Štúdium viazania stopových prvkov v sedimente vodnej nádrže Ružín Pre účely posúdenia možnosti využitia fyzikálnych a fyzikálno-chemických metód separácie, vybraná vzorka sedimentu z Ružína bola podrobené 5-stupňovej procedúre sekvenčnej extrakcie (SE) podľa Tessiera (Tessier et al., 1979) a Horowitza (Horowitz, 1991). Vo výluhoch bolo stanovované zastúpenie konštitučných (Fe, Mn, Ca a Mg) ako ...

A novel fractionation method, based on both particle size and settling characteristics, was employed to examine metal distributions among five fractions. In-stream and stormwater runoff samples were collected from four land use types: highway, urban, agricultural (storm event and irrigation), and natural. Highway samples contained the highest dissolved concentrations for most metals, and freshw...

The Bolesław-Bukowno mining area in Poland is highly polluted by elements such as Zn, Pb, Cd and As. The reactivity and mobility of toxic elements such as Tl are poorly known. Here, we studied by sequential extraction the mobility of As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Mo, Pb, Tl and Zn in sediments from two water reservoirs near Bukowno. Results show that available As, Co, Mn, Pb and Zn are found in carbo...

This study investigated bioreduction of selenite by anaerobic granular sludge in the presence of heavy metals and analyzed the fate of the bioreduced selenium and the heavy metals. Selenite bioreduction was not significantly inhibited in the presence of Pb(II) and Zn(II). More than 92% of 79 mg/L selenite was removed by bioreduction even in the presence of 150 mg/L of Pb(II) or 400mg/L of Zn(II...

−Three kinds of biochars (called poplar branch biochar (PBC), water hyacinth biochar (WHC), and corn straw biochar (CSC)) were prepared in a fixed-bed pyrolyzer at different pyrolysis temperature of 300-700 C. The effects of biochar species, pyrolysis temperature and biochar addition on adsorption characteristics of typical heavy metals (HMs) of Pb and Zn in vegetable soil (collected from lead-...

Heavy metal contamination of soils resulting from mining and smelting is causing major concern due to the potential risk involved. This study was designed to investigate the heavy metal (Cu, Zn, Pb and Cd) concentrations in soils and food crops and estimate the potential health risks of metals to humans via consumption of polluted food crops grown at four villages around the Dabaoshan mine, Sou...

singularity based on fractal and multifractal is a technique for detection of depletion and enrichment for geochemical exploration, while the index of vertical geochemical zonality (vz) of pb.zn/cu.ag is a practical method for exploration of blind porphyry copper mineralization. in this study, these methods are combined for recognition, delineation, and enrichment of vz in jebal- barez in the s...

The Camaquã Mines, in the central-southern region of Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil, contain largest deposits base metals (Camaquã, Cu; Santa Maria, Pb-Zn) Basin. host rocks are consisted sandstones and conglomerates Bárbara Group interbedded volcanic undefined stratigraphic position. Peperitic features were identified a mineralized trachytic sill. An age 565 ± 5 Ma (U-Pb LA-MC-ICP-MS) was obt...

Heavy metals in outdoor and indoor airborne particulate matter (PM) and dust in different residential built environmentsat two rural and one urban site in Pakistan were analysed. An eight stage non-viable impactor (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., USA) loaded with EMP 2000 glass microfiber filter papers (Whatman, England) was used to collect airborne PM.The indoordust samples (settled dust) were ...
