Mercury mobility at the Carson River Superfund Site, west-central Nevada, USA: Interpretation of mercury speciation data in mill tailings, soils, and sediments

The Carson River Superfund Site in west-central Nevada is an area of Hg-contaminated soil, sediment, water, air, and biola resulting from the amalgamation milling of Ag-Au ores of the Comstock lode worked approximately a century ago. In order to develop an understanding of the behavior, transport, and fate of Hg at this site, a technique was developed to estimate the proportions of total, elemental, exchangeable, organic, and sulfide Hg in soils, sediments, and tailings.Results of this analysis performed on active Carson River sediments indicate that Hg is selectively dissolved out of Hg-Au amalgam particles and subsequently adsorbed to fine-grained sediments which are then deposited in downstream, low-energy reaches of the Carson River and Labontan Reservoir. In the relatively more-reducing environment of the reservoir Hg appears to be converted, in large part, to relatively-insoluble HgS.The original elemental form of Hg released to the environment is the chemical form which is still dominant in most highly-contaminated soils, sediments, and tailings. Deeper, more-reducing soil horizons, however, appear to fix a significant portion of the Hg as HgS, analogous to the Lahontan Reservoir example described above. This fixation as HgS is documented to be largely limited to higher-sulfur areas where sulfide minerals from the Comstock ores increase the total sulfur concentrations of contaminated soils, sediments, and tailings.  相似文献

中国南方晚二叠世乐平煤的成因及成煤物质     

陈能贵 《海相油气地质》1996,1(2):29-33,T001

乐平煤是分布于苏浙皖赣地区龙潭组中的特有煤种(俗称树皮煤),也是一种具良好生烃潜力的烃源岩。乐平煤中,壳质组和可溶有机质含量高,母质类型为高等植物和低等生物双重来源,元素组成具富氢、低氧、高含硫的特征,应属海相成因的泥炭坪沉积。成煤物质主要来源于真蕨、种子蕨和科达类等植物的树皮体。树皮体又可分为茎皮体和根皮体两种亚组分。依据煤的显微组分组成和树皮体富集程度的不同,乐平煤可分为原地型、过渡型和微异地型三种成因类型。乐平煤的研究对整个南方二叠纪煤成烃资源的评价具重要的地质意义。  相似文献

Predisposition to Induced Seismicity in Some Czech Coal Mines     

K. Holub 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1997,150(3-4):435-450

—Mining-induced seismicity associated with longwall face operations in the Ostrava- Karviná coal mines, Czech Republic, has been investigated in order to establish the conditions leading to a focal zone generation. The study, based on macroseismic and instrumental observations, proved that seismicity is influenced by natural as well as mining conditions. The first group includes the influence of faults, washouts and red beds, while the second one is represented by shaft and/or crosscut safety pillars and various types of remnant pillars. All the cases discussed show that many focal zones are generated in overstressed strata as a consequence of interaction of natural conditions and/or old workings with the active coal face.
