Results obtained from the analysis of sediments surface samples taken from rivers mouth and polluted marine environment were
analyzed for REE contents to determine the concentrations of La, Ce, Sm, Eu, Tb, Dy, Lu and Yb using instrumental neutron
activation analysis. Thirty surface samples were collected from ten sites in the coastal marine sediments of the South China
Sea along 957 km stretch of the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The samples prepared in the powdered form before irradiating
them in a neutron flux of ~4 × 1012 n cm−2 s−1 at 750 kW power using the TRIGA Mark II research reactor at Malaysian Institute for Nuclear Technology (MINT). Results of
the total concentration are used to establish baseline data in environmental pollution assessment and to develop the correlations
between the Ce/Ce* anomalies and the distribution patterns of some the light rare earth elements (LREEs) and the heavy rare
earth elements (HREEs). The Chondrite-normalized REE pattern from each site examined and used to explain the sedimentation
patterns by anthropogenic activities and by natural processes such as shoreline erosion, weathering deposits. Shale-normalized
(NASC) patterns suggest enrichment of LREEs relative to the HREEs with a positive Ce/Ce* anomaly. Validation of the used method
was done using a Soil-7 SRM. 相似文献

Some aspects of sample analysis (for example, sampling, sample preparing, experimental conductions) from estuaries zones of the west part of Pacific shore have been discussed. The content of elements with different physico-chemical and geological properties in the water samples, suspended matter, bottom sediments, plankton and aerosols have been studied by the methods of neutron activation analysis, X-ray fluorescence and also atomic emission (with ICP) and atomic absorption. Some peculiarities of their distribution and accumulation have been revealed. 相似文献

The feasibility of applying both thermal and epithermal neutron activation analysis for simultaneous determinations of elemental composition in sediments, collected from the Sea of Galilee (Kineret Lake), Israel, during 1988–1993, was experimentally investigated. In the present work, the concentrations of 30 elements (Al, Ba, Br, Ca, Ce, Co, Cs, Cr, Eu, Fe, Hf, K, La, Lu, Mg, Mn, Na, Nd, Rb, Sc, Si, Sr, Ta, Tb, Th, Ti, U, V, Yb and Zn) in sediments were determined. The validity of the method was checked by analyzing the U.S. NBS Standard Reference Material SRM-1633a; the elemental content found agreed well with the published certified data. Aluminium was determined by reactor neutron activation analysis (RNAA) taking into account the contribution of silicon to the total28Al activity by the28Si(n,p)28Al reaction. Measurements of irradiated mixtures of Si and Al showed that the dependence of log SiAl mass ratio vs. log cadmium ratio (R
Cd) of28Al is almost linear. The data can be analyzed more accurately by a parabolic correlation (log Si:Al mass ratio vs logR
Cd). The concentrations of fission radionuclide137Cs, an activation radionuclide134Cs (derived from Chernobyl accident) and the naturally occuring radionuclides40K,226Ra and232Th in sediments were also measured by -ray spectrometry using Marinelli (Reentrant) Beaker-Sample Containers. 相似文献

The activity concentrations of 137Cs, 40K, 226Ra and 232Th in Bq/kg from 42 marine sediment samples collected at nine sampling sites were determined in order to establish a radiological baseline along the Venezuelan coast. The radioactivity levels were determined by means of a gamma-ray spectroscopy system using a hyper-pure germanium detector in a low-background configuration. Particle size distribution and total organic matter content were also determined. Activity concentrations of 137Cs were lower than the detection limit of the analytical technique (0.9 Bq/kg) in all studied sites. The results suggest that the variation of grain-size distribution is one of the most important factors influencing the spatial variations of 40K, 226Ra and 232Th in sediments along the Venezuelan coasts. In all sampling sites, average concentrations of 40K, 226Ra and 232Th were lower than the world average values. Activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in coastal marine sediments along the Venezuelan coast could be considered to be low when compared with global average values, indicating that they are not apparently above of the range that might be considered normal or background. These results suggest that the studied sites do not pose any significant radiological threat to the population. The results attained in this study should be of considerable value as baseline data and background reference levels for Venezuelan coastlines. 相似文献

A number of investigations of trace elements in the waters, organisms and sediments of the Adriatic, using neutron activation
analysis with radiochemical, separations are reported. These include studies of Hg in mussels from the Northern Adriatic,
of Hg and Se in edible animals from the Rijeka region, and of seven elements (As, Cd, Cu, Hg, Mn, Se and Zn) in marine invertebrates
from the Slovene coast. Additionally, plankton, sediment cores and water samples were taken from a grid of stations covering
the whole Adriatic and analyzed for 6 to 11 of the trace elements As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Sb and Zn (Hg only in water).
Generally, levels found were not indicative of pollution as compared with oceanic samples, but some evidence of locally increased
levels was found, especially for Hg. The levels of eleven trace elements in three marine Intercomparison samples prepared
by the IAEA Monaco Laboratory are also presented. 相似文献

Distribution of some major and trace elements in Danube Delta lacustrine sediments and soil 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Sediment cores collected from lakes Mesteru and Furtuna (eastern part), Sontea channel and soil samples collected from Caraorman
bar, all located in the Danube Delta, were analyzed for 42 elements (Ag, Al, As, Be, Na, Mg, P, S, K, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn,
Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, As, Se, Br, Rb, Sr, Y, Mo, Ag, Cd, In, Sn, Sb, Cs, Ce, Hf, Hg, Tl. Pb, Bi, Th. U) by instrumental
neutron activation analysis (INAA), thick target proton induced X-ray emission (TT-PIXE) and inductively coupled plasma-mass
spectrometry (ICP-MS). The INAA and TTPIXE yielded total concentrations whereas the ICP-MS data reflected the fractions soluble
in 14M HNO3. The ICP-MS data exhibited surface enrichment relative to the lower part of the sediment core of Cu, Zn, As, Ag, Cd, In,
Sn, Sb, Hg, Tl, Pb, and Bi, most prominently by Cd and Hg. Their vertical distribution in the investigated cores generally
reflected the pollution history of recent sediments in Danube delta, showing a steady increase until the end of the 1980s
followed by a slow decrease after 1990. The vertical profiles of most remaining elements were characterized by a relatively
uniform distribution along the cores. In some cases, the concentrations of As, Cd, Cu, Cr, Mn, Ni and Pb exceeded minimum
thresholds of safety, as defined by the Romanian regulations. The elemental composition of the sediment below 20 cm depth
(total concentrations) was similar to that of the upper continental crust (UCC) for most elements. Values distinctly higher
than UCC were observed for As, Sb (factor ~5) and Cr, Ni, Cu (factor 2 to 3). The nitric acid soluble element concentrations
in the soil samples in some cases showed increased values at the surface as compared to 30 cm depth, either due to air pollution
or to the action of plants. In no case a large contribution to the topsoil from atmospheric deposition was evident, indicating
that the surface contamination of the sediments was mainly by riverine transport.

The three phases “dissolved solids”, “suspended solids” and “sediment” of four sampling sites along the river Isar were analysed
by INAA. In these as well as in the different grain-size fractions between<2 and 63 μm 17 trace elements were determined.
Compared with the values of other rivers in Middle Europe the river Isar is still below the levels of significant pollution. 相似文献

Seventeen trace elements (As, Ce, Co, Cr, Cs, Eu, Fe, Hg, Hf, La Lu, Rb, Sb, Sc, Sm, Yb and Zn) have been determined by Instrumental
Neutron Activation Analysis in sediments from the upper Saronikos Gulf, Greece. It was found that the discharge of industrial
and domestic wastes in the Keratsini and Elefsis bays of the upper Saronikos Gulf had led to elevated concentrations of all
toxic and other trace elements determined over at least 100 km2 of seafloor. Increases above natural level range from 2 fold for rare earths to 200 fold for arsenic. 相似文献

The Daliao River System (DRS) estuary in Liaodong Bay features a highly industrial, urbanized, and agricultural catchment. The objective of this study was to determine the content, behavior, and distribution of the rare earth elements (REEs) in the estuarine and coastal sediments. To this end, 35 sediment samples were collected from the estuarine and coastal area and analyzed for REEs, Fe, Al, and Mn. The mean concentrations in mg kg?1 of the sediments were 33.4 (La), 64.1 (Ce), 7.9 (Pr), 29.0 (Nd), 5.4 (Sm), 1.2 (Eu), 4.2 (Gd), 0.78 (Tb), 4.0 (Dy), 0.84 (Ho), 2.3 (Er), 0.40 (Tm), 2.3 (Yb), and 0.37 (Lu). The REE concentrations in the sediments were significantly correlated with one another (r 2 = 0.959–0.988) and the concentrations of Fe, Al, and Mn (r 2 = 0.768–0.870). The total concentration ∑REE ranged from 73.5 to 203.5 mg kg?1, with an average of 156.0 mg kg?1 being observed, and generally higher in the estuarine sediments than in the coastal sediments, most likely due to the salt-induced coagulation of river colloids and subsequently their accumulation at the estuarine bottom. The ratio of light REEs (∑LREE) to heavy REEs (∑HREE) was 9.4. Chondrite-normalized REE distributions were observed to be similar for the estuarine and coastal sediments, riverine suspended particles, and watershed soils of the DRS with higher LRRE enrichment than HREE and greater Eu depletion than Ce depletion. These results demonstrate that neither geochemical processes that carry soils to estuarine sediments nor long-term industrial and agricultural activities alter the distribution or fractionation of the REEs in the study area. 相似文献

The interactive processes operating on the continental shelf adjacent to the river mouth control the amount and the characteristics of the Amazon discharge reaching the Atlantic Ocean. In this study, the distribution of trace elemental concentrations, with emphasis to the rare-earth elements, in sediment cores collected at several stations from the Amazon continental shelf during the falling water period was investigated by instrumental neutron activation analysis. Cores from the terrigenous and blue water zones have relatively uniform REE concentrations throughout the profile. Cerium anomalies for samples of the upper section of the eight stations are consistently positive and of high values (normally >2). Similar variation in the elemental concentration ratios between the seabed sediments and Amazon River suspended sediments was seen for stations located in the biogenic and blue water zones, with an enrichment for Ce, Sm, Fe, Th, and Sc and a depletion for the La, Eu, Tb, Yb, Co, Cr, Cs, Hf, Ta, and Zn. The shale-normalized REE patterns from shelf sediments are enriched in LREE relative to HREE, with enrichment factors varying from 1.5 for stations near the river mouth (terrigenous zone) to 1.9 for stations located far in the blue water zone. Published data for the Amazon River suspended sediment agree remarkably well with this observation of LREE-enrichment. 相似文献

Summary The Lerma is one of the most important rivers of Mexico, where it drains highly populated and industrialized regions. The
concentration of six major and trace elements: titanium, manganese, iron, zinc, copper and lead in the surface sediments of
the upper course of Lerma river was investigated, in order to identify its distribution along the river and to recognize the
principal sites of pollution. The surface sediment samples were collected at 8 sites distributed following the stream flow
direction of the river. Major and trace elements concentrations were determined by energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry. The
results show that the metal concentrations in the sediments decrease in the sequence: Fe > Ti > Mn > Zn > Cu > Pb. Concentration
of Fe, Mn and Ti were significantly higher than the other metals in site 8,200 meters downstream the Alzate Dam. The high
concentrations and spatial variations of Zn, Cu and Pb in the middle sites of the upper course of the Lerma River indicate
that the river pollution is probably associated with urban and industrial discharges. 相似文献

The objective of this research is to trace the sources of stream sediments in a small watershed influenced by anthropogenic and lithogenic origins identified by the spatial distributions and temporal variations of stream sediments using geochemical interpretation of the stable and radiogenic isotopes, major components, and heavy metals data and principal component analysis. To know the effects of both present and past mining, the stream sediments were sampled at the stream tributaries and sediment coring work. The spatial distributions of heavy metals clearly showed the effects of Cu and Pb?CZn mineralization zones at the site. Anthropogenic Pb was elevated at the downstream area by the stream sediments due to an active quarry. The results of principal components analysis also represent the effects of the stream sediments origins, including anthropogenic wastes and the active quarry and lithogenic sediment. Anomalous Cu, indicating the effect of past Guryong mining, was identified at the deep core sediments of 1.80?C5.05?m depth. The influence of active quarry was shown in the recently deposited sediments of <1.50?m depth, which was proved by the profiles of radioactive 210Pb and stable Pb and Sr isotopes. This study suggests that the chemical studies using radiogenic and stable isotopes and heavy metals and multivariate statistical method are useful tools to discriminate the sources of stream sediments with different origins. 相似文献

The content of Na, Sc, Cr, Fe, Co, Zn, As, Br, Sb, Cs, La, Ce, Sm, Eu, Lu and Hf inEunicella cavolinii, Cladocoro cespitosa, Cystoseira barbata, Zostera marina, Posidonia oceanica andUlva lactuca was found to be approximately 3–5 orders of magnitude higher than reported for sea water, as determined by nondestructive
neutron activation analysis (NNAA). The relative amounts of these elements in all organisms investigated are very similar
and reflect their ratio in the media. Rare earth elements, however, are an exception and their accumulation appears to be
specific. Among the organisms investigated,Zostera marina has the highest capacity for accumulation of most elements determined and thus may be used as an “indicator” organisms. 相似文献

The distribution of major, trace and rare earth elements in bulk, different particle sized and strongly magnetic fractions of Lake Nasser sediments has been investigated. The elements were determined using neutron activation analysis. Statistical data processing indicates good correlation between Th, La and Ce, suggesting that accessory minerals such as monazite may play a role in controlling rare earth elements (REE) in the lake sediments. The highly significant relationship between Al and light-REE accounts for the capability of clay minerals to host these elements. In addition, principle components analysis reflects that there are only four factors which could explain about 90% of the total variance in the lake sediments. The results show also that Al, Th and REE have low contents in the sediment magnetic fraction relative to the corresponding values in the bulk sediments, whereas Fe, Mn, Ti, Co, Cr, Hf, V and Zn have higher concentrations in the same fraction than the corresponding values in the bulk sediments. This may be attributed to their incorporation in Fe-Mn minerals. 相似文献

Instrumental neutron activation analysis was used to measure 17 elements in 2 families of leaves of tropical plants. The concentrations of most of the trace elements measured, especially toxic elements like As, Br, Cr, Hg, Sb and Zn, were found to correlate well with the polluted nature of the locations where the trees were grown and also with the age of the plants. It was observed that the trees used in this study could be used as bioindicators for the pollution state of the surrounding environment. 相似文献
