Gaud.). [Methods] Based on Xiangzhu No.3 and Zhongzhu No.1, we conducted research on heavy metals contents of plants growing in soil of Qibao Mountain orefield in Liuyang, Hunan Province, and on characteristics of enrichment and transfer of heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Cd, Zn) under influence of the two ramie species. [Result] It was concluded that trend of Cu content in different parts of ramie was as follows: rootskinleafbone; trend of Pb was rootleafskinbone; trend of Cd was rootskinboneleaf; the trend of Zn was rootskinboneleaf. In farmland A (with low content of heavy metal), for per square meter of plough horizon, effect of Zhong 1 on heavy metals transferring volume and the period for restoration of the soil into national standard one (Category Ⅲ of Environmental Quality Standard for Soil) have been concluded. Specifically, for Cu, the corresponding values were 3 404.44 mg and 8.59 y, respectively; for Pb, the values were 3 638.5 mg and 13.52 y; for Cd, the values were 720.48 mg and 1.49 y; for Zn, the values were 37 324.8 mg and 0.67 y. [Conclusion] Soil contaminated by Cu, Pb, Cd, and Zn in orefield can be rapidly restored by growing ramie.展开更多

Results reveal that all heavy metals/metalloid exceeded the background values for soil environmental quality of heavy metals in Guizhou area. Geo-accumulation index(I_(geo)) showed that arsenic had the highest contamination level(I_(geo)=4) among the seven heavy metals/metalloid, and the contamination levels of mercury and lead were also relatively high(I_(geo)=3). Pearson correlation and cluster analysis identified that mercury, copper and arsenic had a relationship, and their presence might be mainly related to mining activity, coal and oil combustion, and vehicle emissions. Improved Nemerow index indicated that the overall level of heavy metal contamination in the studied area ranged from moderately–heavily contaminated to heavily contaminated level. Potential ecological risk index(R_I) analysis manifested that the whole ecological risk level ranged from high degree to very high degree(325.30≤R_I≤801.02) in the studied soil samples, and the potential ecological risk factors (E_r^i) of heavy metals/metalloid were as follows: Hg > As > Cd > Pb > Cu > Ni > Cr, and the E_r^i of Hg and As reached very high risk grade.展开更多

The ...Total contents of heavy metals ( Pb, Cr, Cd, Hg, As, Cu, Zn, and Ni) in 68 soil samples were determined to evaluate the contamination level of soil from five coal mine areas in Xingren County, Guizhou province. The pollution levels of heavy metals were characterized by anthro- pogenic influence multiple, and the pollution of heavy metal in soil was evaluated using geo-accumulation index. Based on the health risk models recommended by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ( US EPA), the health risks of heavy metals in the soils were assessed. The results showed that the abandoned land in the five coal mining areas were contaminated by heavy metals, and the order of pollution levels of eight heavy metals was As 〉 Pb 〉 Cu 〉 Hg 〉 Ni 〉 Cr 〉 Cd 〉 Zn. The soils suffered moderate-heavy pollution from As and Pb, and the contents of As and Pb in the soils were 13.16 and 4.76 times higher than the background values of Guizhou Province, followed by Cu, Hg and Ni , while soil pollution from Cr, Cd and Zn was mild. The order of non-caminogenic risks of the heavy metals in the soils was As 〉 Pb 〉 Cr 〉 Ni 〉 Cu 〉 Hg 〉 Cd 〉 Zn, and the non-carcinogenic dsk value of As was higher than that its threshold value 1, which indicated that As had a high potential health risk to adults and children. The order of carcinogen risks of the four heavy metals was As 〉 Cd 〉 Cr 〉 Ni, and the carcinogenic risk value of As was higher than its threshold value, indicating that As had a high carcinogenic risk to adults and children. The carcinogenic risk values of other three heavy metals ( Cd, Cr and Ni) were lower than the threshold value, so they had no carcinogenic risk to human health. Moreover, children were more sensitively affect- ed by heavy metals from the abandoned land. Therefore, the health of children in such areas should be paid more attention to. The HI value of the eight heavy metals to children was seven times higher than that to adults. The contribution rate of HQAs to HI was about 88%, and the contribution rate of CRA, to TCR was about 98%, so As was the most crucial factor influencing non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic dsk in the abandoned soils.展开更多

Efficient recovery of this non-ferrous metal resource requires state-of-the-art separation technologies and a continuous feedback of laboratory analyses of the metal products and the depleted bottom ash to the operators of the bottom ash treatment plants. A methodology is presented for the optimization of the production of non-ferrous metal value from Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator bottom ash. Results for an incineration plant in the Netherlands show that efficient recycling can have a significant impact on value recovery as well as on non-ferrous metal recycling rates, producing up to 8% more revenue and 25% more metals from the ash.展开更多

These elements i...The spatial distribution characteristics of six heavy metals and metalloid in soil of Zhuji Lipu copper mining area, Zhejiang Province, was studied by using geostatistics approaches combined with GIS. These elements included Pb, As, Cr, Cu, Zn and Ni. The statistical analyses showed that concentrations of these elements were lognormal distribution. Concentrations of Pb, As, Cu, Zn and Ni were strongly correlated with each other indicating that these elements in soils may be from the same pollution source. However, accumulation of Cr was unique with its geometric mean being close to that in the control soil. This indicates that Cr content was mainly influenced by soil factors. The Kriging method was applied to estimate the unobserved points. The Kriging interpolation maps reflected significant spatial distribution of these elements as influenced by both pollution and geological factors. The present study indicated that GIS based geostatistics method could accurately analyze the spatial variation of heavy metals and metalloid in the mining area. Overall, higher concentrations of heavy metals and metalloid were found in the center of both the north and south sides. The content of copper in the south was significantly higher than that in the north due to paddy field land uses. In addition, the terrain of four terraces tilted to the center and the broad irrigation accident occurred in the 4th trench in the south of sampling area were also contributed to the higher concentrations of these elements.展开更多

An e nvironmental geochemical investigation was carried out in and around the Panzhih ua mining and smelting area to determine the extent of chemical contamination in soil and sediment. The main objective of this study was to investigate the envi ronmental geochemistry of Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Cu, Pb, Zn and As in soil and sediment and to assess the degree of pollution in the study area. The data of heavy metal concentrations reveal that soils and sediments in the area have been slightly c ontaminated. Geochemical maps of I\-\{geo\} of each heavy metal show that the co ntaminated sites are located in V-Ti-magnetite sloping and smelting, gangues d am. The pollution sources of the selected elements come mainly from dusts result ant from mining activities and other three-waste-effluents. The area needs to be monitored regularly for trace metal, especially heavy metal enrichment.展开更多

The results showed that the mean values of total As and Cd in the soil of the study area were 146 and 2.32 mg·kg<sup>-1</sup>, which were 8 and 10.5 times higher than the background values of soil environment in Yunnan Province and belonged to heavy pollution;the enrichment coefficients of As and Cd in maize were 0.1% and 5.7%, in wheat were 0.3% and 11.5%, in fava beans were 0.1% and 4.9%;the soil contamination indices in the four study areas of A, B, C, and D were 7.275, 6.797, 5.618, and 5.060, respectively. The results indicated that the soils in the study areas belonged to heavy contamination levels, and the enrichment ability of Cd in all three crops was stronger than that of As, with wheat being the strongest, As in the three crops and Cd in broad beans might be harmful to children. As in wheat and broad beans may be harmful to adults.展开更多

Moreover, children were more sensitively affect- ed by heavy metals from the abandoned land. Therefore, the health of children in such areas should be paid more attention to. The HI value of the eight heavy metals to children was seven times higher than that to adults. The contribution rate of HQAs to HI was about 88%, and the contribution rate of CRA, to TCR was about 98%, so As was the most crucial factor influencing non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic dsk in the abandoned soils.
文摘The bottom ashes resulted annually from the incineration of municipal solid waste in Europe contain about 400,000 tonnes of metallic aluminium and 200,000 tonnes of heavy non-ferrous metals, such as copper and zinc. Efficient recovery of this non-ferrous metal resource requires state-of-the-art separation technologies and a continuous feedback of laboratory analyses of the metal products and the depleted bottom ash to the operators of the bottom ash treatment plants. A methodology is presented for the optimization of the production of non-ferrous metal value from Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator bottom ash. Results for an incineration plant in the Netherlands show that efficient recycling can have a significant impact on value recovery as well as on non-ferrous metal recycling rates, producing up to 8% more revenue and 25% more metals from the ash.
文摘The spatial distribution characteristics of six heavy metals and metalloid in soil of Zhuji Lipu copper mining area, Zhejiang Province, was studied by using geostatistics approaches combined with GIS. These elements included Pb, As, Cr, Cu, Zn and Ni. The statistical analyses showed that concentrations of these elements were lognormal distribution. Concentrations of Pb, As, Cu, Zn and Ni were strongly correlated with each other indicating that these elements in soils may be from the same pollution source. However, accumulation of Cr was unique with its geometric mean being close to that in the control soil. This indicates that Cr content was mainly influenced by soil factors. The Kriging method was applied to estimate the unobserved points. The Kriging interpolation maps reflected significant spatial distribution of these elements as influenced by both pollution and geological factors. The present study indicated that GIS based geostatistics method could accurately analyze the spatial variation of heavy metals and metalloid in the mining area. Overall, higher concentrations of heavy metals and metalloid were found in the center of both the north and south sides. The content of copper in the south was significantly higher than that in the north due to paddy field land uses. In addition, the terrain of four terraces tilted to the center and the broad irrigation accident occurred in the 4th trench in the south of sampling area were also contributed to the higher concentrations of these elements.
文摘Mining and smelting activities are the main causes for the in creasing pollution of heavy metals in soil, water body and stream sediment. An e nvironmental geochemical investigation was carried out in and around the Panzhih ua mining and smelting area to determine the extent of chemical contamination in soil and sediment. The main objective of this study was to investigate the envi ronmental geochemistry of Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Cu, Pb, Zn and As in soil and sediment and to assess the degree of pollution in the study area. The data of heavy metal concentrations reveal that soils and sediments in the area have been slightly c ontaminated. Geochemical maps of I\-\{geo\} of each heavy metal show that the co ntaminated sites are located in V-Ti-magnetite sloping and smelting, gangues d am. The pollution sources of the selected elements come mainly from dusts result ant from mining activities and other three-waste-effluents. The area needs to be monitored regularly for trace metal, especially heavy metal enrichment.

文摘To identify the instability on large scale underground mined-out area in the metal mine effectively,the parameters of radial basis function were determined through clustering method and the improved fuzzy radial basis function neural network(FRBFNN)model of instability identification model about large scale underground mined-out area in the metal mine was built.The improved FRBFNN model was trained and tested.The results show that the improved FRBFNN model has high training accuracy and generalization ability.Parameters such as pillar area ratio,filling level and the value of rock quality designation have strong influence on instability of large scale underground mined-out area.Correctness of analysis about the improved FRBFNN model was proved by the practical application results about instability discrimination of surrounding rock in large-scale underground mined-out area of a metal mine in south China.
文摘In order to investigate the heavy metal contamination of soil-crop in mining-intensive areas of Gejiu stannary in Yunnan Province and its risk to human health, the single-factor contamination index method and the Nemero comprehensive contamination index method were used to evaluate the contamination risk of heavy metals (Cd and As) in the soil of mining-intensive areas, and the health risk evaluation model was used to study the risk brought by residents through the consumption of maize, wheat and broad beans. The results showed that the mean values of total As and Cd in the soil of the study area were 146 and 2.32 mg·kg<sup>-1</sup>, which were 8 and 10.5 times higher than the background values of soil environment in Yunnan Province and belonged to heavy pollution;the enrichment coefficients of As and Cd in maize were 0.1% and 5.7%, in wheat were 0.3% and 11.5%, in fava beans were 0.1% and 4.9%;the soil contamination indices in the four study areas of A, B, C, and D were 7.275, 6.797, 5.618, and 5.060, respectively. The results indicated that the soils in the study areas belonged to heavy contamination levels, and the enrichment ability of Cd in all three crops was stronger than that of As, with wheat being the strongest, As in the three crops and Cd in broad beans might be harmful to children. As in wheat and broad beans may be harmful to adults.

文摘Cadmium(Cd)has received widespread attention owing to its persistent toxicity and non-degradability.Cd in the human body is mainly absorbed from the external environment and is usually assessed using urinary Cd.Hunan Province is the heartland of the Chinese non-ferrous mining area,where several serious Cd pollution events have occurred,including high levels of Cd in the urine of residents.However,the environmental factors influencing high urinary Cd levels(UCLs)in nearby residents remain unclear.Therefore,211 nearby residents’UCLs and the corresponding sociological characteristics from nine groundwater samples in this area were analyzed using statistical analysis models.Groundwater Cd concentration ranged from 0.02 to 1.15μg/L,aligning with class III of the national standard;the range of UCL of nearby residents was 0.37–36.60μg/L,exceeding the national guideline of 0–2.5μg/L.Groundwater Cd levels were positively correlated with the UCL(P<0.001,correlation coefficient 95%CI=9.68,R^(2)=0.06).In addition,sociological characteristics,such as smoking status and education level,also affect UCL.All results indicate that local governments should strengthen the prevention and abatement of groundwater Cd pollution.This study is the first to systematically evaluate the relationship between groundwater Cd and UCL using internal and external environmental exposure data.These findings provide essential bases for relevant departments to reduce Cd exposure in regions where the heavy metal industry is globally prevalent.
文摘The subsided water areas with different times of subsidence are chosen to monitor the physicochemical indexes and heavy metal elements. The results indicate that subsided water areas are polluted in different degree. Some physicochemical indexes of subsided water areas are increased with the development of the subsidence and are changed with the changing of the season. The concentration of As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Se, Zn of subsided water areas is less than national fishery, and surface water quality standards of China , except Hg. And the quality of subsided water hasn't been polluted by heavy metal seriously. Analyzing and appraising the quality of the subsided water can give a reasonable data as basis in using the subsided water resource.
文摘本文基于2002—2022年期间,知网、万方、Web of Science数据库收录的矿区周边土壤重金属文献数据,采用Meta分析方法,探讨我国不同地区和矿种类别的矿山开采对土壤重金属分布特征的影响。同时,结合地累积指数法和潜在生态风险指数法评估矿区周边土壤重金属生态风险。Meta分析结果显示,我国矿区周边土壤中镉(Cd)、汞(Hg)、铜(Cu)、铅(Pd)、锌(Zn)、砷(As)、镍(Ni)和铬(Cr)的浓度相较于土壤背景值,分别增加了820.7%、309.6%、158.6%、158.6%、146.0%、103.4%、24.6%和15%,其中,Cd和Hg增加量较多。从地区来看,中南和西南地区的矿区周边土壤重金属的效应值较大,其重金属浓度增加量分别为285.7%和180.1%,其中西南、中南和华东地区矿山周边土壤中Cd、Hg、Zn、Pb和Cu的含量增加较为显著,华北和东北地区的Cd和As、西北地区的Cd和Hg增加较为显著。从矿种类型看,铅锌矿、多金属矿、铜矿、金矿、汞矿、钼矿、锰矿、锡矿和包含石墨矿等其他矿种的周边土壤重金属浓度增加量为166.4%~617.1%,其中铅锌矿开采会使得Cd、Hg、Pb和Zn显著累积,金矿开采对As、Hg和Pb累积显著,铜矿、石墨、硫铁矿等其他矿种对Cd和Cu的含量累积显著,各类型矿对Ni和Cr的累积影响都很小。地累积指数法和潜在生态风险指数法评价结果显示,我国矿区周边土壤Cd和Hg地累积污染指数分别达到中等和轻微污染等级,且大部分土壤位点二者都具有高等级的潜在生态风险,因此,需加强矿区周边重点重金属Cd和Hg的污染防治。
