Characteristics of Heavy Metal Elements and Their Relationship with Magnetic Properties of River Sediment from Urban Area in Lanzhou
2011
The contents of As,Co,Cr,Cu,Ni,Pb,V and Zn in the surface sediments from 8 rivers in urban area in Lanzhou were monitored by ecological risk which was assessed by the potential ecological Hkanson index,and the index of geoaccumulation(Igeo),sediment enrichment factor(R),and environmental magnetism.The results showed that: ①the potential ecological risk of heavy metals of As,Co,Ni,V in surface sediments from 8 rivers were low,which belonged to low ecological risk.But the risk of heave metals Cr,Pb,Zn in surface sediments from Yuer river was high,which belonged to middle ecological risk,and in downstream of Yuer river,the element of Cu belonged to high ecological risk.②The rivers in Lanzhou could be divided into four groups according to the heavy mental pollution degree: first type,such as Paihong river,Shier river,Yuer river and Shuimo river,called downstream concentrate type;second type,such as Qili river,called upstream concentrate type;third type,such as Luoguo river and Dasha river,called less affected type;fourth type,Lanni river,which polluted heavily in up and downstream;③ The correlation analysis between magnetic parameters and element contents show that the parameters which mainly reflect the concentration of the magnetic minerals(χ,SIRM,Ms)have close association with Cr,Ni,Pb,Zn,Cu,So we can infer that the magnetic minerals in deposits samples mainly came from electroplating effluent,motor vehicle emission,and domestic sewage.SIRM/χ shows a strong correlation with Cr,Ni,Pb,Zn,indicating the distribution of anthropogenic particulates.④The magnetic minerals(χ,SIRM,Ms) have a strong correlation with the geoaccumulation(Igeo) than potential ecological risk index and enrichment factor(R).These results suggest a possible approach for source identification of magnetic material in pollution studies and the validity of using magnetic measurements to mapping the polluted area.
