چکیده

estuaries are well known for their potential in removing metal from fresh water to provide micro-nutrients to aquatic life. in the present investigation, we have tried to bring out the metal removal potential of estuaries during accidental spills. for this purpose artificial river water containing high concentration of mn, cu, zn, ni and pb were mixed with sea water at different salinity regimes. water samples were taken from a station on the main branch of tajan river that flows in to the caspian sea. for this purpose, solutions with a concentration of 5 mg/l of each studied metal (mn,cu, zn, pb) were prepared in tajan river water. the salinity regimes include 3, 6, 8, 10 and 11 ppt. it was noted that metal concentration decreased by increasing salinity. metals were flocculated at different rates: cu (88%) > ni (86%) > pb (84%) > mn (74%).thus, as average about 80% of total elemental content flocculates. hence, it was concluded that a large amount of micro nutrients is carried by the river and flocculated in the estuary where the river water mixes with the sea water which may play a vital role in supplying nutrients to the aquatic animals. cluster analyses have shown that mn and ni are governed by ec, ph and salinity.

Role of estuarine natural flocculation process in removal of Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn

The flocculation of dissolved heavy metals is a process which has an important effect on decreasing the concentration of the colloidal elements during estuarine mixing of river water and sea or ocean water. During this important process, a large amount of colloidal elements change into particles in the form of flock and the dissolved loads decline. This study is performed to evaluate the mechani...

Study of trace metals during estuarine mixing of Jarahi River water with the Musa Estuary water

Flocculation of metals is one of the most important estuarine processes that occur due to the mixing of seawater and river water and colloidal metals undergo this process come in the form of flocculants. Due to the important role of flocculation process in producing suitable food sources for aquatic organisms and reducing the amount of input pollution into aquatic environments, the present stud...

Biomonitoring of Trace Metals in Estuarine and Marine Environments

In assessing the distributions of trace metals in aquatic environments as a prerequisite to any study of the variation of local toxic metal contamination over space and time, it is tempting to measure dissolved and/or sediment concentrations. A third and preferred alternative, however, is the measurement of accumulated trace metal concentrations in selected organisms, termed biomonitors. Such c...
