The benthic sediments in Lake Coeur d'Alene, northern Idaho, have been contaminated by metals (primarily Zn, Pb, and Cu) from decades of upstream mining activities. As part of ongoing research on the biogeochemical cycling of metals in this area, a diffusive reactive-transport model has been developed to simulate metal transport in the lake sediments. The model includes 1-D inorganic diffusive transport coupled to a biotic reaction network with multiple terminal electron acceptors under redox disequilibrium conditions. Here, the model is applied to evaluate the competing effects of heavy-metal mobilization through biotic reductive dissolution of Fe(III) (hydr)oxides, and immobilization as biogenic sulfide minerals. Results indicate that the relative rates of Fe and sulfate reduction could play an important role in metal transport through the environment, and that the formation of (bi)sulfide complexes could significantly enhance metal solubility, aswell as desorption from Fe hydroxides. © 2007 Taylor & Francis Group, London.

Heavy Metal-Mineral Associations in Coeur d'Alene River Sediments: A Synchrotron-Based Analysis Moberly, James G.; Borch, Thomas; Sani, Rajesh K.; Spycher, Nicolas F.; Şengör, Sema Sevinç; Ginn, Timothy R.; Peyton, Brent M. (2009-07-01) Nearly a century of mining activities upstream have contaminated Lake Coeur d'Alene and its tributaries with Pb, Zn, and other heavy metals. Heavy metal concentrations in sediments of the Coeur d'Alene watershed have been shown to be inversely proportional to the sediment size fraction; thus, analysis on a very small scale is essential to determine the mobility and stability of heavy metals in this environment. Micron-scale synchrotron-based methods were used to determine the association of heavy metals wit...
Hydrogeochemical investigation of groundwater characteristics in Alpu coal field, Eskisehir-Turkey Tural, Ceren Yazıgülü; Çamur, Mehmet Zeki; Department of Geological Engineering (2021-6) Hydrogeochemical characteristics and quality of groundwater resources in Alpu Coal field to the north of Porsuk Creek are investigated. EC, pH, DO and ORP average value ranges are determined as 438-1227 μS/cm, 7.43-8.69, 3.29-6.05 mg/l and 106-180 mv, respectively in spring waters and as 452-30233 μS/cm, 7.46-8.48, 0.6-6.0 mg/l ve 198- -183 mv, respectively in well waters. All spring waters are in HCO3 - Mg, Mix(Ca-Mg), Ca facies. Groundwater facies, stratigraphically downward: change in the order of HCO3, ...
Comparison of Geochemical Properties of Surface Sediments in Mersin and İskenderun Bay NE Mediterranean Akçay, İsmail; Tezcan, Devrim (2016-10-12) In the present study, surface sediment samples were collected at 17 stations selected within the inner sites of Mersin and Iskenderun bays (including city harbors) to examine regional variations of heavy metals (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn), total/organic carbon (TC/TOC) and total nitrogen (TN) concentrations and grain -size distributions in less and highly contaminated sites. Though similar grain -size properties were observed, the surface sediments from the Mersin Harbor and nearby zone fed by wastewater r...
Apportionment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon sources in lower Fox River, USA, sediments by a chemical mass balance model Su, Mc; Chrıstensen, Er; Karls, Jf; Kosuru, S; İmamoğlu, İpek (2000-06-01) Four sediment cores were collected from the lower Fox River, Wisconsin, USA, to identify possible sources of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) using a chemical mass balance model. The cores, which were obtained in 1995 from areas close to Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA, had total PAH concentrations between 19.3 and 0.34 ppm. To determine historical trends of PAH inputs, Pb-210 and Cs-137 dating was used, and elemental carbon particle analysis was done to characterize particles from the combustion of coal, ...
Occurrence of organic matter-rich deposits (Middle Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous) from Qalikuh locality, Zagros Basin, South–West of Iran: A possible oil shale resource Rasouli, Ali; Shekarifard, Ali; Jalali Farahani, Farhang; Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Daryabandeh, Manouchehr; Rashidi, Mehrab (Elsevier BV, 2015-4) Organic-rich deposits of Qalikuh locality, Zagros Basin, Southwest of Iran are unconventional hydrocarbon resources considered as an oil shale, which is hosted within a carbonate succession with the age range of Middle Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous. Leco carbon, Rock-Eval VI and modified Fischer Assay analysis were performed on some outcrop samples of these resources to investigate the occurrence of oil shale. In the studied samples, mean total organic carbon (TOC) is 17.3 wt.% and the average of petroleum g...
