- Abstract/Description
-
A complete understanding of nitrate partitioning between water and sediments is absolutely necessary to quantify eutrophication and other harmful effects of nitrate addition to a lake. The bottom sediments can act both as source and sink for nitrates. Turbulent conditions induced by wind forces cause sediments to suspend in the water column. During suspension sediments adsorb/release nitrates and other contaminants into the ambient water. This study investigated the effects of temperature,...
Show moreA complete understanding of nitrate partitioning between water and sediments is absolutely necessary to quantify eutrophication and other harmful effects of nitrate addition to a lake. The bottom sediments can act both as source and sink for nitrates. Turbulent conditions induced by wind forces cause sediments to suspend in the water column. During suspension sediments adsorb/release nitrates and other contaminants into the ambient water. This study investigated the effects of temperature, sediment and nitrate concentration on the exchange and partitioning of nitrates between water and sediments. The Langmuir adsorption model was used to quantify the adsorption/desorption processes. A decrease in the value of partition coefficient with increase in sediment concentration was observed. The laboratory experiments revealed that an increase in temperature of the water column favored the adsorption of nitrates by the bottom sediments. The nitrate diffusion coefficients were estimated by utilizing Fick's second law of diffusion. Sediment concentration profiles were strongly dependant on the oscillating-grid induced turbulence effects.

- Abstract/Description
-
Phosphorus exchange between sediment-water system was observed under molecular diffusion and turbulent condition. Some experiments were focused on adsorption behavior under common environmental factors (e.g., temperature, salinity and pH). The sediment suspension was found to have a significant effect on phosphorus movement to the upper layer water. Higher temperature increased the release of phosphorus from kaolinite and lake sediments, and the effect was almost nil for bentonite....
Show morePhosphorus exchange between sediment-water system was observed under molecular diffusion and turbulent condition. Some experiments were focused on adsorption behavior under common environmental factors (e.g., temperature, salinity and pH). The sediment suspension was found to have a significant effect on phosphorus movement to the upper layer water. Higher temperature increased the release of phosphorus from kaolinite and lake sediments, and the effect was almost nil for bentonite. Temperature effect was pronounced on kaolinite where relatively higher release of phosphorus observed. Salinity effect on lake sediments was not significantly important for release or adsorption. Bentonite showed a release of phosphorus after addition of salts. Adsorption on kaolinite was found higher at pH 4.7-5.0. The study was also focused on the estimation of phosphorus partitioning due to molecular diffusion and turbulent mixing. The observed behavior of the phosphorus exchange under different conditions showed an agreement with the observations by the other investigators.
