Abstract

Abstract

In this paper, two kinds of biogenic sediments, calcareous ooze and siliceous ooze, which are the most common types of biogenic sediment in the Indian Ocean, were analyzed to explore the concentration distribution of the major and trace elements, rare earth elements and Y (REY) in the bulk samples and different particle size components. The composition characteristics, material sources and enrichment mechanism of REY in these two kind sediments were discussed. The results show that the siliceous ooze is riched in CaO and Sr, and the siliceous ooze is enriched with SiO₂, Al₂O₃ and Fe₂O₃. The average content of ∑REY in calcareous ooze is 40.56×10^-6, which is enriched in the fine sediment, and the light rare earth element (LREE) is slightly enriched in this kind sediment. When that normalized by PAAS, REY all showed negative anomalies of Ce, positive anomalies of Eu and Y in both the bulk sediment and different particle size components. REY in the calcareous ooze reserve the composition of seawater, which is dominated by autogenous origin and also influenced by hydrothermal fluid and oceanic basalt weathering materials. Meanwhile, the content of ∑REY in the siliceous ooze is 248.54×10^-6, which is also enriched in fine sediments (>4φ). LREE is relatively enriched too. The ∑REY content in the sediments of the study site is near the boundary grade, but the HREY content in the fine sediments reaches the industrial grade. REY in the fine-grained components of this kind sediment mainly comes from the adsorption of clay minerals and iron-manganese oxides which come from the terrestrial or pyroclastic materials, while the REY source in the coarse-grained fraction is related to the biological effects. The enrichment of REY in siliceous ooze is associated with apatite in sediments, but REY from some different sources may be redistributed into the minerals such as apatite and phillipsite during diagenetic process.
