The distributions of dissolved and of particulate iron in the Dead Sea during the period which preceeded its overturn and thereafter (1977–1980) are reported. During 1977–1978, the vertical profiles of the iron phases revealed facets of the mixing pattern: the progressive deepening of the pycnocline, restricted mixing within the upper water mass and penetration of surface waters into the deepest layer. The inventories of particulate iron suggest resuspension of bottom sediments in November 1978 and after the overturn the gradual disappearance from the water column of iron sulfides and iron oxy-hydroxides. Fluxes of iron from and to the lake in the undisturbed meromictic Dead Sea have been estimated: it appears that diffusion of divalent iron from bottom sediments was the major source for the standing crop of iron in the lower water mass. Low settling velocities of solid particles in the dense and viscous Dead Sea is one of the causes for the relatively large concentrations of particulate iron. The rate constant for oxidation of divalent iron in Dead Sea sediment interstitial waters is larger by two orders of magnitude than in other natural waters. 相似文献

High resolution chemical data collected during summer 2003 indicate that the lower water mass (LWM) of the thermally stratified
Lake Kinneret (LK) can be subdivided into three layers: a benthic boundary layer (BBL), overlain by the hypolimnion (HYP),
and on top, the lower part of the metalimnion (ME-L). After onset of thermal stratification, the BBL is the first layer that
turns anoxic, followed shortly afterward by the ME-L, while the HYP remains oxic and has relatively higher pH until later
in summer. Thus, during the early summer, the HYP forms an oxygen-containing layer in-between two DO-deficient layers. Somewhat
later, the HYP is characterized by still having significant levels of nitrate NO3, while in both adjacent layers nitrate is already removed through denitrification. The mechanisms controlling the gradual
decline of dissolved oxygen (DO) in the HYP during the summer were studied. The seasonal mean lake-wide vertical eddy diffusion
coefficient in this layer, evaluated from heat flux measurements, is approximately 4 × 10−6 m2 s−1. The vertical oxygen flux due to diffusion from within the HYP toward its oxygen-deficient upper and lower boundaries accounts
for most of the slow summer decline in DO in this layer. A smaller portion of this decline can be attributed to in-layer respiratory
processes. The low turbidity, relatively high pH, and slow accumulation rate of NH4 in the HYP support the notion that the slower mineralization processes occurring in this layer result from relatively low
ambient concentrations of biodegradable organic matter, most probably due to the short residence time of the particles settling
through this layer. 相似文献

The physiological and biochemical characteristics of tissue samples of the marine mussel, Donax trunculus, from an oil-polluted site (Qiryat Yam) and from a site adjacent to an industrial factory (Frutarom) producing polyvinyl chloride (PVC) were compared with samples from a clean reference site (Akko). All sites were located along the sandy shores of the Israeli Mediterranean Sea. The mussels from the oil-polluted site showed increased activity of the system of active transport of organic anions (SATOA) in the gills and the renocardial organ and also of the multixenobiotic resistance transporter (MXR) in the gills. In contrast, samples collected near the PVC factory showed a decrease in SATOA activity and no increase in the activity of MXR in the gills. Specimens from the reference site demonstrated a redox state of equilibrium between energy production and utilization, while in Donax from both the oil polluted and the PVC-polluted sites, the mitochondrial redox state reflected intensive consumption of energy. No significant changes were found in the activity of reduced glutathione s-transferase (GST) in the cytosolic fraction of the digestive gland of Donax collected from any of the three sites. The data demonstrate a differential increase in the anti-chemical defense systems and an intensification of energy metabolism in the mussels exposed to pollution. 相似文献

Manganese-rich encrustations along the modern shoreline of the Dead Sea are of three kinds: (a) Black laminae, ranging in thickness from 0.1 mm to 4 mm, alternating with aragonite layers which form continous hard crusts on pebbles and boulders (b) Thin black laminae in laminated muds found in very shallow waters. (c) Thin black laminae, alternating with aragonite and gypsum, surrounding partially submerged tree trunks.
No identifiable X-ray diffraction pattern was obtained in the black layers. SEM studies revealed discrete, shapeless manganese-rich aggregates embedded in an aragonitic matrix. The black laminae consist of approximately 75% aragonite, 15% insoluble residue (mostly quartz), and about 10% manganese-rich fraction. Chemical analyses of the isolated manganese-rich fraction gave up to 50% manganese, and less than 1% iron.
Profiles of dissolved manganese in interstitial water show a two-fold enrichment of manganese as compared with the overlying water, with a particularly high concentration (18 mg/l) at the sediment—water interface. This is interpreted to be due to release of manganese from solid phases in the reduced sediments, and upward migration of dissolved manganese in interstitial water, and oxidation to insoluble tetravalent manganese at the interface with the oxygen-containing water.
The manganese-rich crusts were formed below the water table and were deposited no later than 350 years and possibly sooner. 相似文献

The most important source of dissolved manganese, Mn(II), to the Dead Sea is by upward diffusion from bottom sediments. This source contributes about 80 tons of Mn(II) each year. The concentration of dissolved manganese in the Dead Sea is extraordinarily high (7.03 mg 1?1). It appears that the content (some 1.026 × 106 tons) of dissolved manganese in the sea has remained constant during 1977–1979, although oxygen was introduced into deeper layers during the deepening of the pycnocline (1977–1978) and during the overturn of its water masses in the winter of 1978/79. The rate of oxidation of Mn(II) in Dead Sea water is extremely slow hence Mn(II) may practically be considered as the stable form of Mn in Dead Sea waters. Dilution by fresh water causes a pH rise and may facilitate faster oxidation of the dissolved divalent manganese. It is shown here that the shape of the Mn(II) profile, observed in the lake during 1963, may have developed by oxidation of Mn(II) in the more diluted upper layers and subsequent reduction of the oxidation products in the anoxic and more saline deeper layers during 260 years of continuous meromixis. 相似文献
