The Biogeochemical Cycle Of Barium Caroline Schmidt

Table Of Content  Introduction.  Behaviour Of Barium In The Deep Sea.  Barite: A Glimpse At Different Genesis.  What To Do With These Results !?  Further Literature.

Ba ,3  Natural Occurrence As Barite (BaSO 4 ) BaSO 4  Ba 2+ + SO 4 2-  Barite Has A Very High Density:  4.5  Use Of Barium/Barite As A Tracer For Biological Production In the Sea

How Does Barium Precipitate As Barite In The Ocean? Ba - Precipitation Because Of Decomposition Of Organic Matter  Occurs In The Euphotic Zone (< 200m)  Ba - Precipitation Because Of Acantharia (SrSO 4 ) Dissolution  Occurs Between m

How Is Barium Related To Organic Carbon Considering The Depth?  The Less The Corg - Flux, The Higher The Ba - Flux  Barium Decreases With Depth  Ratio Corg:Ba Is Strongly Dependent On Depth

What Are The Influences?  Lateral Advection?  Sinking Rapidity?  Differences In Saturation?  Seasonal Changes?  Different Geographic Locations?

Seasonal Changes !  Differences In Ba/Corg Ratios Between The Years. (Ross Sea)

Different Geographical Location !  Differences Only In The Deeper Part - Difference In Dissolved Barium In The Water Column

Different Barites   Hydrothermal B. Ba Enriched Hydrothermal Fluids React With Sea- water - Sulfate “Bio-Barite” Formation Within A Micro- environment Of Decaying Bio. Depris Diagenetic B. ??? In The Water Column

Diagenetic Barite !  Settled “Bio-Barite” Will Be Removed By Sulfate Reduction  Sulfate-Bearing Fluids From The Deeper Sediment Column Lead To Reprecipitation Of DIAGENETIC BARITE 2 H + + SO (CH 2 O)  2 CO 2 +H 2 S + 2 H 2 O  Process Takes Place In The Sediment Column !!!

How To Distinguish Barite And Barite?  Hydrothermal Barite: 34 S Value Is Almost The Same Compared To Seawater  Diagenetic Barite: 34 S Value Is Much Higher Compared To Seawater

Conclusions  Consideration Of Different (Regional) Influences  Different Locations Cannot Be Compared  Strong Correlation Between Corg/Ba-Ratio And Depth; It Is Possible To Analyze The Biological Production With The Help Of The Barite Formation (Not Every Region)  Barium Can Be Used As A Quantitative Proxy To Determine Biological Production

What To Do With That?  If We Can Measure Relative Constant Values Over A longer Periode, We Can Derive Datas For Paleoproductivity.  Paleoproductivity And Constant Datas Will Give Hints For Paleoclimate And Also For “New Production”.  We Could Include These Datas For Deriving Models Of Former And Future Climate.

Literature  Dymond et al.; Barium in Deep Sea Sediment: A Geochemical Proxy For Paleoproductivity; 1992  Dymond et al.; Particulate Barium Fluxes and Their Relationships To Biological Productivity;1996  Dymond et al.; Particulate Barium Fluxes In The Ross Sea; 2002  Torres et al.; Barite Fronts In Margin Sediments: A New Look at Barium Remobilization In The Zone Of Sulfate Reduction And Formation Of Heavy Barites In Diagentic Fronts; 1995  Schwitzer, Lehrbuch der Chemie, 1999  Brockhaus In 15 Bänden, 2000
