The Yellow Sea continental shelf receives large quantities of sediment from the Huanghe (Yellow) River. Unfortunately, little attention has been yet paid to the sedimentation on the shallow shelf and its features, and the vertical sediment flux in the area is poorly understood. In this study, nine cores were collected in northern Yellow Sea by the R/V Science 1 in September, 1998 and 1999 to examine the sedimentation rate, sediment flux and the provenance with ^210Pb analysis. The 2^210Pb activity profiles showed that the vertical sediment flux ranged from 0.06 to 1.18 g/cm^2·a in the region. In central part of the area, there was a patch of fine-grained mud, with the flux below 0.33 g/cm^2·a. Most profiles were featured in two-segment model. Differences in the profiles reflected spatial and temporal variations in hydrodynamic and sedimentary processes. In order to determine the provenance and sedimentary setting in the area, the geochemistry of Ca, Fe, Sr, Cu, Ti and Rb in 11 surficial sediment samples were studied, which showed that in the central northern Yellow Sea, the mud deposit was from multi-source but mainly from the Huanghe River.展开更多

The measured bond length of ^4HeH^+ is 0.094±0.003nm. The bond length of ^4HeH^+ obtained with our radio frequency (RF) ion source is larger than that obtained with a duoplasmatron ion source at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), but the bond lengths of H^+2 and H^+3obtained separately by ANL and by us with the two different ion sources are consistent with each other, which implies that there exists an ion source effect on the bond length of ^4HeH^+. The main reason why the 4^4HeH^+ bond lengths obtained by the two different ion sources are different is also discussed.展开更多

It is found that iron is mainly distributed in high spin Fe^3+and Fe^2+ state in clay minerals. The plot of Fe^2+/(Fe^2++ Fe^3+) indicates the presence of poor redox conditions in the samples.Results obtained are also compared with those already reported in the literature. This comparison shows that there may exist a correlation between prospecting of the basin, the redox environment in sediments and the nature of iron bearing minerals distributed in the sedimentary sequence.展开更多
