The contents and characteristics of ten heavy metals in surface sediments from Yangzonghai Lake in Yunnan, China were analyzed. Ecological risk index presented by Håkanson to assess the potential ecological risk of Yangzonghai Lake was utilized. The results showed that the average concentrations of titanium(Ti), manganese(Mn), zinc(Zn), vanadium(V), chromium(Cr), copper(Cu), nickel(Ni), cobalt(Co),...
The present study was conducted to investigate the heavy metals (HMS) removal from aqueous solutions in Complex ecosystem filter (CEF) with vermiculite substrate. Experimental results showed that the CEF was highly effectively in removal of HMS and the average removal rates of Cu2+, Zn2+, Pb2+ and Cd2+ were 81.60%, 80.55%, 83.20% and 62.21% respectively, under the hydraulic loading of 2.0m3/m2.d....
With the Tessier Five-step Continuous Extracting Method, the thesis studied the form distribution of heavy metals in the sediment samples collected from Mochou Lake, Xuanwu Lake and Qinhuai River in Nanjing, analyzed the correlation between leaching contents of heavy metals and various forms and between content of organic matter and leachability of heavy metals and between organic matter and organic...
Twelve samples of surface sediment in Nanhu Lake, Wuhan city were collected and the concentrations of Organic Matter (OM), Total Nitrogen (TN), Total Phosphorus (TP), ammonia nitrogen (NH4+-N) and nitrate nitrogen (NO3--N) were determined; the average result were 6.58%, 3972, 1712, 897 and 20mg/kg separately. Cd, Hg, As, Cu, Pb, Cr and Zn were determined too; and the average value were 0.46, 0.140,...
The research reveals the distribution and correlation of heavy metals in groundwater of sewage irrigation area in Guangdong province. 14 groundwater samples were collected in August 2008, and the groundwater samples were filtrated through 0.45 μm membranes and acidified in the field. Determinations of Cd, Cu, Zn, Pb, Ni, and Cr in all the samples were performed using ICP-OES, and determinations of...
Taking the main pollution source of sewage river in north China as study object, concentrations of ammonia, chemical oxygen demand and heavy metals in sources of pollution and nearby water are determined. The two dimension steady river water quality models of ammonia and chemical oxygen demand are established, and the geometric characteristics of pollutant zone at downstream of the pollution source...
The remains of zooplankton subfossil and sediment characteristics were examined from a macrophyte dominated shallow lake Wuliangsuhai in Inner Mongolia, China, in order to study past limnological changes. The lake began to switch to eutrophication gradually in the middle 1980s, creating a Transitional Sediment Layer (TSL, about 17 cm depth) that can be visually used to separate sediments derived from...
Batch experiments were carried out to investigate heavy metal ions adsorption properties of steel slag, the results showed that steel slag could be used as an effective adsorbent to removal heavy metals such as Cr3+,Cu2+,Pb2+and Zn2+ from the aqueous solution. For the heavy metal Cr3+, the removal yield increased with increasing contact time and reached the equilibrium state within lh; The removal...
