Abstract

Diffusive equilibrium (DET) and diffusive gradient in thin film (DGT) techniques with an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry detection of elements were applied to characterize uranium, manganese, iron and U-238/U-235 isotopic ratio depth profiles in sediment pore water at high spatial resolution and to monitor uranium uptake/remobilization processes in uranium spiked sediment core samples under laboratory, well controlled conditions. Modified constrained sediment DGT probes, packed with Spheron-Oxin (R) resin gel, were employed for selective uranium measurements. Spatially resolved DET and DGT responses were indicative of local redistribution of uranium in naturally uranium poor and rich sediments. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Study on antimony mobility in a contaminated shallow lake sediment using the diffusive gradients in thin films technique

Cheng Yao, Feifei Che, Xia Jiang, Zhihao Wu, Junyi Chen, Kun Wang

Summary: The study revealed that under the influence of pollutants discharged by textile plants, the concentrations of antimony compounds in the sediment of shallow lakes are relatively high. Antimony was found to be immobile in the oxygen-rich layer, but released along with other elements in the anoxic environment, depending on the redox conditions and the labile antimony content in the sediment. The mobility of antimony in shallow lakes and wetland sediments should be carefully considered when assessing the potential ecological risks.

Investigation of diffusion and binding properties of uranium in the diffusive gradients in thin-films technique

Hao Cheng, Yanying Li, Hamid Pouran, William Davison, Hao Zhang

Summary: This study demonstrated that the diffusion coefficient of uranium is independent of pH and the type of binding gel used, as long as the binding efficiency (B) is taken into account. These findings suggest that DGT equipped with either Metsorb or Chelex binding gels can accurately measure uranium under various environmental conditions.

Simultaneous determination of arsenic and uranium by the diffusive gradients in thin films technique using Lewatit FO 36: Optimization of elution protocol

Vendula Smolikova, Pavlina Pelcova, Andrea Ridoskova, Martine Leermakers

Summary: In this study, the Lewatit FO 36-DGT resin gel showed high uptake efficiency for uranium and a new elution protocol was proposed for simultaneous elution of arsenic and uranium. The elution efficiencies for As and U were found to be satisfactory, and the new protocol also allowed for fast and simple analysis of both elements using ICP-MS. This suggests that the Lewatit FO 36-DGT technique could become more widely used in laboratories without the need for modifications to existing analytical methods.

Diffusive gradients in thin films for transfer of phosphorus, nitrate and ammonium in lake sediments

Zhihao Wu, Xia Jiang, Junyi Chen, Shuhang Wang

Summary: In this study, a passive sampling technique called diffusion gradients in thin films (DGT) was used to investigate the biogeochemical behaviors and dynamic transfer of PO4-P, NH4-N, and NO3-N in sediments of Lake Hulun in China. Based on the analysis of DGT concentration profiles and redox status, it was found that the release of phosphorus (P) is mainly controlled by the reductive dissolution of Mn(IV) or Fe(III) (oxyhydr)oxides, while the release of ammonium (NH4-N) is influenced by denitrification and dissimilatory nitrate reduction. The results of this study provide valuable information for lake pollution control and sediment remediation strategies.

Novel insight into ammonium, phosphate, and iron(II) dynamics in the sediment porewater of a constructed wetland under artificial aeration through the diffusive equilibrium in thin films technique

Danielle J. Allen, Jianyin Huang, Mark Farrell, Luke M. Mosley

Summary: The analysis of porewater concentrations in constructed wetland sediments using DET techniques revealed the sources and sinks of nutrients and their impact on water quality. Aeration of the water column improved oxygen levels and redox potential in the sediment, leading to decreased ammonium concentrations but increased phosphate and ferrous iron concentrations. Nitrate concentrations were below the detection limit, indicating limited nitrification-denitrification processes. The results highlight the usefulness of DET techniques in quantifying nutrient concentrations in constructed wetlands under different environmental conditions.

Combined use of high-resolution dialysis, diffusive gradient in thin films (DGT) technique, and conventional methods to assess trace metals in reservoir sediments

Eyram Norgbey, Yiping Li, Ya Zhu, Amechi S. Nwankwegu, Robert Bofah-Buah, Linda Nuamah, Yashuai Pu

Summary: The study revealed that the black water events in Tianbao reservoir were mainly caused by high concentrations of TFe, Mn, and P in the sediments, as well as high organic matter from Eucalyptus plantation surrounding the reservoir and strong thermal stratification leading to hypoxia in the hypolimnion. The movement of Fe2+, Mn2+, S2-, P, and DOC at the water-sediment boundary due to their redox interactions resulted in the production of black substances in the hypolimnion, contributing to the phenomenon of black water reservoir.

Miniaturized ascorbic acid assay platform based on point discharge atomic emission spectrometry coupling with gold filament enrichment

Yanping Wang, Yuemei Chen, Kejun Li, Jinrong Zhou, Xin Yuan, Mei Zhang, Ke Huang

Summary: In this work, a portable analytical system based on point discharge chemical vapor generation atomic emission spectrometry (PD-CVG-AES) coupling with gold filament enrichment was designed. The highly sensitive analysis of Hg2+ indirectly realized the detection of ascorbic acid (AA). The measurement is based on the fact that Ag+ can decrease the concentration of Hg2+ by forming Ag-Hg amalgam in the presence of the reductant SnCl2, while AA can pre-reduce Ag+ to Ag0, leading to the generation of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs). The developed novel analytical strategy broadens the application of microplasma-based AES and offers a higher level of sensitivity compared to current AA detection techniques.
