英文摘要: Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal pollutant. Various industrial activities, especially metal smelting, are the main sources of Cd pollution. Cd isotopes have exhibited the ability to be excellent source tracers and can be used to assess the pollution contributions from different sources. Herein, in a typical lead-zinc smelter, Shaoguan, China, significant Cd isotopic fractionation was found during the high temperature smelting process and followed a Rayleigh distillation model. The heavier Cd isotopes were concentrated in the slag, while the lighter Cd isotopes were concentrated in the dust. In the downstream sediment profile of the smelter, sediments have extremely high Cd concentrations that far exceed the Chinese background sediment, indicating severe pollution levels. The epsilon Cd-114/110 of the sediment core, ranged from 0.62 +/- 0.5-1.73 +/- 0.5, are found between slag epsilon Cd-114/110 = 10.42) and dust (epsilon Cd-114/110 = - 5.68). The binary mixture model suggests that 88-93% of the Cd in sediment profile was derived from the slag, and 7-12% from the deposition of dust. The findings demonstrate the great potential to apply Cd isotopes as a new geochemical tool to distinguish anthropogenic sources and quantify the contribution from various sources in the environment.
