Abstract

The early diagenesis processes of several redox-sensitive trace metals (RSMs) (Mo, U and V) were studied with several short sediment cores (~25 cm) collected in the northern Okinawa Trough (OT). Pore water vertical profiles indicated that the sedimentary environments in all cores were between oxic and suboxic, not yet reaching anoxic sulfidic conditions. The recycling process of Mo in sediments was clearly associated with Mn and yielded little authigenic accumulation, while U showed a downcore increase in sediment and its authigenic mass accumulation rate (MAR) was estimated to be ≈23% of the Changjiang (Yangtze) and Huanghe (Yellow) riverine flux. Benthic diffusive fluxes and MAR were calculated and the comparison of them showed that U and V fluxes matched relatively well both in direction and in magnitude, implying that diffusion processes at the sediment-water interface is the dominant process controlling the remobilization or burial of V and U in northern OT. This work provided a systematic study (both in pore water and solid phase) on the RSMs geochemical behaviors during early diagenesis process, yielding a quantitative assessment of the remobilization or burial fluxes of the RSMs in northern OT. Such studies are in general lacking in the coastal margin of Northwest Pacific Ocean.
