南韩两个废弃的尾矿中砷和重金属的浓度

未经过处理的废弃尾矿，由于有毒元素，诸如砷（As）和铅（Pb）的扩散，可能导致对生态系统的危害。植物修复是大型矿山废石堆治理使用的方法。采集植物种类样品是在南韩两个废弃的金矿（Au）中进行的。根据美国环保署3050方法（US-EPA，1996）对植物样品进行分类，然后用电感耦合等离子体质谱法（ICP-MS）进行分析。得出植物的浓度和生物累积因素并总结了含有一种以上金属的植物种类。建议生长在Myoungbong尾矿的白杨树是对大规模金尾矿治理具有再种植的潜力。从Duckum尾矿采集的欧洲蕨中得出，砷的累计远远低于记载的超量堆积的植物累积的量，但是，通过每天相关的饮食，可能会对居民的健康造成长期不利的影响。     

西南表层岩溶带土壤中砷的迁移规律实验与模拟

岩溶地下河是我国西南地区的重要水源,工业生产过程中产生的砷污染物,除通过落水洞等直接进入并污染地下水外,还会在表层岩溶带溶缝、溶隙内吸附、滞留及富集,并在特定条件下再次迁移,成为"稳定次生污染源".以广西某砷污染事件为例,采用窄缝槽物理模型装置进行砷的动态吸附、解吸实验,并结合地球化学模拟研究砷污染物在表层岩溶带土壤中的迁移规律.实验结果显示表层岩溶带对砷的吸附以物理吸附（扩散过程）为主,相比吸附过程而言解吸速率则显得缓慢,而酸溶液相比去离子水可促进砷的解吸过程.地球化学模拟结果表明土壤矿物中以针铁矿对砷的吸附贡献最大,而酸溶液通过溶蚀针铁矿等矿物削弱对砷的吸附能力.因此在西南岩溶地区,表层岩溶带系统一旦纳入砷污染物,则解吸过程缓慢,易形成砷污染物的滞留、富集;而酸雨作用下砷的解吸、迁移过程加快,则会提高地下水系统的污染风险.      

水介质中多金属海水矿瘤砷吸附的研究

本文详细报告了水介质中多金属海水矿瘤吸附砷（Ⅲ）和砷（Ⅴ）的研究结果。海水矿瘤的元素成分主要由铁、锰、硅（含有微量铝）、铜、钴和镍。海水矿瘤对砷（Ⅴ）的吸附取决于水介质的pH值，而砷（Ⅲ）的吸附不受水介质pH值的影响。砷吸附数据大体上符合兰米尔（Langmuir）等温线。砷（Ⅲ）和砷（Ⅴ）的动力学数据满足一种假定的二级动力学模型。海水矿瘤去除砷的效果取决于砷的初始浓度。当水介质中砷（Ⅲ）的初始浓度为0．34mg／L或砷（Ⅴ）的初始浓度为0．78mg／L时，海水矿瘤的最佳剂量为0．74mg／g。砷（Ⅲ）的吸附一般取决于离子环境。除PO4^3-以外，砷（Ⅲ）的吸附不受阴离子的影响，但受阳离子的影响显著。另一方面，砷（Ⅴ）的吸附受阴离子的影响显著，但不受阳离子的影响。试验结果表明，海水矿瘤吸附的砷（Ⅲ）主要为内部结核复合物，而吸附的砷（Ⅴ）为部分内部结核和部分外部结核复合物。当水介质的pH值为2-10时，吸附的砷（Ⅲ）和砷（Ⅴ）的解吸附较小。当水介质的pH值为6或更高时，海水矿瘤能被用于吸附地下水中的砷（Ⅲ）和砷（Ⅴ）物种。海水矿瘤被成功地用于去除采于印度西孟加拉邦的6种受砷污染地下水样中的砷（6种地下水样中砷的浓度范围为0．04-0．18mg／L）。

Mathematical modeling of biologically mediated redox processes of iron and arsenic release in groundwater

A one dimensional reactive transport model was developed in order to illustrate the biogeochemical behavior of arsenic and iron reduction and release to groundwater that accounts for the reaction coupling the major redox elements under reducing environment. Mass transport equation and the method of characteristics were used considering fundamental geochemical processes to simulate transport processes of different pollutants in mobile phase. The kinetic sub-model describes the heterotrophic metabolisms of several microorganisms. To model a complete redox sequence (aerobic or denitrifiers, Fe(III)-reduction, respiration bacteria of iron and arsenic compounds, and As(V) reduction) four functional bacterial groups (X ₁, X ₂, X ₃, and X ₄) were defined. Microbial growth was assumed to follow Monod type kinetics. The exchange between the different phases (mobile, bio, and matrix) was also considered in this approach. Results from a soil column experiment were used to verify the simulation results of the model. The model depicts the utilization of oxygen, nitrate, iron oxide and arsenic as electron acceptors for oxidation of organic carbon (OC) in a column. The OC as electron donor is one of the most important factors that affect the iron and arsenic reduction bacterial activity.     

Behavior of arsenic and geochemical modeling of arsenic enrichment in aqueous environments

Arsenic is present in aqueous environments in +III and +V oxidation states. In oxidizing environments, the principle attenuation mechanism of As migration is its adsorption on Fe(III) oxide and hydroxides. The adsorption affinity is higher for As(V) under lower pH conditions and for As(III) under higher pH conditions. Ferric oxide and hydroxides can dissolve under low Eh and pH conditions releasing adsorbed As. Oxidation-reduction processes often involve high organic matter content in sediments and also contamination by organics such as BTEX. Arsenic may desorb under high pH conditions. Changes of pH can be related to some redox reactions, cation exchange reactions driving dissolution of carbonates, and dissolution of silicates. In very reducing environments, where SO₄ reduction takes place, secondary sulfide minerals like As-bearing pyrite and orpiment, As₂S₃, can incorporate As. Geochemical modeling can be divided into two principal categories: (a) forward modeling and (b) inverse modeling. Forward modeling is used to predict water chemistry after completion of predetermined reactions. Inverse modeling is used to suggest which processes take place along a flowpath. Complex coupled transport and geochemistry programs, which allow for simulation of As adsorption, are becoming available. A common modeling approach is based on forward modeling with surface complexation modeling (SCM) of As adsorption, which can incorporate the effect of different adsorbent/As ratios, adsorption sites density, area available for adsorption, pH changes and competition of As for adsorption sites with other dissolved species such as phosphate. The adsorption modeling can be performed in both batch and transport modes in codes such as PHREEQC. Inverse modeling is generally used to verify hypotheses on the origin of As. Basic prerequisites of inverse modeling are the knowledge of flow pattern (sampling points used in model have to be hydraulically connected) and information about mineralogy including As mineral phases. Case studies of geochemical modeling including modeling of As adsorption are presented.     

Mass balance of dissolved lithium in the oceans

A tentative mass balance of dissolved Li in the oceans suggests that basalt-seawater reactions play an important role in the Li cycle. However, removal of dissolved Li by basalt during reactions at low or moderate temperatures cannot compensate totally for inputs owing to basalt-seawater reactions at high temperatures and to continental run-off. We propose that the Li budget in the oceans is balanced by incorporation of Li into authigenic clay minerals. Li concentration profiles in the water column support this model. Basalt-seawater reactions at high temperatures seem to affect strongly the distribution of dissolved Li in interstitial waters of overlying sediments, suggesting that this element can be used as an indicator of hydrothermal reactions in the basaltic basement.     

Constitutive modeling of unsaturated aggregated soils

A coupled water retention–mechanical constitutive model for unsaturated aggregated soils is presented here. Based on the multi‐scale experimental results, the model incorporates the inter‐particle bonding, fabric and partial saturation effects in a single framework. It is formulated within the framework of hardening elasto‐plasticity and is based on the critical state concept. Prior to model validation, we evaluate the model parameters and propose determination procedures for the main new parameters. Finally, the model is examined for its capability in simulating the experimental results of aggregated and bonded soils. Results of these simulations show that the model addresses the most features arising from the combined effects of soil structure and partial saturation. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Natural arsenic attenuation via metal arsenate precipitation in soils contaminated with metallurgical wastes: II. Cumulative evidence and identification of minor processes

Accurate identification of individual As species in contaminated environments is critical because the toxicology, mobility and adsorptive properties of this element may vary substantially with its chemical forms and oxidation states. The goal of this work was to relate the geochemical behavior of As in soils contaminated by a lead smelter in Mexico, with its chemical speciation, and to achieve direct identification of low-solubility poorly-crystalline metal arsenates. Arsenic was identified as the most mobile trace element in the wastes from the smelting plant. Arsenic solubility in soils was significantly lower than its solubility in wastes, showing natural attenuation of this element. Its solubility in soil was quantitatively described in selected samples through thermodynamic equilibrium modeling. The results indicated that As solubility is controlled by solid Pb and Cu arsenate formation. The behaviors of the sequential chemical extractions were consistent with the presence of the predicted arsenates. Microscopic evidence of the formation of solid metal arsenates were obtained in fine soil fractions of selected samples with high As contents, by using the following complementary techniques: X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, both coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and the latter with a high angle annular dark field detector. All results supported the formation of low-solubility Pb arsenates as controlling As mobility in the samples studied, in which As(V) adsorption to Fe (hydr)oxides was not the dominant process of natural attenuation.     

Finite-element method in modeling geologic transport processes

Deterministic mathematical modeling of complex geologic transport processes may require the use of odd boundary shapes, time dependency, and two or three dimensions. Under these circumstances the governing transport equations must be solved by numerical methods. For a number of transport phenomena a general form of the convective-dispersion equation can be employed. The solution of this equation for complicated problems can be solved readily by the finite-element method. Using quadrilateral isoparametric elements or triangular elements and a computational algorithm based on Galerkin's procedure, solutions to unsteady heat flux from a dike and seawater intrusion in an aquifer have been obtained. These examples illustrate that the finite-element numerical procedure is well suited for solving boundary-value problems resulting from modeling of complex physical phenomena.     

Geochemical processes controlling arsenic mobility in groundwater: A case study of arsenic mobilization and natural attenuation

The behavior of As in the subsurface environment was examined along a transect of groundwater monitoring wells at a Superfund site, where enhanced reductive dechlorination (ERD) is being used for the remediation of groundwater contaminated with chlorinated solvents. The transect was installed parallel to the groundwater flow direction through the treatment area. The ERD technology involves the injection of organic C (OC) to stimulate in situ microbial dechlorination processes. A secondary effect of the ERD treatment at this site, however, is the mobilization of As, as well as Fe and Mn. The concentrations of these elements are low in groundwater collected upgradient of the ERD treatment area, indicating that, in the absence of the injected OC, the As that occurs naturally in the sediment is relatively immobile. Batch experiments conducted using sediments from the site inoculated with an Fe(III)- and As(V)-reducing bacterium and amended with lactate resulted in mobilization of As, Fe and Mn, suggesting that As mobilization in the field is due to microbial processes.
