| 摘要 | Salt particles play important roles in many atmospheric processes due to their high hygroscopicity. Saline lakes and playas are sources of salt particles, which are normally mixed with mineral dust that can be transported over long distances. In this study, salt samples collected from four saline lakes and surrounding playas in the Qaidam Basin are studied for their physicochemical properties, focusing on the chemical compositions and hygroscopicity. The salt samples include brines, lakebed salts, crust salts, and crystallized brines. Thermodynamic models are used to explain the precipitating and hygroscopic behaviors based on ionic compositions of dissolved saline solutions. Regarding the ionic compositions, the crystallized brines are similar to the complex mineral compositions of brines, while the natural solid salts, including lakebed salts and crust salts, show very distinct composition differences. The main difference between brines and natural solid salts is the presence of Mg2+ and SO42-, which are primarily found in brines but not in the solid phases. Moreover, all the crust salts are dominated by NaCl regardless of the chemical compositions of the nearby saline lakes. Positive matrix factorization is applied to the ionic concentrations, and the results show that solid salts and brines are governed by different factors. The pH of brines correlates with Mg2+ concentrations and is potentially influenced by ambient CO2 uptake. The hygroscopicity experimental results and thermodynamic model outcomes show that the water uptake of different salt types is controlled by different salt components, that is, crystallized brines are controlled by MgCl2 and natural salts are governed by NaCl and KCl. The characterizations of saline lake and playa salts improve the understandings of the roles that surface salts potentially play in the climate systems of both Planet Earth and Mars. |
