The sample is decomposed in microwave oven by HNO3. A double focusing ICP-MS mass spectrometer (ELEMENT) working at resolution of 3000 allows the complete resolution of polyatomic ions overlapping. Instrumental parameters of the mass spectrometer are optimized for optimum precision. The RSD values obtained for the isotope ratios of 54Fe/56Fe, 57Fe/56Fe and 58Fe/56Fe are 0.23, 0.14, 0.22%, respectively, for a natural standard solution of 5ug/ml. The method has been used to iron nutrition studies.展开更多

So the main matter origins of chimneys are seawater and matter which are taken by hydrothermal fluid from deep reservoir. However, because of seawater’s little contribution to the forming of chimneys, it is usually covered by the abundant matter which is taken by hydrothermal fluid. Therefore, chimneys formed in ordinary deep seawater hydrothermal activity, containing complex elements, cannot be used to study the seawater’s contribution to their formation. While the native sulfur chimneys, formed by hydrothermal activity near the sea area off Kueishantao, are single sulfur composition (over 99%), and within chimneys distinct layers are seen. Different layers were sampled for trace element determination, with Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). By analyzing the data, we consider C-layer (secondary inner-layer) as the framework layer of the chimney which formed early (Fig.4), and its trace elements derive from hydrothermal fluid. While the trace elements within A, B, D layers have undergone later alteration. A, B layers are affected by seawater and D layer by hydrothermal fluid. The increase of trace elements of A and B layers was calculated using C layer as background. Based on the known typical volume of chimneys of the near sea area off Kueishantao, we calculated the volume of seawater that contributed trace element to chimneys formation to be about 6.37×104 L. This simple quantified estimate may help us better understand the seafloor hydrothermal activity and chimneys.展开更多
