中草药及其生长土壤中6种重金属元素含量相关性初探

采用电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱法测定了中草药中重金属元素(铁、锰、铜、锌、镉、铅)的含量,并对中草药的生长环境土壤中重金属元素的化学形态及其分布进行了研究。文中提出了中草药样品用硝酸-过氧化氢-水(5+2+1)混合溶液消解,并叙述了土壤样品中元素的各种形态(水溶态、可溶态、碳酸盐结合态、铁锰氧化物态、有机质结合态)的提取方法和试液。结果表明:所测中草药中重金属元素含量明显低于土壤中元素的含量;土壤中铁、锌、铜主要以有机质结合态存在,锰以铁锰氧化物态为主。几种药材中均含有较高量的铁、锰、锌,土壤中也含有较高量的有效态铁、锰、锌,说明中草药与土壤中重金属之间存在有生物迁移作用。     

海湾河口表层沉积物中重金属形态连续萃取方法的优化研究

采用单一萃取程序对建立的重金属形态连续萃取方法的萃取条件进行优化.分别以Ca和Mg、Fe、有机质(OM)和酸可挥发性硫(AVS)作为萃取剂释放酸溶态、还原态、有机质结合态和硫化物结合态等重金属目标形态的表征参量,考察萃取剂对相应目标形态的萃取能力和选择性.分别根据表征参量和重金属在萃取溶液中的含量变化确定最优萃取时间和萃取样液比.结果表明,优化萃取条件后,萃取剂对目标形态重金属均有很强的释放能力.酸溶态萃取剂对其它非残留态影响很小;还原态萃取剂除对酸溶态有少量提取外,对其它形态影响较小;有机质结合态萃取剂对硫化物结合态有少量萃取,对其它形态影响较小.硫化物结合态在酸溶态、还原态和有机质结合态之后萃取,避免了对这三种形态的影响.优化后的连续萃取方法对重金属形态有较好的选择性,可对海湾和河口表层沉积物中重金属的目标形态进行较为合理地分离和评价.     

成都经济生态区大气降尘中镉赋存形态的研究

采用Tessier连续提取法对成都经济生态区不同区域的24个大气降尘样中镉的赋存形态进行了研究。研究结果表明,大气降尘中的镉主要以残留态形态存在;各形态镉在总镉中所占百分比含量由大到小排列顺序依次是:残留态,碳酸盐结合态,交换态,铁锰结合态,有机结合态;交换态镉、碳酸盐结合态镉这两种具有较高生物有效性的形态镉在总镉中所占的平均百分比含量分别是6.420%和8.917%;铁锰氧化物结合态、有机结合态、残留态镉这三种形态镉生物有效性很低,分别在总镉中所占的平均百分比含量分别是3.419%、2.365%和78.907%。通过分析可得出,汽油和煤的燃烧以及工厂排放镉能加大城市大气降尘的镉污染。

Adsorption of phthalic acid and salicylic acid and their effect on exchangeable Al capacity of variable-charge soils

Low-molecular-weight (LMW) organic acids may be adsorbed by soils and the adsorption could affect their biodegradation and efficiency in many soil processes. In the present study, the adsorption of phthalic acid and salicylic acid and their effect on the exchangeable Al capacity of variable-charge soils were investigated. The results indicated that phthalic acid and salicylic acid were adsorbed by four variable-charge soils to some extent, oxisols showed a greater adsorption capacity for organic acids than ultisols, and the ability of the four variable-charge soils to adsorb the organic acids at different pH generally followed the order Kunming oxisol > Xuwen oxisol > Jinxian ultisol > Lechang ultisol, which was closely related to their content of free iron oxides and amorphous iron and aluminum oxides. The adsorption of organic acids induced a decrease in the zeta potentials of soils and oxides. Goethite has greater adsorption capacity for organic acid than Xuwen oxisol and the adsorption of organic acids resulted in a bigger decrease in the zeta potential of goethite suspensions. After free iron oxides were removed, less organic acid was adsorbed by Xuwen oxisol and no change was observed in zeta potential for the soil suspension after organic acid was added. The presence of phthalic acid increased the capacity of exchangeable Al and the increment in the four variable-charge soils also followed the order Kunming oxisol > Xuwen oxisol > Lechang ultisol and Jinxian ultisol. The presence of salicylic acid increased the capacity of exchangeable Al in Kunming oxisol, Xuwen oxisol, and Jinxian ultisol, but decreased it in Lechang ultisol due to less adsorption of the acid and formation of soluble Al-salicylate complexes in solution. After free iron oxides were removed, less effect of organic acid on exchangeable Al was observed for Xuwen oxisol, which further confirmed that the iron oxides played a significant role in organic acid adsorption and had a consequent effect on the capacity of exchangeable Al in variable-charge soils. Therefore, the higher the content of iron oxides, the greater the adsorption of organic acids by soils and the greater the increase in soil exchangeable Al induced by the organic acids.     

Geochemical variability of copper and iron in Oman Margin sediments

An analysis of the geochemical distribution of selected trace metals among various geochemical phases of the sediments in the Oman Margin was carried out using a sequential extraction technique. The present study showed that most Cu in abyssal sediment is associated with only oxidisable mainly organic and sulphide bound metals with insignificant bound to exchangeable, carbonates, easily/moderately reducible fraction. The preservation of Cu in the sediments indicates the importance of primary production and upwelling in the overlying waters and an organic flux in the sedimentary deposition of open-ocean environments. The early diagenetically formed oxidisable mainly organic and sulphide fraction are not degraded and results in a pronounced association of Cu with organic fraction in the sediments of the Oman continental margin. The strong correlation between Cu, TOC and Fe oxides associated with the oxidisable fraction in one of the core indicates that it is likely to be the presence of sulphides.     

煎煮对几种特色南药中重金属元素含量和形态影响

考察了几种特色南药中重金属(Cd,Cr,Cu,Fe,Mn,Ni,Pb,Sr,Zn)的含量状况,并采用形态连续萃取法分析重金属在药材中的形态分布,研究了药材煎煮时药材中重金属的释放及煎煮过程对药材中重金属形态分布的影响。结果表明,几种南药中Cr,Pb,Zn的含量较高,且巴戟天中的重金属总量高于限量标准;原药材中Cr,Cu,Mn,Ni,Pb和Zn主要存在于有机态和残留态,Fe和Sr主要存在于残留态。煎煮使南药中大量重金属迁移到药汤中;药汤中Cu,Mn,Cr,Pb和Zn主要来自于其在药材中的可交换态、碳酸盐结合态和有机态,而药汤中Sr,Ni和Fe不仅包含其非残留态,更多来自于它们的残留态。为减少药汤中重金属,对于Cu,Mn,Cr,Pb和Zn既要控制在药材中的总量,且需降低它们在药材中的非残留态含量;对于Fe,Ni和Sr则主要是控制其在药材中的总量。     

Selective leaching of elements associated with Mn - Fe oxides in forest soil, and comparison of two sequential extraction methods

For selective dissolution of Mn oxides as components of soil (easily reducible oxides) 0.05 mol L(-1) and 0.1 mol L(-1) NH2OH.HCl acidified to pH 2 and for dissolution of Fe oxides (crystalline form of the oxides) 0.25 mol L(-1) NH2OH.HCl in 25% acetic acid, 0.2 mol L(-1) oxalate buffer and 0.1 mol L(-1) ascorbic acid in oxalate buffer were tested. Dissolved elements were determined by ICP-MS and ICP-OES. The studies indicate that the use of 0.05 mol L(-1) NH2OH.HCl in nitric acid solution (pH 2) and 0.1 mol L(-1) ascorbic acid in 0.2 mol L(-1) oxalate buffer led to selective leaching of trace metals bound by Mn and Fe oxide phases in soil. Comparison of different extraction schemes indicates that the trace elements investigated are mainly bound to minerals consisting of crystalline Fe oxides and insoluble minerals (under the extraction conditions used). The studies also indicate that Mn oxides and organic matter retain a major mobile fraction of the elements investigated in the soil.     

Determination of Trace Metal Species in the Suspended Matter of Riverine and Estuarine Waters

A sequential extraction technique was used to determine the chemical species of six metals (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd) in suspended matter of the Kaoping and Tsengwen river basins. The samples were taken to cover the fresh and marine characteristics. The precision of the species determination was estimated by the relative difference between the concentration of total metal and the sum concentation of the five species. The accuracy for the measurement of total metal was examined from the recovery of metal spiking. The accuracy of the total determination is better than 94% and the precision of speciation is greater than 90%. Most of the studied metals were found in the Fe-Mn oxides and residual fractions except that Cd, Zn and Cu have significant amounts in the exchangeable, carbonate, and organic matter phases, respectively. Species other than residual fraction are generally considered as potentially available for biota in aquatic systems, and in most cases, metal pollution could be reflected from the variation of fraction distributions.     

Polydisperse adsorbability composition of several natural and synthetic organic matrices

The polydisperse composition of nine dissolved organic materials (DOMs) from two river water sources, one ground water source, two biologically treated wastewater sources, and two commercial sources was analyzed based on their adsorbabilities by activated carbon. For each DOM, batch adsorption isotherms measured for both TOC and UV260 were analyzed using an overall isotherm model derived from the IAST-Freundlich expression. By accounting for the heterogeneity of each DOM with a log-normal distribution of the Freundlich parameter (K), its adsorption behavior was characterized with only four parameters (including three fitting ones). The average adsorptive strength (KM) and heterogeneity (sigma) determined for all DOMs, which were defined by the mean value and the standard deviation of the log-normal distribution of the Freundlich K, changed over the ranges 2.5-62.2 and 0.22-0.97 (mg/g)/(mg/l)(1/n), respectively, when the TOC index was used. Among all DOMs studied, a river water DOM at the upper stream was found least heterogeneous: the Freundlich K of its organic constituents varied in the range 10.8-190 (mg/g)/(mg/l)(1/n), as compared to a commercial humic acid that exhibited the broadest Freundlich K distribution of 0.01-1494.3 (mg/g)/(mg/l)(1/n). KM and sigma, along with other two parameters (the Freundlich exponent 1/n and the nonadsorbable organic fraction parameter Cnon/CT0), changed with both indices of TOC and UV260 in a regular manner, indicating that UV-absorbing organic molecules possessed adsorbabilities different from non-UV-absorbing ones. Also based on HPSEC chromatograms measured for solutions before adsorption, the molecular weight composition of all DOMs was also assessed and the molecular size impacts on adsorption characteristics of DOMs were briefly discussed.     

Zn adsorption by different fractions of Galician soils

To evaluate the contribution of organic matter, oxides, and clay fraction to Zn adsorption in six soils from Galicia (Spain), after soil characterization, adsorption isotherms were obtained by adding nine solutions containing between 20 and 500 mg L(-1) concentrations of Zn(NO(3))(2). Distribution coefficients were obtained from the data of adsorption isotherms. Zn adsorption isotherms corresponding to untreated soil and to the organic matter removed samples and organic matter and oxides removed samples were compared with curves pattern and adjusted to Langmuir and Freundlich empirical models. Untreated soils described L-curves whereas when soils were deprived of any component, the curves described were S-type. Distribution coefficients allowed knowing the Zn adsorption capacity of the untreated soil, and of the organic matter, oxides, and clay fraction. Soil organic matter is the main component that affects Zn adsorption as long as soil pH is near neutrality. At acid pH, the oxides are the main component that affects Zn adsorption, although to a much smaller extent than the organic matter near neutral conditions. So soil pH is the main soil factor that determines Zn adsorption, before any other soil property.     

Sedimentation pattern and sediments bioavailability in a wastewater discharging area by sequential metal analysis

Atomic absorption spectrometry was applied to investigate sedimentation pattern and sediments bioavailable phase (BAP) at 41 sites of a wastewater discharging area. The position of sampling sites was confirmed by the aid of a global positioning system (GPS). Contaminants discharged from a large wastewater plant are dispersed to the inner bay and the coastal line rather than the outer bay and the center waterway. The fractional composition of sediment Zn in the discharging area accounted for the presence of exchangeable 239 mg/kg (35.1%)>reducible 163 mg/kg (24.0%)>carbonate 149 mg/kg (22.0%)>residual 98 mg/kg (14.4%)>organic 31 mg/kg (4.6%) in sediment layers of 0–2 cm. However, the order was changed in layers of 15–20 cm as residual>reducible>organic>carbonate>exchangeable. The most abundant fraction of sediment Cu and Fe was organic Cu and residual Fe, respectively. The content of BAP in sediments are quite different with respect to metal species and sediment layer analyzed. It is obvious that sequential metal analysis is a useful tool in understanding dispersion of sediments and sedimentation patterns.
