Abstract: | The tracer-diffusion coefficient of ions in water, Dj0, and in sea water, , differ by no more than zero to 8 per cent. When sea water diffuses into a dilute solution of water, in order to maintain the electro-neutrality, the average diffusion coefficients of major cations become greater but of major anions smaller than their respective or Dj0 values. The tracer diffusion coefficients of ions in deep-sea sediments, Dj,sed., can be related to by , where θ is the tortuosity of the bulk sediment and a a constant close to one. |
