Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of soil pollution investigation technology, and in particular to a method and system for tracing the source of heavy metal pollution in soil. Background Technology
[0002] Against the backdrop of continuous industrialization and urbanization, heavy metal pollution has become one of the most common environmental problems in industrial parks and sites. Heavy metals in site soil can originate from various industrial pollution sources such as coal combustion, steel smelting, and fuel oil consumption, and may also be influenced by geological background factors. After emission, various heavy metals migrate and accumulate in the soil through atmospheric deposition, underground pipeline leaks, and leachate from solid waste storage, gradually forming a complex pollution pattern. In this context, fully identifying the sources and formation mechanisms of heavy metal pollution has become a crucial prerequisite for the investigation and remediation of contaminated sites. Because the same site often has multiple emission sources, multiple migration pathways, and overlapping historical activities, relying solely on concentration distribution is insufficient to accurately determine the causes of pollution. Therefore, systematic causal analysis methods are needed to quantitatively or semi-quantitatively analyze the sources of pollutants.
[0003] Currently, a relatively mature methodological system has been established for the study of the causes of heavy metal pollution, including statistical methods such as principal component analysis (PCA), factor analysis (FA), and cluster analysis (CA). These belong to pattern recognition techniques and can only reveal the correlation structure and potential combination characteristics between elements, making it difficult to quantify the contribution of pollution sources. Isotope tracing techniques that use the isotope characteristics of elements such as Pb, Zn, and Cu for quantitative analysis have high accuracy, but they can usually only trace a single element and have limited applicability to complex sites where multiple heavy metals coexist.
[0004] In summary, all methods have certain limitations, and a single technology cannot fully reveal the multi-source characteristics of heavy metal pollution. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new method to conduct intensive site surveys of soil pollution in industrial sites in order to solve the aforementioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0058] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0059] First, it should be noted that in the embodiments of the present invention, the words "exemplarily," "for example," etc., are used to indicate that they are examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design scheme described as "exemplary" in the present invention should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design schemes. Specifically, the use of the term "exemplarily" is intended to present the concept in a specific manner. Furthermore, in the embodiments of the present invention, the meaning expressed by "and / or" can be both, or it can be either one or the other.
[0060] First Embodiment
[0061] This embodiment provides a method for tracing the source of heavy metal pollution in soil. This method can be implemented using electronic equipment, which can be a terminal or a server. The execution flow of this method is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps:
[0062] S1. Multiple soil sampling points were set up in the survey area to collect soil samples, and the content data of various heavy metal elements in each soil sample were obtained.
[0063] Specifically, in this embodiment, the implementation process of S1 is as follows: Based on historical data such as the site's production processes, potential pollution sources, and functional zoning over the years, and with reference to relevant regulations and expert judgment, soil sampling points in the survey area are rationally deployed. Subsequently, laboratory testing of the soil samples is conducted to obtain heavy metal content data, while simultaneously collecting soil samples from typical pollution sources to support subsequent pollution source analysis.
[0064] S2, based on the content data of heavy metal elements, screens out heavy metal elements that exhibit spatial aggregation;
[0065] Specifically, in this embodiment, the implementation process of S2 is as follows:
[0066] Based on the heavy metal content of the soil, spatial autocorrelation analysis was conducted using Moran's I index. Moran's I is an indicator used to measure whether similar attribute values in spatial data are clustered or dispersed spatially. It reflects the degree of autocorrelation of spatial variables in geographic space.
[0067] Positive value (>0): Spatial similarity values cluster (high values are near high values, and low values are near low values), which shows positive autocorrelation.
[0068] Approaching zero (≈0): There is no obvious spatial correlation, and it exhibits a random distribution.
[0069] Negative values (<0): High values are near low values, and low values are near high values, which shows negative autocorrelation, that is, a spatially discrete pattern.
[0070] The formula for calculating Moran's I is as follows:
[0071]
[0072] in:
[0073] Number of soil samples;
[0074] : No. Heavy metal content of each soil sample;
[0075] Average heavy metal content in soil;
[0076] In the spatial weight matrix and Sample weights (e.g., adjacency or inverse distance);
[0077] : Total weights.
[0078] The significance of Moran's I is determined by the Z-score and p-value. If the calculated value is greater than the expected value, E[I] = − If the value is less than the expected value, it can be considered that there is significant spatial clustering; if it is less than the expected value, it can be considered that there is spatial dispersion.
[0079] Based on Moran's I calculations, heavy metals exhibiting spatial aggregation were identified, and the reasons for this spatial aggregation were analyzed in conjunction with functional zone analysis.
[0080] S3, Select one heavy metal element from the heavy metal elements that exhibit spatial aggregation as the element to be analyzed, and screen out the heavy metal elements that have a significant correlation with the element to be analyzed;
[0081] It should be noted that the above steps are for conducting correlation analysis among soil heavy metal elements based on soil heavy metal content data, focusing on identifying combinations of heavy metal elements that are significantly correlated with the isotope tracing research objects, and providing data support for heavy metal co-origin identification and subsequent isotope source tracing research.
[0082] Specifically, in this embodiment, the implementation process of S3 is as follows:
[0083] Based on the content data of various heavy metal elements in soil samples collected from the study area, the correlation relationships among different heavy metal elements were systematically analyzed. First, the normality of the heavy metal element content data was tested. Then, according to the data distribution characteristics, Pearson correlation coefficient (suitable for normally distributed data) or Spearman rank correlation coefficient (suitable for non-normally distributed data) was used to quantitatively characterize the pairwise correlations between heavy metal elements. Significance tests (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01) were used to identify significantly correlated pairs of heavy metal elements and clarify their cooperative variation characteristics.
[0084] During the correlation analysis, the focus was on the correlation between key heavy metal elements (such as Pb, Cd, and Cu) and other heavy metal elements in the proposed stable isotope tracing studies. Heavy metals showing a significant positive correlation with the target isotope tracing elements were screened. A significant positive correlation indicates that the related heavy metals share a high degree of consistency in spatial distribution patterns and enrichment characteristics, and may be controlled by the same or similar pollution sources or geochemical processes.
[0085] Based on this, a further classification analysis was conducted on heavy metal elements with significant positive correlations. Heavy metals that showed synergistic changes and significant correlations with isotope tracers were grouped into the same category, and their potential co-source characteristics were preliminarily identified. This classification result can provide an important basis for the rational selection and interpretation of source apportionment objects in stable isotope tracing studies.
[0086] Based on the comprehensive correlation analysis and heavy metal classification results, the co-source characteristics of heavy metals in the soil of the study area were systematically identified, laying a scientific data foundation and technical support for subsequent research on stable isotope tracing and pollution source apportionment of heavy metals. Then, combining the spatial autocorrelation and co-source heavy metals, one heavy metal was selected for isotope tracing.
[0087] S4, Isotope tracing is performed on the element to be analyzed to determine its source, and the source of the obtained element to be analyzed is used as the source tracing result of heavy metal elements that have a significant correlation with the element to be analyzed.
[0088] Specifically, in this embodiment, the implementation process of S4 is as follows:
[0089] Based on the heavy metal isotope fingerprint database of potential pollution sources constructed within the survey area, the system acquires the isotopic composition characteristics of target heavy metals in different types of pollution sources and soil samples. By comparing the matching relationship between soil samples and the isotopic fingerprints of each potential pollution source, a Bayesian isotope mixture model is introduced to quantitatively analyze the pollution sources of target heavy metals. In the model, the isotopic characteristics of different pollution sources are used as prior information, combined with isotopic observation data of soil samples, and the contribution ratio of each potential pollution source to soil heavy metal pollution is estimated using Bayesian inference methods. The uncertainty of the source analysis results is characterized by a posterior distribution, thereby achieving probabilistic and quantitative identification of heavy metal pollution sources.
[0090] S5. Combining the spatial distribution characteristics of soil heavy metal pollution concentration in the survey area, we comprehensively analyze the spatial layout of different functional zones and their spatial relationship with potential pollution sources to obtain spatial analysis results. We couple the source contribution results obtained by isotope tracing with the spatial analysis results to quantitatively assess the relative contribution of different sources to the pattern of soil heavy metal pollution at different functional zones and regional scales.
[0091] Specifically, in this embodiment, the implementation process of S5 is as follows:
[0092] Based on isotopic tracing of the elements under analysis to obtain source tracing results, and combined with the spatial distribution characteristics of heavy metal pollution concentrations in the soil of the study area, this study comprehensively analyzes the spatial layout of different functional zones (such as water treatment zones, storage zones, and oil spill sites) and their spatial relationships with potential pollution sources. The source contribution results obtained from the Bayesian isotopic mixing model are coupled with the spatial analysis results to quantitatively assess the relative contributions of different sources to the pattern of heavy metal pollution in soil at different functional zones and regional scales. Through the comprehensive analysis of spatial distribution characteristics and Bayesian source tracing results, this study systematically reveals the formation mechanism and spatial heterogeneity of multi-source heavy metal pollution in the study area, providing a scientific basis for formulating zoned and differentiated strategies for the prevention, control, and remediation of heavy metal pollution in soil.
[0093] In summary, this embodiment proposes a method for tracing the source of heavy metal pollution in soil based on a combination of spatial geostatistics, traditional statistics, and isotope techniques, providing an effective solution for identifying the sources of heavy metal pollution in contaminated soil. The main feature of this technique is that it identifies heavy metals with common sources in the surveyed area based on the spatial autocorrelation of heavy metals in the soil. It then uses the correlation between heavy metals to screen for heavy metals correlated with a specific heavy metal, and combines this with isotope tracing techniques to determine its pollution source. Furthermore, it combines the correlation with the functional zones of the surveyed area to infer the pollution sources of other heavy metals. This approach achieves the goal of quantitatively determining the sources of heavy metal pollution in the area while saving costs and avoiding the need for isotope tracing for every single heavy metal.
[0094] Second Embodiment
[0095] This embodiment uses a practical application example to illustrate the implementation process and effects of the present invention. In this embodiment, the investigation area is a steel contaminated site, and the implementation process is as follows:
[0096] 1. Based on the analysis of historical data on industrial site production processes, pollution sources, and functional zoning, a total of 663 soil sampling points were set up, and 4267 soil samples were collected. Laboratory tests were conducted on the soil (arsenic, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, antimony, beryllium, cobalt, vanadium, thallium) to determine the heavy metal content of the soil.
[0097] The distribution of heavy metal sites in the surveyed area is as follows: Figure 2 As shown.
[0098] 2. Spatial autocorrelation analysis of heavy metals in the surveyed soil revealed that the p-values for all heavy metals were less than 0.01, and all heavy metals in the surveyed area showed significant positive spatial autocorrelation, indicating a spatial clustering trend for similar concentrations. Pollutants with higher Moran indices (e.g., mercury I=0.49, beryllium I=0.47, lead I=0.41) exhibited the most pronounced spatial clustering characteristics, possibly influenced by regional production activities. The Moran indices for each heavy metal are shown in Table 1.
[0099] Table 1. Moran Index of Heavy Metals
[0100]
[0101] 3. Correlation analysis among heavy metals
[0102] Based on the spatial autocorrelation analysis results of heavy metals, lead was selected as a representative heavy metal for soil isotopic tracing. Therefore, the correlation analysis between lead and other heavy metals was conducted. The correlation between lead content and other heavy metal contents in the soil is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3The data shows a significant positive correlation between soil lead content and heavy metals such as arsenic, copper, mercury, nickel, antimony, cobalt, and thallium. This symbiotic relationship means that lead isotope tracing technology can not only accurately indicate the source of lead, but also effectively trace the migration and fate of the above-mentioned heavy metal pollutants with the same origin.
[0103] 4. Based on the lead isotope ratios measured from collected soil pollution source samples, an isotope fingerprint database for various pollution sources was constructed. The analysis results show that samples from different sources... 206 Pb / 207 Pb and 208 Pb / 206 The Pb binary graph clearly occupies different regions (e.g.) Figure 4 (As shown in the image). When the lead isotope data of representative soil samples from each functional zone were plotted on this fingerprint map, the vast majority of sample points fell on the connecting line between the three pollution sources: iron and steel smelting, coal combustion, and backfill soil. They were also densely clustered towards the iron and steel smelting source, clearly indicating that iron and steel smelting activities are the dominant source of pollution in this area. This further confirms the spatial aggregation of heavy metals. It is noteworthy that two sampling points, AX13-0.7 and BQ12-0.2, significantly deviated from the main area, their locations closely matching the range of the backfill soil source. Lead isotope data indicate that these two specific anomalous sampling points were significantly influenced by the backfill soil source.
[0104] From 1 / Pb and 206 Pb / 207 Pb ratio, 1 / Pb and 208 Pb / 206 Pb ratio relationship ( Figure 5 Analysis showed that the vast majority of sample points were mainly distributed within a triangular area formed by steel smelting sources, coal combustion sources, and backfill slag sources, which further confirmed that the above three sources are the main sources of heavy metal pollution in the area.
[0105] Based on the accurately identified pollution sources, a Bayesian mixture model was further used to quantify the contribution of each pollution source to soil lead. The results showed that iron and steel smelting was the dominant contributing source, with an average contribution rate of 46.2±10.2%, followed by coal combustion, with an average contribution rate of 26.0±5.3%. The contribution from fuel sources was relatively stable, averaging 11.0±3.9%, while the contribution from natural sources was the lowest, averaging less than 5%, indicating a weak regional background influence. Locally, backfill soil sources accounted for over 60% at some locations, which could explain the locally dispersed high values, possibly related to backfill soil.
[0106] In summary, by combining the spatial autocorrelation of heavy metals and the correlation between lead and other heavy metals, quantitative tracing of common heavy metals in the surveyed area can be achieved through lead isotope analysis.
[0107] Third Embodiment

[0113] The comprehensive analysis module is used to combine the spatial distribution characteristics of soil heavy metal pollution concentration in the survey area, comprehensively analyze the spatial layout of different functional zones and their spatial relationship with potential pollution sources, and obtain spatial analysis results.

[0129] It should also be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. The terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or terminal device that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or terminal device. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or terminal device that includes said element. Furthermore, the term "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, and B alone, where A and B can be singular or plural. Additionally, the character " / " in this text generally indicates an "or" relationship between the preceding and following objects, but it can also indicate an "AND / OR" relationship. Please refer to the context for specific interpretations. "At least one" refers to one or more items, while "more than" refers to two or more items. "At least one of the following" or similar expressions refer to any combination of these items, including any combination of single or multiple items. For example, at least one of a, b, or c can be represented as: a, b, c, ab, ac, bc, or abc, where a, b, and c can be single or multiple.
[0130] Furthermore, it is understood that in various embodiments of the present invention, the order of the above-mentioned process numbers does not imply the order of execution.
