Thorium concentration and the activity ratios230Th/232Th and228Th/232Th in sea water in the western North Pacific

The concentration of thorium isotopes and the activity ratios of²³⁰Th/²³²Th and²²⁸Th/²³²Th in sea water collected in the Kuroshio region, the mixing area of Oyashio and Kuroshio, the Japan Sea and the East China Sea in the western North Pacific were determined. Thorium isotopes were analyzed by α-ray spectrometry after separating them with an anion exchange resin. The average content of thorium (²³²Th) of 2.2×10⁻⁹ g/l was obtained in the open Pacific waters. The ratio of²³⁰Th/²³²Th is in accord with that of the top layer of the sediment in the same area. The high values of²²⁸Th/²³²Th ratio up to 36 were observed in sea water. The excess²²⁸Th in sea water may be due to the migration of²²⁸Ra through the water-sediment interface. Thorium content in suspended matter was 10 to 20% of the total thorium content in the Pacific water.     

Content of plutonium,thorium and protactinium in sea water and recent coral in the North Pacific

The contents of plutonium isotopes (²³⁹Pu and²³⁸Pu), thorium isotopes (²³²Th,²³⁰Th and²²⁸Th) and protactinium-231 in sea water collected in the North Pacific, the East China Sea and the Japan Sea were determined. These nuclides were sequentially analyzed byα-ray spectrometry after separating them mainly with solvent extraction technique. The contents of²³⁹Pu in surface sea water ranged from 0.6 to 1.6 pCi/10001,²³⁸Pu/²³⁹Pu activity ratios being 0.2～0.7. The²²⁸Th/²³²Th activity ratios for the North Pacific waters varied between 7.6 and 30, whereas the sample from the East China Sea showed the very high value, 65. The contents of²³¹Pa are less than 6 percent of that in equilibrium with its parent²³⁵U. Furthermore, the analysis of plutonium isotopes in recent coral from Yoron Island was carried out and it was confirmed that plutonium isotopes have concentrated in recent coral with the concentration factor of about 1～2×10³.     

Different partitioning among thorium isotopes in seawater of the Northern North pacific

Each about 400 l of seawater sample was collected in the northern North Pacific and filtered through a membrane filter. Four radioisotopes of thorium,²³²Th,²³⁰Th,²²⁸Th and²³⁴Th, were determined for the two FractionsF (filtrate) andP (particles on the filter). In the percentages of FractionP in the subsurface water,²³⁰Th was significantly larger than other 3 isotopes, and²³²Th was significantly smaller than other 3 isotopes. The former finding can be explained by the slower rates in the reversible change between the FractionsF andP. The latter one, however, cannot be explained if thorium isotopes in the FractionF are truly dissolved with the same chemical form. This suggests that major part of the FractionF of²³²Th is not identical with those of other radiogenic thorium isotopes, and it should not be composed of simple dissolved ions. The removal of radiogenic²³⁴Th was related to the biological activity, but there was a deviation, between the FractionP and radioactivity deficiency of²³⁴Th in their vertical profiles. The deviation was similar to that between the chlorophylla and phaeo-pigments contents including their maximum depths.     

Determination of thorium isotopes in seawater by moored MnO2-fiber method

A method is described for the determination of Th isotopes (²³²Th,²³⁰Th,²²⁸Th and²²⁷Th) in seawater through analysis of Th adsorbed on MnO₂-impregnated fiber that has been moored in the deep sea for up to 10 months. Since the MnO₂-fiber adsorbs Th from seawater at a constant rate, natural²³⁴Th can be used as a yield monitor by making a correction for its decay during the period of deployment. The results obtained by the method showed good reproducibility and accuracy. The method has the advantage over the chemical coprecipitation method that the time and labor for sampling and processing a large-volume of seawater is reduced.     

Th and Pa isotopes in the waters of the western margin of the pacific near Japan: Evidence for release of228Ra and227Ac from slope sediments

Using the moored MnO₂-fiber method, we have obtained 38 determinations of Th and Pa isotope concentrations from 18 sites along the margin of the western North Pacific near Japan, from water depths of 1,330 to 5,873 m. From our data, we are able to show that (1)²²⁸Ra and²²⁷Ac are being supplied to the seawater from the slope sediments of Honshu, Japan, (2) our²³⁰Th and²³¹Pa concentrations match those obtained byin situ pumping with a MnO₂-fiber adsorber in the Japan and Izu-Ogasawara trenches but are significantly higher than those from the Panama and Guatemala basins, and (3) our²³²Th concentrations show a similar systematic decrease with depth as do those of trace metals like Mn, Al, Te and Bi whose concentrations are strongly controlled by particulate matter scavenging.In contrast, our data fail to show (1) that enhanced removal of²³⁰Th and²³¹Pa by scavenging from the water column is taking place near the western margins and (2) that²³¹Pa is being removed in preference to²³⁰Th from the water column to the marginal sediments. This is probably due to rapid mixing of the deep waters as compared to the scavenging rates of²³⁰Th and²³¹Pa in the water column and at the sediment/seawater interface.     

Precipitation of authigenic uranium in suboxic continental margin sediments from the Okinawa Trough

Concentrations of U and Th isotopes in Okinawa Trough and East China Sea sediment cores were determined by isotope dilution inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ID-ICP-MS) to investigate the behavior of redox sensitive uranium in suboxic hemipelagic sediments and determine their significance in oceanic uranium balance. ²³⁸U concentrations and ²³⁸U/²³²Th activity ratios in the East China Sea sediments showed no remarkable variation with depth. However, ²³⁸U and ²³⁸U/²³²Th ratios in the Okinawa Trough sediments were low in the surface oxidizing layer but increased where the suboxic condition was encountered. The distribution profiles of ²³⁰Th and ²³²Th concentrations were relatively constant with depth in both the Okinawa Trough and East China Sea sediment cores. These results suggested that there has been post-depositional precipitation of authigenic uranium within the suboxic Okinawa Trough sediment column. The post-depositional precipitation rates of authigenic uranium were estimated to be 47 ± 5 to >62 ± 8 ng cm⁻² yr⁻¹; these rates were comparable to those previously reported for several anoxic sediments. A mechanism controlling precipitation of uranium may be the downward diffusion of uranium U(VI), reduction to U(IV) and finally precipitation onto the solid phase. The accumulation rate of uranium for the Okinawa Trough sediments was approximately eight times higher than the world average rate reported for suboxic sediments. This removal of uranium in the oceanic budget increases the importance of the suboxic sediment sink.     

Th isotopes in the Santa Monica basin: Temporal variation,long-term mass balance and model rate constants

Distribution and flux of²³⁴Th,²³²Th and²³⁰Th in the water column of central Santa Monica basin observed over a period of seven years show seasonal and interannual variabilities. A steady-state model is applied to the integrated data to calculate long term average flux and model rate constants of Th isotopes. Mass balance calculations show that the basin acts like a closed system for short-lived²³⁴Th, but not for the long-lived isotopes²³⁰Th and²³²Th. Most²³⁰Th in the basin is transported from elsewhere. Of the incoming Th, 40–55% of the²³⁰Th and 14–26% of the²³²Th enter the surface water in dissolved form. In the upper 100 m, the residence time of dissolved Th with respect to adsorption onto suspended particulates, 70–80 days, is about one order of magnitude higher than the residence time of suspended particles with respect to aggregation into sinking particles, 7–10 days.     

Sinking fluxes of particulate U-Th radionuclides in the East Sea (Sea of Japan)

A record of radionuclide fluxes at a deep marginal sea of the Northwest Pacific Ocean (39°40′N 132°24′ E, Japan Basin, East Sea/Sea of Japan) was obtained from analysis of a 1-year continuous collection of sediment-trap samples. The trap was placed at a depth of 2800 m, 500 m above the sea floor, and the samples were recovered at the end of one year. Concentrations of ²³⁸U, ²³⁴U, ²³²Th, ²³⁰Th and ²²⁸Th were measured in the trapped material. All of the radionuclide fluxes showed seasonal variations that were in phase with the variations in total particle flux, which were shown in earlier work to be closely tied to the primary production in the surface water. The formation of authigenic ²³⁸U appears to be less than in other open ocean regimes. The residence time of particulate thorium isotopes were of the order of a year, resulting in an average settling rate of a meter per day. Comparison of the measured ²³⁰Th_ex flux with that of the theoretical production in the overlying water column yielded about 40% surplus of ²³⁰Th, indicating that lateral advection contributes ²³⁰Th to this sampling site.
