Moosmonitoring 1995/96, Untersuchungen der Schwermetallgehalte in Moosen, Cer in Moosen, Einzelelementkarten

In der Bundesrepublik Deutschland wurden von 1990 bis 2005 in fünfjährigem Abstand sowie in den Jahren 2015/16 und 2020/21 Untersuchungen zur Bestimmung der Inhaltsstoffe von Moosen durchgeführt. Schwerpunkt war die Analyse von Schwermetallen, ab 2005/06 auch von Sticksoff. Seit 2015/16 wurde das Stoffspektrum auf persistente organische Stoffe (POP) und Mikroplastik ausgeweitet. Dieses „Moosmonitoring“ ist der deutsche Beitrag zum europäischen Moosmonitoringprogramm, welches durch das „Internationale Kooperativprogramm zur Wirkung von Luftverunreinigungen auf die natürliche Vegetation und auf landwirtschaftliche Kulturpflanzen“ („International Cooperative Programme on Effects of Air Pollution on Natural Vegetation and Crops“, kurz: ICP Vegetation) der Genfer Luftreinhaltekonvention (Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution, CLRTAP) koordiniert wird. Mit der Durchführung der einzelnen Probenahmekampagnen sowie der Auswertung der Untersuchungsergebnisse wurden durch das Umweltbundesamt (UBA) wechselnde Institutionen beauftragt, so die Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe (BGR) mit dem Moosmonitoring 1995/96. Die Ergebnisse der nachfolgenden Monitoringjahre hat das Umweltbundesamt veröffentlicht. Sie sind abrufbar unter https://www.umweltbundesamt.de/daten/luft/bioindikation-von-luftverunreinigungen. Das Moos-Monitoring 1995/96 ist mit 1026 Standorten neben dem Moos-Monitoring 2000 das mit der größten Probenahmedichte und mit 40 analysierten Elementen das mit dem größten Untersuchungsspektrum. Obwohl die in den Jahren 1998 und 1999 fertiggestellten Forschungsberichte (Siewers & Herpin, 1998; Siewers, Herpin & Straßburg, 1999) eine Auswertung (Kurzbeschreibung, statistische Maßzahlen, Verteilungskarten) aller 40 analysierten Elemente enthalten, wurden bislang nur die Daten von 12 der analysierten Elemente veröffentlicht. Darüber hinaus wurden im Jahr 2007 die im Ergebnis der Analytik vorliegenden Rohdaten aus den Laboratorien einer Neubewertung unterzogen. Daraus resultiert eine Reihe von Fehlerkorrekturen, das auswertbare Elementspektrum konnte auf 42 Elemente erweitert werden. Auch die Ergebnisse dieser Neubewertung sind bislang unveröffentlicht. Die ergänzende Bearbeitung der Daten mit modernen Verfahren bringt eine zusätzliche Aufwertung dieser. Die Downloads zeigen die Verteilung der Cergehalte in Moosen in vier verschiedenen farbigen Punkt- und Isoflächenkarten. Die Legenden der Karten sind wahlweise in der Maßeinheit µg/g oder in einer an den Gehaltsbereich des dargestellten Elements angepassten Maßeinheit abrufbar.

Dataset to Geothermal Resources and ATES Potential of Mesozoic Reservoirs in the North German Basin

This dataset provides point-shapefiles and geotiffs, related to the figures presented in (Frick et al., 2022a, 2022b). It covers most of northern Germany, with the boundaries defined by the extent of the North German Basin, which is part of the Central European Basin System. The files contain information on the depth (m.b.s. = meter below surface), thickness, temperature, heat in place and heat storage potential of selected geological units and the formations therein. These data are an addendum to the data presented in (Frick et al., 2022a, 2022b), resolving 5 geological units and 9 formations. The data are presented as regularly spaced point-shapefiles, with a spacing of 1000 m. The data were produced as part of the Helmholtz Climate Initiative (HICAM), which focuses on Net Zero 2050 (mitigation) and Adapting to Extreme Events (adaptation). As part of this initiative, estimates of the heat in place and heat storage potential of the subsurface play an important part for mitigation of fossil fuel bound emissions as they pose a promising alternative (geothermal energy). The data presented here, therefore give an overview of areas which might be suited for geothermal applications in the different geothermal target units and formations. We integrated the recently published TUNB Model (BGR et al., 2021) as well as available borehole data, data from the Sandsteinfazies and GeoPoNDD projects (Franz et al., 2018, 2015) and temperature data from two models (Agemar et al., 2014; Frick et al., 2021) the process of which will be described in the following.

Spatiotemporal variability in infiltration through biopores: earthworms, macropores and infiltration patterns

This dataset consists of spatially and temporally resolved data of dye-infiltration patterns, earthworms and macropores as well as supporting data, such as land use, soil moisture content, soil temperature, bulk density, and soil texture, in the Wollefsbach area of the Attert Catchment in Luxembourg (Pfister et al., 2005). The data was gathered in six measurement campaigns in the period from May 2015 to March 2016. During each measurement campaign we measured at five random sites on each of six chosen fields: three grasslands and three agricultural fields. At each measurement site a combination of measurements was performed: infiltration patterns of blue stained water, earthworm abundance (species level), macropore counts on horizontal soil profiles (in three depths, discriminating three size classes and stained or non-stained), soil temperature and moisture contents in three depths. Finally, undisturbed soil core samples were taken during one campaign for the determination of the texture and bulk density at different sampling sites. In the data table we also include GIS derived values of elevation, slope, aspect, heat load index, and topographical wetness index. Details on all the measurement methods, GIS-analysis methods and units of the data are given below. This data was gathered as part of the Joint Research Project “Catchments as Organised Systems” (CAOS, Zehe et al., 2014) funded by the German Research Foundation. --------------------------------------------------- Version history: 10 February 2020, release of Version 1.1.: The authors discovered that some rows in the data table “Earthworms_Macropores_Data.csv” for September Field 3 and Field 4 were accidentally exchanged. Compared to version 1.0, the data in rows 71 to 75 (Sept_3_1 to Sept_3_5) were exchanged with the data in rows 76 to 80 (Sept_4_1 to Sept_4_5). The authors apologise for this and ask everyone who downloaded the data of version 1.0 are advised to only use version 1.1, because there was an error which could lead to wrong results. Nevertheless, version 1.0 of the data table is available in the "previous-versions" subfolder via the Data Download link. The infiltration data included in “2019-022_vanSchaik-et-al_Infiltration_patterns.zip” remain unchanged.

technologyComment of cobalt production (GLO): Cobalt, as a co-product of nickel and copper production, is obtained using a wide range of technologies. The initial life cycle stage covers the mining of the ore through underground or open cast methods. The ore is further processed in beneficiation to produce a concentrate and/or raffinate solution. Metal selection and further concentration is initiated in primary extraction, which may involve calcining, smelting, high pressure leaching, and other processes. The final product is obtained through further refining, which may involve processes such as re-leaching, selective solvent / solution extraction, selective precipitation, electrowinning, and other treatments. Transport is reported separately and consists of only the internal movements of materials / intermediates, and not the movement of final product. Due to its intrinsic value, cobalt has a high recycling rate. However, much of this recycling takes place downstream through the recycling of alloy scrap into new alloy, or goes into the cobalt chemical sector as an intermediate requiring additional refinement. Secondary production, ie production from the recycling of cobalt-containing wastes, is considered in this study in so far as it occurs as part of the participating companies’ production. This was shown to be of very limited significance (less than 1% of cobalt inputs). The secondary materials used for producing cobalt are modelled as entering the system free of environmental burden. technologyComment of natural gas production (CA-AB): Canadian data completed with german data. The uncertainty has been adjusted accordingly. Data used in original data contains no information on technology. technologyComment of natural gas production (DE): Data in environmental report contains no information on technology. technologyComment of natural gas production (RoW): The data describes an average onshore technology for natural gas to 13% out of combined oil gas production. Natural gas is assumed to 20% sour. Leakage in exploitation is estimated at 0.38% and production 0.12%. It is further assumed that about 30% of the produced water is discharged in surface water. Water emissions are differentiated between combined oil and gas production and gas production. technologyComment of natural gas production (RU): The data describes an average onshore technology for natural gas with a share of 4% out of combined oil gas production and 96% from mere natural gas production. Natural gas is assumed to 20% sour. It is assumed that about 30% of the produced water is discharged in surface water. Water emissions are differentiated between combined oil and gas production and gas production. technologyComment of natural gas production (US): US data (NREL) for emissions completed with german data. Emissions from NREL include combined production (petroleumm and gas) and off-shore production. The uncertainty has been adjusted accordingly.

Refined zinc produced pyro-metallurgically represents less than 5% of global zinc production and less than 2% of this dataset. Electrometallurgical Smelting The main unit processes for electrometallurgical zinc smelting are roasting, leaching, purification, electrolysis, and melting. In both electrometallurgical and pyro-metallurgical zinc production routes, the first step is to remove the sulfur from the concentrate. Roasting or sintering achieves this. The concentrate is heated in a furnace with operating temperature above 900 °C (exothermic, autogenous process) to convert the zinc sulfide to calcine (zinc oxide). Simultaneously, sulfur reacts with oxygen to produce sulfur dioxide, which is subsequently converted to sulfuric acid in acid plants, usually located with zinc-smelting facilities. During the leaching process, the calcine is dissolved in dilute sulfuric acid solution (re-circulated back from the electrolysis cells) to produce aqueous zinc sulfate solution. The iron impurities dissolve as well and are precipitated out as jarosite or goethite in the presence of calcine and possibly ammonia. Jarosite and goethite are usually disposed of in tailing ponds. Adding zinc dust to the zinc sulfate solution facilitates purification. The purification of leachate leads to precipitation of cadmium, copper, and cobalt as metals. In electrolysis, the purified solution is electrolyzed between lead alloy anodes and aluminum cathodes. The high-purity zinc deposited on aluminum cathodes is stripped off, dried, melted, and cast into SHG zinc ingots (99.99 % zinc). Pyro-metallurgical Smelting The pyro-metallurgical smelting process is based on the reduction of zinc and lead oxides into metal with carbon in an imperial smelting furnace. The sinter, along with pre-heated coke, is charged from the top of the furnace and injected from below with pre-heated air. This ensures that temperature in the center of the furnace remains in the range of 1000-1500 °C. The coke is converted to carbon monoxide, and zinc and lead oxides are reduced to metallic zinc and lead. The liquid lead bullion is collected at the bottom of the furnace along with other metal impurities (copper, silver, and gold). Zinc in vapor form is collected from the top of the furnace along with other gases. Zinc vapor is then condensed into liquid zinc. The lead and cadmium impurities in zinc bullion are removed through a distillation process. The imperial smelting process is an energy-intensive process and produces zinc of lower purity than the electrometallurgical process. technologyComment of rare earth oxides production, from rare earth oxide concentrate, 70% REO (CN-SC): This dataset refers to the separation (hydrochloric acid leaching) and refining (metallothermic reduction) process used in order to produce high-purity rare earth oxides (REO) from REO concentrate, 70% beneficiated. ''The concentrate is calcined at temperatures up to 600ºC to oxidize carbonaceous material. Then HCl leaching, alkaline treatment, and second HCl leaching is performed to produce a relatively pure rare earth chloride (95% REO). Hydrochloric acid leaching in Sichuan is capable of separating and recovering the majority of cerium oxide (CeO) in a short process. For this dataset, the entire quantity of Ce (50% cerium dioxide [CeO2]/REO) is assumed to be produced here as CeO2 with a grade of 98% REO. Foreground carbon dioxide CO2 emissions were calculated from chemical reactions of calcining beneficiated ores. Then metallothermic reduction produces the purest rare earth metals (99.99%) and is most common for heavy rare earths. The metals volatilize, are collected, and then condensed at temperatures of 300 to 400°C (Chinese Ministryof Environmental Protection 2009).'' Source: Lee, J. C. K., & Wen, Z. (2017).

They make use of their proprietary technology to convert syngas into synthetic fuel components, pipeline gas and chemical feedstock for the downstream production of solvents, polymers, comonomers and other chemicals. Primary internal customers are Sasol Chemicals Operations, Sasol Exploration and Production International and other chemical companies. Carbon is produced for the recarburiser, aluminium, electrode and cathodic production markets. Secunda Synfuels Operations receives coal from five mines in Mpumalanga (see figure attached). After being crushed, the coal is blended to obtain an even quality distribution. Electricity is generated by both steam and gas and used to gasify the coal at a temperature of 1300°C. This produces syngas from which two types of reactor - circulating fluidised bed and Sasol Advanced SynthoTM reactors – produce components for making synthetic fuels as well as a number of downstream chemicals. Gas water and tar oil streams emanating from the gasification process are refined to produce ammonia and various grades of coke respectively. imageUrlTagReplacea79dc0c2-0dda-47ec-94e0-6f076bc8cdb6 SECUNDA CHEMICAL OPERATIONS: The Secunda Chemicals Operations hub forms part of the Southern African Operations and is the consolidation of all the chemical operating facilities in Secunda, along with Site Services activities.

technologyComment of iron ore beneficiation (IN): Milling and mechanical sorting. Average iron yield is 65% . The process so developed basically involves crushing, classification, processing of lumps, fines and slimes separately to produce concentrate suitable as lump and sinter fines and for pellet making. The quality is essentially defined as Fe contents, Level of SiO2 and Al2O3 contamination. The process aims at maximizing Fe recovery by subjecting the rejects/tailings generated from coarser size processing to fine size reduction and subsequent processing to recover iron values. technologyComment of iron ore beneficiation (RoW): Milling and mechanical sorting. Average iron yield is 84%. technologyComment of iron ore mine operation and beneficiation (CA-QC): Milling and mechanical sorting. Average iron yield is 75%. Specific data were collected on one of the two production site in Quebec. According to the documentation available, the technologies of the 2 mines seems similar. Uncertainity has been adjusted accordingly. technologyComment of niobium mine operation and beneficiation, from pyrochlore ore (BR, RoW): Open-pit mining is applied and hydraulic excavators are used to extract the ore with different grades, which is transported to stockpiles awaiting homogenization through earth-moving equipment in order to attain the same concentration. Conveyor belts (3.5 km) are utilized to transport the homogenized ore to the concentration unit. Initially, the ore passes through a jaw crusher and moves to the ball mills, where the pyrochlore grains (1 mm average diameter) are reduced to diameters less than 0.104 mm. In the ball mills, recycled water is added in order to i) granulate the concentrate and ii) remove the gas from the sintering unit. The granulated ore undergoes i) magnetic separation, where magnetite is removed and is sold as a coproduct and ii) desliming in order to remove fractions smaller than 5μm by utilizing cyclones. Then the ore enters the flotation process - last stage of the beneficiation process – where the pyrochlore particles come into contact with flotation chemicals (hydrochloric & fluorosilic acid, triethylamene and lime), thereby removing the solid fractions and producing pyrochlore concentrate and barite as a coproduct which is also sold. The produced concentrate contains 55% Nb2O5 and 11% water and moves to the sintering unit, via tubes or is transported in bags while the separated and unused minerals enter the tailings dam. In the sintering unit, the pyrochlore concentrate undergoes pelletizing, sintering, crushing and classification. These units not only accumulate the material but are also responsible for removing sulfur and water from the concentrate. Then the concentrate enters the dephosphorization unit, where phosphorus and lead are removed from the concentrate. The removal of sulphur and phosphorus have to be executed because of the local pyrochlore ore composition. Then the concentrate undergoes a carbothermic reduction by using charcoal and petroleum coke, producing a refined concentrate, 63% Nb2O5 and tailings with high lead content that are disposed in the tailings dam again. technologyComment of rare earth element mine operation and beneficiation, bastnaesite and monazite ore (CN-NM): Firstly, open pit, mining (drilling and blasting) is performed in order to obtain the iron ore and a minor quantity of rare earth ores (5−6 % rare earth oxide equivalent). Then, a two-step beneficiation process is applied to produce the REO concentrate. In the first step, ball milling and magnetic separation is used for the isolation of the iron ore. In the second step, the resulting REO tailing (containing monazite and bastnasite), is processed to get a 50% REO equivalent concentrate via flotation. technologyComment of rare earth oxides production, from rare earth oxide concentrate, 70% REO (CN-SC): This dataset refers to the separation (hydrochloric acid leaching) and refining (metallothermic reduction) process used in order to produce high-purity rare earth oxides (REO) from REO concentrate, 70% beneficiated.

For that reason, the production of titanium stems from high-grade titanium slag, the production of which includes 2 processes: i) ore mining & dressing process and ii) titanium slag smelting process. During the ore mining and dressing process, ilmenite concentrate (47.82% TiO2) is produced through high-intensity magnetic separation of the middling ore, which is previously produced as a byproduct during the magnetic separation sub-process of the vanadium titano-magnetite ore. During the titanium slag smelting process, the produced ilmenite concentrate from the ore mining & dressing process is mixed with petroleum coke as the reducing agent and pitch as the bonding agent. Afterwards it enters the electric arc furnace, where it is smelted, separating iron from the ilmenite concentrate and obtaining high-grade titanium slag.

Journal of Industrial Ecology, 21(5), 1277-1290. doi:10.1111/jiec.12491 technologyComment of sodium chloride production, powder (RER, RoW): For the production of dry salt, three different types of sodium chloride production methods can be distinguished namely, underground mining of halite deposits, solution mining with mechanical evaporation and solar evaporation. Their respective products are rock salt, evaporated salt and solar salt: - Underground mining: The main characteristic of this technique is the fact that salt is not dissolved during the whole process. Instead underground halite deposits are mined with traditional techniques like undercutting, drilling and blasting or with huge mining machines with cutting heads. In a second step, the salt is crushed and screened to the desired size and then hoisted to the surface. - Solution mining and mechanical evaporation: In this case, water is injected in a salt deposit, usually in about 150 to 500 m depth. The dissolution of the halite or salt deposits forms a cavern filled with brine. This brine is then pumped from the cavern back to the surface and transported to either an evaporation plant for the production of evaporated salt or transported directly to a chemical processing plant, e.g. a chlor-alkali plant. - Solar evaporation: In this case salt is produced with the aid of the sun and wind out of seawater or natural brine in lakes. Within a chain of ponds, water is evaporated by sun until salt crystallizes on the floor of the ponds. Due to their natural process drivers, such plants must be located in areas with only small amounts of rain and high evaporation rates - e.g. in the Mediterranean area where the rate between evaporation and rainfall is 3:1, or in Australia, where even a ratio up to 15:1 can be found. There are some impurities due to the fact that seawater contains not only sodium chloride. That leads to impurities of calcium and magnesium sulfate as well as magnesium chloride. With the aid of clean brine from dissolved fine salt, these impurities are washed out. As a fourth form on the market, the so-called 'salt in brine' may be found, which is especially used for the production of different chemicals. In this case, the solution mining technique without an evaporation step afterwards is used. This dataset represents the production of dry sodium chloride by underground mining (51%) and by solution mining (49%) with modern solution mining technology (thermo compressing technology).

Stable isotope (2H and 18O) depth profiles of pore waters and inferred soil physical parameters in the Attert catchment, Luxembourg

Depth profiles of stable water isotopes in the soil provide important information on flow and transport processes in the subsurface. We sampled depth profiles of stable water isotopes (2H and 18O) in the pore waters on two occasions at 46 sites in the Attert catchment, Luxembourg and are partly located in mixed deciduous forest and partly on grassland. These sites correspond to the sensor cluster sites of the DFG research unit CAOS. Sampling took place once between February 2012 and October 2013 and once in June 2014. Sampling procedure: We took 1-3 soil cores of 8 cm diameter in close proximity with a percussion drill (Atlas Copco Cobra, Stockholm, Sweden) at each study site within a radius of 5 m from the soil moisture sensor profiles. We drilled as deep as possible and divided the extracted soil cores into subsamples of 5 to 10 cm length and sealed the material in air tight bags (Weber Packaging, Güglingen, Germany). The soil sample depths were corrected for compaction during the drilling pro-cess and are provided as the mean depth of 5 or 10 cm soil core subsamples. For isotope analyses of the pore water, we used the direct equilibration method (Wassenaar et al., 2008). Analyses were carried out at the Chair of Hydrology, University of Freiburg. We provide detailed information about the laboratory analyses in Sprenger et al. (2015) and Sprenger et al. (2016) and the data description associated with the data.
