对三峡水库消落带干湿交替条件下土壤汞赋存形态变化、影响因素和生物可利用性进行了模拟研究.结果表明:干湿交替条件下土壤汞会发生形态转化和释放,总汞含量逐渐降低,两次“淹水一落干”后总汞含量降低了28.9%.土壤中不同汞形态所占比例分别为:水溶态汞(Hg—W)6.1%~16.8%;交换态汞(Hg—e)5.8%~12.9%;碳酸盐结合态汞(Hg.c)4.5%~17.7%;腐植酸结合态汞(Hg—h)12.5%~29.9%;有机质结合态汞(Hg—O)5.3%~12.8%,残渣态汞(Hg-r)34.5%~51.6%.土壤中汞形态以残渣态(Hg.r)为主,干湿交替条件下其所占比例有降低的趋势,腐植酸结合态汞(Hg-h)则逐渐增加,生物可利用态汞(Hg—W、Hg—e、Hg—C和Hg-h之和)总体呈增加趋势,易被水生生物利用并进入食物链,可能会增加水库生态系统的汞生态风险.
The speciation transformation, influencing factors, as well as bioavailability of mercury (Hg) in soil of the water-level-fluctuating zone in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area were simulated. The results showed that Hg in soil under alternative dry-wet condition could be transformed and re- leased. The total Hg content in the soil was decreased by 28.9% after two "wet-dry" cycles. The percentages of the six Hg species (water-soluble, exchangeable, carbonate-bound, humics-bound, organic-sulf and residual Hg) were 6.1% -16.8% , 5.8% -12.9% , 4.5% -17.7% , 12.5% - 29.9%, 5.3%-12.8%, and 34.5%-51.6%, respectively. It was found that Hg in soils was dominantly residue Hg, whose percentage tended to decrease under alternative dry-wet condition. The percentage of humics-bound Hg increased gradually and an increase of the percentage of bio- available Hg ( including water-soluble, exchangeable, carbonate-bound, and humics-bound Hg) after two wet-dry cycles were observed. Bioavailable Hg could be easily absorbed by aquatic orga- nisms to enter the food chain, which might increase the ecological risk of Hg in the reservoir.
