There have been many studies devoted to trace metals and their value in assessing the paleoredox conditions of ancient marine deposition. Among them, molybdenum (Mo) is frequently cited as an effective proxy for sediments and sedimentary rocks. Recently, Helz et al. (Helz, G.R., Miller, C.V., Charnock, J.M., Mosselmans, J.L.W., Pattrick, R.A.D., Garner, C.D., Vaughan, D.J., 1996. Mechanisms of molybdenum removal from the sea and its concentration in black shales: EXAFS evidences. Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta, 60, 3631-3642) and Adelson et al. (Adelson, J. M., Helz, G. R., Miller, C. V., 2001. Reconstructing the rise of recent coastal anoxia; molybdenum in Chesapeake Bay sediments. Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta, 65, 237-252.) suggested that Mo does not behave conservatively in the water column when H₂S reaches a threshold concentration. Above this concentration, a “switch” operates, and Mo is scavenged by forming bonds with metal-rich (notably iron) particles, sulfur-rich organic molecules and pyrite. In this paper, Mo-trapping by sulfur-rich organic matter (OM) in ancient marine deposits is emphasized. The following Mesozoic geological formations were selected for study because of their relatively high concentration of sulfurized OM: the Akkuyu Formation (Turkey), the Calcaires d'Orbagnoux (France) and Kimmeridge Clay (UK) and its timeequivalent in Boulonnais (France), the Kashpir oil shales (Russia), and the La Luna Formation (Venezuela). The sulfur-rich OM is identified by either measured organic-S abundance or kerogen microscope observation. Our results show that Mo is systematically more enriched relative to the other redox-sensitive/sulfide-forming elements studied (U, V, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cr), and Mo enrichment is positively correlated with the amount of sulfurized OM but not with pyrite abundance. These results illuminate the role played by sulfurized OM in geologic-scale Mo capture and retention, but they also underline the role played by reactive iron. Significant OM sulfurization is only possible when reactive iron is limited. Nevertheless, pyrite formation, though limited, could act as an initial Mo trap, prior to Mo uptake by OM that is sulfurized after the pyritization step. In future paleoenvironmental reconstructions, attention must be paid to this enhanced Mo enrichment in the presence of sulfurized organic matter. In such cases, the use of Mo could lead to overestimation of the reducing conditions of the depositional environment.  相似文献   

Adsorption mechanisms of trivalent gold on iron- and aluminum-(oxy)hydroxides. Part 1: X-ray absorption and Raman scattering spectroscopic studies of Au(III) adsorbed on ferrihydrite, goethite, and boehmite

Gold adsorption products on powdered ferrihydrite, goethite, and boehmite samples, prepared by reacting Au(III)-Cl solutions ([Au] = 4.2 × 10⁻⁵-9.0 × 10⁻³ M; [Cl] = 0.017-0.6 M) with these adsorbents at pH values of 4 to 9 and Au adsorption densities ranging from 0.046 to 1.53 μmol/m² were characterized using Au-L_III XAFS spectroscopy. The solutions (before and after uptake) were investigated by Raman scattering to determine speciation and by Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES) to determine solution composition. We present an analysis of several effects that are observed in the Au L_III-edge XAFS spectra, including X-ray beam-induced photo-reduction, multi-electronic excitations, disorder effects, and multiple scattering, that would complicate interpretation of the spectra if not accounted for. A combination of methods (spectral deconvolution, principal component analysis, spectral inversion, and wavelet analysis) was used to identify and quantify these effects, to characterize the nature of mixed ligands around gold, and to distinguish between multiple-scattering features and features due to next-nearest neighbors in the XAFS spectra.Analysis of the Au-L_III XAFS spectra showed that Au(III) is present as square-planar Au(III)(O,Cl)₄ complexes in the aqueous solutions and on the surfaces of the Al/Fe-(oxy)hydroxide adsorption samples with dominantly O ligands at pH > 6 and mixed O/Cl ligands at lower pH values. The EXAFS-derived Au-O and Au-Cl distances are 2.00(2) and 2.28(2) Å, respectively, and the magnitudes of the Debye-Waller factors and third cumulants from anharmonic analyses indicate very little thermal or positional disorder around Au(III) in the adsorption samples. Iron second neighbors are present around Au in the Au(III)/ferrihydrite and Au(III)/goethite adsorption samples, with Au-Fe distances of 3.1(1) and 3.3(1) Å. In boehmite, two sets of Au-Al distances were detected at 3.0(1) and 3.2(1) Å. A reverse Monte Carlo study of the XAFS spectroscopic data suggests the presence of a continuum of edge-shared AuO₄-FeO₆ distances, which cannot be described correctly by a classical model of these data in which only a mean distance (although severely under-estimated) is derived.  相似文献   

Primitivism and the other. History of art and cultural geography     

Jean-François Staszak 《GeoJournal》2004,60(4):353-364

The article advocates an articulation of cultural geography and art history, and in this perspective focuses on the analysis of the primitivist movement and particularly on Gauguin's work and personal itinerary. Primitivism introduced artefacts of ‘primitive’ people into the history of Western art and signalled a change in the relationship between the West and the ‘Other’ and ‘Elsewhere’. This reversal of values has a major geographical dimension. Primitivism manifests the contradiction-rife colonial ideology, but can also challenge colonization. Tourism, which is, in the case of Tahiti, directly linked to Gauguin and to his myth, inherited a lot from primitivism, in terms of hopes and ambiguities. Conversely, primitivism casts light on geographical features of these places, instituted as ‘Elsewheres‘ by the West, and visited, even transformed by painters, colonizers and tourists.

Palaeovalleys and fault-controlled depocentres in the Late-Ordovician glacial record of the Murzuq Basin (central Libya)     

Jean-François Ghienne  Max Deynoux  Giänreto Manatschal  Jean-Loup Rubino 《Comptes Rendus Geoscience》2003,335(15):1091-1100

In the Gargaf area, the stratigraphic architecture of the Late-Ordovician glacial drift results from successive glacial erosion events, with the location of the main glacial valleys partly controlled by inherited Panafrican structural trends, and by the existence of glacio-isostatically induced fault-related depocentres. Four laterally discontinuous, depositional units correspond to the filling of palaeovalleys. Each of the corresponding basal bounding surfaces was incised during a major ice front advance, reaching at least the northern Gargaf (>28°S). The bulk of the glacial record is made up of fluvial to shallow-marine sediments deposited in relatively distal glacial environments. Each unit, which recorded a glacial-interglacial climatic cycle, can be used for correlation throughout the Murzuq Basin and even at the scale of the North Gondwana platform.

Investigation on Planetary Atmospheres Using Laboratory Simulation Experiments The Example of Saturn's Moon (Titan)     

Coll  Patrice  Raulin  François 《Earth, Moon, and Planets》1998,80(1-3):113-133

The main goals of experimental simulation in the laboratory of a planetary atmosphere are to feed the theoretical models, and to help the treatment of observations. This type of simulation permits the direct study of objects that space missions can't study or have not studied yet, through the production of laboratory analogues of gaseous or solid phases. But the representativity of these laboratory analogues is of crucial importance. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献   

Effect of Complexing Agents (EDTA and ATMP) on the Remobilization of Heavy Metals from a Polluted River Sediment     

François Bordas  Alain C. M. Bourg 《Aquatic Geochemistry》1998,4(2):201-214

EDTA and ATMP are synthetic chelatingagents used in many industrial applications. Becauseof their low biodegradability, they are present inmany aquatic systems where their strong complexingcapacities can modify the transfer of toxic heavymetals between solid and liquid phases.The remobilization of Cu, Pb and Cd from pollutedsuperficial river sediments in the presence of twosynthetic organic ligands (a polycarboxylate, EDTA,and a phosphonate, ATMP) is investigated as a functionof reaction time to determine the time necessary toreach dissolutive equilibrium, and as a fonction ofthe complexing agent concentration.The dissolutive equilibrium times are similar (10 to20 hours) and the solubilizing power of ATMP isslightly lower than that of EDTA. The curves ofsolubilization of metals in the presence of thecomplexing agents present a shape of a chelateconcentration desorption edge, for a chelate rangebetween 10^-5 to 10^-3 mol L^-1, thesolubilised metals increasing dramatically. Thisremobilization is the result of a competition betweenassociation with the solid phase and dissolvedcomplexation. With EDTA, the desorption order ofmetals seems to be imposed by association with thesolid. For ATMP is it the chelate complexing strengthwhich determines this order.  相似文献   

Holocene Lakes from Ramlat as-Sab'atayn (Yemen) Illustrate the Impact of Monsoon Activity in Southern Arabia     

Anne-Marie Lézine  Jean-François Saliège  Christian Robert  Frédéric Wertz  Marie-Louise Inizan 《Quaternary Research》1998,50(3):290-299

Paleoecology and paleohydrology of the Ramlat as-Sab'atayn (Southern Arabia) are reconstructed from a comparative study including sedimentology, mineralogy, stable isotope ratios of carbonates, and palynology of lacustrine sediments recovered from the al-Hawa depression. The section dates from 8700 to 7200 yr B.P. and records an early phase of flooding followed by distinct lacustrine development from 7800 to 7200 yr B.P., coeval with maximum activity of the Indian monsoon. Comparison of the pollen record with modern pollen deposition suggests that regional vegetation was then already of desert type and was related to strong seasonal trade winds.  相似文献
