Effect of changes in water salinity on ammonium, calcium, dissolved inorganic carbon and influence on water/sediment dynamics     

P. Lpez 《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》2003,56(5-6):943-956

The effect of a sudden increase in salinity from 10 to 37 in porewater concentration and the benthic fluxes of ammonium, calcium and dissolved inorganic carbon were studied in sediments of a small coastal lagoon, the Albufera d'Es Grau (Minorca Island, Spain). The temporal effects of the changes in salinity were examined over 17 days using a single diffusion-reaction model and a mass-balance approach. After the salinity change, NH₄⁺-flux to the water and Ca-flux toward sediments increased (NH₄⁺-flux: 5000–3000 μmol m⁻² d⁻¹ in seawater and 600/250 μmol m⁻² d⁻¹ in brackish water; Ca-flux: −40/−76 meq m⁻² d⁻¹ at S=37 and −13/−10 meq m⁻² d⁻¹ at S=10); however, later NH₄⁺-flux decreased in seawater, reaching values lower than in brackish water. In contrast, Ca-flux presented similar values in both conditions. The fluxes of dissolved inorganic carbon, which were constant at S=10 (55/45 mmol m⁻² d⁻¹), increased during the experiment at S=37 (from 30 mmol m⁻² d⁻¹ immediately after salinity increase to 60 mmol m⁻² d⁻¹ after 17 days).In brackish conditions, NH₄⁺ and Ca²⁺ fluxes were consistent with a single diffusion-reaction model that assumes a zero-order reaction for NH₄⁺ production and a first-order reaction for Ca²⁺ production. In seawater, this model explained the Ca-flux observed, but did not account for the high initial flux of NH₄⁺.The mass balance for 17 days indicated a higher retention of NH₄⁺ in porewater in the littoral station in seawater conditions (9.5 mmol m⁻² at S=37 and 1.6 mmol m⁻² at S=10) and a significant reduction in the water consumption at both sites (5 mmol m⁻² at S=37; 35/23 mmol m⁻² at S=10). In contrast, accumulation of dissolved inorganic carbon in porewater was lower in seawater incubations (−10/−1 meq m⁻² at S=37; 50/90 meq m⁻² at S=10) and was linked to a higher efflux of CO₂ to the atmosphere, because of calcium carbonate precipitation in water (675/500 meq m⁻²). These results indicate that increased salinity in shallow coastal waters could play a major role in the global carbon cycle.  相似文献   

Leaching of rock-concrete interfaces   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

Summary  It has been shown that contacts between host rock and engineered barriers may be critical in the design of deep radioactive waste repositories. Water is expected to reach the interface zone after the resaturation of the geological massive and its presence may lead to concrete leaching. Such a phenomenon could increase the interface transmissivity and compromise the confinement of radioactive waste. This paper intends to investigate the influence of concrete leaching on the hydromechanical behaviour of host rock-concrete interfaces. Some concrete specimens have been subjected to an accelerated leaching process using ammonium nitrate. The hydromechanical response of degraded concrete-rock interfaces has been studied under shearing and compared to that of sound interfaces. Consistent with the results available in the literature on bulk concrete, a loss of mechanical strength has been observed for the degraded interface. Unlike the sound specimens, the degraded interfaces do not dilate when sheared and they tend to be closed, thereby preventing water from flowing. Correspondence: O.

Phaeoecystis globosa, one of the most widespread marine Haptophytes, is a newly discovered species of algae in China. During the period from the autumn of 1997 to the spring of 1998, a heavy harmful algal bloom (HAB) of P. globosal first occurred in the coastal waters of East China Sea and South China Sea, which caused a great impact on the local aquiculture industry [1, 2]. Since then, this HAB has frequently attacked this area. Alexandrium tamarense can produce paralytic shellfish po…  相似文献

由于人类活动的影响大量未经处理的废污水汇入城市河流,高浓度的污染物影响了河流中微生物对生物地球化学物质迁移和转化的介导作用.本文选取典型的城市河流——北运河作为研究区域,分析了北运河沉积物中氮素形态以及含量的空间和季节差异性,并结合克隆文库分子生物学的方法,探讨了氮素形态和含量的差异对好氧甲烷氧化菌(aerobic methane-oxidizing microorganisms,MOB)群落特征的影响.结果表明:北运河沉积物中铵态氮(NH_4~+-N)为氮素的主要存在形态,存在显著的空间差异,其含量在下游显著高于上游,但季节差异不显著.NH_4~+-N含量的空间差异对MOB的群落结构和群落分布有显著影响,对群落多样性影响不显著.NH_4~+-N含量的空间分布特征与MOB的群落聚类特征一致,NH_4~+-N对MOB群落分布的影响显著高于其他形态的氮素,其含量越高,则与MOB群落分布的响应关系越紧密.北运河中NH_4~+-N的来源影响了沉积物中MOB的主要来源,MOB高同源性菌群的来源与NH_4~+-N等主要污染物的来源一致.沉积物中MOB物种之间联系的紧密程度依赖于氮素的主要存在形态及其含量水平.NH_4~+-N含量较高的下游沉积物中微生物彼此之间关系及集聚程度更强,受外界环境变化的干扰程度更强,受人类活动引起环境变化的敏感程度更高.城市河流中氮素的形态和含量差异对甲烷的氧化过程有显著影响.探究城市河流沉积物中高含量的NH_4~+-N对甲烷产生及消耗的影响过程是控制河流温室气体排放的关键.  相似文献

以赤潮异弯藻为主要研究对象,对其在有机高岭土和有机膨润土作用下的去除情况进行了研究。结果表明,以新型阳离子表面活性剂双烷基聚氧乙烯基三季铵盐改性后的粘土用量为0.03g/L时,在24h内对赤潮异弯藻的去除率可以达到100%,而未经改性的同样用量的粘土并没有对赤潮异弯藻表现出去除作用,这表明改性后的粘土对赤潮异弯藻的去除能力得到了显著的提高。同时还对改性粘土去除赤潮异弯藻的絮凝动力学及其对养殖生物日本对虾仔虾的生态毒性情况进行了研究,发现粘土的种类、用量,改性剂的用量及溶液的pH值等因素都能够影响体系的絮凝沉降速率,通过分析各种影响因素发现在粘土体系中引入有机改性剂是提高其除藻能力的主要因素。另外,毒性实验发现所用改性剂对养殖生物的毒性较小,半致死浓度约为61.9mg/L,比传统的季铵盐的毒性降低了50倍左右,是一种较为安全有效的粘土有机改性剂。  相似文献   

Benthic metabolism and the fate of dissolved inorganic nitrogen in intertidal sediments     

W.P. Porubsky  N.B. Weston  S.B. Joye   《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》2009,83(4):392-402

We determined patterns of benthic metabolism and examined the relative importance of denitrification (DNF) and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) as sinks for nitrate (NO₃⁻) in intertidal sediments in the presence and absence of benthic microalgal (BMA) activity. By influencing the activity of BMA, light regulated the metabolic status of the sediments, and, in turn, exerted strong control on sediment nitrogen dynamics and the fate of inorganic nitrogen. A pulsed addition of ¹⁵N-labeled NO₃⁻ tracked the effect and fate of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) in the system. Under illuminated conditions, BMA communities influenced benthic fluxes directly, via DIN uptake, and indirectly, by altering the oxygen penetration depth. Under dark hypoxic and anoxic conditions, the fate of water column NO₃⁻ was determined largely by three competing dissimilatory reductive processes; DNF, DNRA, and, on one occasion, anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox). Mass balance of the added ¹⁵N tracer illustrated that DNF accounted for a maximum of 48.2% of the ¹⁵NO₃⁻ reduced while DNRA (a minimum of 11.4%) and anammox (a minimum of 2.2%) accounted for much less. A slurry experiment was employed to further examine the partitioning between DNF and DNRA. High sulfide concentrations negatively impacted rates of both processes, while high DOC:NO₃⁻ ratios favored DNRA over DNF.  相似文献

沉积物中的异化硝酸盐还原过程对于海洋氮循环起着至关重要的作用。基于15N标记的培养技术是目前测定沉积物异化硝酸盐还原的主要手段。准确快速测定15N标记的产物(29N2、 30N2)是量化异化硝酸盐还原各个过程速率的关键。本研究自行组装膜进样质谱系统用于29N2和30N2的测定,对其测量条件进行了优化。结果表明,进样蠕动泵进样流速0.80 mL/min,进样时间3~3.5 min,恒温槽温度20~25℃,同时铜还原炉温度在300~600℃的条件下,^29N2/^28N2和^30N2/^28N2的测试精密度分别可以控制在0.1%和1%以内,比较适合29N2和30N2的测定。利用自组装的膜进样质谱系统结合15N标记的培养技术研究了青岛石老人沙滩沉积物中的异化硝酸盐还原过程。石老人沙滩沉积物不存在将硝酸盐完全还原为氮气好氧的反硝化。厌氧铵氧化、厌氧反硝化和异化硝酸盐还原为铵(Dissimilatory Nitrate Reduction to Ammonium,DNRA)的潜在速率(以湿沉积物N计)分别为(0.05±0.01) nmol/(cm^3·h),(2.32±0.21) nmol/(cm^3·h)和(1.02±0.15) nmol/(cm^3·h)。厌氧反硝化是硝酸盐异化还原主要的贡献者,其比例接近70%,其次是DNRA,比例可达30%,而厌氧铵氧化的贡献最低,仅为1%。在N2产生过程中,主要贡献者是反硝化,厌氧铵氧化的贡献仅为2%。  相似文献
