A MASS-SPECTROMETRIC STUDY OF ORGANIC PHOSPHORUS-COMPOUNDS .5. EI SPECTRA OF 1, 3, 2-OXAZAPHOSPHOLIDINE 2-SULFIDES DERIVATES

The mass spectral behaviour of 15 new type of organic phosphorus compounds with a considerable insecticidal activity, 1, 3,2-oxazaphospholidine 2-sulfides derivatives, under 70 eV electron impact has been studied by means of high and low resolution mass spectrometry as well as by B/E linked scan and MIKES/CID analysis. Discussion is focused into the isomerization between oxygen and sulphur in molecules and some rearrangement reactions.

Phosphorus in suspended matter and sediments of a hypertrophic lake. A case study: Lake Dianchi, China

From June 2004 to December 2004, Lake Dianchi, which had large scale of cyanobacterial blooms was investigated in order to study P-fractionation in the suspended matter and the sediment. The investigation improves our understanding of phosphorus in Lake Dianchi and the relationship between phosphorus and cyanobacterial blooms. It contributes to the available literature on the behavior of P in hypertrophic lakes. The distribution of P-fractions in Lake Dianchi was not uniform from northwest to south, but was closely related to the trophic status of the whole lake. The concentrations of total phosphorus, labile P (NH4Cl-P), Organic P (NaOH-NRP) and loss on ignition in suspended matter were positively correlated with the strength of cyanobacterial blooms. Total phosphorus in suspended matter was relatively stable for almost half an year and closely related to Chl. a concentration. The main content of organic phosphorus is in the cyanobacterial blooms. The concentrations of phosphorus bound to metal oxides and carbonates (NaOH-SRP and HCl-P) in sediment were similar to NaOH-SRP and HCl-P in the corresponding suspended matter. The latter two forms of P in suspended matter were not affected by cyanobacterial blooms, indicating that the inorganic phosphorus is derived from the sediment after resuspension from the sediment due to wind and wave action. The contribution of the different P-fractions to TP in sediment and in suspended matter indicates that NH4Cl-P in the suspended matter is an important buffer for maintaining dissolved phosphorus in water.

Variations and possible source of potentially available phosphorus in a Chinese shallow eutrophic lake

Surface, overlying, and interstitial waters were collected at monthly intervals at three experimental stations in a shallow Chinese eutrophic lake (Lake Donghu) to assess the occurrence, distribution, and status of UV-sensitive phosphorus compounds (UVSP) and phosphatase hydrolyzable phosphorus (PHP), coupled with kinetics of alkaline phosphatase activity (APA). Orthophosphate (o-P) concentrations were generally the highest at Station 1, where chlorophyll a (chl a) was a function of o-P at temporal scale. The V-max/K-m of APA obtained by Michaelis-Menten approach paralleled the chlorophyll data at two stations. These facts imply that the development of phytoplankton may be attributed to APA induced by PHP. The potentially available UVSP and PHP peaked in interstitial, overlying, and surface water simultaneously sometimes in 1995 to 1996 and 1997 to 1999. It is postulated that they may arise from the bottom. UVSP peaked in interstitial water at the 12-16 cm layers in sediment cores. Moreover, in interstitial water, UV irradiation resulted in an elevated o-P concentration and decreased APA in a timeseries analysis. Therefore, the mechanism that APA involved in the process of photorelease of o-P was not demonstrated. UVSP is most likely a functional group of labile phosphorus distinct from the enzymatic substrate in this shallow eutrophic lake.

Matrix-bound phosphine: A new form of phosphorus found in sediment of Jiaozhou Bay

Matrix-bound phosphine (PH3), a new form of phosphorus, was found in sediment of Jiaozhou Bay in December 2001. Concentration and distribution of PH3 in different layers of sediment with different stations were analyzed. The results show that PH3 concentrations are various with different layers and different stations. PH3 concentrations in the bottom layer of sediment (20-30 cm) are usually higher than those in the surface layer (0-4 cm). The highest PH3 concentration in our investigation reaches 685 ng/kg (dry), which is much higher than those in terrestrial paddy soil, marsh and landfill that have been reported up to now. The correlation analysis indicates that there is no apparent correlation between the concentrations of PH3 and inorganic phosphorus in sediment. However, the correlation between the concentrations of phosphine and organic phosphorus in the bottom layer of sediment is remarkable (R-2=0.83). It is mainly considered that PH3 in sediment of Jiaozhou Bay is produced from the decomposition of organic phosphorus in the anaerobic condition, and so PH3 concentrations are related to organic phosphorus concentration and anaerobic environment in sediment. The discovery of PH3 in sediment will give people some new ideas on the mechanisms of phosphorus supplement and biogeochemical cycle in Jiaozhou Bay.

长期施肥黑土有机磷组分的31PNMR研究

有机磷是植物和微生物的重要磷源，其各化合物含量组成在一定程度上可反映土壤供磷情况。31P 核磁共振谱仪（31P NMR）通过监测核磁共振频率可以将有机磷不同组分加以区分，是测定土壤有机磷组分的理想工具。本文以吉林省公主岭市不同施肥处理（不施肥处理Control；无机肥处理NPK；有机肥处理M1 、M2；有机无机配施处理M1+NPK、M2+NPK）的长期试验地典型黑土为研究对象，对其有机磷组分应用31P NMR技术进行了研究。结果发现： 1、上机样品的浓度对谱图的影响大，同一批样品需按照同一方法配制，且浓度不是越高越好。冻干前浸提液不中和，试验中未发现磷酸二酯，土壤的NaOH-EDTA浸提液在冷冻干燥前中和，可以减少磷酸二酯的水解；土壤全碳对实验谱图的分辨率有较大的影响。 2、Control处理和NPK处理磷酸单酯含量占浸提液全磷量的比例最高，分别为41%和38%，M2 + NPK处理比例最低为13% 。肌醇六磷酸盐含量占总有机磷量的比例在7% ～ 28%之间，Control处理最高，显著高于NPK处理、M1处理、M1 + NPK处理和M2 + NPK处理。土壤焦磷酸盐含量占浸提液全磷含量比例为0.01% ～ 0.31%，施有机肥处理土壤焦磷酸盐含量显著高于Control处理和NPK处理。 3、土壤浸提液冷冻干燥前中和，测定结果均发现胞壁酸（属磷酸二酯）的峰，中和后的测定磷酸二酯含量占浸提液全磷量的比例在0.53%和3.75%之间；且在Control处理发现-5.28ppm、-26.19ppm和-27.54ppm处发现三个未知峰；Control处理未知化合物占总有机磷的比例为0.35%。

黑土磷的构成、纬向分异和有机磷的矿化特征

以中国东北的中纬度黑土区为样带，研究了有机磷与有机质、全氮，全磷、有机磷、无机磷及有机磷和无机磷的比率（Po/Pi）与纬度分布的关系；同时用埋袋法和培养法研究了不同时间序列下黑土有机磷的矿化进程。研究结果表明，有机磷和有机质、全氮含量具有良好的相关性，达极显著水平（P＜0.01）。全磷、有机磷、无机磷及Po/Pi在纬度上都存在不同程度的分异规律，即随着纬度的升高，其含量或比率均有逐渐升高的趋势，并且达极显著水平。由于有机磷和纬度的相关性（r=0.77）及有机磷和全磷的相关性（r=0.83）均较好，相比之下，无机磷和纬度的相关性则较差（r=0.26），因此推测全磷和Po/Pi比率的纬向分异是由有机磷的纬向分异所引起；但这些分异的最终原因可能是由于黑土南北样带气候热量上的差异和人类活动的影响所致。有机磷的埋袋法和培养法矿化进程实验均表明，随矿化时间的延长，所有处理有机磷的含量、矿化速率都逐渐下降，其累积矿化量和累积矿化率逐渐增加；同时，它们变化（下降或增加）的幅度趋缓。同时，两种方法的研究中均发现，有机磷的初始含量影响有机磷的矿化率和矿化速率：有机磷的初始含量愈高，其矿化率和矿化速率就愈高。

Phosphine in various matrixes

Matrix-bound phosphine was determined in the Jiaozhou Bay coastal sediment, in prawn-pond bottom soil, in the eutrophic lake Wulonglan, in the sewage sludge and in paddy soil as well. Results showed that matrix-bound phosphine levels in freshwater and coastal sediment, as well as in sewage sludge, are significantly higher than that in paddy soil. The correlation between matrix bound phosphine concentrations and organic phosphorus contents in sediment samples is discussed.

Distribution characteristics of matrix-bound phosphine along the coast of China and possible environmental controls

Matrix-bound phosphine (MBP) concentrations in surface sediments collected from 37 stations along the coast of China in 2006 are reported. MBP was found in all samples and the average concentration was 6.30 ng kg(-1) dry weight (dw). The distribution of MBP showed certain spatial variation characteristics with high MBP concentrations at stations near to the coast. The average concentrations of MBP in the northern Yellow Sea (NYS), the southern Yellow Sea (SYS), the northern area of East China Sea (NECS), the southern area of East China Sea (SECS), and South China Sea (SCS) were 5.57 +/- 3.78, 3.78 +/- 2.81, 5.27 +/- 3.07, 5.48 +/- 4.05 and 13.52 +/- 7.86 ng kg(-1) dw. respectively. The correlations between MBP and influencing factors, such as the sedimentary environmental characteristics (sediment type, the grain size, contents of phosphorous, organic matters and redox potential) and the aquatic environmental characteristics (temperature, salinity, depth and hydrodynamics) were studied. The results indicated that MBP was strongly influenced by various factors, such as total phosphorus (TP), organic phosphorus (OP), organic carbon (OC), the grain size and hydrodynamics, all of which not only offered reasonable interpretations for the distribution characteristics of MBP but also provided evidence to support the viewpoint that phosphine originated from OP decomposition. This work is the first comprehensive study of the distribution of MBP along the coast of China and its relationships with environmental factors which will lead to a better understanding of the phosphorus (P) biogeochemical cycle in the sea.

Seasonal and spatial distribution of matrix-bound phosphine and its relationship with the environment in the Changjiang River Estuary, China

Sediment is commonly considered as a source of phosphine, which is a highly toxic and reactive atmospheric trace gas. This study aims to investigate the seasonal and spatial distribution of matrix-bound phosphine (MBP) and its relationship with the environment in the Changjiang River Estuary. A total of 43 surface sediments were collected in four seasons of 2006, and concentrations of MBP and relative environmental factors were analyzed. MBP ranged from 1.93 to 94.86 ng kg(-1) dry weight (dw) with an average concentration of 17.14 ng kg(-1) dw. The concentrations of MBP in the tipper estuary were, higher than those in the lower estuary, which could be attributed to greater pollutant inputs in the upper estuary. The concentrations of MBP also varied with season, with November > August > May > February. Significant correlations existed between MBP and total phosphorus (TP), organic phosphorus (OP), inorganic phosphorus (W), organic carbon (OC), total nitrogen (TN), the grain size, and redox potential (Eh), suggesting that these sedimentary environmental characteristics played an important role in controlling the MBP levels in the sediments. Notably, there were positive linear relationships between the concentrations of soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP), TP, and chlorophyll a (Chl a) in bottom water and MBP in sediments. These relationships might be very complicated and need further exploration. This work is the first comprehensive study of the seasonal and spatial distribution of MBP in sediments and its relationships with environmental factors in a typical estuary, and will lead to deeper understanding of the phosphorus (P) biogeochemical cycle.

Inorganic carbon of sediments in the Yangtze River Estuary and Jiaozhou Bay

JGOFS results showed that the ocean is a major sink for the increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide resulting from human activity. However, the role of the coastal seas in the global carbon cycling is poorly understood. In the present work, the inorganic carbon (IC) in the Yangtze River Estuary and Jiaozhou Bay are studied as examples of offshore sediments. Sequential extraction was used to divide inorganic carbon in the sediments into five forms, NaCl form, NH3 H2O form, NaOH form, NH2OH HCl form and HCl form. Studied of their content and influencing factors were also showed that NaCl form < NH3 H2O form < NaOH form < NH2OH HCl form < HCl form, and that their influencing factors of pH, Eh, Es, water content, organic carbon, organic nitrogen, inorganic nitrogen, organic phosphorus and inorganic phosphorus on inorganic carbon can be divided into two groups, and that every factor has different influence on different form or on the same form in different environment. Different IC form may transform into each other in the early diagenetic process of sediment, but NaCl form, NH3 H2O form, NaOH form and NH2OH HCl form may convert to HCl form ultimately. So every IC form has different contribution to carbon cycling. This study showed that the contribution of various form of IC to the carbon cycle is in the order of NaOH form > NH2OH HCl form > NH3 H2O form > NaCl form > HCl form, and that the contribution of HCl form contributes little to carbon cycling, HCl form may be one of end-result of atmospheric CO2. So Yangtze River estuary sediment may absorb at least about 40.96x10(11) g atmospheric CO2 every year, which indicated that offshore sediment play an important role in absorbing atmospheric CO2.

湖泊沉积物中有机磷的地球化学特征及其富营养化效应——以太湖、红枫湖、百花湖和洱海为例

磷是水生生态系统初级生产力的主要限制因子，也是造成湖泊富营养化的关键营养元素。湖泊富营养化现已成为世界性的环境问题，它不但制约了湖泊资源的可利用性,而且直接影响着人类的健康生存与社会经济的可持续发展。沉积物内源磷的释放是决定湖泊水体营养水平、影响湖泊富营养化治理成效的重要因素。因此，研究沉积物中磷的组成形态、含量分布及迁移转化等对于全面了解湖泊生态系统中磷的生物地球化学循环，有效控制和管理湖泊富营养化具有重要的意义。然而目前对沉积物中的无机磷(Pi)及其生物可利用性进行了大量的研究，有机磷(Po)作为沉积物中的重要化学成分，它的地球化学特征及其对湖泊富营养化的作用却了解甚少。 长江中下游地区和云贵高原地区是我国淡水湖泊的主要分布区，也是我国湖泊富营养化最为严重的地区。本论文工作选取两地区具不同流域特征、水文状况、生态结构、污染程度的代表性湖泊(太湖梅梁湾、鼋头渚、贡湖、东太湖, 红枫湖, 百花湖和洱海)为研究对象，结合传统的化学连续提取手段和最新的液体磷核磁共振(31P NMR)波谱分析，研究了这些湖泊沉积物中Po的形态、组成以及剖面分布特征，揭示了Po对湖泊富营养化的重要作用；并运用高效体积排阻色谱法、分子荧光光谱法探讨了它们与沉积物中有机质的关系。主要研究结果如下： 1. 采用改进的土壤Po分级体系研究湖泊沉积物中Po的赋存形态，沉积物中Po的回收率可达94.3－101.1%，平均为98.5±2.2%，说明了该方法基本上包括了沉积物中全部Po。这是因为本方法对活性Po和腐殖质磷萃取的时间更长，提取更为完全；对富里酸磷和胡敏酸磷的区分更加明确；还特别增加了残渣态有机磷(Residual Po)的测定，使得Po的形态分析更为周密和准确。沉积物中Residual Po的含量占总Po的29.9－57.2%，进一步表明了此方法的可取性，这将为以后开展湖泊沉积物中Po的形态研究奠定了基础。 2. 湖泊沉积物中磷形态的不同分布特征可能与两地区不同的湖泊类型、有机质降解过程的差异以及各种磷形态之间的相互转化有关。Po形态在不同污染程度沉积物中的含量与分布也充分说明了沉积物是水体富营养化的主要内源，Po对湖泊富养化的作用不容忽视。 3.太湖梅梁湾、鼋头渚和贡湖沉积物不同提取液中有机质的分子量分布特征可能表明了其中有机质和Po组成的差异，而沉积物中有机C/N和C/P比值分析和三维荧光光谱特征的相似形可能反映了太湖(浅水湖泊)沉积物中有机质与磷的地球化学特性及其相互关系。 4. 31P NMR的测定结果显示，湖泊沉积物中磷主要由正磷酸盐(Ortho-P)、磷酸单酯(Monoester-P)与二酯(Diester-P)组成，焦磷酸盐(Pyro-P)和膦酸盐(Phosphonate)的含量非常低。Ortho-P在重富营养化和浅水湖泊沉积物中的相对含量高于富营养化、中富营养化和深水湖泊沉积物，Monoester-P的分布特征正好相反，表明了这些磷化合物在不同湖泊生态系统磷的循环中的差异。此外，Monoester-P中肌糖磷酸的大量存在，也同时证实了前面Po化学连续提取中高含量的Residual Po。 5. 梅梁湾和洱海沉积物中总磷(TP)、Pi、Ortho-P、Monoester-P、总有机碳(TOC)和总氮(TN)表现出不同的剖面分布特征，说明了有机质和磷在不同湖泊环境中的分解转化规律，可能解释了内源磷的释放对两湖富营养化的影响。此外，Diester-P中DNA-P的剖面变化和前人报道的沉积物中DNA的分布特征正好吻合，表明了DNA-P主要来源于沉积物中细菌和微生物的DNA。

The effect of organic matter accumulation on phosphorus release in sediment of Chinese shallow lakes

The effects of organic matter in sediment on phosphorus release were studied by field investigations in eight Chinese shallow freshwater lakes with different trophic status and a laboratory experiment. The sediment organic matter content paralleled the trophic status, ranging from 6.1 to 173.0 g kg(-1) (dry weight), with the mean value of 63.1 g kg(-1) (dry weight). It was positively proportional to Soluble reactive phosphorus concentration in the interstitial water in a form of exponential function, but inversely related to the sediment Fe/P ratio. The sediment alkaline phosphatase activity was significantly related not only to the organic matter content (r = 0.829, P < 0.01, n = 120), but also to the soluble reactive phosphorus concentration in interstitial water (r = 0.454, P < 0.01, n = 42). In the laboratory experiment, the addition of organic matter (dry materials of an aquatic macrophyte) into the sediment significantly enhanced alkaline phosphatase activity and soluble reactive phosphorus release. However, in the treatment with organic matter added and aeration, this release was generally prevented in spite of an increase in APA. Hence, sediment organic matter can effectively accelerate phosphorus release by enzymatic hydrolysis and anaerobic desorption. The latter mechanism seems to be more important.

Differentiate performance of eight filter media in vertical flow constructed wetland: Removal of organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorus

A comparative study was conducted to reveal the differentiate effects of eight different filter media including gravel, zeolites, anthracite, shale, vermiculite, ceramic filter media, blast furnace steel slag and round ceramsite. The study mainly related to the eight different filter media's removal performances of organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorus in the vertical flow constructed wetland simulated system, which treating wastewater at hydraulic loading rate of 1000-2500 mm/d. The results indicated that the removal effects were closely related to the physical and chemical properties of medium materials. Anthracite-filled system had the highest removal rate for the total organic carbon (TOC), up to 70%, and the removal rates of other systems ranged from 20% to 30%. As for the five-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), anthracite-filled and steel slag-filled systems had the highest removal rates, also up to 70%, as well as other systems all exceeded 50%. At the same time, for the total nitrogen (TN) and NH4(+)-N, the zeolites-filled and ceramic-filled systems had the best performances with the removal rates of more than 70%, the other way round, the removal rates of other systems were only about 20%. The distinguishable effects were also observed in removal performances of total phosphorus (TP) and total dissoluble phosphorus (TDP). The removal rates of TP and TDP in steel slag-filled systems were more than 90%, a much higher value, followed by that of the anthracite-filled system, more than 60%, but those of other systems being the less. Our study provided a potential mechanism to optimize the filter media design for the vertical flow constructed wetlands.
