摘要: 建立了由预过滤装置、蠕动泵、中空纤维超滤膜(AmiconH10P10-20,标称截留分子量10KDa)和连接管组成的错流超滤系统,利用荧光标记的40KDa葡聚糖和已知放射性活度的234Th示踪剂评估了超滤膜的截留和吸附性质,探讨了234Th在超滤过程中的渗透行为,考查了该系统用于实际海水样品时铀、钍、镭同位素和有机碳的质量平衡状况.结果表明,10Kda中空纤维超滤膜对40Kda葡聚糖具有良好的截留效率(85%),而吸附损失率为18%.铀、钍、镭同位素和有机碳在超滤过程中均达到极佳的质量平衡,回收率R=95%~98%,优于大多数文献报道的值.234Th在超滤过程中的渗透行为可以很好地用渗透模型加以描述.研究组分胶体态含量占“溶解”态含量的份额大小顺序如下:钍同位素、有机碳、镭同位素约等于铀同位素,这与钍为强颗粒活性元素、铀和镭为水溶性元素的地球化学性质相吻合.Abstract: A ctnss-flow ultrafiltration system,including a prefilter (0.22 μm),a Masterflex pump and a polysulfone hollow fiber 10 KDa ultrafiltration membrane (Amicon H10P10-20),is evaluated for its feasibility in sampling colloidal uranium,thorium,radium isotopes and organic carbon (0C) in seawater.The retention characteristics and sorptive potential of the 10 KDa ultrafilter are examined through laboratory experiments using a 40 KDa fluoresceintagged dextran and standard 234Th as tracers.The mass balance of 234U,238U,234Th,224Ra,226Ra and OC during ultrafiltration is also evaluated.The results show that the 10 KDa ultrafiltration membrane can indeed tetain the 40 KDa dextran with a retention coficient of 0.85.However,sorptive loss of the 40 KDa dextran to the system is 18%.Mass balance of uranium,thorium,radium isotopes and OC are excellent,with recoveries ranging from 95% to 98%,indicating that losses or contamination problems during ultrafiltration are minimal.The concentration of 234Th in the permeate,when plotted as a function of concentration factor,is found to fit an ultrafiltration permeation model.Percentage of colloids in the dissolved phase decreases as follows:thorium isotopes,organic carbon,radium isotopes about equaling uranium isotopes,which is consistent with their geochemical properties,i.e.,thorium is a particle-reactive nuclide while uranium and radium are more soluble in seawater.
