Abstract:
Sediment samples from approximately 40 stations in the Western, middle and eastern Baltic Sea were investigated for manganese and iron content. In a series of interstitial water samples and numerous deep and surface water samples, the manganese content was likewise determined. A strong enrichment of these elements in the basin sediments was shown. In many instances, several percent manganese were present. As a maximum value, 13% was found in a 1 mm thick layer. Furthermore, a distinct decrease in manganese content with increasing sediment depth was shown in the upper 10 to 20 cm of the Sediment at almost all stations. Both phenomena may be explained by the release of manganese from the Sediment through diffusion. In the flat parts of the Baltic and those parts having good bottom water circulation, this diffusion progresses especially vigorously as a result of a steep gradient of the Mn++ concentration in the interstitial water-deep water interface. The manganese which hereby passes into the water overlying the bottom (manganese contents between 10 and 100 y Mn/l were determined in numerous deep water samples) is partly reprecipitated on the Sediment surface, and partly carried by currents into the deeper basins where it is finallv deposited. It is bound there as a manganese-rich mixed carbonate, the composition of which can be proved chemically and by x-ray methods. Iron is likewise of higher content in the basinal sediments, however, the extent of its enrichment is far less since it is less soluble than manganese under the reducing conditions in the sediments. The fine bands of manganese- and iron-rich layers in the basin sediments may likewise be explained as a result of diffusion.
