Abstract:To understand the implications of depositional environment on the enrichment of iodine in sediments, the N-alkane analysis has been conducted on the sediment from the North China Plain (NCP). The iodine contents of sediments ranged from 0.03 to 2.54 μg/g with the highest content occurring in the depth of 170-185 m. The results of sediment N-alkane (TAR, ΣT/ΣM and ACL) indicate that the marine source input is the predominant factor controlling the enrichment of iodine in the groundwater system. The Pr/Ph ratios… Show more
