Method improvement to separate and quantify SiO2 phases in marine sediments: Testing wet-chemical sequential leaching on sediments with modified bSi contents

Antonia C. Schell¹ ², Rebecca A. Pickering¹, Tzu-Hao Huang¹, Wei-Li Hong¹ ²

¹Department of Geological Sciences and ²Baltic Sea Centre at Stockholm University, Sweden

The silicon (Si) phases found in marine sediments, such as biogenic silica (bSi), lithogenic silicate (LSi), and amorphous secondary Si phases (ASSi) provide insights into past and present silicon deposition and cycling. DeMaster (1981) was the first one to use Na2CO3 leaching to extract diatoms from surficial marine sediments. This protocol has since then been widely used and modified. As recent studies have shown, it is especially difficult separating bSi and LSi phases from deeply-buried and diagenetically-modified sediments, where longer digestion times are needed to extract bSi via Na2CO3 leaching. Hence, there is a need for a robust protocol that allows both for isolation and quantification of the individual phases.

To test how much bSi can be extracted with the wet-chemical sequential leaching method (modified after Huang et al. 2023) we perform systematic experiments where PACS-3, a marine sediment certified reference material, is mixed with known amounts of bSi (0, 10, 20 wt%). Here, we present the results of the elemental analysis of the extracted leachates, and we use the Si/Al molar ratio in the leachate as an indication for the leached Si phases.
