XRF岩心扫描估算海洋沉积物有机碳含量的适用性

Abstract

Abstract:

The Bromine (Br) intensity collected by the non-destructive X-ray fluorescence (XRF) core scanner has been used to estimate the content of organic carbon in marine sediment in high speeds. However, the accuracy of this estimation and the effectiveness of various calibration methods need to be carefully evaluated. In this study, two gravity cores from the Arabian Sea and South China Sea, where the organic contents and their source components are different in sediment, are selected to investigate the correlation between the total organic carbon (TOC) content and the Br intensity by the core scanner. This study also analyzes the influence of water content and evaluates the effectiveness of different calibration methods used to estimate the TOC content according to the Br intensity. A good correlation is found between the Br intensity and the TOC in marine sediment with high organic carbon contents, no matter whether the Br intensity is calibrated or not. However, the estimation of sedimentary TOC content should be cautiously used when terrigenous organic matter is high.

Key words: core scanning techniques, Br counts, total organic carbon content, estimation
