摘要

Abstract

The Ninety East Ridge in the Indian Ocean has complex and unique characteristics. The concentrations and distribution characteristics of 10 trace metals (V

and U) in seawater from the Ninety East Ridge in the Indian Ocean were investigated. Results show that the average concentrations of different trace metals in all the collected seawater samples were 1.134 μg/L for V

0.158 μg/L for Cr

0.489 μg/L for Mn

0.427 μg/L for Fe

0.011 μg/L for Co

0.395 μg/L for Ni

0.403 μg/L for Cu

0.097 μg/L for Cd

0.139 μg/L for Pb

and 3.470 μg/L for U. Differences in the horizontal and vertical distributions of all measured trace metals were revealed

and the occurrence of high concentrations was nonuniform. In addition

the significant differences in the concentration distribution of different trace metals in seawater on both sides of the Ninety East Ridge present regional segmentation in the area for various trace metals in deep sea water. This study provided basic data for future investigations on the environmental and ecological impact of trace metals in the Indian Ocean and the potential water mass transport mechanism.
