Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) has been applied to determine the elemental composition of the surface layer, as well as of the first interior layer, of quartz grains from the mine tailings from Kristineberg (northern Sweden) in order to determine concentration gradients between these two layers. The quartz grains were collected from the oxidized and unoxidized zones within the tailings. The aim of this study is to assess the role of quartz surfaces as sites for the attenuation of solutes from the mine-tailings porewater. Concentrations of Cu, Ag, Sb, Pb and Bi are highest near the surface of each grain and decrease towards the interior. The surface concentration of Cu, Zn and Pb is more pronounced within the unoxidized than within the oxidized zone of the tailings. Cu exhibits a distinct concentration peak at the surface of the quartz grains below the pre-remediation oxidation front. For Zn and Ce the trend of high surface concentration is less pronounced than for Cu or Pb. Silver, Bi and As are preferably adsorbed within the uppermost layers of the oxidized zone where the pH is as high as 6.2. The conversion of intensity signals of the elements to concentration values in ppm was done by using external standards (NIST silicate glass).  相似文献   

Carbon isotopic fractionation by desorption of shale gases     

《Marine and Petroleum Geology》2015

Geochemical studies of shale gas and conventional reservoirs within the Triassic Yanchang Formation of Xiasiwan and Yongning Field, Ordos Basin show that methane is isotopically depleted in ¹³C as compared to δ¹³C₁ calculated by the Ro based on the relationship between δ¹³C₁ and Ro. Geochemical fractionation during the adsorption/desorption process of shale system may play a significant part in influencing δ¹³C₁ values of shale gas. Two shale core samples from confined coring of the Yanchang Formation were adopted segmented desorption experiments to examine this phenomenon. The results show that the δ¹³C₁ of desorbed gas changes little in the first few phases of the experiments at low desorption levels, but become less negative rapidly when the fraction of desorbed methane exceeds 85%. The desorption process for the last 15% fraction of the methane from the shale samples shows a wide variation in δ¹³C₁ from −49‰ to −33.9‰. Moreover, δ¹³C₁ of all desorbed methane from the shale samples is substantially depleted in ¹³C than that calculated by Ro, according to Stahl and Carey's δ¹³C₁–Ro equation for natural gas generated from sapropelic organic matter. This shows some gases with isotopically enriched in ¹³C cannot be desorbed under the temperature and pressure conditions of the desorption experiments. This observation may be the real reason for the δ¹³C₁ of shale gases and conventional reservoirs becomes more negative in Xiasiwan and Yongning Fields, Ordos Basin. The magnitude of the deviation between the δ¹³C₁ of shale gas and that calculated by Ro may be related to the adsorption capacity of shale or the proportion of absorbed gases. In this way, we may be able to evaluate the relative adsorption capacity of shale in geological conditions by δ¹³C₁ of the shale gas, or by δ¹³C₁ of conventional gas which generated by the shale with certainty. The δ¹³C₁ of conventional gas in Dingbian and Yingwang Fields have no deviation because the TOC value of the hydrocarbon source rock is relatively low.  相似文献   

红土镍矿样品前处理方法和分析测定技术研究进展     

燕娜  赵小龙  赵生国  郑红文 《岩矿测试》2015,34(1):1-11

随着常规镍来源的硫化镍矿资源的日益枯竭,可直接生产氧化镍、镍锍和镍铁等产品的红土镍矿倍受关注。对于红土镍矿中主量、次量、痕量元素的检测,相同的检测项目存在多种测试方法,且部分相同原理的测试方法存在细节上的差异,使得检测者选择合适的检测方法变得困难。本文综述了近年来红土镍矿中24种元素测定的样品前处理方式及分析技术研究进展。样品前处理方式依据目标元素及后续的分析方法进行选择,其中酸溶法和碱熔法用途最广。酸溶法引入的盐分少,操作简单,但是分解过程中易导致挥发元素As、Sb、Bi、Hg的损失,Cr易随高氯酸冒烟损失。碱熔法分解能力强,适合分析Cr、Si、全铁等项目,但会引入大量的盐类和因坩埚材料损耗而带入其他杂质,给后续分析带来困难。红土镍矿的分析技术依据实验室条件及目标元素的性质和浓度进行选择。电感耦合等离子体发射光谱法(ICP-AES)是主量、次量元素的主要分析方法,适合于分析含量为10-5~30%级别的金属元素;X射线荧光光谱法主要用于分析含量为10-3~1级别的元素,尤其适合于测定Al、Si、Ti、V和P,由于该方法的准确性依赖于一套高质量的标准样品,故更适合炉前检测或检测大批红土镍矿样品。电感耦合等离子体质谱法(ICP-MS)最适合于分析10-4含量以下的重元素,特别是稀土和贵金属元素。原子吸收光谱法(AAS)适合于分析10-4~10-2级别的Ca、Mg、Ni、Co、Zn、Cr、Mn等低沸点、易原子化元素。分光光度法主要用于分析Ni和P。原子荧光光谱法(AFS)主要用于分析As、Bi、Sb等易形成气态氢化物的元素。容量法主要用于分析Al、Fe、Mg和Si O2等主含量元素。尽管AAS、分光光度法、AFS法和容量法检测周期长,但所用仪器为实验室常规配置,可满足缺乏相应大型仪器实验室的日常检测。本文认为,针对各种检测方法的适用性及存在问题,应从开发微波消解法、固体进样直接测汞法、ICP-MS法以及Cr与其他元素同时分析的快速分析方法等方面开展研究,建立灵敏、准确的检测方法,从而更好地服务于红土镍矿的贸易、检验和综合利用。  相似文献

Solid phase characterization and metal deportment in a mussel shell bioreactor for the treatment of AMD,Stockton Coal Mine,New Zealand     

《Applied Geochemistry》2016

The Stockton Coal Mine, located on the West Coast of New Zealand, is evaluating the use of a mussel shell bioreactor (MSB) to treat acidic metalliferous runoff from acid forming overburden. This novel approach is similar in concept to vertical flow wetlands (VFWs) and successive alkalinity producing systems (SAPS). The MSB system is a trapezoidal pit 2 m deep, 35 m long, 3–10 m wide with 60° angle sides. During operation it contained 160 tonnes (240 m³) of mussel shell material and was saturated with a 100–200 mm water cap. Influent flowed through the reactor at a mean rate of 0.3 L s⁻¹ resulting in a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of ≈6 days. The prototype MSB was in operation for a total of 1027 days, from June 2009 through March 2012, and effectively sequestered 99.7% of Al, 99.3% of Fe, 98.8% of Ni, 98.4% Tl and 99.3% of Zn, as determined from a previous evaluation of MSB performance. The MSB also effectively neutralized acidity, which resulted in an increase in influent pH from 2.8 to 6.9 in the effluent. Based on an examination of several excavated pits, five distinct reaction zones developed within the MSB. The reaction zones consisted of an allochthonous sediment layer (0–330 mm), an oxidized iron-rich ocherous layer (at 330–350 mm depth), an aluminum layer (at 350–600 mm depth) with geochemical variations throughout (350–500 mm and 500–600 mm); and a chemically reduced bottom shell layer (at 600–1100 mm). Representative samples were collected from each layer and analyzed using a combination of geochemical and physical methods to assess the stability of the secondary minerals and trace metal deportment within the MSB. Major elements Fe, Al, Ni, Tl, and Zn where preferentially associated with particular layers within the MSB. Elevated concentrations of Fe (110,000 mg kg⁻¹) were observed in the allochthonous sediment and ocherous precipitate layers, while Al (27,816 mg kg⁻¹), Ni (55 mg kg⁻¹), and Zn (655 mg kg⁻¹) were elevated within the aluminum and lower reduced depths within the MSB. Trace Tl (21 mg kg⁻¹) showed varying concentrations throughout the MSB, but was strongly correlated to lower layers of the system. Microbial biofilms were observed within the reduced portions of the shell layers often proximal to bacterial shaped sulfides. The geochemical assessment of the MSB presented in this study is the first of its kind for a MSB, and supports the argument that this system is another viable option for passive treatment of AMD.  相似文献   

Phosphate removal from water by naturally occurring shale,sandstone, and laterite: The role of iron oxides and of soluble species     

Dan Eude Kpannieu  Martine Mallet  Lacina Coulibaly  Mustapha Abdelmoula  Christian Ruby 《Comptes Rendus Geoscience》2019,351(1):37-47

Aqueous phosphate removal by three geomaterials from Ivory Coast was evaluated to determine their potential application as low-cost phosphate adsorbents in wastewater treatment. Batch experiments showed that phosphate uptake strongly depended on pH. Laterite and sandstone dissolution was less pronounced compared to shale. A correlation between concentrations of aqueous cation species released from shale and phosphate uptake was observed. The kinetics were well described using the pseudo-second-order model. Isotherms displayed a saturation level on shale, while phosphate uptake continuously increased for laterite and sandstone. The removal efficiency decreased in the following ranking order: laterite > sandstone > shale. Laterite was also the most efficient adsorbent in column experiments. The high phosphate removal efficiency of laterite (8.3 mg PO₄ g^?1) was attributed to the presence of superparamagnetic low grain sizes of goethite. Laterite is a particularly promising material for further investigation in wastewater treatment technology such as constructed wetlands.  相似文献   

Secondary copper enrichment in tailings at the Laver mine, northern Sweden   总被引：3，自引：2，他引：1  

H. Holmström  J. Ljungberg  M. Ekström  B. Öhlander 《Environmental Geology》1999,38(4):327-342

 Field and laboratory studies of the sulphide-bearing tailings at Laver, northern Sweden, show that the present release of metals from the tailings is low, especially with regard to Cu. A large part of the Cu released by sulphide oxidation is enriched in a distinct zone just below the oxidation front. The enrichment zone occurs almost all over the tailings area except in areas with a shallow groundwater table. The Cu enrichment is caused by formation of covellite and adsorption onto mineral surfaces. The transport of Zn, Co, Cd, Ni and S seems to be controlled mainly by adsorption. No secondary zone or secondary minerals containing these metals have been found. Just below the groundwater table, metals are released into solution when the enrichment zone reaches the groundwater due to the low pH. An increased release of metals, especially Cu, can be expected in the future, since the enrichment zone is moving towards the groundwater table.

Natural sediment at a dam and its inorganic materials as adsorbents of praseodymium(Pr(Ⅲ))     

Melania Jiménez-Reyes  Jaime Jiménez-Becerril  Marcos Solache-Ríos  Perla Tatiana Almazán-Sánchez 《国际泥沙研究》2023,38(4):566-575

The sediment deposited behind a dam(DS) and its inorganic materials(IM-DS) were characterized and used for the removal of praseodymium(Pr) from aqueous solutions. Quartz, albite, and kaolinite were found in the sediment by X-ray diffraction. Kinetic data fit well to a pseudo second-order model, the equilibrium time for DS and IM-DS was 2 h and 3 min, respectively, and the adsorption capacity was higher for Pr/DS(q_e= 4.91 mg/g) than for Pr/IM-DS(q_e= 3.01 mg/g) in these condi...  相似文献
