This study provides geochemical partitioning, potential bioavailability, and enrichment of Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn in bottom sediments collected from the Matanza-Riachuelo River and its main tributary streams. A modified Tessier sequential extraction procedure, complemented with acid volatile sulfide (AVS) and simultaneous extracted metals (SEM) measurements, was applied to determine the partitioning of metals into four fractions (metals bound to amorphous sulfide, carbonate, and exchangeable), bound to Fe/Mn oxides (reducible), bound to organic matter/sulfide (oxidizable) and residual. Spatial and vertical distributions of metals were studied. The core sediments show a decreasing concentration of metals with depth. In top sediments, non-residual Cu was mainly associated with oxidizable phase, whereas Pb, Cd, and Zn were mainly associated with amorphous sulfide. Pb exhibited the highest enrichment in all sites. The ratio AVS/SEM was greater than one at sediment sections close to the water column, indicating that metals extracted with hydrochloric acid were mainly associated with the amorphous sulfide. The strong influence of amorphous sulfide in the retention of Cd, Pb, and Zn in anoxic sediments of Matanza-Riachuelo river system suggests that dredging and aeration could lead to the remobilization of metals from sediments to the water column, hence making the metals more available to the biota. 相似文献

Five heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in river sediments from Abshineh River, Hamedan, western Iran, were fractionated by a sequential extraction procedure. Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn existed in sediments mainly in residual fraction (mean 92%, 86%, 77%, and 65%, respectively), whereas Cd occurred mostly as organic matter (mean 41%) and exchangeable (mean 25%) fractions. The mean percent of mobile fraction of Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn in contaminated sediments was 25, 13, 4, 24, and 10, respectively, which suggests that the mobility and bioavailability of the five metals in sediments probably decline in the following order: Cd = Pb > Cu > Zn > Ni. The metal levels were also evaluated according to the contamination factor, which revealed significant anthropogenic pollution of Cd and Pb. 相似文献

A simultaneous (SIM) sediment extraction procedure for low carbonate sediments, which partitions sediment-bound trace metals
(Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, and Cd) into easily reducible (associated with Mn oxides), reducible (associated with Fe oxides) and alkaline
extracted (bound to organic) metal is presented. The SIM method was compared to the sequential (SEQ) extraction procedure
of Tessier et al. (1979). Both methods showed good agreement for the partitioning of Zn and Cd among the easily reducible,
reducible and organic components of sediment. Both methods also showed the same general distribution of Mn, Fe and Cu among
the three sediment components, however concentrations of metals recovered by the two methods differed; less Mn and Fe and
more Cu was recovered from sediments by the SEQ vs. the SIM procedure. Less recovery of Mn is in part attributed to the loss
of this metal in the `in between' reagent rinses required in the SEQ procedure. Greater recovery of Cu by the SEQ vs. the
SIM method may be due to the pretreatment of sediment with strong reducing agents prior to the step used for liberating organically
bound metals. Advantages of a SIM over the SEQ include rapid sample processing time (i.e. the treatment of 40 samples per
day vs. 40 samples in three days), plus minimal sample manipulation. Hence, for partitioning metals into easily reducible,
reducible and organic sediment components in sediments low in carbonate, we recommend the use of a SIM extraction over that
of a SEQ procedure. 相似文献

The urban environment of Guangzhou, the largest industrialized center in SE China, has elevated levels of heavy metals. In places, Cu, Pb, and Zn contents exceed 490, 920, and 1,820 mg/kg, respectively. The accumulation of these contaminants is likely to accelerate as a consequence of rapid economic and industrial growth in the region. Understanding of the possible fate of the contaminants is therefore imperative in order to assess their potential long-term ecological impacts. This article documents the results of a sequential extraction procedure involving five operationally defined fractions to determine the chemical partitioning of Cu, Pb, and Zn in the urban deposits represented by road dusts and corresponding gully sediments. Special emphasis was given to the mineralogical characteristics of the urban deposits. Road dusts were mainly composed of quartz, K-Feldspar, plagioclase, and calcite, and contained minor amounts of mica and clay minerals. The corresponding gully sediments, however, typically contained minor amounts of calcite, mica, and clay minerals, and were dominated by quartz and K-feldspar. The road dusts and gully sediments exhibited comparable chemical partitioning patterns of Cu, Pb, and Zn, despite significant differences in the relative abundances of minerals, especially of calcite. Lead and Zn occurred mainly in the operationally defined carbonate/ specifically adsorbed (Pb: 48%; Zn: 50%) and Fe-Mn (Pb: 36%; Zn: 27%) phases, whereas Cu was largely associated with the organic (70%) and residual (15%) phases. In general, the residual phases of the heavy metal contaminants were equal or less than 15%, suggesting their dominantly anthropogenic origin. The relative mobility and bioavailability of the heavy metals in the urban deposits of Guangzhou was: Pb ~ Zn > Cu. The ever-increasing accumulations of heavy metals may pose a threat in the region both to the environment and to human health. 相似文献

ABSTRACTEDTA is useful to assess mobile metal pools in polluted soils and sediments. There is a need to enhance our understanding of the significance of metal fractions released. The impact of single reagent extraction with 0.05 mol L?1 EDTA on the solid phase distribution of trace metals in surface soils sampled from confined dredged sediment disposal sites was investigated. Not extracted and EDTA extracted soils were subjected to sequential extraction to fractionate the total contents into: (1) easily exchangeable and carbonate bound fraction; (2) reducible fraction; (3) oxidisable fraction; and (4) residual fraction. With EDTA, significant portions of metals associated with the acid extractable and reducible fractions were released. The oxidisable and residual fractions remained unaffected for most of the investigated metals except for the organic matter associated metals (Cu and Pb). A decrease in the residual fraction after EDTA-extraction for Cu and Pb was attributed to artifacts of the sequential extraction procedure. 相似文献

Lake Taihu is one of the most contaminated lakes in China. Surface sediment data show that the northern area of the Lake has
the worst heavy metals pollution, and high heavy metal concentrations were attributed to discharge of untreated and partially
treated industrial waste water from cities to the north of the lake. To study geochemical features and pollution history of
heavy metals, total content and chemical fractionations of Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn were analyzed for core sediments from
western Lake Taihu using the speciation extraction procedure, proposed by the Commission of the European Communities Bureau
of Reference (BCR), together with grain size and organic carbon measurements. Results show that sediments are composed of
organic-poor clayey-fine silts for Cores MS and DLS, and have similar geochemical features shown by heavy metals. Cu, Fe,
Ni, and Zn mainly are associated with the residue fraction, Mn is concentrated in the exchangeable-carbonate and residue fractions,
and Pb is concentrated in the Fe–Mn oxide fraction and organic-sulfide fraction. The fractions of Ni, Pb, and Zn bound to
Fe–Mn oxide show significant correlations with Mn from the Fe–Mn oxide fraction, and the organic-sulfide fractions of Cu,
Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn are correlated with TOC. The increase of Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn content and percentage of extractable fractions
in the upper layers of the sediments are correlated with anthropogenic input of heavy metals due to rapid industrial development.
This coincides with rapid economic development in the Taihu basin since late 1970s. Heavy metals in the surface sediments
have certain potential biological toxicity as shown by the higher SEM/AVS ratio. 相似文献

The mobility of selected heavy metals in contaminated soil at a previous industrial site in Brisbane, Australia, was assessed using a sequential extraction technique. Copper, Pb, Zn, Cr, Fe, and Mn were extracted from the soil solution/exchangeable, carbonate, Fe and Mn oxides, and organic matter fractions. The amounts of metals adsorbed by these fractions were used as an indicator of each metal's mobility in the soil. Copper and Pb were largely adsorbed by the organic and oxide fractions, while a significant amount of Zn was extracted from the carbonate fraction. The potential mobility and biological availability of the metals in these soils is Zn > Cr = Cu ≈ Pb. Soils were also analyzed using the toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) to determine whether the contaminated soil could be disposed of by landfilling. The leachability of all metals from the soils was very low, with metal concentrations below the allowable limits. The TCLP also showed that Zn was the most mobile metal in these soils. An environmental and health risk assessment was undertaken, and it was concluded that the site did not represent a risk despite the “total”; concentrations of some metals being up to 40 times the investigation threshold value adopted in Australia. 相似文献

To investigate the impact of water impoundment on the metal contamination in sediments cores from the three tributaries of Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR), the concentrations, distribution, bioavailability, and potential risk of eight trace metals between summer and winter were analyzed using sequential analysis. The mean contents of all studied metals were higher than the geochemical background value, and were higher in summer than in winter. The results of the partitioning study indicated that Cr and Ni prevailed in the residual fraction, while a small proportion was found in the easily soluble fractions. Cu and Zn were distributed mainly in the residual and reducible fraction, while Cd and Pb were predominantly associated with non-residual fractions. These observations suggested that the most easily mobilized metals in the study area were Cd and Pb. The mean enrichment factors (EF) of Cu, Zn, Cd and Hg were higher than 1.5, revealing the potential anthropogenic inputs, whilst the EF of other metals remained within the range of natural variability. The positive correlation between non-residual Cu, Zn and Cd and their EF values further indicated that anthropogenic inputs were the potentially major contributor for the enrichment of Cu, Zn and Cd in TGR sediments. The results evaluated by both potential ecological risk index and modified risk assessment code (mRAC) of all sampling sites demonstrated the relatively high potential risk of sediment contamination effect in TGR. 相似文献

In this study, an assessment is made of the environmental impacts of heavy metal concentration and fractionation in bed sediments of the saline Maharlu Lake, SW Iran. Total elemental analysis indicated that sediments were highly enriched in Pb and Cd. Sequential extraction analysis revealed that salt of the lake is probably highly contaminated with Cd, Pb, and Co. Due to the oxidizing conditions of the lake, the organic matter fraction of the elements was not significant. In all sediments, Cd, Pb, Co, Mn, and Zn were strongly associated with exchangeable plus carbonate fractions, with mean percentage of 76.4%, 65.3%, 56%, 40.9%, and 34.3%, respectively. On average, the percentage of Ni associated with the sum of the exchangeable and carbonate fractions was 19.8%. Cr, Fe, and Cu fractionation indicated that these metals are environmentally inert and immobile. Statistical relationships among metal fractions and sediment properties showed that Cd, Pb, Zn, Ni, Co, and Mn were mainly from recent anthropogenic sources, while such sources were less important for Cr, Cu, and Fe. The latter metals represented natural geochemical levels. 相似文献

AbstractMetal fractionation is a powerful tool for studying the mobility, bioavailability and toxicity of metals in sediments and soils. A seven-step sequential extraction technique was used to determine the potential mobility of selected heavy metals (Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd and Ni) in the sediments of Lake Naivasha. Results indicate that residual fraction was the most important phase for the elements Fe, Mn, Cu and Zn. However, Pb and Cd are highly enriched in the non-residual phases. Nickel on the other hand was distributed evenly between the non-residual and the residual fractions.The total concentrations of the heavy metals suggested a decreasing order of iron ?> manganese ? zinc > nickel > copper ? lead > cadmium. However, the detailed sequential extraction data indicated an order of release or mobility of cadmium > lead ? nickel ? zinc > manganese > copper > iron. The high percentage of Cd and Pb in the mobile fractions suggests high bioavailability of these two elements in the study area and maybe a pointer to anthropogenic input of the two elements in the study area. 相似文献

This paper describes a laboratory study that examined the effect of pyrolysis treatment on the behavior of Hg, Cr, Zn, Pb, Cu and Cd in a stream sediment. The influences of pyrolysis on the evaporation, sequential extraction and leaching behavior of these metals were investigated. Cr, Zn, Pb and Cu were retained quantitively in the solid residue at temperatures up to 800°C while mercury and cadmium were completely or partially evaporated. The metal form distribution in the sludge samples was determined by the sequential extraction procedure. The procedure revealed that as a consequence of pyrolysis, the metals were more strongly fixed in the treated sediment, as could be seen by the decrease with temperature of the first two sequential-extracted fractions and increase of the residue fraction. The leaching results showed that the quantities of the studied metals leached in the two pyrolysis samples were lower than those in the untreated sediment. The amounts of metals leached from the pyrolysis residues correlated significantly with the first extracted fraction (exchangeable fraction). 相似文献

AbstractThe chemical partitioning of Cu, Pb and Zn was examined in the soil profile of the woodland system in Keoladeo National Park, India using a five-step sequential extraction procedure (SEP). Metal partitioning was assessed in the soil up to a depth of 100cm with 25-cm intervals. The amount of metals obtained from the SEP exceeded pseudototal metal levels obtained from aqua regia digestion. The SEP results showed high preferential attachment of metals with Fe—Mn hydroxides. All the three metals showed least preferences to the exchangeable pool. The attachment of metals to the OM-S phase was also less, may be because of the low organic matter in the soil. In the case of Cu, the order of the fractions in terms of metal concentrations was Fe—Mn>RES>OM-S>CA>EXC and in the case of Pb the order was Fe—Mn>OM-S>RES>CA>EXC. Zn was different from Cu and Pb in showing higher affinity towards RES phase and the order of its concentration was RES>Fe—Mn>OM-S>EXC>CA. This suggests hydrous oxides of Fe—Mn as an important binding site for Cu and Pb, whereas silicate mineral matrix (RES phase) for Zn. 相似文献

The extractable contents of Zn, Pb, Cu, Cr, Mn, Ni, Fe and Al were evaluated in sediments from the Lis River (Portugal) using the three-step sequential extraction procedure described by Community Bureau of Reference (BCR, now the Standards, Measurement and Testing Programme) of the European Union. The distribution of trace metals among the exchangeable, water and acid soluble, reducible, oxidizable and residual fractions was determined. The highest metal concentrations were observed in samples collected at the most polluted river sites (animal husbandry, domestic, industrial and agricultural wastes). Pb, Cu, Cr, Ni, Fe and Al were found mainly associated with the residual and organic fractions. High concentrations of Zn and Mn were found in the exchangeable/acid soluble fraction. 相似文献

This study concentrates on the speciation and distribution patterns of some heavy metals (Pb, Ni, Cd, Zn, and Cu) in surface sediments in the southern part of the Caspian Sea, the biggest lake in the world, to obtain an overall classification for the origins of metals in the area using a sequential extraction technique. At all sampling stations, Pb, Ni, Zn, and Cu were mostly (>50%) accumulated in the resistant fraction, which indicated that there were no significant anthropogenic inputs of Pb, Ni, Zn, and Cu into the surface sediments of the south Caspian Sea. Guilan province on the west coast of Caspian Sea accumulated higher percentages of non-resistant fractions of Pb and Zn, while Mazandaran and Golestan provinces in the middle and western parts of the Caspian Sea, in the Iranian zone, accumulated higher percentages of non-resistant fractions of Ni and Cu. The present study revealed that the coastal area of the south Caspian Sea is still not seriously contaminated. Cadmium in Guilan and Golestan provinces were dominated by non-resistant fractions (55–69%), which indicated more anthropogenic inputs of Cd on the south coast of the Caspian Sea in comparison with other metals. 相似文献

The roles of the extractable components (Mn oxides, Fe oxides, and organic materials) of surficial sediments in controlling metals adsorption were investigated. Cu and Zn adsorptions were conducted before and after the surficial sediments extracted with hydroxylamine hydrochloride, an oxalate solution, and H 2 O 2 , respectively. The extraction removed target components with extraction efficiencies from 63 to 98%. Nonlinear regression analyses of Cu and Zn adsorptions based on the assumption of additive Langmuir adsorption isotherm were employed to estimate the relative contributions of sediment components to Cu and Zn adsorptions. The results indicate that the greatest contribution to total Cu and Zn adsorption to the surficial sediments on a molar basis was from Mn oxides in the extractable fractions. Both Cu and Zn adsorption capacities of Mn oxides exceeded those of Fe oxides by approximately one order of magnitude, fewer roles were attributed to the adsorption of organic material (OM), and the estimated contribution of the residual fraction to total Cu and Zn adsorption was insignificant. These information implied that the roles of metal oxides (Fe and Mn oxides) in the extractable form of the surficial sediments, especially Mn oxides, was the most important component in controlling heavy metal transportation in aquatic environments. 相似文献

AbstractA five-step sequential extraction procedure was applied to organic-rich soil samples from five soil profiles situated 1–8 km from a zinc smelter. The partitioning of Zn, Cd, Pb, and Cu into five operationally defined fractions (exchangeable, “carbonate’’-bound, reducible, oxidizable, and residual) was studied at different soil depths down to 35cm. In the surface soil (0–1 cm) a major part of Pb and Cu was extracted in the oxidizable fraction, whereas for Zn and Cd slightly more was extracted in the ‘‘carbonate”-fraction than in the other four fractions. Extracted metal proportions in the oxidizable fraction were respectively of the order of 30%, 20%, 50%, and 80% for Zn, Cd, Pb, and Cu in the surface soil for all sites, but these proportions decreased with soil depth. In the surface soil less than 20% of all the elements were extracted in the residual fraction, but the proportions associated with this fraction generally increased with soil depth. In the C-horizon, differences in extracted proportions of Pb and Cu in the residual fraction were probably due to geochemical factors, whereas for Zn the low extracted proportion at a highly contaminated site (20%) may be due to Zn migration to the C-horizon at this site. For Cd the extracted proportions in the C-horizon were lower than for the other elements, generally below 20%, presumably because Cd is weaker in terms of its adsorption to the soil than the other elements studied. Total concentrations of the metals decreased strongly with increasing distance from the smelter, but less systematic differences were observed for their distributions among fractions. Potentially bioavailable metal proportions (exchangeable + “carbonate”-bound fraction) in the surface soil were about 50%, 60%, 20%, and 10% for Zn, Cd, Pb, and Cu, respectively. In C-horizon soil the mobility sequence Cd>Zn>Pb = Cu was generally observed. The present results indicate that the concentrations and chemical fractionation of Zn, Pb, and Cd in these soils represent a considerable risk to natural terrestrial food chains. 相似文献

Metal Speciation and Contamination in Dredged Harbor Sediments from Kaohsiung Harbor,Taiwan 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The status of metal speciation and contamination of sediments in Kaohsiung Harbor, Taiwan, was evaluated by a five-step sequential extraction procedure (exchangeable, carbonate, Fe–Mn oxides, organic matter, and residual). Eleven dredged sediment samples from various locations in the harbor were characterized in terms of heavy metals, grain size, and total organic carbons. Results showed that Hg, Pb, Cd, Cr, Cu, Zn, Ni, and Mn had different species composition patterns. The degree of sediment contamination was determined for an individual contamination factor (ICF) and a global contamination factor (GCF); results showed that Kaohsiung Harbor had a high potential risk for Pb, Cd, Cr, and Cu. Based on GCF values, the results showed that those stations, located in the vicinity of the river mouth, fish port, and industrial sites, contributed high potential risk to Kaohsiung Harbor. The potential risk of heavy metals to the environment was assessed for risk using the risk assessment code (RAC) and results showed that Pb, Cd, Zn, and Mn generally created a medium to high risk, and Hg, Cr, Cu, and Ni generally created a low to medium risk. 相似文献

The Gulf of Cariaco is a marine ecosystem with high primary productivity, which gives it an ecological and socioeconomic importance. Nevertheless, anthropogenic activities around the Gulf produce wastes that are deposited directly or by runoff into the sediments, and consequently, increases concentrations of metals in this ecosystem. The objective of this study was to determine the distribution of cadmium, copper, lead, manganese, nickel and zinc in geochemical fractions of surface sediments, using modified BCR sequential extraction procedure. The concentrations were measured using flame atomic absorption spectroscopy. In addition, the contents of soluble and exchangeable metals associated to carbonate fractions, determined by BCR, were compared with those determined by the method of Campanella. Samples were collected in 12 stations during June 2007. The applied methodologies were evaluated with a certified reference material of marine sediments (HISS-1) and the results indicated that these methods provide adequate accuracy and precision for the extraction of metals. The total metal concentrations (microg g(-1)) were, Cd: < limit of detection (LD)-5.0; Pb: 1.79-60.41; Cu: no detected (ND)-42.18; Zn: 25.13-104.57; Mn: 66.31-80.29 and Ni: 3.29-24.58. Cd, Cu, Ni and Pb at several stations, exceeded the Canadian Sediment Quality Guidelines of the Lowest Effect Levels (LEL). Cadmium was identified as being the most mobile of the elements, having the highest concentrations in soluble and exchangeable cations and carbonates. However, Pb, Cu, Mn and Zn levels were found highly associated to organic matter and sulfide fractions. The methods did not show significant statistical differences for the extraction of soluble and exchangeable cations and the metals associated to carbonate fraction. There are several significant correlations between heavy metals, which suggest their common origin. 相似文献

AbstractThe relationships are evaluated between the heavy metal species in sediments and the accumulation by the soft tissues of Saccostrea cucullata collected from the northern and southern coasts of Qeshm Island, Persian Gulf. The sequential extraction technique was employed to fractionate the sediment into non resistant and resistant fractions. Data from sequential extractions indicated that the metals were mainly associated with the residual fraction at the north coast and with non residual fractions at the south coast. The results showed that the best correlations were observed between heavy metals concentrations in soft tissues and the fractions in the southern sediment. Note that the bioavailability of trace metals is influenced by the chemical characteristics and properties of the sediment. Therefore, the present results generally supported the use of soft tissues of S. cucullata as a more accurate biomonitoring organism for Cu, Pb and Cd in sediments from the southern coast of Qeshm Island, Persian Gulf. 相似文献
