[Comparison Study of the Alkanes in Different Aquifer Medium Under Qingmuguan Underground System]
Abstract:
Dissolved alkanes were collected from Dalv spring and Jiangjia spring from July to November, 2013, and were quantitatively analyzed by the gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS). The results show that the total content of dissolved alkanes in Dalv spring is 175-3279 ng x L(-1), with a mean value of 1011 ng x L(-1). In Jiangjia spring, the total content of dissolved alkanes is 282-775 ng x L(-1), with a mean value of 527 ng x L(-1). Ratios of the content of alkanes with high carbon number( C25-C32) to the total alkanes vary from 27.89% to 52.92% in Dalv spring, and 23.66% to 49.73% in Jangjia spring. Combined with CPI and OEP the relative contribution to the dissolved alkanes of higher plants are increasing in Dalv spring, however, it is different in Jiangjia spring. In addition, the values of L/H couldn't reflect different organic contributions to the dissolved alkanes, and the values of TAR may relate with rainfall.
