| Abstract: | Atomic emission spectrographic analysis of the trace inorganic constituents of marine humic substances gave the following range of concentrations: Si, 200 ppm to > 2%; Al, 400 ppm to ~ 1%; Fe, 600–3000 ppm; Ca, 600 ppm to > 2%; Mg, 20–6000 ppm; Na, 600 ppm to > 2%; Ag, < 6–600 ppm; B, < 60–1000 ppm; Cu, 600–4000 ppm; Mn, 8–100 ppm; Mo, <20–3000 ppm; Ni, 100–1000 ppm; Pb, < 40–600 ppm; Sn, 40–600 ppm; Ti, < 20–2500 ppm; V, 20–200 ppm; Zn, 350–4500 ppm; Zr, < 60–500 ppm.Humic substances contain a sizeable portion of the Cu, Mo and Zn found in sediments, but are less important for Ni, Co and Pb, and are insignificant for the Mn, V and Fe content. The metals are mostly introduced into the humates during their diagenetic formation in sediment by dissolution of metals from various mineralogical phases. A precursor of the sedimentary humates, the polymeric organic material dissolved in interstitial water, contains most of the Cu and Zn, about half of the Ni, Fe and Co, and very little of the Mn found in interstitial water. Comparison of the data on humates with that obtained by H2O2 treatment of sediments indicates that Cu, Zn and possibly most of the Mo are associated with organic matter, but that Ni and Co are associated with sulfides. |
