Distribution of Trace Elements in Meromictic Pit Lake
نویسنده
چکیده
Studies were conducted at the deepest location of the meromictic Piaseczno pit lake, southern Poland, which was created in abandoned sulphur opencast. Pearson correlation and PCA were used to established the relationship between the elements and physico-chemical parameters of the water, whereas discriminant test to study vertical and time differentiation of Cd, Pb, Sr, Cu, Zn, Mn, and Fe concentrations. The results indicated both vertical (except Cu and Zn) and time differentiations of studied elements in the lake water. The highest concentrations of Cd, Pb, and Sr were found in the monimolimnion, that of Mn and Fe in the anoxic water. Depth profiles of Cu and Zn did not show any pronounced trend. Pb and Sr distributions in the water were related to alkalinity, Cl− and COD, Cd to alkalinity and Cl−, Mn and Fe to the redox conditions, Mn to water pH, and Fe to the alkalinity. The upper (0–15 cm) layer of the sediment consisted mainly of S (24.2 Atom%), Fe (21.62%), Ca (18.4%), Si (14.3%), and (Al 6.3%) and reflected mainly processes proceeded in the anoxic water-sediment interface. Calculated accumulation coefficients (Kd) of the elements in the sediment are discussed.

Interactions between trace elements and dissolved organic matter in the stagnant anoxic deep layer of a meromictic lake
About 80% and more than 90% of the dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the bottom water of Lake Pavin were isolated, respectively, on Amberlite XAD and Spherodex DEAE resins. Trace element concentrations in the fractions isolated were analyzed by using ICP-MS. Uranium, molybdenum, and antimony were found to be about 40% associated with fulvic and hydrophilic acids adsorbed on XAD resins at pH 2, ...

متن کاملMeromixis as a part of lake evolution — observations and a revised classification of true meromictic lakes in Finland
Based on Finnish lakes, meromixis is viewed from a paleolimnological perspective as a part of lake evolution. The study concludes that theoretical search of meromictic lakes is almost impossible, due to inconsistent and insufficient basic data and the complexity of meromixis as a phenomenon. An estimation of possible Finnish meromictic lakes turned out to be a few dozen. Meromictic lakes are mo...
متن کاملFormation of a deep pit lake: case study of Aguas Claras, Brazil
The paper presents the case study of the current formation of a Brazilian pit lake from an iron ore mining activity. The water used for the filling of the lake comes from rain, ground water and the complementary pumpage from a close river. At its final stage, which will be reached around year 2018, Lake Aguas Claras will have a surface area of 0.67 km2 and the depth of 234 m, which will make it...
