概括
气态元素的白天挥发会从水生系统中去除. 悬浮固体限制了光还原,但海洋混合可能会在潮河口附近增强光还原.
科学领域:
- 环境化学环境化学
- 水银生物地质化学 水银生物地质化学
- 水生生态系统 水生生态系统
背景情况:
- 气态元素 (Hg(0) aq) 的白天挥发是水生环境中一个关键的去除途径.
- 这个过程可能会影响甲基的产生和生物积累.
- 了解影响Hg(0)aq的因素对于命运和运输研究至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 为了研究太阳辐射,溶解有机物,盐度和悬浮颗粒在白天对物种的影响.
- 在高潮河口附近同时测量气态元素 (Hg(0) aq和其他形式 (THg,ERM,THgTSS).
- 为了比较测量的Hg(0)aq与经验模型的预测,并评估物种的光降解性.
主要方法:
- 同时测量太阳辐射 (紫外线),溶解有机物,盐度和总悬浮颗粒.
- 物种的量化:Hg(0) aq,溶解的总 (THg),容易降解的 (ERM),以及与总悬浮固体相关的 (THgTSS).
- 现场数据与Hg(0)aq预测的既定实证模型进行比较.
主要成果:
- 在未过的表面水中没有观察到Hg0aq的可预测时间变化,其度从0到12 pg L-1不等.
- 总 (THg) 范围从0到492 pg L-1 ,易降解 (ERM) 从13到381 pg L-1 ,以及悬浮固体上的 (THg TSS) 从1.58 ng g-1到261.32 ng g-1.
- 悬浮固体显著限制紫外线的传输,抑制Hg(0) aq的产生. 在ERM度并不能可靠地预测in-situ光降解Hg.
结论:
- 对于光还原的可用性在潮河口附近比经验模型预测的要高.
- 悬浮固体的高度通过限制紫外线透来抑制光降解.
- 由于海洋混合而减少的悬浮固体,预计将促进快速的Hg (II) 光还原.

Factors Affecting Solubility
33.5K
Compared with pure water, the solubility of an ionic compound is less in aqueous solutions containing a common ion (one also produced by dissolution of the ionic compound). This is an example of a phenomenon known as the common ion effect, which is a consequence of the law of mass action that may be explained using Le Chȃtelier’s principle. Consider the dissolution of silver iodide:

Precipitation and Co-precipitation
1.8K
Precipitation and coprecipitation methods can be used to separate a mixture of ions in a solution. In qualitative inorganic analysis, ions that form sparingly soluble precipitates with the same reagent are separated based on the differences in solubility products. For example, consider the separation of Cu(II) and Fe(II) ions by precipitation as insoluble sulfides. First, copper(II) sulfide is precipitated by the addition of acidic H2S, where the dissociation of H2S is suppressed. Adding H2S...

Osmoregulation in Fishes
49.8K
When cells are placed in a hypotonic (low-salt) fluid, they can swell and burst. Meanwhile, cells in a hypertonic solution—with a higher salt concentration—can shrivel and die. How do fish cells avoid these gruesome fates in hypotonic freshwater or hypertonic seawater environments?
