珠江口海域与南黄海海域表层沉积物地球化学特征

对珠江口和南黄海近海海域10个站位的表层沉积物中67种元素进行分析,试图揭示两海域近海表层沉积物中主要元素的地球化学特征,包括分布特征及其控制因素,并通过两海域元素地球化学特征,初步探讨近海沉积环境特征。通过总结两海域表层沉积物中元素含量及分布特征,可以发现,近海海域总体上以陆源沉积为主,除Ca和Sr之外,大多数元素表现出明显的亲陆性。珠江口海域和南黄海海域沉积物元素含量的对比研究显示,前者相对富集As、Cd、Hg、Sb、Sr、Ca、Rb、C,后者相对富集Al2O3、Zr、Hf、Sc、Rb、Ga、Cs、V、Co、Cr、Cu、Mn、Ni、K2O、Na2O、B、Ba、I等。与上地壳相比,Ag、As、Bi、Hg、Li、N、Pb、Sb、Se、Cl、Br、I在两海域表层沉积物中均发生明显富集;Mo、Sn均呈现分散趋势;Sr、CaO在南黄海海域明显贫化,K2O、Na2O、Ba则在珠江口海域表现出贫化;其他元素与上地壳元素丰度相近。

GEOCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SURFACE SEDIMENTS FROM THE SEA AREAS OF PEARL RIVER ESTUARY AND SOUTH YELLOW SEA

Based on ten sediment samples collected in the sea areas of Pearl River Estuary and South Yellow Sea, the authors analyzed 67 elements to study geochemical characteristics. The patterns of element abundances and their distributions have been investigated in this paper. The results show that sediments in the coastal sea area mainly originate from terrestrial source and, except for Ca and Sr, the distributions of major elements possess the characteristics of terrestrial materials. A comparison between Pearl River estuary and South Yellow Sea shows that the former is rich in As, Cd, Hg, Sb, Sr, Ca, Rb and C, whereas the latter is rich in Al2 O3 , Zr, Hf, Sc, Rb, Ga, Cs, V, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, K2 O, Na2 O, B, Ba and I. A comparison with the element abundances of China＇s shelf sea shows that the enrichment and dispersion regularities of elements in the surface sediments of the two study areas are different.
