Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
The techniques of diffusional equilibrium in thin films (DET) and diffusional gradients in thin films (DGT) were used to obtain high resolution pore water profiles of total dissolved and labile trace (mobilizable) metals in the sediments of the Rupel River, Belgium. DGT measures labile metal species in situ by immobilizing them on a resin gel after diffusion through a diffusive gel whereas for DET an equilibrium is established between the DET gel and the pore water. Concentrations of Pb and Zn obtained by DGT were in good agreement with the results obtained by centrifugation, and thus were well buffered by rapid equilibrium with the solid phase, whereas Fe, Mn and Cd were very tightly bound to the sediment phase and large differences were observed between the labile and the total metal concentrations. Cu, Zn, Co and Ni show intermediated behavior.Good correlations were found between the profiles of As and Fe and Mn and Co for DET as well as DGT showing a close link between the geochemical behavior of these elements. Cu, Zn, Pb and Cd are also influenced by the reductive mobilization of Fe and Mn oxides but are also closely linked to the bacterial degradation of organic matter in the surface sediments as to the precipitation of metal sulfides in the deeper layers. |
