降雨条件下植物修复分层尾矿土壤重金属迁移的模拟分析

为探究分层土壤中重金属铜迁移对地下水的污染规律,通过土柱淋滤试验方法模拟表层植被、不同降雨强度、不同淋滤液pH条件下分层修复尾矿土壤中重金属铜的纵向迁移规律。结果表明,重金属铜会因为淋滤作用在分层土壤中纵向迁移,各土柱出水口淋出液的重金属铜浓度从上到下呈增加趋势,淋出液中重金属铜浓度随土壤中重金属铜浓度的增加而增加;当淋滤液pH<7时,各土柱出水口淋出液的pH值从上到下呈增加趋势;表层植被、降雨强度及淋滤液pH对淋出液中重金属铜的浓度有影响;在适宜降雨强度范围内,淋出液重金属铜的浓度随淋滤强度增大而增大;表层覆有植被的土柱降雨淋滤后各出水口（除溢流口外）的淋出液重金属浓度较大;当淋滤液pH<7时,各出水口淋出液的重金属浓度随淋滤液pH值的减小而增大,酸性淋滤液会在一定程度上促进淋出液重金属的析出。研究结果为控制实际尾矿库土壤污染和地下水污染提供理论基础。      

Heavy Metal and PAH Concentrations in Highway Runoff Deposits Fractionated on Settling Velocities

The correlation between settling velocity and associated pollutant concentrations is of major importance for best management practice in designing, redesigning, or evaluation of the efficiency of existing pond facilities for retaining unwanted pollutants. The prospect of this note is to state the relationship between the settling velocity of the runoff particles and the corresponding metal and polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentration directly instead of dealing with two unknowns—the density and the shape of a single particle fraction in a settling velocity calculations. The measurements show that the highest cadmium, chromium, zinc, and nickel concentrations is associated with the most slowly falling particles and the lowest concentration associated within the faster falling fraction. This tendency is not clear for some of the sediments due to high content of organic matter and clearly not for lead and copper and there is no significant correlation between PAH concentration and settling velocity. The largest mass of metals and PAH within each pond can be found on the particle fraction with a settling velocity of 5.5–2.5 mm/s.     

Fines Accumulation and Distribution in a Storm-Water Rain Garden Nine Years Postconstruction

Storm water control measures (SCMs), also known as best management practices (BMPs), such as rain gardens, are designed to infiltrate storm-water runoff and reduce pollutant transport to surface waters. The life span of these SCMs may be limited depending on the composition of sediments in runoff water. Settling of fine sediments may clog soil pore spaces, reducing the infiltration capacity of the soil and reducing the potential benefits of this SCM. A study was conducted on a Villanova campus rain garden that accepts runoff from an adjacent parking lot to determine if there was a relationship between the accumulation of fine sediments over time and the infiltration capacity. The soil textural profile within the rain garden was characterized prior to SCM installation (2001), after installation, after five years, and after seven years of receiving storm-water runoff. Infiltration data were collected by the single-ring infiltrometer method in 2006 and 2009. Differences in soil texture were found between locations within the infiltration basin, and accumulation of fines smaller than 0.1 mm was observed at both locations sampled in 2009. Infiltration rates were significantly different between the two locations measured within the rain garden, but infiltration rates did not change significantly over time within those regions. This SCM was designed at a 10:1 watershed to SCM area ratio, which is twice what is recommended by the PA DEP BMP Manual. The data collected over the seven years since installation indicate that while fines have accumulated in the SCM there has been no significant change in infiltration potential.     

Attenuation of Roadway-Derived Heavy Metals by Wood Chips

Wood chips were evaluated for their ability to attenuate heavy metals in roadway runoff. Column experiments with controlled synthetic runoff composition and flow rate were used to assess effects of flow rate (intercepted sheetflow from a 3-m wide roadway section), runoff salt concentration, wood exposure to alternating wetting and drying cycles, wood aging, competition among dissolved heavy metals, and removal of particle-associated heavy metals. Overall, wood chips damped the “pulse” of copper in the synthetic runoff such that the effluent was characterized by lower concentrations (3–25% of input) over longer periods of time, but with little retention of the total copper mass. The most effective treatment was wood chips aged up to 9 months. Increased aging and chip water content reduced effluent concentrations, relative to no treatment. Flow rate had no effect on effluent concentrations. The presence of salt (>2?mS/cm) or dissolved lead (500?μg/L) in the runoff caused greater copper effluent concentrations than the no treatment case. Removal of suspended particles (and associated contaminants) was greater than 85% with an estimated capacity of 0.16?g/gwood. Field evaluation with concentrated flow to a gutter containing a wood chip treatment showed little effect on total or dissolved copper and zinc runoff concentrations and indicated that wood chips may be a source of contaminants in subsequent storm events. Applications of wood chips to treat roadway runoff would not provide a significant decrease in total maximum daily load contributions (e.g., kg/d); however, there may be some scenarios for which wood chip treatments to decrease peak storm water concentrations of dissolved heavy metals in sheetflow runoff is desirable.

Experimental Assessment of Stormwater Infiltration Basin Evolution

Infiltration basins are frequently used for stormwater drainage. They can operate for periods over 20 years but long-term evolution is not well understood or controlled. The two main problems encountered are clogging, which compromises the hydraulic capacity of the basin, and possible contamination of underlying soil and groundwater. This paper focuses on studying long-term evolution of clogging and soil pollution of infiltration basins. Basins of different ages are compared. Also, clogging and soil pollutant concentrations are explored for four infiltration basins in Lyon, France. Ages of the sites range from 10 to 21 years old. Clogging is characterized by the hydraulic resistance. Soil samples were collected at different depths in each basin and analyzed for different pollution parameters (metals, hydrocarbons, pH, and particle size distribution). All four basins have good infiltration capacities. Their hydraulic resistance is low. Such uniformity is surprising because of the age difference between the basins. Pollutant concentrations decrease rapidly with depth whereas pH and grain size increase. Concentrations reach an acceptable value at a 30 cm depth, even after 21 years of operation. Multivariate data analysis does not show significant relation between age, hydraulic resistance, and pollution.     

Feasibility of Estimating Heavy Metal Contaminations in Floodplain Soils Using Laboratory-Based Hyperspectral Data—A Case Study Along Le'an River,China

It is necessary to estimate heavy metal concentrations within soils for understanding heavy metal contaminations and for keeping the sustainable developments of ecosystems. This study, with the floodplain along Le'an River and its two branches in Jiangxi Province of China as a case study, aimed to explore the feasibility of estimating concentrations of heavy metal lead (Pb), copper (Cu)and zinc (Zn) within soils using laboratory-based hyperspectral data. Thirty soil samples were collected, and their hyperspectral data,soil organic matters and Pb, Cu and Zn concentrations were measured in the laboratory. The potential relations among hyperspectral data, soil organic matter and Pb, Cu and Zn concentrations were explored and further used to estimate Pb, Cu and Zn concentrations from hyperspectral data with soil organic matter as a bridge. The results showed that the ratio of the first-order derivatives of spectral absorbance at wavelengths 624 and 564 nm could explain 52% of the variation of soil organic matter; the soil organic matter could explain 59%, 51% and 50% of the variation of Pb, Cu and Zn concentrations with estimated standard errors of 1.41, 48.27 and 45.15mg·kg-1;and the absolute estimation errors were 8%-56%,12%-118% and 2%-22%,and 50%,67% and 100% of them were less than 25% Pb, Cu and Zn concentration estimations. We concluded that the laboratory-based hyperspectral data hold potentials in estimating concentrations of heavy metal Pb, Cu and Zn in soils. More sampling points or other potential linear and non-linear regression methods should be used for improving the stabilities and accuracies of the estimation models.     

Respiratory symptoms and pulmonary function in coal miners: looking into the effects of simple pneumoconiosis

Most soil quality guidelines do not distinguish among the various forms of metals in soils; insoluble, nonreactive, and nonbioavailable forms are deemed as hazardous as highly soluble, reactive, and toxic forms. The objective of this study was to better understand the long-term effects of copper on microorganisms in relation to its chemical speciation in the soil environment. Carbon mineralization processes and the global structure of different microbial communities (fungi, eubacteria, actinomycetes) are still affected after more than 50 years of copper contamination in 20 soils sampled from two different agricultural sites. The microbial respiration lag period (LP) preceding the beginning of mineralization process increases with the level of soil copper contamination and is not significantly affected by other environmental factors such as soil pH and soil organic matter (SOM) content. The total copper concentration showed the best correlation with the LP when each site is considered separately. However, when considering the whole set of data, soil solution free Cu2+ activity (pCu2+) is the best predictor of Cu toxicity determined by LP (quite likely because pCu2+ integrates the soil physicochemical variability). The maximum mineralization rate (MMR), even if well correlated with the pCu2+, appears not to be a good biomonitor of copper contamination in soils since it is highly sensitive to soil characteristics such as SOM content. This study emphasizes the importance of the physicochemical properties of the environment on soil heavy metal toxicity and on soil toxicological measurements. These properties must be characterized in soil toxicological studies with respect to (1) their interactions with heavy metals, and (2) their direct impact on the selected biological test. The measurement of pCu2+ to characterize the level of soil contamination and of lag period as a bioindicator of metal effects in the soil are recognized as useful tools for the evaluation of the biological quality of soils.     

Pollutant Concentrations in Road Runoff: Southeast Queensland Case Study

This paper discusses the results of research into the pollutants in runoff from road pavement surfaces following natural rainfall events. Road runoff water quality was monitored at 21 sites centering around Brisbane, in southeast Queensland, Australia. The sites were selected according to traffic volumes, surrounding land use, pavement surface type, ease of access, and commercial vehicle percentage. Bridge sites were chosen for convenience of sample collection and minimized infrastructure modification. “First flush” grab samplers were permanently installed at each site to collect the first 20 L of runoff from one of the bridge drainage scuppers. The runoff samples were tested for a number of heavy metals, hydrocarbons, pesticides, and other physical characteristics. The observed results fall within the ranges of concentrations reported internationally and nationally but do not typically follow the “30,000 average annual daily traffic” results reported in the United States. Traffic volumes have not been found to be the best indicator of road runoff pollutant concentrations. Interevent duration has been found to be a statistically significant factor for pollutant concentrations. Sites incorporating exit lanes have recorded higher concentrations of acid-extractable copper and zinc, tending to support the hypothesis that brake pad and tire wear caused by rapid deceleration contributes to the concentrations of these metals in road runoff. Laser particle sizing has shown that a significant proportion of the sediment found in the runoff is <100 μm. However, these particulates do settle in water within 24 h, under laboratory conditions. This may be due to the presence of heavy metals.     

废弃铬渣厂土壤理化性质对微生物多样性的影响

Infiltration Pond Design for Highway Runoff Treatment in Semiarid Climates

Highway runoff disposal without concern for its specific characteristics may be associated with high material and environmental costs. An understanding of storm water management has enlightened the importance of the impacts that nonpoint pollution may cause to both surface waters and groundwater. Several systems for highway runoff treatment exist, often based on detention and infiltration processes. This paper suggests a method for design and evaluation of the design of infiltration ponds for use in semiarid climates. The design principle is based on capture and infiltration of the most polluted runoff. It takes into account the rainfall and soil hydraulic characteristics for the determination of the design volume. Seasonal variations in rainfall and evaporation were considered. The soil characteristics—hydraulic conductivity, texture, pH, and cation exchange capacity—the volume of runoff which is infiltrated, and the infiltration area are used to calculate the movement of the most mobile heavy metal, Zn, in the soil. The method presented was based and applied to highway runoff but can be used for treatment of stormwater runoff from other sources.     

Multiyear Performance of a Pervious Concrete Infiltration Basin BMP

The use of infiltration storm-water best management practices (BMPs) has become a more commonly used approach as a means of reducing postdevelopment runoff volumes in many areas throughout the United States. Although studies regarding the performance of infiltration BMPs are emerging, much remains to be learned about their design, construction, and operation. The increase in knowledge will improve the performance and longevity of these BMPs. The performance of one such infiltration basin over a 2-year cycle is presented in this paper. The study site is a pervious concrete infiltration basin BMP built in 2002 in a courtyard common area at Villanova University. The system consists of three linked infiltration beds lined with geotextile filter fabric, filled with coarse aggregate, and overlaid with pervious concrete. The natural soil beneath the infiltration BMP is a silty sand. The BMP is extensively instrumented to facilitate water quantity and quality research. Both water-quantity and -quality results are presented. The water-quantity analysis showed that the performance of the basin was directly related to its infiltration characteristics. The infiltration rate of the silty sand is cyclic, with higher rates during warmer periods and lower rates during colder periods. The water quality analysis investigated the pollutant reduction for chloride, copper, nitrogen, and phosphorus from the inlet to the surface-water outlet of the structure, as well as differences in pollutant concentration levels between the basin, surrounding ground, and varying soil layer elevations beneath the basin. In general, the pollutant reduction to the surface waters was greater than 90% from inlet to outlet, primarily influenced by the infiltration of the storm water into the natural soils below the BMP. The pollutant concentration of the infiltrating runoff was found to be higher than expected in the area adjacent to the bed when compared to concentration levels found at a similar depth beneath the infiltration bed. Comparison of pollutant concentration levels, as the water moved from within the storage bed to the soil beneath the bed, were shown to vary, with statistical differences found for mean concentration levels of both pH and copper levels; and no statistical differences were found for conductivity, total phosphorous, and chloride at each elevation.

Storm Water Detention Ponds: Modeling Heavy Metal Removal by Plant Species and Sediments

Laboratory and field studies were conducted to elucidate heavy metal removal by three wetland grasses and sediments in storm water detention pond. The removal of heavy metals including Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn was mediated by fluid-flow intensity in the reactors. The growth of plants and the removal rates of contaminants were plant species dependent. All three wetland grasses removed contaminants from the spiked nutrient solutions. A first-order kinetic model adequately represented the removal of contaminants by plants. The analyses of undisturbed sediment cores in detention pond revealed strong stratification of heavy metal concentrations at the sediment–water interface. A simple model that integrates heavy metal removal by aquatic plants and sediments in storm water detention ponds is proposed. The model provides an estimate of contaminant residence time which can be related to hydraulic residence time in storm water detention ponds.

Do microglial cells have a neuroprotective function?

Generally, soil heavy metal contamination consists of a mixture of heavy metals. Soil chemical properties and interaction with other pollutants in soil affect the external heavy metal bioavailability. Moreover, interaction with other pollutants accumulated in organisms may change the toxicity of each pollutant. Therefore, the hypotheses was tested that addition of Cd or Pb to Cu-contaminated soil would lead to an increase in tissue Cu accumulation in the earthworm, Dendrobaena veneta, caused by (i) induction of metallothionein by Cd, or (ii) an increase in Cu concentration in soil solution due to the exchange of adsorbed Cu for Pb. Tissue heavy metal concentrations were determined after exposure in contaminated soils for 3 or 21 days. Considerable amounts of Cu, Cd, and Pb were accumulated, indicating that these heavy metals were available for uptake by D. veneta. Both Cd and Pb, however, did not significantly affect tissue Cu accumulation.     

Migration of Heavy Metals in Saturated Sand and Bentonite/Soil Admixture

Heavy metal migration through compacted, saturated sand and bentonite/soil admixtures were investigated using kinetic, batch sorption tests, and column tests. Sorption of Pb, Zn, and Cd at pH 5 by bentonite is found to be 411.2, 163.4, and 71.8 mL/g, respectively. The permeability of the compacted sand (8×10?4?cm/s) is found to be 6 orders of magniture higher than that of bentonite/soil admixture (about 8×10?10?cm/s) when permeated with metal solutions under an effective stress of 34.5 kPa (5 psi). The permeation of metal solutions into bentonite/soil admixture columns does not result in a significant increase in permeability. Experimental results of batch sorption and hydraulic conductivity tests were also analyzed with a computer-based simulation model, POLLUTE, to determine the transport parameters (effective porosity, dispersion coefficient, retardation) of chloride ions and heavy metals in a homogeneous compacted sand and bentonite/soil admixture using a curve fitting technique.
