Heavy Metal Transport from Dredged Sediment Derived Surface Soils in a Laboratory Rainfall Simulation Experiment

Heavy metals in dredged sedimentdisposal sites may be transported through runoff andpercolation. In the present study metal fluxes byrunoff and percolation were determined under simulatedrainfall at a slope of 19% and a rainfall intensityof approximately 40 mm h^-1. These circumstancescorrespond to half the mean annual erosivity of rainunder Belgian weather conditions. Surface runoff andpercolating water samples were analysed for suspendedsolids, total dissolved carbon and Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn.Runoff rate and sediment yields were highest for asilt loam sediment, characterised by a low clay andorganic matter content. Metal concentrations in runoffand percolating water varied widely between thesediments studied and were related to the total metalcontent in the sediment. In runoff and percolatingwater from the contaminated sediments, metalconcentrations strongly exceeded the Netherlands Areference values for ground water quality. Very highmetal fluxes were observed for the recently oxidiseddredged sediment. Metal transport per unit surfacearea through percolating water was from two to morethan twenty times greater than that in surface runoff.     

Water-Sediment Exchange of Nutrients During Early Diagenesis and Resuspension of Anoxic Sediments from the Northern Adriatic Sea Shelf

This paper presents the results of a study on nutrient exchange at the sediment-water interface which is caused by early diagenesis and resuspension of bottom sediments. The research was carried out on anoxic silty-clay sediment cores collected south of the Po river delta (Northern Adriatic Sea, Italy) in late summer. The early diagenetic processes were investigated by means of the integrated study of pore-water chemistry and solid phase composition. Exchange at the sediment-water interface was studied by comparing the fluxes measured in incubated cores with the fluxes calculated by modelling pore-water profiles. Nutrient exchange during resuspension was analysed by simulating a storm event in the laboratory. The high production of nutrients near the sediment-water interface is mainly caused by the anoxic degradation of organic matter and the successive reductions of Mn and Fe-oxyhydroxides and, to a lesser extent, of sulphate. The oxic degradation of organic matter occurs only at the sediment-water interface. In the incubation experiment the increases of phosphate, ammonia, nitrate, silica, and Fe in bottom waters were measured. The comparison between calculated and measured fluxes showed that: a) the fluxes are mainly controlled by molecular diffusion; b) phosphate and Fe sink because of the Fe-oxyhydroxide precipitation and nitrification process influences the ammonia and nitrate fluxes. Resuspension caused the release of: a) phosphate through surficial desorption and authigenic apatite dissolution; b) ammonia by means of the oxic degradation of organic matter; and c) dissolved silica generated by biogenic silica dissolution. Resuspension also caused a weak removal of Fe. The more oxic conditions following resuspension favoured the formation of a Fe-oxyhydroxide film at the sediment-water interface which inhibited the phosphate fluxes from sediments to the water column.     

Phytoextraction and Accumulation of Lead from Contaminated Soil by Vetiver Grass: Laboratory and Simulated Field Study

A soil-culture study was conducted to investigate the phytoextraction of lead (Pb) in two species of vetiver grass (Vetiveria zizanioides and V. nemoralis) irrigated with an increasing level of Pb(NO₃)₂ (5, 7, 9 and 11 g L^-1) for 12 weeks. In a laboratory study, the removalof lead from soil was correlated with lead accumulation by roots and shoots of both species of vetiver grass. High concentration of lead (9—11 g L^-1) resulted in decrease of growth, total chlorophyllcontent and biomass of V. zizanioides, while V. nemoralis died after one week of application. Toxicity symptoms (e.g., burning leaf margins, shoot die back) occurred in vetiver grass at a high concentration of lead. Based on the data V. zizanioides tolerated and accumulated the greatest amount of lead most effectively. A simulated field experiment was conducted to examine the efficiency of vetiver grass in removing lead from contaminated soil. The vetiver grasses, V. zizanioides and V. nemoralis, were grown in soil contaminated with Pb(NO₃)₂ (5, 7, 9, and 11 g L^-1) for 3 months. The removal of lead from soil was correlated with lead accumulation by roots and shoots of both grass species. The grass roots took up more lead than the shoots. V. zizanioides could uptake more lead from soil than V. nemoralis. The effects of lead on the biomass of V. zizanioides and V. nemoralisshowed that in both species, the biomass was decreased when the lead concentration was increased. In comparison, V. zizanioidesshowed greater biomass than V. nemoralis.     

四平市条子河底泥中重金属特征研究

通过1987-1995年对对四平市条子河底泥和水质的同步监测,指出四平市条子河底泥中重金属含量较高,污染河段底泥中重金属的含量比背景含量要高出1～3.97倍,年际变化出现波状起伏的特征。底泥的含量受到河流水质的酸（碱）特性和氧化特征的影响,同时受区域环境背景的影响和工业废物排放的影响。控制条子河底泥中重金属含量应采取化学和生态重建与修复的措施。     

Phosphorus Entrainment Due to Resuspension in a Lowland River, Spree, NE Germany – A Laboratory Microcosm Study

Resuspension of benthic phosphorus (P) often constitutes a high percentage of the annual P flux in lowland rivers. To study P entrainment at controlled shear velocity (u*) sediment from lowland River Spree of slower flowing (0.1–0.3 m s^?1) stretch Kossenblatt (KOB) and of faster flowing (0.5–0.7 m s^?1) stretch Freienbrink (FRB) was incubated in a microcosm at incrementally enhanced u* (0.34–1.9 cm s^?1). Particle and P entrainment rates as well as the number of particle-associated bacteria of fine-grained mud-like KOB sediment were much higher (16.7 g m^?2 h^?1, 104.9 mg P m^?2 h^?1, 15.47 10⁶ cells ml^?1) than those (4.3 g m^?2 h^?1, 2.1 mg P m^?2 h^?1, 3.06 10⁶ cells ml^?1) of coarser sandy FRB sediment. The microcosm used so far in marine research is suited to compare riverine resuspension suggesting the lower u* the more particles are deposited and the more P can be retained (KOB ? FRB). Conversely, correspondingly more and easier particulate P and bacteria can again be remobilised (KOB ? FRB) if u* increases. The general relationship found for u* and the entrainment of particulate P and bacteria as well as their decelerated and selective deposition where bacteria may stay longer in the water implies a temporarily enhanced P bioavailability, turnover and subsequent P transformations.

Bioaccessibility of Zinc in Estuarine Sediment Contaminated by Tire Wear Particles

The bioaccessibility of Zn in tire wear particles (TWP) has been studied in incubations in the presence of estuarine sediment and solutions that mimic the digestive chemistry of sediment-ingesting invertebrates. Sea water solutions of the protein bovine serum albumin (BSA), a surrogate for digestive amino acids, released about 2?% of total Zn from sediment?CTWP preparations (in ratios of 100:1, 12:1 and 6:1) after a 5-h period. Although sodium taurocholate, a surrogate of digestive surfactancy, released quantities of Zn that were not always greater than those released by a sea water control, addition of taurocholate to BSA in sea water enhanced Zn release by solutions of the protein alone. Time courses of Zn release by BSA, with or without taurocholate, conformed to a diffusion-controlled reaction, with rate constants ranging from about 0.1 to 2?mg?L^?1?h^?1/2. Results of the study suggest that sediment-ingesting invertebrates inhabiting coastal environments impacted by urban runoff are instrumental to the mobilisation of Zn.     

不同钝化剂对Cu、Cr和Ni复合污染土壤的修复研究

利用盆栽试验研究了不同钝化剂(沸石、牡蛎壳、鸡蛋壳、硅藻土和聚丙烯酰胺(PAM))对生长在重金属污染土壤上的青菜(Brassica chinensis L.)生物量、重金属吸收以及超氧化物歧化酶的活性(SOD)和丙二醛(MDA)含量的影响,同时,通过对土壤p H和土壤重金属提取态的分析,探讨了钝化剂影响青菜生物量和重金属吸收的可能原因。结果表明:钝化剂加入可显著降低青菜地上部分Cu、Zn、Ni和Cd的含量及其氧化性损伤和脂膜损伤(SOD和MDA指标显著降低)。施入钝化剂后,土壤p H显著提高,重金属提取态Cu、Zn、Pb、Ni和Cd普遍降低(硅藻土处理除外)。相关性分析表明,土壤p H与提取态重金属Pb、Zn、Ni和Cd呈显著的负相关,而青菜中的重金属Zn、Ni和Cd的含量与土壤提取态含量呈显著正相关。综合考虑,单一钝化剂牡蛎壳和沸石+牡蛎壳+鸡蛋壳(FMJ)组合对降低青菜重金属吸收的效果尤为显著,可推荐作为重金属复合污染土壤的改良剂。本研究为重金属中轻度污染菜地的土壤修复提供了一种新方法。     

Laboratory Study of Stormwater Biofiltration in Low Temperatures: Total and Dissolved Metal Removals and Fates

Stormwater biofilters, which are recommended for application in both Water-Sensitive Urban Design and Low Impact Development, can remove up to 80% or 90% of total metals found in stormwater. However, their winter operation is a common concern. That was addressed in this study by investigating the metal removal effectiveness of replicate laboratory biofilter mesocosms at 2°C, 8°C and 20°C. As recommended for cold climate bioretention, coarse filter media were implemented and in the top 100 mm layer topsoil was added to increase the sorption capacity. Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn concentrations measured in the biofilter effluent were far below those in the influent and this significantly improved the treated stormwater quality. Contrary to a common notion that coarse media in the main filter body impair dissolved metal sorption, satisfactory removals of dissolved metals were found in this study with most metal burdens retained in the top layer of the filter in which the sorption capacity was enhanced by topsoil. Some metal uptake by the plants was also detected. Temperature did not affect Cd, Pb and Zn removals in general, but Cu removals increased with decreasing temperatures. This was explained by increased biological activities in the filters at warmer temperatures, which may have led to an increased release of Cu with dissolved organic matter originating from root turnover and decomposition of organic litter and debris. Furthermore, plant uptake and biofilm adsorption may also be influenced by temperature. However, even in the worst case (i.e. at 20°C), Cu was removed effectively from the stormwater. Further research needs were identified including the effects of road salts on stormwater biofiltration during the winter period.

为了探明龙须草种植对重金属污染土壤的影响,利用盆栽培养试验研究某矿业废弃地污染土壤对龙须草生长的影响,分析了龙须草生长90d,180d,270d和360d时土壤营养成分、重金属镉铅含量、微生物生物量和酶活性等的变化,以不种植龙须草为对照。结果表明,随着龙须草的生长,土壤镉铅总量和有效态含量均呈下降趋势,生长1a后土壤镉铅的有效态含量分别下降了28%和15%,但与对照相比无显著差异。土壤营养成分、微生物生物量和酶活性呈上升趋势,且与对照差异显著。与试验前相比,龙须草生长组有机质含量提高了1.5倍,全氮、全磷、全钾、速效磷和速效钾含量分别上升了7.6%,3.1%,10.2%,11.4%和11.2%。土壤微生物生物量碳、氮、磷、土壤转化酶、脲酶、酸性磷酸酶和过氧化氢酶活性分别增加了0.9倍,1.1倍,3.0倍,1.1倍,0.4倍,0.3倍和0.5倍。各指标相关性分析表明,土壤营养成分、微生物生物量和酶活性之间呈正相关,而与重金属含量呈负相关。说明龙须草对重金属污染土壤有一定的修复作用,具有较大的应用潜力。     

Assessment of Metal Availability in a Contaminated Soil by Sequential Extraction

A contaminated soil from Pieve Vergonte (Piedmont, Italy) has been investigated in order to point out the availability and extractability of a series of metal ions and consequently their potential release into other environmental compartments. A sequential extraction procedure has been adopted in order to subdivide total concentrations into five operational fractions with different potential toxicity. A chemometric analysis has been used for the characterization of similarities or differences of behaviour. High concentrations of the main pollutants, namely Cu, Pb and Zn, were extracted into the exchangeable, carbonate-bound/specifically adsorbed and Fe-Mn oxide bound fractions, showing the risk of release of these metals into the environment. A remobilization of Cr, Mn and Ni could also take place, but to a lesser extent. The other investigated metals (Al, Fe, La, Sc, V, Ti and Y) were mainly bound to the residual and, in some samples, to the Fe-Mn oxide bound fractions. The high availability of several potentially toxic metals shows that the soil needs remediation.     

酶强化茶皂素修复重金属污染土壤的研究

以多种重金属污染的土壤为材料,研究了生物酶、茶皂素和两者组合等处理方式对重金属的去除效果。结果表明:酶和茶皂素对土壤中重金属有良好的去除效果,起到协同、互补作用。采用响应面法优化反应条件,得到p H值4.0、反应温度35℃、茶皂素溶液和酶溶液配比3∶1的最佳淋洗修复条件,此时Cd、Cr、Cu、Ni、Zn去除率分别为88.87%、81.64%、43.33%、47.16%、62.03%,去除率的大小顺序为CdCrZnNiCu。酶与茶皂素组合淋洗液能有效去除酸提取态、可还原态和可氧化态的重金属,表明组合液在重金属污染土壤修复方面具有较好的应用前景。     

共培养对土壤重金属污染植物修复的调控作用

A co-culture of two plant materials, Astragalus sinicus L., a leguminous plant with concomitant nodules, and Elsholtzia splendens Naki-a Cu accumulator, along with treatments of a chelating agent (EDTA), root excretions (citric acid), and a control with E. splendens only were used to compare the mobility of heavy metals in chelating agents with a co-culture and to determine the potential for co-culture phytoremediation in heavy metal contaminated soils. The root uptake for Cu, Zn, and Pb in all treatments was significantly greater (P < 0.05) than that of the control treatment. However with translocation in the shoots, only Cu, Zn, and Pb in plants grown with the EDTA treatment and Zn in plants co-cropped with the A. sinicus treatment increased significantly (P < 0.05). In addition, when a co-culture in soils with heavy and moderate contamination was compared, for roots in moderately contaminated soils only Zn concentration was significantly less (P < 0.05) than that of heavily contaminated soils, however, Cu, Zn, and Pb concentrations of shoots were all significantly lower (P < 0.05). Overall, this "co-culture engineering" could be as effective as or even more effective than chelating agents, thereby preventing plant metal toxicity and metal leaching in soils as was usually observed in chelate-enhanced phytoremediation.     

调控剂对锌镉污染土壤植物修复效率及后茬蔬菜重金属吸收的影响

采用盆栽试验,在连续12年高量施用污泥有机肥引起的Zn、Cd污染土壤上种植伴矿景天,并向土壤中添加亚氨基二琥珀酸(IDS)、乙二胺二琥珀酸三钠(EDDS)、硫磺等化学调控剂及稳定剂钙镁磷肥,研究调控剂对伴矿景天吸收Zn、Cd及施用钙镁磷肥对后茬蔬菜重金属污染风险的影响,以期探索出既可提高超积累植物重金属吸取修复效率又能降低后茬农作物重金属污染风险的植物修复模式.结果表明,施用120 mmol/kg硫粉(Sed+S)处理可显著增加伴矿景天地上部生物量,分别比未加调控剂的对照处理伴矿景天(Sed)、伴矿景天添加有机调控剂(Sed+OE)处理增加34.7％和47.9％.施用3 mmol/kg IDS则显著降低了伴矿景天地上部Cd浓度,比Sed处理降低了35.5％.施用钙镁磷肥稳定剂可有效降低后茬蔬菜苋菜体内Zn、Cd浓度,降幅为57％、63％,施用4 g/kg钙镁磷肥后土壤醋酸铵提取态Zn、Cd分别较对照降低66.1％、72.4％.可见,适当施用硫肥能促进伴矿景天的生长,添加钙镁磷肥降低土壤有效态重金属浓度,减少后茬作物污染风险.

土壤重金属生物淋滤修复过程中廉价碳源的筛选研究

在室内模拟实验条件下,重点研究了一步和二步生物淋滤过程中黑曲霉利用各种廉价碳源替代蔗糖产酸修复重金属污染土壤的效果。结果发现,杨树叶、桃树叶、土豆皮去除重金属效果较好。其中杨树叶对冶炼厂土壤中重金属去除率分别为Cu63．5％、Cd100％、Pb16．8％和Zn27％;桃树叶去除效果分别为Cu61．8％、Cd100％、Pb14．6％和Zn28．5％;土豆皮去除效果分别为Cu61％、Cd100％、Pb10．6％和Zn34％。廉价碳源的使用可降低污染土壤生物淋滤修复成本。     

生物炭复配矿物质钝化修复重金属复合污染土壤的研究

选取稻壳生物炭、木屑生物炭、羟基磷灰石及蒙脱石作为钝化材料,按钝化剂5:土壤100的重量比添加到重金属复合污染土壤中,通过测定土壤重金属形态变化,研究了钝化材料修复重金属复合污染土壤的效果及其机理。结果表明:生物炭和矿物质均能有效固定土壤中重金属,其中羟基磷灰石的钝化效果最好,对土壤镉、铜和铅的固定化率分别为76.24%、74.26%和98.13%。蒙脱石的钝化效果最差。添加钝化剂后土壤重金属中的酸可提取态和可还原态向着更加稳定的可氧化态和残渣态转化,土壤重金属活性态比例下降。生物炭复配矿物质处理对土壤重金属的钝化效果介于单一生物炭处理和单一矿物质处理之间。此外,生物炭及矿物质均能有效地提高土壤pH,pH可能是影响土壤修复效果的关键因素。     

黄河中游多沙粗沙区水土保持减沙的近期趋势及其成因

本研究以1950～1997年的长系列水文资料和面雨量资料,分析了黄河中游河口镇至龙门区间年输沙量和年降水量的时间变化趋势,发现在1970年以来多沙粗沙区入黄泥沙量减少的总体背景之上,出现了1986～1997年间入黄泥沙量增加的近期趋势。这一增加趋势,与20世纪80年代以后淤地坝修建量大为减少,70年代修建的淤地坝与拦沙库容已大部分失效有密切关系。此外,90年代人为增沙量大幅度增加,已占水土保持减沙量的22%左右,部分抵消了水土保持措施的减沙效益,这也是90年代入黄泥沙增加的重要原因。针对存在的问题提出了若干对策建议。     

高羊茅对河道底泥中复合重金属污染的修复

为了治理河道底泥中复合重金属的污染,利用栽培试验研究高羊茅对底泥中复合重金属污染的修复情况。研究发现,高羊茅种植3个月后对底泥中Cr、Cd、Cu、Zn、Mn、Ni污染有较好的去除效果,此时底泥中大部分重金属含量达到最小值,但对Pb的去除效果不明显。重金属去除率的大小顺序为:Cr>Cd>Cu>Zn>Mn>Ni。对底泥中Cr的去除效果最好,去除率高达61.44%。Ni、Zn、Cr、Cu、Mn均在根部的累积量最大,其次是叶和茎。Cd被高羊茅吸收后,主要累积在叶和茎部。从富集系数和转移系数来看,高羊茅尤其适于对Cd和Zn污染的修复。脱氢酶活性在高羊茅种植的过程中表现为先升高后降低,在种植3个月后酶活性达到最高,且脱氢酶活性与重金属浓度均呈负相关关系,其对重金属污染较为敏感。高羊茅根际底泥中微生物种群数量为细菌>放线菌>真菌,对环境的适应能力表现为真菌>细菌>放线菌。     

Metal Accumulation by Woody Species on Contaminated Sites in the North of France

Metal accumulation was investigated in a range of woody species that were planted on Cd-, Zn- and Pb- polluted sites in North of France. The study is unique in that we directly compare a large number of woody species (25). The highest accumulation of Zn and Cd was found in the Salicaceae family members with up to 950 mg Zn kg^?1 dry weight (DW) and 44 mg Cd kg^?1 DW in leaves of Populus tremula × Populus tremuloides. Zn content was positively correlated with Cd content, both in leaves and stems. Pb concentration was generally low and was species-independent. Oak and birch species accumulated more Mn as compared to other woody species. A seasonal variation in metal accumulation could be found. Although soil compositions and metal bioavailabilities differed amongst the experimental sites chosen in this study, variation of metal concentrations within a given species was small. High bioconcentration factors for poplar and willow suggested the high potential of these species over other woody species for metal accumulation. Taken together, these data suggest that poplar and willow species are good candidates for phytoremediation programmes.
