Sediment-water interface pollutant maximum diffusion flux sampling device and method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to.
Background
The estimation of the diffusion flux of the pollutant at the sediment-water interface has important significance for understanding the substance migration and transformation process of the sediment-water interface, is one of important parameters for evaluating the substance exchange rate and the biogeochemical action intensity at the interface, and is also an important basis for early warning of the pollutant release risk. At present, the interfacial diffusion flux is mainly estimated by the following methods: pore water concentration gradient method, laboratory culture method, in-situ box measurement method and mass balance method.
The pore water concentration gradient method estimates the flux by measuring the profile distribution of the concentrations of the sediment pore water and the soluble pollutants in the overlying water and establishing the relation between the diffusion flux and the concentration gradient by combining the Fick first law, but the method for measuring the pore water concentration by layered centrifugation has lower vertical resolution, so the method has larger measurement error.
The laboratory culture method is to culture a sediment column sample with clear sediment-water interface collected from the field and estimate the diffusion flux by observing the concentration change of the pollutants in the overlying water, neglects the influence of the sedimentation of water particles and the resuspension of surface sediment on the diffusion flux in reality and has certain working strength.
The in-situ box measuring method is that an incubator is directly placed on the surface of a sediment to enclose the sediment and overlying water in a certain area, the upper part is sealed, sampling is carried out through a specific sampling port, and the concentration change of substances is analyzed to calculate the diffusion flux of a sediment-water interface, the measuring result of the method is closest to the reality, but because the incubator is sealed, an anoxic or even anaerobic environment can be formed in the incubator after a long time, so that the measuring result is influenced; and the method has higher cost, large experimental strength and no wide applicability.
The mass balance method is used for estimating the diffusion flux of a sediment-water interface by measuring the total input and the total output of pollutants in overlying water and combining the mass balance principle. The method does not relate to a reaction mechanism of a sediment-water interface, and is only suitable for flux estimation of a large-range water area.
Furthermore, the diffusion fluxes mentioned in the above methods are all actual diffusion fluxes, i.e., diffusion fluxes of the target substance at the sediment-water interface over a period of time. The maximum diffusion flux of the target over time, i.e., the maximum diffusion flux of the sediment to the overlying water over time, reflects the potential for release of the target from the sediment to the overlying water, i.e., the risk of release of the target, which cannot be measured by the above-mentioned methods.

Detailed Description
The attached drawings disclose a schematic structural diagram of a preferred embodiment of the invention without limitation; the technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The method of the invention utilizes the fixed membrane capable of absorbing anions and cations to synchronously obtain the maximum diffusion flux of the sediment-water interface within a certain time. The method is realized by the following modes: the flux measuring device composed of the fixed membrane and the shell is placed at a sediment-water interface for a certain time, and an object to be measured, which diffuses from sediment to water, penetrates through a diffusion sublayer on the surface of the sediment in a free diffusion mode and is then synchronously obtained by the fixed membrane. And after the device is taken out, extracting to obtain the content of the object to be detected, and further obtaining the maximum diffusion flux of the object to be detected at the interface within the standing time.
As shown in FIGS. 1-3, the device for detecting the maximum diffusion flux of the pollutants on the sediment-water interface comprises a sampling device and a settling cylinder. The sampling device comprises an annular upper shell, a fixed membrane and a lower shell, wherein the top of the lower shell is provided with a groove for accommodating the fixed membrane, and the fixed membrane is arranged in the groove of the lower shell; the annular upper shell is provided with a plurality of fins at equal intervals at the upper end edge, gaps are reserved between adjacent fins, so that water in the lateral direction can circulate with a sampling device and a water-bottom contact surface, the consistency of the state of the water on the contact surface and the state of the environmental water is ensured, more importantly, the environmental water can be subjected to dissolved oxygen exchange, the anaerobic state formed in the in-situ box is overcome, and the measurement result is closer to the true value.
The annular upper shell is sleeved at the upper end of the lower shell and fixes the fixed membrane, different DGT fixed membranes can be adopted for different detection targets, the sampling device is reversely buckled on the sediment layer, and compared with an environment external sample measurement mode, the annular upper shell does not need a filter layer and a gel diffusion layer and is directly contacted with the sediment layer, so that a more real measurement environment is realized.
The annular upper shell and the annular lower shell are made of PVC materials, and the overall average density of the sampling device is slightly larger than the density of a water body (preferably 1.1 times), so that the sampling device can be ensured to slowly and stably sink to the bottom of the water to be in contact with the sediment layer.
Preferably, the lower shell comprises a top part and a bottom part with a larger diameter, and a conical surface is arranged between the bottom part and the top part for connecting, so that the sampling device is prevented from rolling when descending, and even the sampling device rolls over on a sediment layer.
During detection, a hanging rope penetrates through a hole at the bottom of a sampling device to be hung on a cross rod of a settling cylinder, then the settling cylinder is vertically put into water together with the sampling device on the water surface of a target area, the settling cylinder quickly settles to the water bottom under the action of gravity, at the moment, the sampling device (in a floating state) continues to settle downwards under the self gravity until the sampling device is buckled to the water bottom, so that a fixed membrane is in contact with a sediment layer at the water bottom, after diffusion is kept for 24-48 hours, the sampling device is taken out from the water bottom, then an annular upper shell is detached to take off the fixed membrane, a central area (an area not covered by fins) of the fixed membrane is cut out, and finally the concentration of target pollutants in the central area is measured, so that the maximum diffusion flux of the target pollution of a sediment-water interface in unit time is obtained. While the gaps between the adjacent fins provide dissolved oxygen exchange, target pollutants contained in the environmental water can be diffused and fixed on the fixed membrane from the periphery to the inside without influencing the actual concentration of the target pollutants in the central area, so that the accuracy of in-situ measurement is ensured.
FIGS. 4 and 5 show the comparison of the test data of the method of the present invention with the variation of the overburden water concentration and the pore water concentration gradient method, from which it can be seen that the variation of the measurement result of the present invention is consistent with the variation trend of the overburden water concentration and also consistent with the variation trend of the estimation result of the pore water concentration gradient method.
