亚利桑那州的巨型干裂缝     

Raymond  C．Harris  于小芳 《水文地质工程地质技术方法动态》2006,(6):33-35

自1998年以来，亚利桑那州地质调查局就收到许多州周边大范围多个分散地点出现新裂缝的有关报告。此前90年代中期，报告的大部分裂缝均是人们所熟悉的类型，即开采地下水造成地面塌陷引发的地裂缝。然而，这些新裂缝大部分被证明具有不同的诱因——富含粘土的土壤或沉积物的干燥或被烘干。通过绘制这些被报道裂缝的地图及观察其航空照片，结果显示，这些“巨型干裂缝（GDC）”要比预先想象的普遍的多，并且比由开采地下水引起的地裂缝广泛的多。通过绘制亚利桑那州这些巨型干裂缝的地图，最近完成的一项研究证明了勘测的结果。这篇文章概述了那篇报道。  相似文献   

Remediation and restoration of metal-contaminated sites： Concepts and appfications to mining areas     

Domy C. Adriano Hyo T. Chon Sally L. Brown Rosanna Ginocchio 《中国地球化学学报》2006,25(B08):45-46

Metals, including heavy metals and metalloids, are a common group of environmental contaminants. Their sources in the environment are geogenic or anthropogenic. The growing trend in global industrialization ensures that more metals could be dispersed even in pristine ecosystems. To fuel industrialization, more metal ore mines have to be discovered and explored. These explorations often result in landscape disturbance, soil degradation and environmental contamination by unwanted mining constituents. Mine tailings brought up to the ground surface often serve as the main source of contaminants when these pyrite-rich materials oxidize. The oxidation of mine tailings results in proton generation, coupled with the dissolution of metals and other cations Unwanted anionic constituents are also produced. The so-called ＂acid mine drainage＂ may affect the productivity of farmlands and stability of receiving streams and other bodies of water-acidifying the waters and enriching the ecosystem with metals, i.e., high total dissolved solids. The acidified overburden materials become inhospitable to plant and microbial life as they are typically low in organic matter content and infertile. This exposes the landscape to runoff and erosion.  相似文献   

Associations and mobility of uranium in soils near a depleted uranium （DU） weapons testing site, SW Scotland     

Margaret C. Graham John G. Farmer Ian W. Oliver Angus B. MacKenzie Robert M. Ellam 《中国地球化学学报》2006,25(B08):112-112

Natural uranium has three isotopes, ^238U, ^235U and ^234U, with natural abundances of 99.27 atom %, 0.72% and 0.0055%, respectively. Only ^235U is fissile and the production of nuclear fuel and nuclear weapons involves enrichment of uranium in ^235U. This process also results in separation of ^234U from ^238U, leaving depleted uranium （DU）, with typical ^234U/^238U and ^235U/^238U activity ratios of about 0.19 and 0.013, respectively, as a waste product. The high density, high melting and boiling points and chemical stability of uranium and the availability of DU in relatively pure form mean that DU has many uses, including armour-piercing munitions. Such munitions have been developed in the UK since the 1960s and testing has been carried out by the Ministry of Defence （MoD） at firing ranges such as Dundrennan, SW Scotland and Eskmeals, NW England. The firing of DU munitions can result in the dispersion of DU and its combustion products （oxides） as aerosols or as larger fragments, with the potential for human exposure either directly at the site of detonation or via post-depositional migration in the environment. The aim of this work was to investigate the potential environmental mobility of DU by characterizing the associations of U in soil porewaters with increasing distance from a firing site. To this end, several soil cores located down-wind of the firing site at Dundrennan, near Kirkcudbright, SW Scotland, were collected in May 2006. These were sectioned on-site into 1- or 2-cm depth intervals and porewaters were isolated by centfifugation （10 minutes; 8873 g） on return to the laboratory. Following filtration through 0.2-micron cellulose nitrate filters, the porewaters were analyzed by ICP-QMS （U concentration） and ICP-OES （Fe, Al, Ca, Mg, Mn concentrations）. Sub-samples were also subjected to centrifugal ultrafiltration （100, 30, and 3 kD） and to gel electrophoretic fractionation （agarose; 0.045 M Tris-borate; 20 mA, 30 minutes）. Results showed that U was present at up to 4 μg/L in the soil porewater and that the associations of U varied with sample location and soil depth.  相似文献

俄罗斯西西伯利亚和外贝加尔区古河道型铀矿床   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

马尔科夫C.H. 《铀矿地质》2002,18(2):65-76,88

本文系统地介绍了俄罗斯3个具有工业意义的古河道型铀矿化发育区（外乌拉尔，西西伯利亚和外贝加尔）的地质背景，铀矿化特征和铀成矿条件，指出切割到基底的古河道型铀矿床，既可产于跨地区的造山周围，也可产于活化的年青地台和古老地盾，既可形成于干燥的气候条件，也可形成于潮湿的气候条件。古河道型铀矿化可以从含矿层的沉积开始一直延续到被泥岩层或玄武岩层完全封盖。古河道的后成氧化分带有两种形式：氧化带－铀矿化带－原生灰色岩石；氧化带－氧化铁再沉积带－漂白带－原生灰色岩石。古河道型铀矿床具宽广的元素谱，这主要是与含矿围岩富含有机质和在氧化带尖灭处存在各种地球化学障有关。  相似文献   

U⁶⁺化合物结构构形熵及其对热力学稳定性的影响——在核废料地质处置中的应用   总被引：5，自引：1，他引：5  

陈繁荣 《中国科学D辑》2002,32(8):644-652

在核废料地质处置库中, UO₂乏燃料将很快被氧化成U⁶⁺化合物. 由于大多数U⁶⁺化合物都具有层状或链状结构, 并且通常含有多个水分子团, 在某些结晶学位置上可能出现不同元素的类质同象混合或空位, 其中与水分子有关的氢键也可能无序排列, 因而产生类质同象混合熵和结构无序熵. 通过系统搜集铀酸盐、UO₂²⁺的氢氧化物、磷酸盐、硅酸盐、碳酸盐和硫酸盐的晶体结构分析测定结果, 发现至少31种U⁶⁺化合物中有类质同象混合, 根据对其理想混合熵的计算结果, 混合熵对某些U⁶⁺化合物的第三定律熵有较大贡献. 此外, 对U⁶⁺化合物中H₂O的晶体化学性质进行了讨论, 认为与间隙水分子有关的氢键的无序定向所产生的结构构形熵也是不能忽视的. 在核废料地质处置库近场地球化学环境中, 结构构形熵的存在可使与某些U⁶⁺ 化合物平衡的水溶液中铀的浓度降低几个数量级. 因此, 应用量热法测定U⁶⁺ 化合物的热力学参数的同时, 必须精确测定样品的化学成分和晶体结构, 并将量热法测定与溶解度实验研究相结合, 以相互印证.  相似文献

The paper presents the 3D finite element simulation of tidal flow and sediment transport in the estuarine region of the Haihe river. The proposed model adopts sigma-transformation of the hydrodynamic and sediment transport equations. The hydrodynamic and sediment transport models are verified in case of a simple test problem for which analytical solutions are available. Finally the models are applied to muddy Haihe river estuary of North China and it is claimed that hydrodynamic and sediment…  相似文献

电离层水平不均匀结构是引起掩星资料反演的主要误差源.本文模拟不均匀结构对无线电掩星资料反演的影响.首先利用3-D全球射线追踪技术进行了模拟.结果指出:电离层电子密度20%的变化可能引起GPS的时延增加约12m.其次,将90%的掩星时延对应的路径长度,定义为电离层掩星测量的水平分辨率,其值为1200-2000 km.最后,计算了不同纬度电离层当地正午、子夜和日出时的电离层水平不对称指数.它表明:低纬夏季日出时,不对称指数达-78%,反演结果可能有较大误差.  相似文献

通过藏南沉错钻孔化石硅藻组合研究, 应用青藏高原硅藻-湖水电导率转换函数, 对沉错最近300年来湖泊古盐度进行了定量恢复. 推导的电导率变化与近代湖泊水位变化记录有明显的负相关关系, 表明沉错湖水盐度可以反映大气有效湿度的变化. 古盐度的重建揭示了几次重要水文事件: 小冰期最后一次冷期(约1845~1885AD), 湖水明显淡化, 反映了冷湿气候组合特点; 20世纪60年代以来, 湖水盐度呈急剧增高趋势, 也是近300年来盐度最高、增加幅度最大时期, 湖水的咸化反映的有效湿度降低与近几十年来温度的不断上升而导致的蒸发量的增加有关.  相似文献
