimates of the thermodynamic properties of those compounds for which no experimental data were available. Standard molal thermodynamic properties at 25 °C and 1 bar and heat capacity coefficients are reported for 13 crystalline, 29 liquid, and 39 ideal gas organic iodine compounds, which can be used to calculate the corresponding properties as a function of temperature and pressure. Values derived for the standard molal Gibbs energy of formation at 25 °C and 1 bar of these crystalline, liquid, and ideal gas organic iodine compounds have subsequently been combined with either solubility measurements or gas/water partition coefficients to obtain values for the standard partial molal Gibbs energies of formation at 25 °C and 1 bar of 32 aqueous organic iodine compounds. The thermodynamic properties of organic iodine compounds calculated in the present study can be used together with those for aqueous inorganic iodine species to predict the organic/inorganic speciation of iodine in marine sediments and petroleum systems, or in the near- and far-field of nuclear waste repositories.  相似文献   

Transport upscaling using multi-rate mass transfer in three-dimensional highly heterogeneous porous media     

Liangping Li  Haiyan Zhou  J. Jaime Gómez-Hernández 《Advances in water resources》2011,34(4):478-489

A methodology for transport upscaling of three-dimensional highly heterogeneous formations is developed and demonstrated. The overall approach requires a prior hydraulic conductivity upscaling using an interblock-centered full-tensor Laplacian-with-skin method followed by transport upscaling. The coarse scale transport equation includes a multi-rate mass transfer term to compensate for the loss of heterogeneity inherent to all upscaling processes. The upscaling procedures for flow and transport are described in detail and then applied to a three-dimensional highly heterogeneous synthetic example. The proposed approach not only reproduces flow and transport at the coarse scale, but it also reproduces the uncertainty associated with the predictions as measured by the ensemble variability of the breakthrough curves.  相似文献   

Macro benthic community assemblage before and after the 2007 tsunami and earthquake at Paracas Bay,Peru     

Betina J. Lomovasky  Fausto N. Firstater  Alex Gamarra Salazar  Jaime Mendo  Oscar O. Iribarne 《Journal of Sea Research》2011,65(2):205-212

Macrobenthic soft bottom community assemblages were studied from December 2006 to December 2007 at Paracas Bay (Atenas Beach, 13°45' S, 76°17' W, Peru), including the period of the tsunami of 15 August 2007, providing a unique opportunity to assess the effects of this type of natural disturbance in soft bottom marine ecosystems. The results show that the tsunami affected the soft bottom community assemblage by changing the sediment granulometry, the biomass and abundance of epifaunal species, and by increasing the silt proportion. The event affected all functional groups, resulting in an increased numbers and biomass of filter feeder and grazers that were followed soon after by predators during the post-tsunami period. A similar pattern was observed for biomass and the abundance of infaunal species without changing the functional groups. The slow recovery observed after four months was likely related to the loss of sediment stability. In summary, there were differences in the structure and composition of soft bottom macrofaunal assemblages before and after the earthquake and posterior tsunami disturbance, forcing benthic communities to initiate re-colonisation processes.  相似文献   

Coherent Cherenkov radio pulses from hadronic showers up to EeV energies     

Jaime Alvarez-Muñiz  Washington R. Carvalho Jr.Matías Tueros  Enrique Zas 《Astroparticle Physics》2012,35(6):287-299

The Cherenkov radio pulse emitted by hadronic showers of energies in the EeV range in ice is calculated for the first time using full three dimensional simulations of both shower development and the coherent radio pulse emitted as the excess charge develops in the shower. A Monte Carlo, ZHAireS, has been developed for this purpose combining the high energy hadronic interaction capabilities of AIRES, and the dense media propagation capabilities of TIERRAS, with the precise low energy tracking and specific algorithms developed to calculate the radio emission in ZHS. A thinning technique is implemented to allow the simulation of radio pulses induced by showers up to 10 EeV in ice. The code is validated comparing the results for electromagnetic and hadronic showers to those obtained with GEANT4 and ZHS codes. The contribution to the pulse of other shower particles in addition to electrons and positrons, mainly protons, pions and muons, is found to be below 3% for 10 PeV and above proton induced showers. The characteristics of hadronic showers and the corresponding Cherenkov frequency spectra are compared with those from purely electromagnetic showers. The dependence of the spectra on shower energy and high-energy hadronic model is addressed and parameterizations for the radio emission in hadronic showers in ice are given for practical applications.  相似文献   

Characterizing a fractured aquifer in Mexico using geological attributes related to open-pit groundwater   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Enrique Herrera  Jaime Garfias 《Hydrogeology Journal》2013,21(6):1323-1338

A multivariable analysis of the Rock Quality Designation (RQD) and its relation with the hydraulic conductivity of 17 dewatering wells in an open-pit mine (central Mexico) is presented as a tool for groundwater exploration in fractured aquifers. A solid model was constructed with the RQD data using three sizes for each grid cell and four interpolation methods. The inverse-distance method with a small grid gives the best results. The resulting RQD solid model was used to locate 22 pilot holes, on which an air-lift test was performed as a qualitative assessment of their usefulness. The results showed a lower water production (1.8 l/s) in shale that has low alteration, whereas in highly altered shale, breccias, and intrusive rock, the flow rate was 3.9 l/s. This implies an important relationship between the pilot-hole performance, the lithology, and the rock alteration, but it was also found that some fractures or faults, which cannot be detected clearly by the RQD, play an important role in the hydrodynamics of the aquifer. In conclusion, it is necessary to consider all available factors that can help to identify the hydrodynamic behavior of the aquifer because using only RQD data can lead to errors in prospecting for groundwater.  相似文献

Aqueous–solid solution thermodynamic model of U(VI) uptake in C–S–H phases     

Xavier Gaona  Dmitrii A. Kulik  Nathalie MacéErich Wieland 《Applied Geochemistry》2012

Reliable thermodynamic models assessing the interaction of radionuclides with cementitious materials are important in connection with long-term predictions of the safe disposal of radioactive waste in cement-based repositories. In this study, a geochemical model of U(VI) interaction with calcium silicate hydrates (C–S–H phases), the main component of hardened cement paste (HCP), has been developed. Uranium(VI) sorption isotherms on C–S–H phases of different Ca:Si ratios (C:S) and structural data from spectroscopic studies provided the indispensable set of experimental data required for the model development. This information suggested that U(VI) is neither adsorbed nor incorporated in the Ca–O octahedral layers of the C–S–H structure, but rather is located in the interlayer, similar to Ca²⁺ and other cations. With a view to the high recrystallisation rates and the cryptocrystalline ‘gel-like’ structure of the C–S–H phases, these observations indicated a U(VI) uptake driven by the formation of a solid solution.  相似文献

Predictability of currents on a mesotidal estuary (Ria de Vigo, NW Iberia)     

Pablo Cerralbo  Manel Grifoll  Manuel Espino  Jaime López 《Ocean Dynamics》2013,63(2-3):131-141

In this contribution, the implementation, validation and sensitivity analysis of an operational forecasting system (three-dimensional hydrostatic model) in the Ría de Vigo is presented. A set of sensitivity tests for different atmospheric and hydrodynamic typical periods was performed. The goal is to determine the relative importance of forcing mechanisms in order to evaluate the source of errors in predictions. Previously, validations for three periods of about 15 days were compared with measured data. Sea-level evolution reveals low errors and correlation values close to 1. Surface velocities were compared with high-frequency radar and horizontal Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler data, showing acceptable results on radar area, where tidal and wind circulation patterns are well reproduced by the model. Conductivity, temperature, and depth profiles were used to validate simulated temperature and salinity. While modelled temperature profiles show good agreement with measured profiles, eventual errors are detected on salinity. The sensitivity analysis took three variables into account: sea level, currents at open boundary conditions, and winds (two different configurations). The results show that the most important source of errors on simulated surface currents is wind. Errors on open boundary conditions seem to be limited on the outermost part of the Ría. Although the results presented mainly focus on the Ría de Vigo, the method and conclusions may be applied to other mesotidal estuaries. Moreover, this work will allow a more effective operational system focused on coastal management to be performed.  相似文献
