Solution ³¹P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has recently been used to characterize phosphorus species within marine particles. However, the effects of sample collection, storage and preparation have not been thoroughly examined. In this study, samples of settling particulates collected from a 1200-m sediment trap located in Monterey Bay, California, were subjected to various storage options (i.e., no storage, refrigeration, freezing, and oven-drying and grinding) prior to extraction for solution ³¹P-NMR spectroscopy. Freezing, refrigerating and drying samples for periods of up to 6 months prior to extraction with 0.25 M NaOH + 0.05 M Na₂EDTA increased the concentration of extracted P by an average of 16% relative to samples extracted without storage. Pre-extraction storage also introduced some minor changes in P speciation, by increasing the percentage of orthophosphate by up to 15% and decreasing the percentage of pyrophosphate by up to 5%, relative to the abundances of these P species in samples extracted without storage. Drying caused the biggest changes in speciation, specifically decreasing more extensively the relative percentage of pyrophosphate compared to other treatments. Nevertheless, observed changes in speciation due to sample storage within a specific sample were small relative to differences observed among samples collected sequentially in the same area, or reported differences among samples collected at different locations. Samples were also analyzed by solid-state ³¹P-NMR spectroscopy before and after extraction, to examine extraction-related changes in P speciation. Comparison of solution with solid-state ³¹P NMR indicates that extraction with NaOH–EDTA removes the majority of organic esters, but only a variable portion of phosphonates (39–67%). In addition, there was preferential extraction of Ca-associated phosphate over Mg-, Fe- and Al-associated phosphate. Solution ³¹P NMR enables much higher resolution of P species within samples, particularly when it is important to speciate orthophosphate monoesters and diesters, or if polyphosphates are present. However, combining solid-state ³¹P NMR with solution ³¹P NMR spectroscopy for marine particles should be conducted when examining inorganic P speciation and the abundance of phosphonates.  相似文献

赵丽英  陆贤昆  孙秉一 《中国海洋大学学报(自然科学版)》1990,(4)

对胶州湾水体、浮游生物、悬浮颗粒物和沉积物中锡的测定、形式、生物累积等进行研究。不同季节(1987年和1988年)的水体、浮游植物和沉积物测定表明:1.水体总还原无机锡和总锡含量分别为4.2～38.8ng/dm~3,65.6～209ng/dm~3;浮游植物总锡含量为22.4～414mg/kg(干重);沉积物总锡含量为0.015～0.98mg/kg(干重),且在胶州湾港口区测得水体总锡的最大值209ng/dm~3。以上结果与目前世界其它海域、河口类似。2.有些区域有机锡含量已达到或超过某些生物的致毒阈值(对双壳类,其TBT≤0.1μg/dm~3)从而引起水质恶化。3.水体总锡含量与悬浮颗粒量密切相关;浮游植物对锡的生物富集因子高达10~5,说明无机或有机颗粒及生物体在水体锡的循环迁移过程中起重要作用。  相似文献   

Importance of organic Fe complexing ligands in the Mississippi River plume     

Rodney T. Powell  Amy Wilson-Finelli 《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》2003,58(4):757

As part of a larger program focused on understanding the biogeochemistry of large river plumes, we participated in two expeditions during 2000 to sample the Mississippi River plume. Surface water samples were collected using a trace metal clean towed fish and analyzed for total dissolved Fe, organic Fe complexing ligands and their associated conditional stability constants. The ligands in the river plume have conditional stability constants (log K′_FeL between 10.5 and 12.3 with an average of 11.2 and standard deviation of 0.6) very similar to ligands found in the open ocean. Comparison of high flow and low flow regimes indicates that variability in flow may be the main cause of the variability in Fe concentrations in the plume. The organic Fe complexing ligands are in greatest excess during a time of higher flow. These ligands are responsible for maintaining very high (5 nM) Fe concentrations throughout the plume. Due to complexation with these organic ligands, the concentration of Fe remains above the Fe-hydroxide solubility level until a salinity above 35 is reached where there appears to be a sink for Fe in the less productive waters. Therefore, Fe is transported a great distance from the river source and is available for biological utilization in the coastal zone.  相似文献   

Ecological Differences in the Distribution of two Tethya (Porifera, Demospongiae) Species Coexisting in a Mediterranean Coastal Lagoon     

Giuseppe Corriero  rea Balduzz  Michele Sarà 《Marine Ecology》1989,10(4):303-315

Abstract. In the Sicilian lagoon Stagnone di Marsala, Tethya aurantium and T. citrina show different ecological distributions, although some overlapping occurs. The first species reaches its highest density where linear currents are maximal, and in this habitat it is particularly frequent on Posidonia oceanica rhizomes. The second species is more abundant in still water locations and is equally common on Posidonia rhizomes and on calcareous concretions. Such distributions can be related to water movement, Posidonia shoot density, and associated factors such as sedimentation and food availability. These observations are consistent with an adaptive interpretation of the morphofunctional features distinguishing the two species.  相似文献

哈素海区域高砷地下水对当地居民饮用水安全造成严重威胁, 揭示其形成演化机制对科学合理的开发利用水资源、保障居民身体健康具有重要意义。本文在水文地质调查的基础上, 应用Piper三线图、PHREEQC的砷形态计算及相关性分析等方法, 研究高砷地下水化学特征、构建砷形态模型(SM)和砷吸附模型(HSM), 以揭示高砷地下水的成因机制。结果表明, 研究区砷浓度为0.2~231.5 μg/L, 高砷区主要分布在大青山以南的冲湖积平原区; 地下水砷的类型以As(Ⅲ)为主, SM分析显示优势形态为H3AsO3, HSM分析显示存在Hfo_wH2AsO3和H3AsO3两种主要形态。地下水中的砷化物可能来源于山区富砷岩石的风化溶解以及第四系富砷河湖相沉积物; 研究区河湖相沉积环境是高砷水形成的前提, 有机质分解主导的还原环境是导致砷从含水介质释放到地下水中的主要因素, 弱碱性环境和HCO– 3的竞争吸附也会引起砷的释放。  相似文献   

Quantification of Water Content and Speciation in Synthetic Rhyolitic Glasses: Optimising the Analytical Method of Confocal Raman Spectrometry     

Cong Tu  Zi-Yue Meng  Xiao-Ying Gao  Li Zhang 《Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research》2023,47(3):549-567

Quantification of water content in silicate glasses is of vital significance in understanding magma evolution and metamorphic anataxis. Here we provide a method for the determination of total dissolved water content and water speciation in silicate melts by confocal laser Raman spectrometry based on a set of hydrous rhyolitic glasses. A series of alumino-silicate glasses with water contents from 0.33 to 9.05% m/m were synthesised in a piston cylinder apparatus. Synchrotron-FTIR mapping shows that these glasses have relatively homogeneous distributions of dissolved water. Total water contents of the glasses were precisely measured by TC/EA-MS and FTIR. Both external and internal calibration were established for the quantitative analysis of water content and water speciation in the silicate glasses based on excellent linear correlation between total dissolved water content and integrated area of the water Raman band. Furthermore, by decomposing the total water Raman bands into four Gaussians components, the relative concentration of water speciation (OH groups and molecules H₂O_m) dissolved in the glasses was determined with a similar trend to water speciation data derived from FTIR. We suggest that the relative concentration of water speciation can be estimated in rhyolitic glasses with 4–8% m/m H₂O. Our work provides an accurate method to determine total water content and a potential tool to limit the relative concentration of water speciation dissolved in silicic glasses.  相似文献

Speciation analysis of metals （Tl, Cd and Pb） in Tl-containing pyrite and its cinder from Yunfu Mine, China, by ICP-MS with sequential extraction   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

The speciation of heavy metals such as thallium, cadmium and lead existing in pyrite and pyrite cinder was analyzed by ICP-MS with a sequential extraction procedure. The distribution patterns of these metals including exchangeable, reducible, oxidizable and residual fractions were obtained. Tl, Cd and Pb in pyrite and pyrite cinder samples from each extraction step were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Under the optimized instrumental conditions, detection limits of Tl, Cd and Pb in different matrices were within the range of 0.006–0.07 μg/L, and the relative standard deviations ranged from 0.8% to 1.2%. The accuracy of Tl, Cd and Pb determination was checked by analyzing two certified reference materials. The results demonstrate that trace Tl, Cd and Pb in the samples can be accurately determined. The sequential extraction results revealed that the percent contents of Tl, Cd and Pb in exchangeable, reducible and oxidizable fractions in pyrite cinder are different from those in pyrite and in pyrite cinder. Tl, Cd and Pb mostly are distributed in residual fraction. Therefore, the mobility of metals in pyrite is higher than that in pyrite cinder. Although distributions of Tl, Cd and Pb in the non-residual fraction are not dominant in pyrite cinder, the total concentrations of them could not be ignored. Consequently, attention must be paid to the risk of potential pollution by pyrite cinder.  相似文献

砷在水环境中的迁移和富集可以产生严重的砷污染，砷在自然水系中主要以无机砷酸盐（AsO4^3-）和亚砷酸盐（AsO3^3-）两种形式存在，而砷的有机化合物的含量一般都很低，砷酸盐在富氧化性的水体中占优势，而亚砷酸盐则富集于还原性水体中，水体中As3 和As5 的相对含量主要受氧化还原条件和一些吸附一解吸平衡过程控制，As3 类比As5 类的毒性强得多，而无机砷化合物比有机砷化合物的毒性大，在pH值为5－6时，As^5 不易被还原成气态AsH3，而s^3 却能定量地被还原出来，根据这一性质，可完成水体中As3 和As5 的测定，砷在饮用水中的安全阀值仅为10ug/L，水体中高砷的危害可以通过水质净化予在消除或降低，铁的化学沉淀和吸附法，石灰软化法，活性氧化铝净化法和逆流渗透法等都可以有效地去除或降低饮用水中砷的含量。  相似文献   

Speciation of aluminum in the stream waters from the Susquehanna River watershed, Chesapeake Bay     

Shuping Bi 《Environmental Geology》2001,40(3):300-304

 The aim of this paper was to analyze the processing and transport of aluminum speciation through the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems of the Chesapeake Bay landscape. Stream waters were sampled in 14 different streams from the Susquehanna River watershed to the upper reach of Chesapeake Bay. The basic water quality data were documented and Al speciation was evaluated by modified MINEQL computer model. It was found that the increase in acidity in some of the stream waters near New York were closely linked with a marked decline in basic cation concentrations. In these areas, the sum of the toxic forms of Al³⁺ plus AlOH²⁺ and Al(OH)₂ ⁺ concentrations exceeds the critical level of 5 μmol l^–1. A potential threat from aluminum may occur.
