显微激光拉曼定量分析CO_2气体碳同位素组成方法研究

制备了一系列不同比例的~(12)CO_2/N_2和~(13)CO_2/N_2混合物,对样品进行显微激光拉曼测试分析后发现气体拉曼特征峰峰面积比与其摩尔分数比成正比例关系,拟合方程的斜率被认为是拉曼量化因子F_(12CO_2)和F_(13CO_2)。用气相组分中只含有~(12)CO_2和N_2的流体包裹体验证了当F_(12CO_2),为1.163 49时,根据气体的拉曼特征峰峰面积比能估算出其摩尔分数比。由线性拟合后的方程斜率得出F_(13CO_2)和F_(12CO_2)分别为1.610 86和1.163 49,它们的比率F_(13CO_2)/F_(12CO_2)是1.3845。在确定稳定同位素分子的拉曼参数和实验条件基础上,CO_2气体碳同位素摩尔分数比C_(12)/C_(13)可根据A_(12Co_2)/A_(13CO_2)(拉曼峰峰面积比)和F_(13CO_2)/F_(12CO_2)的乘积求出。此外,用已知摩尔分数比(C_(12)/C_(13))的人造包裹体验证了此方法具有一定的可行性,可以建立起定量分析CO_2气体碳同位素激光拉曼测试方法。     

Spatial and temporal characteristics of stable isotopes in the Tarim River Basin

By using 233 isotope samples, we investigated the spatial and temporal variations of δ¹⁸O and δ²H in precipitation and surface water, and the contribution of different water sources in the rivers within the Tarim River Basin (TRB), which receives snow/glacier meltwater, groundwater, and rainfall. Our study revealed a similar seasonal pattern of precipitation δ¹⁸O and δ²H at both the north and south edges of the basin, indicating the dominant effect of westerly air masses in the summer and the combined influence of westerly and polar air masses during the winter, although the southern part showed more complex precipitation processes in the summer. River water in the basin has relatively large temporal variations in both δ¹⁸O and δ²H showing a distinct seasonal pattern with lower isotope values in May than in September. Higher d-excess values throughout the year in the Aksu river and the Tizinafu river suggest that water may be intensively recycled in the mountains of the TRB. Based on isotopic hydrograph separation, we found that groundwater is the main water source that discharges the entire basin although individual rivers vary.     

Online induction heating for determination of isotope composition of woody stem water with laser spectrometry: a methods assessment

Application of stable isotopes of water to studies of plant–soil interactions often requires a substantial preparatory step of extracting water from samples without fractionating isotopes. Online heating is an emerging approach for this need, but is relatively untested and major questions of how to best deliver standards and assess interference by organics have not been evaluated. We examined these issues in our application of measuring woody stem xylem of sagebrush using a Picarro laser spectrometer with online induction heating. We determined (1) effects of cryogenic compared to induction-heating extraction, (2) effects of delivery of standards on filter media compared to on woody stem sections, and (3) spectral interference from organic compounds for these approaches (and developed a technique to do so). Our results suggest that matching sample and standard media improves accuracy, but that isotopic values differ with the extraction method in ways that are not due to spectral interference from organics.

石盐中硼含量及其同位素的准确测定

基于Cs₂BO+₂的正热电离质谱法测定样品中硼同位素时,硼含量的准确测定直接制约着硼同位素测定的成败。目前,使用电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱仪(ICP-OES)测定高盐样品的硼含量仍然存在很大问题,主要体现在两个方面： 高盐的基体干扰和仪器检出限制约,而仅仅依靠简单的稀释无法很好的解决这些困难。因此对样品进行硼元素的预富集以及基体离子的去除是十分必要的。在使用硼特效树脂进行硼元素的吸附时发现部分钠离子也会被同时吸附,故采用3 mol·L-1的氨水可以洗脱大部分吸附的钠离子而不造成硼的损失,达到了去除基体的目的。随后使用10 mL 75 ℃的0.1 mol·L-1盐酸将硼特效树脂吸附的硼洗脱实现了样品中硼的富集。ICP-OES测定硼含量时,选择波长为208.900 nm,样品的加标回收率在106.00%～108.40%之间,检出限为0.006 mg·L-1,定量下限为0.02 mg·L-1。通过不同盐度下的12次重复实验,其相对标准偏差小于5%,在1.94%～3.37%之间,因此该方法是可行的,并不存在偶然误差。联合此方法和Cs₂BO+₂离子的正热电离质谱法,成功测定了8个地质石盐样品的硼含量及硼同位素组成。     

Isotope effect for transport and magnetic properties of La 0.35 Pr 0.35 Ca 0.3 MnO 3 thin films

The effect of ¹⁶ O → ¹⁸ O isotope substitution on electrical resistivity, magnetoresistance, and ac magnetic susceptibility was studied for La_0.35Pr_0.35Ca_0.3MnO₃ epitaxial thin films deposited onto LaAlO₃ and SrTiO₃ substrates. For the films on LaAlO₃, the isotope substitution resulted in the reversible transition from a metal-like to insulating state. The applied magnetic field ( H ≥ 2 T) transformed the sample with ¹⁸O back to the metallic state. The films on SrTiO₃ remained metallic at low temperatures for both ¹⁶O and ¹⁸O, but the shift of the resistivity peak corresponding to onset of metallic state exceeded 63 K after ¹⁶ O → ¹⁸ O substitution. The temperature dependence of both resistivity and magnetic susceptibility was characterized by hysteresis, especially pronounced in the case of the films on LaAlO₃. Such a behavior gives certain indications of the phase separation characteristic of interplay between ferromagnetism and charge ordering.

Dating problems with selected mining lakes and the adjacent groundwater body in Lusatia,Germany

This study presents selected results, applying environmental tracers to investigate lake water–groundwater interactions at two study sites located in Lusatia, Germany. The focus of the investigations were two meromictic pit lakes and their adjacent aquifers. In order to follow hydrodynamic processes between lake and groundwater, mixing patterns within the lakes as well as ages of lake and groundwater, water samples of ground- and lake water were collected at three occasions, representing summer and winter conditions in the aquatic systems. The water samples were analysed for stable isotopes (deuterium, oxygen-18) and tritium and sulphurhexafluoride (SF₆ concentration). Lake water profiles of conductivity and ¹⁸O could validate the permanent stratification pattern of both the lakes. Groundwater data sets showed a heterogeneous local distribution in stable isotope values between rain and lake water. A two-component mixing model had been adopted only from ¹⁸O data to determine lake water proportions in the surrounding groundwater wells in order to correct measured tritium and SF₆ concentrations in groundwater samples. This procedure had been hampered by upstream-located wells indicating strong ¹⁸O enrichment in groundwater samples. However, rough groundwater ages were estimated. For both study sites, Piston flow ages between 12.9 and 27.7 years were calculated. The investigations showed the good agreement between two different environmental dating tools, considering the marginal data sets.     

Accuracy and precision of a laser-spectroscopy approach to the analysis of δ2H and δ18O in human urine

The isotope ratio analysis of body water often involves large sample numbers and lengthy sample processing. Here we demonstrate the ability of isotope ratio infrared spectroscopy (IRIS) to rapidly and accurately analyse the isotope ratios of water in urine. We analysed water extracted from human urine using traditional isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) and compared those values with IRIS-analysed extracted water and un-extracted urine. Regression analyses for δ²H and δ¹⁸O values between (1) extracted water analysed via IRMS and IRIS and (2) urine and extracted water analysed via IRIS were significant (R ²=0.99). These results indicate that cryogenic distillation of urine was not required for an accurate estimate of the isotopic composition of urine when using IRIS.     

Partitioning of atmospheric carbon dioxide over Central Europe: insights from combined measurements of CO 2 mixing ratios and their carbon isotope composition

Regular measurements of atmospheric CO ₂ mixing ratios and their carbon isotope composition (¹³C/¹²C and ¹⁴C/¹²C ratios) performed between 2005 and 2009 at two sites of contrasting characteristics (Krakow and the remote mountain site Kasprowy Wierch) located in southern Poland were used to derive fossil fuel-related and biogenic contributions to the total CO ₂ load measured at both sites. Carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere, not coming from fossil fuel and biogenic sources, was considered ‘background’ CO ₂. In Krakow, the average contribution of fossil fuel CO ₂ was approximately 3.4%. The biogenic component was of the same magnitude. Both components revealed a distinct seasonality, with the fossil fuel component reaching maximum values during winter months and the biogenic component shifted in phase by approximately 6 months. The partitioning of the local CO ₂ budget for the Kasprowy Wierch site revealed large differences in the derived components: the fossil fuel component was approximately five times lower than that derived for Krakow, whereas the biogenic component was negative in summer, pointing to the importance of photosynthetic sink associated with extensive forests in the neighbourhood of the station. While the presented study has demonstrated the strength of combined measurements of CO ₂ mixing ratios and their carbon isotope signature as efficient tools for elucidating the partitioning of local atmospheric CO ₂ loads, it also showed the important role of the land cover and the presence of the soil in the footprint of the measurement location, which control the net biogenic surface CO ₂ fluxes.     

Characterising ontogenetic niche shifts in Nile crocodile using stable isotope (δ13C, δ15N) analyses of scute keratin

Nile crocodiles undergo a three to five order of magnitude increase in body size during their lifespan. This shift coincides with a change in resource and habitat use which influences the strength, type and symmetry of interactions with other species. Identifying size-specific crocodile groups displaying similar traits is important for conservation planning. Here, we illustrate how stable carbon (δ¹³ C) and nitrogen (δ¹⁵ N) isotope analysis of scute keratin, together with breakpoint modelling analysis can be used to characterise ontogenetic niche shifts. Using a sample set of 238 crocodiles from the Okavango Delta, Botswana (35–463 cm total length), we found prominent size-related changes in the scute keratin δ¹³ C and δ¹⁵ N profiles close to 40 and 119 cm snout-vent length. The first shift corroborated the findings of a traditional stomach-content study conducted on the same population at the same time, and the second conformed to known crocodile ecology. This approach can be used as a first approximation to identify size-specific groups within crocodile populations, and these can then be investigated further using isotopic or other methods.
