借助顺序提取技术对西太平洋富钴结壳的铁、锰氧化物进行了分级提取,并利用电感耦合等离子体光谱仪测定了其微量元素的组成。结果表明:锰矿物相(δ-Mn02)主要富集Mn、Ba、Co、Ni、Sr;铁矿物相(FeOOH)富集Fe、As、Cu、Mo、P、Pb,V、Zn。计算了Co、Cu、Ni和Zn元素在铁、锰两相之间的分配系数D=(M/Fe)铁相/(M/Mn)锰相,探讨了其作为古环境替代指标的可行性。发现C0、Cu、Ni和Zn的分配系数与其在富钻结壳中的总质量分数无关,而与海洋生产力存在明显的正相关,其作用机理有待于进一步的研究。
Sequential leaching technology combined with inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroseopy(ICP-AES) was used to analyse cobalt-rich crust from Western Pacific seamounts. The results show that Mn, Ba, Co, Ni, Sr mainly enriched in manganese oxide phase(δ-MnO2), meanwhile Fe, As, Cu, Mo, P, Pb, V and Zn relatively enriched in iron oxide phase (FeOOH). Here, the partition coeffi- cient is defined as D = (M/Fe)Fe-phase/(M/Mn)Mn-phase to investigate the distribution characteristics of the trace elements. It is shown that there is a distinct D between hydrogenetic and hydrothermal precipitations. It is also noted that D has no correlation with the metal concentration but a positive correlation with marine primary productivity. Hence, partition coefficient between two major phases may be a potential proxy of paleoenvironment.
