The relevance of bisphenol A adsorption during Fenton’s oxidation     

A. Žgajnar Gotvajn  M. Bistan  T. Tišler  A. J. Englande  J. Zagorc-Končan 《International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology》2013,10(6):1141-1148

The aim of this research was to assess the efficiency of Fenton’s oxidation for degradation of endocrine disruptor bisphenol A (BPA) with emphasis on extent of accompanying adsorption. Adsorption on the waste sludge resulting from the Fenton’s oxidation could represent a significant impact on the final removal efficiency of BPA. Fenton’s oxidation was accomplished at two concentrations of BPA (0.228 and 22.8 mg L^?1); both at the selected molar ratio of reagents Fe²⁺:H₂O₂ (1:10), as a function of reaction time. The kinetics of adsorption of BPA on waste sludge was determined for the same two concentrations of BPA at two concentrations of waste sludge (0.1 and 6.0 g L^?1). In addition to changing concentrations of BPA and sludge, the adsorption process was also influenced by parameters such as temperature, pH and contact time. Adsorption isotherms were determined. Oxidation and adsorption were monitored by gas chromatography combined with mass spectrum. It has been confirmed that BPA is not completely oxidized in Fenton’s oxidation, because it is adsorbed to formed waste ferric sludge and thus necessary precautions for sludge deposition must be observed.  相似文献   

Influence of crack distribution of rocks on P‐wave velocity anisotropy – a laboratory and field scale study‡     

Jan Vilhelm  Vladimír Rudajev  Roman Živor  Tomáš Lokajíček  Zdeněk Pros 《Geophysical Prospecting》2010,58(6):1099-1110

The purpose of this paper is the comparison of P‐wave velocity and velocity anisotropy, measured at different scales under laboratory and field conditions. A shallow seismic refraction survey with shot/receiver spacing of up to 10 m was carried out on a flat outcrop of lhertzolite in the southern part of the Balmuccia massif. Oriented rock samples were also obtained from the locality. The particular advantage of the laboratory method used is the possibility of measuring velocity in any direction under controlled conditions. Laboratory tests were made on spherical peridotite samples, 50 mm in diameter, by ultrasonic velocity measurements in 132 directions (meridian and parallel networks) under confining stress ranging from atmospheric to 400 MPa. The mean P‐wave velocity of the field and laboratory data differed by between 20–30%. In addition, P‐wave velocity anisotropy of 25% was detected in the field data. Whereas the anisotropy in the laboratory samples in the same orientation as the field surveys was less than 2%. This observed scaling factor is related to the different sampling sizes and the difference in frequencies of applied elastic waves. With an ultrasonic wavelength of 10 mm, laboratory samples represent a continuum. The field velocities and velocity anisotropy reflect the presence of cracks, which the laboratory rock samples do not contain. Three sub‐vertical fracture sets with differing strikes were observed in the field outcrop. Estimates of fracture stiffness from the velocity anisotropy data are consistent with other published values. These results highlight the difficulty of using laboratory velocity estimates to interpret field data.  相似文献   

Mass Fractions of Forty‐Six Major and Trace Elements,Including Rare Earth Elements,in Sediment and Soil Reference Materials Used in Environmental Studies          下载免费PDF全文

Development of new techniques, enabling simultaneous determination of large numbers of elements in environmental samples, can force analysts to use certified reference materials that do not contain all the elements of interest. In this paper, the mass fractions of forty‐six major and trace elements, including rare earth elements (REE), are presented in one soil (NCS DC 77302 also known as GBW 07410) and five sediment (Metranal‐1, IAEA 405, MESS‐3, NCS DC 73309 also known as GBW 07311 and NCS DC 75301 also known as GBW 07314) certified reference materials determined by high resolution inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry. The selected certified materials represent a spectrum of geological matrices often analysed in environmental studies. Measured elements include certified elements, elements listed with information values as well as new elements absent from certificates, including REEs and some other elements. REE + Y mass fractions in the river sediment reference material Metranal‐1 are reported for the first time. The results obtained are in agreement with available certified or information values.  相似文献   

Epigenetic dolomitization of the Přaídolí formation (Upper Silurian), the Barrandian basin,Czech Republic: implications for burial history of Lower Paleozoic strata     

V. Suchý  I. Rozkošný  K. Žák  J. Franců 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1996,85(2):264-277

Stratabound epigenetic dolomite occurs in carbonate facies of the Barrandian basin (Silurian and Devonian), Czech Republic. The most intense dolomitization is developed in bioclastic calcarenites within the transition between micritic limestone and shaledominated Přídolí and Lochkov formations deposited on a carbonate slope. Medium-crystalline (100–400 μm), inclusion-rich, xenotopic matrix dolomite (δ ¹⁸O=−4.64 to −3.40‰ PDB;δ ¹³C=+1.05 to +1.85‰ PDB) which selectively replaced most of the bioclastic precursor is volumetrically the most important dolomite type. Coarse crystalline saddle dolomite (δ ¹⁸O=−8.04 to −5.14‰ PDB;δ ¹⁸C=+0.49 to +1.49 PDB) which precipitated in fractures and vugs within the matrix dolomite represents a later diagenetic dolomitization event. In some vugs, saddle dolomite coprecipitated with petroleum inclusion-rich authigenic quartz crystals and minor sulfides which, in turn, were post-dated by semisolid asphaltic bitumen. The interpretation of the dolomitization remains equivocal. Massive xenotopic dolomite, although generally characteristic of a deeper burial setting, may have been formed by a recrystallization of an earlier, possibly shallow burial dolomite. Deeper burial recrystallization by reactive basinal pore fluids that presumably migrated through the more permeable upper portion of the Přídolí sequence appears as a viable explanation for this dolomitization overprint. Saddle dolomite cement of the matrix dolomite is interpreted as the last dolomitization event that occurred during deep burial at the depth of the oil window zone. The presence of saddle dolomite, the fluid inclusion composition of associated quartz crystals, and vitrinite paleogeothermometry of adjacent sediments imply diagenetic burial temperatures as high as 160°C. Although high geothermal gradients in the past or the involvement of hydrothermally influenced basinal fluids can account for these elevated temperatures, burial heating beneath approximately 3-km-thick sedimentary overburden of presumably post-Givetian strata, no longer preserved in the basin, appears to be the most likely interpretation. This interpretaion may imply that the magnitude of post-Variscan erosion in the Barrandian area was substantially greater than previously thought.  相似文献   

Kutnohorite from the Chvaletice pyrite and manganese deposit,east Bohemia     

Doc. Dr. L. Žák  Doc. Dr. P. Povondra 《Mineralogy and Petrology》1981,28(1):55-63

Summary Kutnohorite-quartz veins penetrate through a weakly metamorphosed Late Proterozoic sedimentary rhodochrosite carbonate in pyrite shales. Kutnohorite is pleochroic ranging from colourless () to pinkish grey (), =1.735, =1,543,d=3.066g·cm^–3;a ₀=4.852(1),c ₀=16.219(7) Å. A quantitative chemical analysis leads to the formula (Ca_0.95Mn_0.05)_1.00(Mn_0.64Mg_0.23Fe_0.13)_1.00(CO₃)_2.04. An electron microprobe scanning reveals considerable microscale inhomogeneity in cleavage rhombohedrons taken from a coarsely grained aggregate. It is mostly of the character of periodic fluctuations of the main element contents around an average value. There is a strong prevalence of an Fe+Ca–Mn+Mg antagonism, the extremes of compositonal differences lying in distances of 0.0X mm. The fluctuation maxima amount to about 9% for FeO, 6% for MnO, 3% for CaO, and 1.5% for MgO. In one of the samples even a two phase character with the above antagonism between the two phases was detected by X-rays. The inhomogeneities are due, partly at least, to the Fe-metasomatic processes that followed the formation of the kutnohorite by Alpine-paragenesis hydrothermal metamorphism.

Kutnohorit aus der Pyrit-und Manganlagerstätte von Chvaletice (Ostböhmen)

Zusammenfassung Kutnohorit-Quarzgänge durchdringen ein schwach metamorphes jungproterozoisches sedimentäres Rhodochrositkarbonat in pyritischen Schiefern. Der Pleochroismus von Kutnohorit liegt zwischen farblos () und rosagrau (), =1,735, =1,543;d=3,066 g·cm^–3;a ₀=4,852(1),c ₀=16,219(7) Å. Die quantitative chemische Analyse des Minerals ergibt Formel (Ca_0,95Mn_0,05)_1,00(Mn_0,64Mg_0,23Fe_0,13)_1,00(CO₃)_2,04. Elektronenmikrosondenuntersuchungen zeigen eine starke mikroskopische Inhomogenität in den Spaltrhomboedern von einem grobkörnigen Kutnohoritaggregat. Sie ist meistens durch periodische Schwankungen der Hauptelementgehalte um einen Mittelwert hervorgerufen. Antagonistische Beziehungen von Fe+Ca und Mn+Mg überwiegen, die extremen Werte von Elementgehalten liegen in Abständen von 0,0X mm. Die höchsten Schwankungen erreichen etwa 9% für FeO, 6% für MnO, 3% für CaO und 1,5% für MgO. In einer Probe konnten röntgenographisch sogar zwei Kutnohoritphasen mit dem erwähnten Antagonismus zwischen den Phasen bewiesen werden. Die Inhomogenitäten wurden wahrscheinlich meistens durch Fe-metasomatische Vorgänge nach der Kristallisation des Kutnohorits während der hydrothermalmetamorphen Prozesse der Alpinen Paragenese hervorgerufen.

Beryllium Geochemistry in the Lesni Potok Catchment (Czech Republic), 7 Years of Systematic Study     

T. Navrátil  P. Skřivan  L. Minařík  A. ŽIgová 《Aquatic Geochemistry》2002,8(2):121-133

The biogeochemical study was carried out at the Lesni potok (LP)catchment, Central Bohemia, Czech Republic. The ecosystem was impacted by heavy acid depositionduring the industrial development in 1980–1990. The catchment is forested mostly by two tree species, Norwayspruce and European beech. The Be concentration in the granite bedrock is 12.6 mg kg^-1. Theplagioclase contains the highest Be concentrations out of the rock-forming minerals. Elevatedconcentration of Be (5.4 mu;g L^-1) in surface waters is a result of its mobilization from the soils(3.9 mg kg^-1) and weathered rock by acid precipitation. As the pH of the precipitation and consecutivelypH of the surface waters is increasing in the Czech Republic, the Be concentrations in the surface watersgradually decrease. Groundwater with high pH values contains lower concentrations of Be (0.17 g L^-1)than surface waters. The soils at prone area of the catchment are depleted in Be compared to thesoils in the riparian zones. The vegetation located on the prone area contains lower concentrations of theBe than vegetation at riparian zones. The monitoring of Be in the environment is important with respectto its possible harmful effects on aquatic biota and root systems of the plants.  相似文献   

Projections of uncertainties in climate change scenarios into expected winter wheat yields   总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5  

M. Trnka  M. Dubrovský  D. Semerádová  Z. Žalud 《Theoretical and Applied Climatology》2004,77(3-4):229-249

Summary The crop model CERES-Wheat in combination with the stochastic weather generator were used to quantify the effect of uncertainties in selected climate change scenarios on the yields of winter wheat, which is the most important European cereal crop. Seven experimental sites with the high quality experimental data were selected in order to evaluate the crop model and to carry out the climate change impact analysis. The analysis was based on the multi-year crop model simulations run with the daily weather series prepared by the stochastic weather generator. Seven global circulation models (GCMs) were used to derive the climate change scenarios. In addition, seven GCM-based scenarios were averaged in order to derive the average scenario (AVG). The scenarios were constructed for three time periods (2025, 2050 and 2100) and two SRES emission scenarios (A2 and B1). The simulated results showed that: (1) Wheat yields tend to increase (40 out of 42 applied scenarios) in most locations in the range of 7.5–25.3% in all three time periods. In case of the CCSR scenario that predicts the most severe increase of air temperature, the yields would be reduced by 9.6% in 2050 and by 25.8% in 2100 if the A2 emission scenario would become reality. Differences between individual scenarios are large and statistically significant. Particularly for the time periods 2050 and 2100 there are doubts about the trend of the yield shifts. (2) The site effect was caused by the site-specific soil and climatic conditions. Importance of the site influence increases with increasing severity of imposed climatic changes and culminates for the emission scenario A2 and the time period 2100. The sustained tendency benefiting two warmest sites has been found as well as more positive response to the changed climatic conditions of the sites with deeper soil profiles. (3) Temperature variability proved to be an important factor and influenced both mean and standard deviation of the yields. Change of temperature variability by more than 25% leads to statistically significant changes in yield distribution. The effect of temperature variability decreases with increased values of mean temperature. (4) The study proved that the application of the AVG scenarios – despite possible objections of physical inconsistency – might be justifiable and convenient in some cases. It might bring results comparable to those derived from averaging outputs based on number of scenarios and provide more robust estimate than the application of only one selected GCM scenario.  相似文献   

Vertical distribution of phytoplankton in a stratified estuary     

Damir Viličić  Tarzan Legović  Vera Žutić 《Aquatic Sciences - Research Across Boundaries》1989,51(1):31-46

We present a fine vertical distribution of physico-chemical parameters and phytoplankton density around the halocline (freshwater/seawater interface) in the Krka estuary on the East coast of the Adriatic Sea. Suspended matter, surfactant activity, surface active aggregates, particulate organic carbon and phaeophytin all show largest concentrations in the 20–50 cm thick interface layer. The highest concentration of chlorophyll-a is found on the upper boundary of the interface and it is a consequence of majority of viable freshwater phytoplankton cells that accumulate there. The phytoplankton accumulates selectively in the interface: larger size fractions accumulate faster than smaller ones. In particular, nanoplanakton accumulates the least. The visible interface is also populated by dead phytoplankton cells. Most of the freshwater phytoplankton dies and decomposes in the interface, as revealed by a small chlorophyll-a/phaeophytin ratio, and it represents the main source of surface active dissolved and particulate organic matter. Marine flagellates migrate and divide in the interface, while some species likeProrocentrum micans andSyracosphera sp. are also found in the upper freshwater layer.  相似文献   

Magmatic history of granite-derived mylonites from the southern Desná Unit (Silesicum, Czech Republic)     

P. Hanžl  V. Janoušek  V. Žáček  D. Wilimský  J. Aichler  V. Erban  M. Pudilová  M. Chlupáčová  K. Buriánková  P. Mixa  V. Pecina 《Mineralogy and Petrology》2007,89(1-2):45-75

Summary In the southern part of the Hruby Jeseník Mts. (Silesicum, Bohemian Massif) granitic orthogneisses and quartz-feldspars mylonites occur that were variously deformed, metamorphosed and imbricated with the overlaying Devonian volcano-sedimentary complex during the Variscan orogeny. Based on combined mapping, petrologic and geochemical studies, three main rock groups are distinguished. The fairly primitive nature of the tonalite suite is shown by low ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr₅₅₀ ratios (0.7034–0.7038) and positive ε _Nd ⁵⁵⁰ values (+3.8 and +3.1). Isotopic composition of the metagranite suite is similar (ε _Nd ⁵⁵⁰ = +1.9 to +2.9). Both suites probably belong to a single Cadomian calc-alkaline tonalite–granite association, which can be correlated with acid-intermediate plutonic rocks of the eastern Brunovistulicum (Slavkov Terrane). All these units are interpreted as representing dismembered fragments of the same continental margin magmatic arc system. The leucogranite suite is most likely early Variscan in age. The initial Nd isotopic composition (ε _Nd ³³⁰ = +0.8 and +2.3) is consistent with its formation by a Variscan remelting of the metaigneous Cadomian crust represented by the rocks of the tonalite–granite association. The within-plate granite affinity of the leucogranite suite is most likely related to the break-up of the Brunovistulicum during the Variscan orogeny.  相似文献
