Abstract

Vanadium (V) is a strategic element in high demand in the industrial and pharmaceutical sectors. However, anthropogenic activities, including mineral exploration and industrial emissions, increase the risk of V contamination in soils. Consequently, research on V in the fields of mineral exploration and environmental pollution has garnered increasing attention. The China Geochemical Baseline (CGB) Project has conducted the first comprehensive collection and analysis of 12,201 rock samples, 3,382 top soil samples, and 3,380 deep soil samples in mainland China and the data was analysed in this study. High V concentrations occurred in soils in southern and northern China, and that V concentration were scattered in northern China. The concentration of V in soils was influenced by several natural factors, including tectonic activity, the distribution of intermediate–basic rocks (especially basalts) and black rock series; the distribution of laterites, and the occurrence of V deposits. Additionally, certain regions with high V concentrations were impacted by anthropogenic factors, primarily mining and smelting. This study, utilizing fundamental comparative data offered by the CGB Project, presents a comprehensive investigation of the spatial distribution characteristics of V, its migration, and enrichment mechanisms on a regional scale and also provides essential geochemical information on the detailed distribution of V in the pedosphere and rocks of mainland China.

中国土壤圈中钒的分布及其自然和人为影响因素

钒(V)是工业和制药部门需求旺盛的战略元素。然而，人为活动，包括矿物勘探和工业排放，增加了土壤中V污染的风险。因此，V在矿产勘查和环境污染领域的研究越来越受到重视。中国地球化学基线（CGB）项目在中国大陆首次进行了12201个岩石样品、3382个表层土壤样品和3380个深层土壤样品的综合采集和分析，并对数据进行了分析。中国南方和北方土壤V浓度较高，北方土壤V浓度分散。土壤中V的浓度受构造活动、中基性岩（特别是玄武岩）分布和黑色岩系等自然因素的影响；红土的分布和V矿床的赋存状态。此外，某些高V浓度区域受到人为因素的影响，主要是采矿和冶炼。本研究利用CGB项目提供的基础对比数据，全面探讨了V在区域尺度上的空间分布特征、迁移和富集机制，并为V在中国大陆土壤圈和岩石中的详细分布提供了重要的地球化学信息。

期刊介绍： Catena publishes papers describing original field and laboratory investigations and reviews on geoecology and landscape evolution with emphasis on interdisciplinary aspects of soil science, hydrology and geomorphology. It aims to disseminate new knowledge and foster better understanding of the physical environment, of evolutionary sequences that have resulted in past and current landscapes, and of the natural processes that are likely to determine the fate of our terrestrial environment. Papers within any one of the above topics are welcome provided they are of sufficiently wide interest and relevance.
