Evaluation of Experimental Procedures and Discussion of Two Different Modelling Approaches with Respect to Long-term Kinetics of Metal Cation Sorption onto (Hydr)oxide Surfaces     

Johannes Lützenkirchen 《Aquatic Geochemistry》2001,7(3):217-235

Experimental procedures as well as literature data and modelling of long-term kinetics of metal ion adsorption processes onto thermodynamically stable (hydr)oxide surfaces from aqueous solution are evaluated. It is concluded that when experimental uptake data are obtained by the solution depletion method precise information on experimental procedures is crucial. This is true both for preliminary kinetics studies (which intend to fix an equilibration time used for subsequent thermodynamic studies) and for true kinetic studies. For the usually given adsorption versus time curves the corresponding (possibly changing) values of pH should be added. The use of sorption pH edges measured at different times to obtain kinetics curves at constant pH may not correspond to the actual behaviour of the system but be rather an artificial construct.Concerning the models two basically different mechanisms have been used to account for the slow sorption step, which occurs in long-term studies: intraparticle diffusion of the adsorbing metal cation and slow redistribution of surface species. It is shown that the two mechanisms cannot be distinguished using macroscopic uptake data alone: data, which have been interpreted using one approach, may equally well be interpreted using the other one.  相似文献   

Melting of plagioclase-quartz assemblages at 2 kbar water pressure     

W. Johannes 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1989,103(3):270-276

The melting of plagioclase and quartz has been investigated at P _H2O =2kb. A single crystal of plagioclase was surrounded by quartz powder and water. A reaction rim consisting of glass and of An-rich plagioclase developed around unchanged starting plagioclase. Microprobe determinations of melt and coexisting plagioclase compositions reveal a strong fractionation of plagioclase components between melt and new plagioclase. For example at 850° C the approximate X _An of melt is 0.3 and that of plagioclase is 0.8. The temperature interval between beginning of melting and complete melting of cotectic compositions is 100° C or more for quartz-plagioclase mixtures with plagioclases between An 40 and An 75. In comparison to the system Ab-An-H₂O the plagioclase melting loop is somewhat wider in the investigated system Qz-Ab-An-H₂O but the temperature interval is much smaller (100° C) than in the system Ab-An-H₂O (200° C). The solidus data indicated by the new plagioclase compositions are practically identical with those observed in beginning of melting experiments. The results show that fractionation of plagioclase components between partial melts and restite plagioclase can be more pronounced in multi-component rocks than in the pure plagioclase system. This finding is important for the development of albite rich rocks from more basic compositions.  相似文献

Development of competence for competitiveness     

Johannes Moe 《Marine pollution bulletin》1994,29(6-12):562-565

This paper presents an integrated approach to the development of a company's competence. The discussion, which has special relevance for large companies, covers competitiveness, competence in general, individual knowledge and expertise, institutional competence, capability, and mobility. An example is presented which illustrates a co-ordinated effort to increase the environmental competence in Statoil. Much of the reasoning here has the most direct focus on technological competence and development, but it is believed to be equally relevant to the other functions in the company.  相似文献   

On the mechanisms of cation diffusion processes in ternary feldspars     

H. Behrens  W. Johannes  H. Schmalzried 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》1990,17(1):62-78

Cation diffusion processes have been studied in single crystals of intermediate plagioclase and albite composition by tracer-diffusion experiments and optical absorption spectroscopy. Tracer-diffusivities were determined by the residual activity method, using the radioactive isotopes ²²Na, ⁴⁵Ca and ⁵⁹Fe. In most cases, diffusion experiments were performed at 1 bar, at controlled oxygen activity and at temperatures between 750 and 1300°C. The obtained Na-diffusivities for plagioclases were much smaller then previously determined for albite. This indicates a strong composition dependence of Na-diffusion. In contrast, Ca-diffusivity in albite does not differ very much from that in intermediate plagioclases. The relative diffusivities determined for plagioclase of composition An62 at 1200° C (CO/CO₂ =50∶50) were D _infNa ^sup* ∶D _infFe ^sup* ∶D _infCa ^sup* =5000∶10∶1. Despite the an isotropic structure of feldspars, no difference was found for Na-and Ca-diffusion normal to (001) and normal to (010). Water pressure of 2 kbar has no influence on the Na-diffusivity. In contrast to the Ca-diffusion, a dependence on oxyggen activity was found for Na-and Fe-diffusion. Fe-diffusivity increases with decreasing oxygen activity. This can be correlated to changes in oxidation state of iron dissolved in the plagioclases. Optical absorption spectroscopy shows that iron is oxidized in the plagioclases by annealing in air. This effect can be reversed by annealing at reducing conditions. A model is proposed to explain the oxidation of iron by a chemical diffusion process in which A-vacancies are formed by out-diffusion of Na⁺. Preannealing of samples in air gives a temperature independent decrease of Na-diffusivity by a factor of about 2.5. This effect is explained with help of a simple disorder model for A-cations in ternary feldspars. It is concluded that Na⁺ diffuses via interstitials and that the A-vacancy concentration in the plagioclases is controlled extrinsically, probably by dissolved SiO₂.  相似文献   

Belastungscharakterisierung von Flußabschnitten der Saale und der Weißen Elster mittels Faktorenanalyse     

S. Geiss  J. Einax 《洁净——土壤、空气、水》1991,19(6):615-627

Loads along a river can be characterized and differentiated with the aid of the factor analysis after suitable normalization. The factor analysis as a multivariate-statistical evaluation allows the finding of sources of contamination, their objective assessment and quantification in relation to the conditions found in the river. The analysis of the river Saale shows a geogenic factor all the year round, which is composed of hardness elements, a seasonally fluctuating factor that can be represented in summer only, by which especially the processes of nitrogen conversion are recorded (nitrate, nitrite, organic load). An “industrial factor” contains the heavy metals Cu, Cr and Zn as well as temperature and sulphate, whereas cadmium, suspended matter and chloride result from municipal wastewaters.  相似文献   

Phase equilibria and compositions of Fe-Mg-Al minerals and melts in water-saturated peraluminous granitic systems     

Jacek Puziewicz  Wilhelm Johannes 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1988,100(2):156-168

Phase assemblages and phase compositions were studied experimentally in water-saturated, biotite-bearing peraluminous granitic melts as a function of alumina excess and temperature. The runs were performed at 2 and 5 kbars under NNO buffer. Biotite was stable only in composition containing 5% of normative corundum; it coexisted with cordierite and hercynite at 2 kbars and with hercynite at 5 kbars. In composition containing 10% of normative corundum biotite was not observed; abundant cordierite and hercynite were the only Fe-Mg-Al minerals. These relationships show that, at constant pressure, the amount of cordierite increases with increasing excess of alumina. Simultaneously the stability of biotite decreases due to preferential partitioning of Mg into cordierite and Fe into biotite. Besides the distribution of Fe, Mg and Al among the coexisting solid phases, solubility of these elements in the melts is given. Below 900° C melts are poor in iron and magnesium and correspond, in terms of these elements, to leucogranites. It is suggested that the leucogranitic magmas, such as parental magmas of European Hercynian and Himalayan leucogranites, must have been formed through highly efficient separation of partial melt from restite, in which ferromagnesian components are concentrated. Peraluminous granites rich in ferromagnesian minerals originate supposedly from restite-bearing magmas.  相似文献   

On the call for issue advocates,or what it takes to make adaptation research useful     

Anna Bohman  Erik Glaas  Johannes Klein  Mia Landauer  Tina-Simone Neset  Björn-Ola Linnér  Sirkku Juhola 《Climatic change》2018,149(2):121-129

This essay discusses the concept of usefulness of research for climate change adaptation. Based on prior research and stakeholder interactions with policymakers and practitioners in the Nordic countries, we contend that critical issues related to the usefulness of adaptation research seem less associated with content (i.e. research outputs), but rather centre around the efforts made to design and communicate research, that is, to put research at the service of society and make the case for adaptation on the political agenda. This, we argue, to some extent mirrors the situation and political context in the Nordic countries, where adaptation in many locations still is an issue in its infancy, not firmly established on the political agendas, and where working procedures are not yet institutionally settled. In this context, science is considered and sometimes used as a discursive tool to make the case for adaptation. Based on the calls for research that inspires, raises hope and helps to raise the issue of adaptation on the political agendas, we elaborate the role of honest issue advocates for researchers in the field of adaptation science.  相似文献   

Geochronology of fluid-induced eclogite and amphibolite facies metamorphic reactions in a subduction–collision system,Bergen Arcs,Norway     

Johannes Glodny  Alexander Kühn  Håkon Austrheim 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2008,156(1):27-48

Rb–Sr multimineral isochron data for metamorphic veins allow to date separate increments of the mineral reaction history of polymetamorphic terranes. Granulite facies rocks of the Lindås nappe, Bergen Arcs, Norway, were subducted and exhumed during the Caledonian orogeny. The rocks show petrographic evidence for two distinct events of local fluid infiltration and vein formation, along fractures and shear zones. The first occurred at eclogite facies (15–21 kbar, 650–750°C) and a later one at amphibolite facies conditions (8–10 kbar, 600°C). The presence of fluids enabled local metamorphic equilibration only near fluid pathways. In fluid-absent domains, preexisting assemblages were metastably preserved. This resulted in a heterogeneity of metamorphic signatures on meter to μm-scales. Well-preserved granulite facies rocks preserve their Proterozoic Rb–Sr mineral ages, as does the U–Pb system of zircon in most lithologies. Six Rb/Sr multimineral isochron ages for eclogite facies veins and their immediate wallrocks date the fluid-induced eclogitization at 429.9 ± 3.5 Ma (2σ, weighted average, MSWD = 0.39). An eclogite facies vein has yielded metamorphic zircon with concordant U–Pb ages of 429 ± 3 Ma, identical to the U–Pb age of 427.4 ± 0.9 Ma for zircon xenocrysts in an amphibolite facies vein. Seven Rb/Sr mineral isochron ages date amphibolite-facies fluid infiltration at 414.2 ± 2.8 Ma (MSWD = 1.5), an age value testifying to residence of the rocks in the deep orogenic crust at temperatures >600°C for nearly 15 Ma. The new data show that Rb–Sr mineral isochron ages effectively date fluid-induced (re)crystallization events rather than stages of cooling. The direct link between isotopic ages and distinct petrographic equilibrium assemblages aids to constrain the evolution of rocks in the P–T-reaction-time space, which is essential for understanding exhumation histories and the internal dynamics of orogens in general.  相似文献   

Comment on Rust et al.: Human–Carnivore Conflict in Namibia Is Not Simply About Black and White     

Gail Christine Potgieter  Florian Johannes Weise  Bettina Wachter  Jörg Melzheimer  Ingrid Wiesel  Ken Stratford 《社会与自然资源》2017,30(10):1299-1303

Carnivore conservationists agree that addressing the socioeconomic needs of people is critical to human-carnivore conflict mitigation. We therefore welcome studies that encompass complex social and cultural factors that affect the severity of human-carnivore conflict on Namibian farmlands. However, we contend that the recent study by Rust et al. (2016 Rust, N. A., J. Tzanopoulos, T. Humle, and D. C. MacMillan. 2016. Why has human–carnivore conflict not been resolved in Namibia? Society &; Natural Resources 29 (9):1079–94. doi:10.1080/08941920.2016.1150544[Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) was poorly designed, used inappropriate sampling methods, lacked quantitative information on their qualitative results, and ultimately produced unsupported conclusions about the role of historic apartheid and current racism in exacerbating human-carnivore conflict in Namibia. We outline our concerns regarding the methods used, and demonstrate that the conclusions drawn by Rust et al. were not supported by their data.  相似文献
