摘要
对太平洋中部MP2001-01站位柱状样品中可溶有机质(氯仿沥青“A”)、有机碳、生物标志物(正构烷烃、类异戊二烯烃)、化学元素含量和比值[Al、Fe、Ti、Ba、Ba(bio))、Al/Ti和Ba(bio)/Ba]进行了分析和研究,结果显示:(1)柱状样品中可溶有机质含量为(0.074~0.265)×10^-3;饱和烃含量为(0.0080.032)×10^-3,占族组成的9.40%~19.20%;芳烃含量为(0.017~0.051)×10^-3,占族组成的15.23%~25.54%;非烃含量为(0.037~0.146)×10^-3,占族组成的40.67%~56.21%;沥青质含量为(0.011~0.049)×10^-3,占族组成的13.51%~23.97%。沉积地层中饱和烃和芳烃含量较低,非烃含量占优势,沉积物的物性呈现出典型的低成熟特征。(2)正构烷烃碳分子数分布范围大多为nC14~nC34,并多呈双峰群分布,主峰碳(MH)大多为nC17~nC19和nC27~nC29,轻、重烃比值(nC23^-/nC24^+)为0.631~0.950;碳优势指数(CPI)为0.983~1.382,显示出沉积物为海洋藻类、浮游生物、细菌和少量陆源高等植物的混合来源;样品中类异戊二烯烃中的姥鲛烷/植烷(Pr/Ph值)在沉积表层(0~1cm)为最低,随着埋藏深度的增加,该比值有增高的趋势,尤其在8~11cm和26~29cm处,该比值达最高,表明此时的氧化程度为最高,指示了所在研究海域经历了还原-弱氧化-氧化-强氧化的大洋沉积环境,显示出该区沉积物在漫长的地质历史时期大多处于氧化环境中。沉积介质的氧化还原强度主要取决于底层水的氧浓度,因此沉积氧化还原条件的演化是推断南极底层流活动的一个重要线索。(3)样品中的有机碳、烷烃总量、nC23^-/nC23^+值、化学元素及其比值[Al、Fe、Ti、Ba、Ba(bio)、Al/Ti和Ba(bio)/Ba]在14cm层位处均发生突变,暗示着在这一地质时期中曾有过明显的沉积环境变异,这种变化对大洋生物有强烈的影响;气候变化指数Al/Ti显示出,14cm层位处的上半部比下半部沉积时的气候明显温暖,揭示了沉积环境的变异与古气候的关系。
The soluble organic matter, biomarker (n alkanes, isoprenoid), organic carbon and the concentration and ratio of chemical elements (Al, Fe, Ti, Ba, Ba(bio) , Al/Ti, Ba(bio)/Ba) in the core sample MP2001-01 collected in the Central Pacific were studied. The concentration of chloroform bitumen "A" (ranging from 0. 074 ×10^-3 to 0. 265 ×10^-3 ), saturated hydrocarbon (ranging from 0. 008 ×10^-3 to 0. 032 ×10^-3 ), aromatic hydrocarbon (ranging from 0.017×10^-3 to 0. 051×10^-3), non hydrocarbon compounds (ranging from 0. 011×10^-3 to 0. 049 ×10^-3) showed that the sediments were characteristic of low contents of saturated hydrocarbon and aromatic hydrocarbon, meanwhile of high contents of non hydrocarbon compounds, indicating that the property of the sediment was at a low mature stage.
The n-alkanes have the carbon number ranging from C14 to C34 and maximizing at C17 to C19 and C27 to C29 with a double peak group distribution. The molecular indices (nC23^-/nC24^+ 0. 631-0. 950, CPI 0. 983-1. 382) of alkanes biomarker showed that the sediment was of a mixed origin from marine aquatic organism and terrestrial higher plants. And in the sediment the ratio of pristane to phytane (Pr/Ph) tailed off as the depth decreased, especially high in 8- 11 cm and 26-29 cm, indicating the sediment aggraded in an oxygenic environments in the long period of earth evolvement. The redox potential of sediments depends on the concentration of oxygen in the bottom water, so the redox potential evolution of sediment was an important indictor of Antarctic Bottom Water activity.
Various indicators (TOC,HC. nC23^-/nC24^+,Al,Fe,Ti.Ba.Ba(bio).Al/Ti) were abnormal at 14 cm in the core sample MP2001-01, suggesting that there was an evident depositional environment change ever in this geological period.
