Abstract

Atomic-emission spectroscopy was used to determine the concentrations of Be, Ga, Nb, Ta, Y, Zr, Hf, Sc, Mo, U, and Th in subcolloidal, medium-pelite, coarse-pelite, fine-aleurite, and coarse-aleurite fractions of bottom sediments of Razdol’naya R. marginal filter. The concentrations of examined elements are maximal for the subcolloidal sediment fraction. The average concentration (n = 10) of elements in the soil and fluvial sediments (upstream of the mixing zone) were calculated and taken as background concentrations. The highest concentrations of Y, Be, U was shown to correspond to sediments in the zone of fresh and sea water mixing, which is accompanied by flocculation and sorption on Fe and Mn hydroxides and clay minerals (hydromica in fluvial sediments, and smectite in marine sediments).
