Abstract

The radiogenic isotope composition of neodymium (Nd) and strontium (Sr) extracted from Fe-Mn oxyhydroxide and detrital in marine sediments indicated potential for investigate present and past oceanic circulation or input of terrigenous material. However, the isotope compositions of elements obtained from the Fe-Mn oxyhydroxide fraction and detrital are easily disturbed by each other originating from the extraction process, will affect the isotope composition of these fractions. Therefore, it is very important to establish a rigorous leaching procedure that can be used to separate both Fe-Mn oxyhydroxide and the detrital fraction from the same marine sediment sample for Nd and Sr isotopic analysis. In this study, the mixture reagent of hydroxylamine hydrochloride (HH) and acetic acid (HAc) at 12 different concentrations were used to extract Fe-Mn oxyhydroxide fraction and detrital from zeolite clay of the Central Indian Ocean Basin, bathyal sediment of Arctic and offshore marine sediment of the Andaman Sea. Detrital was dissolved by HF-HNO₃ system with high-pressure closed digestion method. Elements concentration and Sr and Nd isotope ratios in these fractions were measured. To corroborate the reliability of the extracting methods, REE patterns, Al/Ca ratios, as well as Sr and Nd isotope compositions were applied to assess the absence of detrital contributions to the extracted solutions and to support the seawater origin of the Nd isotope ratios in the Fe-Mn oxyhydroxide fraction. The result showed that different genetic types of sediments have different extraction reagents. The ideal reagent concentration for extraction of Fe-Mn oxyhydroxide fraction from zeolite clay is 0.25 mol/L HH in 15% acetic acid, for bathyal sediment of Greenland Sea and offshore marine sediment is 0.5 mol/L HH in 15% acetic acid. This method can accurately obtain the Sr and Nd isotopic composition of Fe-Mn oxyhydroxide and residue state in marine sediments, providing method support for the study of paleoceanography.
