Chemical characteristics of groundwater in the Midyan Basin (northwestern Saudi Arabia) were investigated and evaluated. A total of 72 water samples were collected from existing shallow wells and analyzed for different elements. Two multivariate statistical methods, hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and principal components analysis (PCA), were applied to a subgroup of the data set in terms of their usefulness for groundwater classification, and to identify the processes controlling groundwater geochemistry. The subgroup consisted of 46 water samples out of 72 samples and 24 variables included major elements (Ca2+, Na+, Mg2+, K+, Cl?, HCO3 ?, NO3 ?, SO4 2?), minor and trace element (SiO2, Al, As, B, Ba, Cd, Cr, F, Fe, Mo, P, Pb, Sb, Sn, Ti, and V). For water samples, four geochemically distinct clusters (i.e., C1, C2, C3 and C4) have been observed by hierarchical cluster analysis. Cr, F and Pb are the dominant ions in cluster C2. Al, As, Cd, Mo, Sb and Ti are the dominant ions in cluster C3, while B, Ca, Cl, HCO3, K, Mg, Na, SO4 and V are identified as dominant ions in the cluster C4. In the PCA, a total of five components are extracted form the data set, which explained 73.37 % of the total data variability. Among them the first component reveals strong associations between As, B, Cd, Cr, F, Mo, Pb, Sb and Ti. The second component reveals the associations between Ca, Cl, HCO3, Mg, Na, SO4 and V. 相似文献

Rate of deposition and quality of sedimentation dust in Al Ain and Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
This study presents data on the mineralogy and the metal content of dust deposited in Al Ain and Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates. The mineralogical compositions of the dust were determined using X-ray diffraction, and the results revealed that quartz is the dominant mineral, whereas calcite, dolomite, plagioclase, and serpentine were minor minerals. Two sampling sites were chosen from both Al Ain and Ras Al Khaimah. The concentrations of Fe, Zn, Cu, Cr, Pb, Cd, Ni, and Co in the sedimentation dusts samples of these sites were determined using inductively coupled plasma. The levels of most of heavy metal were generally below those determined in the other cities in the Middle East. The air enrichment factors for all the samples were analyzed, and the results indicated that Cd, Zn, Co, and Ni were highly enriched relative to their crustal ratios (to Fe) and correspond to substantial contribution of anthropogenic source of these metals. These metals mainly originate from the traffic emissions and industrial activities with contribution from natural sources. The average rates of deposition in Al Ain and Ras Al Khaimah were 193 and 972 mg m?2 day?1, respectively. These rates were higher than those of other regions. 相似文献

The Qurayyah Sabkha is located on the western coast of the Arabian Gulf in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. The current study aims to determine the number of land cover endmembers that can be detected and mapped using Landsat 7 ETM + and ASTER. Furthermore, the study also aims to determine the spatial distribution of fractional abundances of these endmembers. Clastic sediments, calcite dominate sediments, gypsum, vegetation, water, and quartz sand were identified at the surface the Qurayyah Sabkha using Minimum Noise fraction (MNF), Pixel Purity Index (PPI), and n-D Visualization. Results from Matched Filtering (MF) and Linear Spectral Unmixing (LSU) methods showed good match and revealed that the spatial distributions of gypsum, clastic sediments, and quartz sand have nearly similar pattern as determined from Landsat 7 ETM + and ASTER data. These results also show good correspondence between spectra of sample and image. The present results also revealed good matching between the results obtained from MF, LSU, spectral analyses, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). 相似文献

Geochemical assessment of groundwater contamination with special emphasizes on fluoride,a case study from Midyan Basin,northwestern Saudi Arabia 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Water samples for chemical analyses were collected in January 2012. A total of 72 samples of groundwater were collected from 72 boreholes in the Midyan Basin, northwestern Saudi Arabia. Samples were collected in polyethylene bottles and preserved and the used analytical techniques were in accordance with the standard methods from American public health association. Geochemical analyses of the groundwater samples from Midyan Basin reveal the concentration of fluoride (F) between 0.98 and 2.1 mg/l. Other parameters, e.g, pH, EC, TDS, HCO3, SO4, NO3, Cl, K, Na, Mg, and Ca have been found in a variable proportion. Among them, the concentration of EC, HCO3, K, Na and Mg is higher than the permissible limits. According to thermodynamical considerations, most of the analysed samples are graded under-saturated with respect to calcite and fluoride, while saturation has been observed in some samples. The under-saturation could probably be attributed to low concentration of calcite and fluoride in the studied wells. Fluoride concentration shows weak positive correlation with EC, TDS, Na, Cl, and SO4. Factors controlling the concentration of fluoride (F) in the studied samples are the area climate, water chemistry and the presence of accessory minerals in the rocks through which groundwater is circulating, besides the anthropogenic activities in the area. 相似文献
