腐殖酸-高岭石胶体对铀(VI)在饱和多孔介质中迁移过程的影响

为探讨可溶性有机质存在条件下黏土矿物胶体对铀（VI）在饱和多孔介质中迁移的影响,选取2种石英砂（细砂和粗砂）分别构建均质构型的石英砂柱,研究了饱和水流条件下腐殖酸存在时高岭石胶体对铀在2种不同粒径石英砂中迁移的影响。结果表明,示踪溶质在2种均质石英砂柱中的穿透曲线相似且分布对称。当在石英砂柱中只通入铀（VI）溶液时,铀（VI）在2种粒径石英砂柱中的穿透量均较小（<25%）,此时大量的铀（VI）通过络合作用吸附在石英砂表面上。当通入溶液中存在腐殖酸和高岭石胶体时,铀（VI）在2种石英砂柱中的穿透量增加,且在600~850 μm石英砂中（58.36%）比250~425 μm石英砂中（42.68%）穿透量更多。这充分表明腐殖酸—高岭石胶体和石英砂粒径是影响铀（VI）在地下环境中迁移的重要因素。     

胶体颗粒对不同粒径饱和多孔介质渗透性的影响

探讨胶体颗粒在多孔介质中迁移所发生的物理、化学及生物作用过程,在许多学科中具有重要的科学意义。采用室内石英砂柱实验,开展了定水头条件下不同浓度和粒径的胶体颗粒在饱和多孔介质中的运移行为研究。共使用了3种胶体粒径、3种浓度的胶体溶液和3种粒径范围的石英砂。实验表明:多孔介质的相对渗透系数K/K0(K为各时刻计算所得的渗透系数,K0为初始渗透系数)减小程度与颗粒浓度成正比;胶体颗粒越大,越易在表层沉积,而小颗粒易向下部迁移,但总体来看粒径效应没有浓度效应明显;当胶体颗粒在不同粒径的饱和多孔介质中迁移时,粒径大的多孔介质各段K/K0均有明显降低,而粒径小的只在表层变化明显。不同条件下总体相对渗透系数与时间之间呈二次方相关关系,但当多孔介质粒径较小时,相关性不显著。介质渗流流速及砂柱不同位置胶体颗粒浓度变化与介质渗透性变化相对应。用扫描电镜(Scanning Electron Microscope,SEM)进行定性表征,进一步说明胶体颗粒会堵塞多孔介质孔隙影响其渗透性。实验中发现当输入浓度C0小于0.5 g·L–1且dp/Dp>0.018(dp为胶体颗粒粒径,Dp为石英砂算数平均粒径)时,会出现多孔介质局部K/K0增大的现象。     

孔隙水流速对胶体在饱和多孔介质中运移的影响

采用室内石英砂柱出流实验和数学模型,研究了流速对自然土壤胶体、蒙脱石胶体和腐殖酸钠胶体在饱和多孔介质中运移的影响。结果表明:孔隙水流速影响着胶体在多孔介质中的运移过程,流速的提高可加速土壤胶体的出流过程,减小蒙脱石胶体和腐殖酸钠胶体的沉积率。胶体的运移过程除受孔隙水流速的影响外,胶体特性的不同亦决定着胶体运移过程的差异,由于胶体表面性质不同,与介质之间的作用力不同,决定了胶体运移过程中的沉积和释放。     

Processes in Pathogenic Biocolloidal Contaminants Transport in Saturated and Unsaturated Porous Media: A Review

There are several classes of subsurface colloids, abiotic and biotic. Basically, small particles of inorganic, organic and pathogenic biocolloids variety exist in natural subsurface system. Transport of these pathogenic biocolloidal contaminants (Viruses, bacteria and protozoa) pose a great risk in water resources and have caused large outbreaks of waterborne diseases. Biocolloid transport processes through saturated and unsaturated porous media is of significant interest, from the perspective of protection of groundwater supplies from contamination, assessment of risk from pathogens in groundwater and for the design of better water treatment systems to remove biocolloids from drinking water supplies This paper has reviewed the large volume of work that has already been done and the progress that has been made towards understanding the various basic multi-processes to predicting the biocolloid transport in saturated and unsaturated porous media. There are several basic processes such as physical, chemical and biological processes which are important in biocolloid transport. The physical processes such as advection, dispersion, diffusion, straining and physical filtration, adsorption and biological processes such as growth/decay processes and include active adhesion/detachment, survival and chemotaxis are strongly affected on biocolloid transport in saturated and unsaturated porous media. The unsaturated zone may play an important role in protecting aquifers from biocolloidal contamination by retaining them in the solid phase during their transport through the zone. Finally, author here highlighted the future research direction based on his critical review on biocolloid transport in saturated and unsaturated porous media.     

生物膜和土壤矿物对人工纳米颗粒在饱和多孔介质传输的影响

本文探究了人工纳米颗粒(NPs)在饱和多孔介质中的传输规律和影响机制，重点阐明生物膜和土壤矿物对纳米颗粒传输的影响及其机制。结果表明，在干净的石英砂介质中，不同种类和粒径NPs的传输效率具有明显差异，不同种类NPs传输效率表现为ZnO> CeO2>Fe2O3；对于报告粒径在20～100 nm之间的CeO2 NPs，粒径的增加有助于其在多孔介质的传输。溶液离子强度的增大会降低Zn O NPs的传输，而NPs浓度的增大不利于其在饱和多孔介质的传输，传统的DLVO理论能够很好地解释NPs在无涂层饱和多孔介质中的传输。生物膜和土壤矿物均能抑制纳米颗粒在饱和多孔介质的传输，其主要通过对纳米颗粒的吸附和异质聚集作用影响纳米颗粒的传输，非DLVO相互作用以及介质涂层的表面特性对增强纳米颗粒沉积有很大贡献。     

A Synoptic Climatological Approach to Assess Climatic Impact on Air Quality in South-central Canada. Part II: Future Estimates

Using within-weather-group air pollution prediction models developed in Part I of this research, this study estimates future air pollution levels for a variety of pollutants (specifically, carbon monoxide – CO, nitrogen dioxide – NO₂, ozone – O₃, sulphur dioxide – SO₂, and suspended particles – SP) under future climate scenarios for four cities in south-central Canada. A statistical downscaling method was used to downscale five general circulation model (GCM) scenarios to selected weather stations. Downscaled GCM scenarios were used to compare respective characteristics of the weather groups developed in Part I; discriminant function analysis was used to allocate future days from two windows of time (2040–2059 and 2070–2089) into one of four weather groups. In Part I, the four weather groups were characterised as hot, cold, air pollution-related, and other (defined as relatively good air quality and comfortable weather conditions). In estimating future daily air pollution concentrations, three future pollutant emission scenarios were considered: Scenario I – emissions decreasing 20% by 2050, Scenario II – future emissions remaining at the same level as at the end of the twentieth century, and Scenario III – emissions increasing 20% by 2050. The results showed that, due to increased temperatures, the average annual number of days with high O₃ levels in the four selected cities could increase by more than 40–100% by the 2050s and 70–200% by the 2080s (from the current areal average of 8 days) under the three pollutant emission scenarios. The corresponding number of low O₃ days could decrease by 4–10% and 5–15% (from the current areal average of 312 days). For the rest of the pollutants, future air pollution levels will depend on future pollutant emission levels. Under emission Scenarios II and III, the average annual number of high pollution days could increase 20–40% and 80–180%, respectively, by the middle and late part of this century. In contrast, under Scenario I, the average annual number of high pollution days could decrease by 10–65%.     

Effect of Composition of Feed Model Systems on Pellet Quality: A Mixture Experimental Approach. I

Formulation is said to be the single most important variable affecting the physical quality of pelleted feeds. Previous investigations have usually focused on the influence of a single ingredient at one time and few have attempted to devise predictive models for pellet quality based on the composition of the rations. A study was conducted to investigate the functional properties of the compositional fractions of corn (starch, protein, fiber, fat) as related to the quality of pellets produced. Overall, a quadratic effect was observed for starch, with a positive response at lower‐ to midrange of inclusion, then assuming a downward curvature as the starch levels approached the higher end of the experimental region. Corn protein and especially fat appeared to have a negative influence on pellet quality. Empirical models were created that partially enabled the prediction of the response when ground yellow dent corn was substituted in the model systems. However, overestimation of the negative effects of fat in some of the models led to lower predicted values compared with actual observations.     

几种物理因素对四氧化三铁纳米颗粒在有机质存在条件下的饱和多孔介质中迁移持留行为的影响

近些年来,环境研究者对纳米颗粒的迁移性进行了部分研究,但是对环境稳定性低、反应活性高的金属氧化物工程纳米颗粒在多孔介质中的运移沉积行为的系统探讨还很不足,尤其是对其在有机质（NOM）存在条件下迁移行为的了解非常有限。本研究选用四氧化三铁磁纳米颗粒（MENPs）作为研究对象,采用填充柱淋溶实验法,对其在饱和多孔介质中的迁移持留行为展开探讨,其目的是考察几种主要介质环境物理因素对其在天然有机质存在条件下的纵向淋溶过程及其在介质中持留量的影响作用。结果显示,不利吸附条件下的MENPs集聚体在多孔介质中的吸附持留及迁移性能取决于多种合力的作用效果。其中,孔隙水流速增大时,MENPs在多孔介质中的迁移性增强,持留性减弱,持留MENPs在介质中的逐层分布随孔隙水流速改变而变化;而且,MENPs在多孔介质中的迁移持留性与介质颗粒的表面物理性质也有关,天然有机质的存在一定程度上可以改善石英砂表面的异质性。另外,介质颗粒粒径大小也是影响MENP-介质间持留机制的重要因子。当多孔介质颗粒粒径大小改变时,MENPs穿透曲线及持留分布曲线随之变化明显,MENPs的吸附沉积机制也相应有所不同。     

Infiltration and Distribution of Elemental Mercury DNAPL in Water-Saturated Porous Media: Experimental and Numerical Investigation

Liquid elemental mercury occurrence in the subsurface as dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) is reported worldwide in proximity of several industrial facilities, such as chlor-alkali plants. Insight into Hg⁰ DNAPL infiltration behavior is lacking and, to date, there are no experimental observations of its infiltration and distribution in water-saturated porous media, except for capillary pressure-saturation column experiments. To better understand the processes governing elemental mercury DNAPL flow behavior, a series of flow container experiments were performed using mercury DNAPL (in sands and glass beads) and tetrachloroethylene (PCE) (in sands). While liquid Hg⁰ was not able to infiltrate in the sand-filled container due to an overall lower permeability of the sample and a defect of the setup, in the glass beads experiment mercury DNAPL infiltration occurred. Dual gamma ray measurements showed that, in glass beads, liquid Hg⁰ preferentially migrated towards higher porosity zones. As for PCE, infiltration and distribution of Hg⁰ DNAPL are strongly affected by the heterogeneities within the porous formation. However, compared to other DNAPLs, liquid Hg⁰ shows a strong attenuation potential of gamma rays. Finally, numerical simulations of the glass beads experiment showed an overall good agreement with the experimental results, highlighting that, among the factors influencing the prediction of liquid Hg⁰ migration in water-saturated porous media, the most critical are (i) the knowledge of the inflow rate, (ii) the reliable estimation of the porous formation permeability, and (iii) the accurate representation of the correlation between retention properties and intrinsic permeability.     

A Geostatistical Approach to Assess Concentration and Spatial Distribution of Heavy Metals in Urban Soils

Characterization of spatial variation of heavy metals in urban soils is essential to identify pollution sources and potential risks to humans and the environment. While heavy metals concentration in soils depends also on the nature of bedrock and on abiotic and biotic factors, it can be argued that nowadays, due to increasing human activities, it is determined mainly by anthropogenic sources. We determined concentrations and spatial distribution of heavy metals, with particular focus on those potentially toxic (As, Cr, Pb, V, and Zn), in urban and peri-urban soils of Cosenza-Rende (southern Italy). One hundred forty-nine samples of topsoil (0?C10?cm) were collected and analyzed for 36 elements by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). In addition, 18 samples of rocks were collected on outcrops of whole area and analyzed by ICP-ES and ICP-MS. Geostatistical methods were used to map the concentrations of major oxides and several minor elements. Heavy metals in the analyzed samples showed a wide range of concentrations, primarily controlled by the geochemical composition of bedrock, with the notable exceptions of Cu, Pb, and Zn, whose concentrations are heavily affected by land use and anthropogenic pollution in urban areas. Geochemical analysis and spatial distribution showed that high concentrations of potentially toxic elements are found in soils near major roads, indicating that anthropogenic factors determine the anomalies in these areas.     

3种烟碱类杀虫剂在土壤中的降解吸附特性及对地下水的影响

采用室内模拟实验方法,以太湖水稻土、江西红壤和东北黑土为代表性土壤,研究了噻虫啉等3种烟碱类杀虫剂在土壤中的降解、吸附特性,并利用GUS（Ground Ubiquity Score）指数分析了其对地下水污染的影响。结果表明,3种烟碱类杀虫剂在3种土壤中均较易降解,降解半衰期在5～31d之间,属于易降解农药,降解特性与土壤理化性质及农药本身性质有关。3种烟碱类杀虫剂在江西红壤、太湖水稻土与东北黑土中的吸附较好地符合Freundlich方程,Kd值在0.30～14.70之间,KOC在42.8～1750.9之间,属难吸附农药。吸附性强弱与农药本身溶解性和土壤有机质含量有关,水溶性越强吸附越弱,有机质含量越高,吸附性越强。3种烟碱类杀虫剂在太湖水稻土中的GUS值均小于1.8,而在江西红壤中,其GUS值均大于1.8,这3种杀虫剂在江西红壤中均有一定的淋溶性,对地下水均有一定的污染风险。     

Arsenic Pollution in the Groundwater of Simav Plain, Turkey: Its Impact on Water Quality and Human Health

In this research, geological and hydrogeological studies were conducted to determine the source of high arsenic levels in the surficial aquifer of Simav Plain, Kutahya, Turkey. One of the two aquifer systems isolated in the study area was a deep confined aquifer composed of fractured metamorphic rocks that supply hot geothermal fluid. The other one was an unconfined alluvial aquifer, which developed within the graben area as a result of sediment deposition from the highlands. This aquifer serves as the primary water resource within the plain. A water quality sampling campaign conducted in 27 wells drilled in the surficial aquifer has yielded an average arsenic concentration of 99.1 µg/L with a maximum of 561.5 µg/L. Rock and sediment samples supported the fact that local metamorphic rocks contained significant amounts of sulfur minerals where arsenic-containing lenses are present inside. It was also determined that a Cu–Pb–Zn mine was operated in the past in the same formation. Arsenic-containing wastes of this mine were deposited near the Simav district center in an uncontrolled manner. This mined formation had arsenic levels reaching to levels as high as 660 mg/kg, which was found out to be the highest arsenic level in the area. Another potential arsenic source in the study area was the geothermal fluid that was used extensively in three geothermal fields with levels reaching to levels as high as 594 µg/L. Uncontrolled discharges of waste geothermal fluid and overexploitation of groundwater were also found to contribute to arsenic pollution in surface/subsurface waters of the plain. Thus, natural sources and anthropogenic influences of arsenic were found to create high concentrations in local water reserves of the area and influence human health. Consequently, death statistics from the 1995 to 2005 period collected from the area has revealed increased rates of gastrointestinal cancers above Turkish average.     

Dissolution of Gibbsite and Its Transformation to Taranakite Depending on the Concentration of Phosphate Anions in the Solution

Structural changes of gibbsite at the binding of phosphate anions from NH₄H₂PO₄ solutions of different concentrations (from 10^–6 to 2 mol P/L) have been studied using an X-ray diffractometer and an electron scanning microscope with a spectrometric microanalyzer. It has been shown that, beginning from a concentration of 10^–3 mol P/L, the binding of phosphate anions has been accompanied by the release of anionic aluminum–phosphate complexes into the liquid phase. The content of these complexes has increased with the phosphate solution concentration and the time of its contact with gibbsite. The treatment of gibbsite with a 1 M phosphate solution for two months has resulted in the pronounced dissolution of the gibbsite crystal surface, accompanied by the formation of ammonium taranakite (ammonium salt of complex aluminophosphoric acid). Successive changes in size and form of the initially formed ammonium taranakite crystal has occurred in a 2 M phosphate solution. The degradation of the layered structure of taranakite and the enrichment of degradation products with phosphorus and nitrogen have been revealed. The significant increase of the P/Al ratios in the degradation products compared to the corresponding ratio in the initially formed taranakite indicates the formation of new phosphate phases resulting from the transformation of taranakite under the impact of free phosphate anions in a high-concentration solution.     

Use of Chlorophyll Meter to Assess the Effect of Nitrogen on Sweet Pepper Development and Growth

Abstract

The evolution of both leaf expansion and chlorophyll content was assessed in potted sweet pepper plants subjected to four different levels of nitrogen (mg N/kg of soil): N1 = 25 (basal dressing); N2 = 50 (basal dressing); N3 = 100 (basal dressing and one side dressing); and, N4 = 150 (basal dressing and two side dressings). In each plant, the first leaves (numbered 1–5) were chosen at the main stem and the next four ramifications. The relative chlorophyll content of leaves 1 to 5, from all treatments, was obtained by a portable chlorophyll meter, SPAD-502, twice a week. The SPAD readings were subsequently converted into total chlorophyll (μ g cm^{? 2}). The plant dry weight, the number of fruits per plant, and the N content of leaves were measured at final harvest (70 d after transplantation, DAT). Until the first side dressing (35 DAT), the increase in chlorophyll content was similar in all treatments, decreasing afterward under the N1 and N2 treatments (leaves 1 and 2), while under the N3 and N4 treatments the increase in the chlorophyll content continued after the first side dressing. The application of the second side dressing (53 DAT) under the N4 treatment induced a subsequent increase in chlorophyll content in all leaves compared with those of N3. An early senescence was observed under the N1 and N2 treatments compared with the others. Applied N in side dressing led to an increase in leaf width (leaves 2–5) and longevity, mainly in leaves 2 and 3, and a subsequent increase under fruit number and fruit dry weight under the N3 and N4 treatments.     

套袋对宁夏引黄灌区红富士苹果果实品质和农药残留的影响

以富士苹果为试材,在宁夏引黄灌区中卫和青铜峡两个苹果主产区研究了套袋对苹果品质及农药残留的影响。结果表明,套袋果光洁度、着色指数、商品果率、含水率均高于不套袋果,而硬度、可溶性固形物、固酸比、花青苷含量则明显低于不套袋果。套袋对果形指数和单果重影响不明显,但有降低果实单果重的趋势;套袋可有效降低果实农药残留,但对提高果实食用安全性的优势并不突出。综合分析,套袋的影响弊大于利,“无袋”栽培将是未来宁夏苹果产业的发展方向。     

采收期对叶城县6个核桃品种品质影响初探

为明确叶城县6个核桃品种（温185、新新2、新丰、扎343、新光和温179）不同采收期果实品质和青果开裂率的变化规律,确定6种核桃在叶城县的适宜采收期,本试验测定了6种核桃样品的外观品质（三径、坚果单重、壳厚、出仁率、径仁率、含水率）和内在品质（脂肪、蛋白质、可溶性糖、维生素E和矿质元素含量）。结果表明,随着采收时间的推迟,6个核桃品种的坚果三径、单果重、出仁率、径仁率呈上升趋势,壳厚、含水率均呈下降趋势,内在品质整体呈上升趋势。温185在9月4日、新新2在9月24日、新丰和扎343在9月14日、新光和温179在9月19日采收的核桃坚果质量、脂肪、蛋白质含量等已基本定型,过早或过晚采收对核桃品质均有影响。相关性分析表明,青果开裂率越大,则果实越大、内在营养物质含量越高,果实青果开裂率可作为判断叶城县6个核桃进入适宜采收期的重要依据。综合上述评价结果表明,温185、新新2、新丰、新光和温179的青果开裂率达75%,扎343的青果开裂率达55%为适宜的采收期。本研究结果为叶城县6种核桃采收后深加工、贮藏以及进一步划分果实等级提供了理论依据。
