Abstract:
Preliminary data are presented on dissolved heavy metals in interstitial water samples collected at Site 718 of Ocean Drilling Program Leg 118.
The heavy metals at this site are divided into three groups: Group I (B, K, Mn, Ni, Pb, total Si, total P, V) behaves like Mg, which decrease with depth; Group II (Ba, Cu, Sr, Ti) behaves like Ca, which increases with depth; and Group 111 (Cd, Co, Cr, Fe, Na, Mo, Zn) contains metals that are independent of depth.
Mg decreases with depth from 50 mM at the seafloor to 21 mM at 900 mbsf. Mn in the sulfate reduction zone (1.0 to 2.8 ppm) is more highly concentrated than in the methane fermentation zone (0.23 to 0.50 ppm), except for Section 116-718-1H-1. A similar behavior is also observed for V and Pb. Ni, B, and K decrease non-uniformly with depth. Ca and Sr increase with depth at the same rates, indicating the dissolution of inorganic calcium carbonate by anaerobic oxidation of organic matter (Sayles, 1981, doi:10.1016/0016-7037(81)90132-0). The distribution of Ba with depth is very similar to those of Ca and Sr. Cu and Ti profiles trend to increase non-uniformly with depth.
Fe is constant with depth. The sharp decrease in total silicate concentration at the seafloor probably indicates a decrease in the decomposition of siliceous biological matter (e.g., diatoms) and production of opal. The constant levels of Group 111, except for Na and Fe, may reveal equal sources of supply from surface seawater and the Himalayas over time.
