It is generally assumed that estuarine mixing is continuous for metals from terrestrial sources, gradually decreasing towards the open ocean endmember. Here we show that, chemical reactivity, determined by ion exchange method, and molecular weight distributions, obtained using cross-flow ultrafiltration, of dissolved Cd, Cu, and Ni in the surface waters of the Gulf of Mexico varied systematically across the estuarine mixing zone of the Mississippi River. Most size or chemical affinity fractions of dissolved metals (<0.4 μm) were linearly related to salinity (10.8–36.6), suggesting that the distribution of these elements was mainly controlled by continuous mixing processes. Dissolved concentrations across the salinity gradient ranged for Cd: 87–187 pM; Cu: 1.4–18.3 nM; and Ni: 2.6–18.8 nM, with highest values near the Mississippi river mouth, and lowest concentrations in a warm core ring in the Gulf of Mexico. Dissolved Cd was mostly present as a truly dissolved (<10 kDa, 97 ± 1%) and cationic fraction (Chelex-100 extractable, 94 ± 4%). A novel observation across the estuarine mixing zone was that colloidal metal concentrations were identical to either inert (for Cu, Ni) or AMPG-labile anionic (Cu, Cd) fractions. The difference in behavior between Cu and the other two metals might indicate differences in the biopolymeric nature of the metal–organic chelates. In particular, the anionic-organic Cd fractions accounted for just 3 ± 1%, on average. However, for Cu, it was 24 ± 4%, and for Ni, it was 9 ± 6%. The fractions of the total dissolved metal fractions that were “inert” averaged 31 ± 10% for Cu and 29 ± 12% for Ni. Small but noticeable amounts (6 ± 3%) of dissolved inert Cd fractions were also present. Apparent non-local transport processes, likely associated with cross-shelf sediment resuspension processes, could have been responsible for the relatively high concentrations of ‘inert’ and ‘anionic’ metal fractions in high salinity coastal waters, and accounting for the persistence of metals bound to humic substances in the Gulf of Mexico.  相似文献   

Metal binding by humic acids in recent sediments from the SW Iberian coastal area     

J.M. De la Rosa  M. SantosM.F. Araújo 《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》2011

The concentrations of Cu, Zn, Cr, Ni, Pb, As, Mn and Co were determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma–Mass Spectrometry both in recent sediments from different locations of the Huelva littoral (SW Iberian Peninsula) and in their humic acid (HA) fractions in order to evaluate distribution and binding capacity of those trace elements to HAs. In addition, elemental composition (C, N, S) and δ¹³C values were determined to appraise the sources of organic matter in the area. This study involved the comparison of selected samples taken from different environments including the estuary of the Guadiana River, the main fluvial system of the region, the Tinto and Odiel estuary system and the proximal shelf. Significant positive correlations were found among Cu, Zn, As and Pb in bulk sediments, suggesting a common origin of all of those elements: the mining activities and pyrite deposits located hinterland. On the other hand, results for Cr, Co and Ni pointed to the basic rocks from the low basin of the Guadiana River as their main source. Elemental (C, N) and isotopic (δ¹³C) composition of sediments indicated a significant contribution of autochthonous plankton in coastal shelf sediments, whereas estuarine and riverine sediments showed a major contribution of terrestrial biomass. Geochemical values for their corresponding HAs suggested a greater terrestrial contribution in the sedimentary OM of the coastal shelf sediments than in bulk sediments, which evidenced the influence of coastal currents and sediment fluxes. Humic acids sequester considerable amounts of Cu and Zn contributing to reduce the bioavailability of these contaminants.  相似文献

新城金矿稳定同位素地球化学特征及成矿物质的来源     

姜盛洪 《地质与勘探》2015,51(1):68-78

新城金矿是胶东金矿集区招远—莱州成矿带的一个"焦家式"蚀变型金矿床。本文主要通过C、H、O、S、Pb同位素研究,对新城金矿成矿流体、物质来源和成矿作用进行探讨和研究。新城金矿矿石中δD值范围为-116‰~-91‰,δ18O水值范围为3.8‰~7.2‰,表明成矿流体早期来源于岩浆水,成矿晚期混入大气降水。矿石硫化物、郭家岭花岗闪长岩、玲珑花岗岩和胶东群δ34S平均值分为7.9‰、6.5‰、8.5‰和6.2‰,认为矿石硫具有对矿区地层及岩浆岩硫的继承性。硫化物矿石206Pb/204Pb=17.115~17.414,207Pb/204Pb=15.460~15.577,208Pb/204Pb=37.912~38.196,显示铅具有壳幔混合来源的特征。碳、氢、氧、硫、铅同位素反映新城金矿成矿物质和流体主要来源于深部岩浆。  相似文献

文章在对广西某铅锌矿矿区水文地质条件分析的基础上,采用连通试验对地下水动态特征及其影响因素进行分析评价。实验结果表明,矿山区域地下水流经地下巷道携带大量重金属离子由废旧矿洞口排出地表,地表水流经地表废旧矿渣堆场携带大量污染物和矿洞水汇成溪沟,然后以地表径流方式污染长屯的土壤和水系,最终由长屯南伏流入口汇入洞零水库。尾矿库区域地下水通过地下岩溶管道和溶蚀裂隙向长屯洼地径流,经长屯南伏流入口,汇入洞零水库。  相似文献

夏冬  牛树银  彭玉旋  王磊  杨万志  杨在峰  徐永波 《地质找矿论丛》2015,30(2):174-181

文章简述了新疆地区的地质理论研究成果、矿产地质特征,认为准噶尔、塔里木双亚幔柱是新疆金属矿产呈现"8"字型分布的主要控制因素;双亚幔拉主体形成时期分别为石炭纪和二叠纪。准噶尔亚幔柱斜向天山造山带,塔里木亚幔柱近垂直,前者作用强烈、短暂,后者温和而漫长。准噶尔、塔里木盆地周缘薄弱带与内部构造体制为地幔深源岩浆及后碰撞造山岩浆的上侵提供了通道。天山造山带形成于晚石炭世,它受双亚幔柱挤压隆起作用有限,成矿局部叠加;二叠纪以来,以相对南北向挤压为主,是能源矿产主要形成时期;阿尔金、昆仑等山脉在新近纪快速隆升。基于幔枝构造启示,建议金属矿产地质找矿勘查与石油、煤炭及铀矿地质勘查展开合作,在准噶尔、塔里木两盆地内进行金属矿产综合找矿。  相似文献
