Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
The bulk phosphorus (P) distribution in sediment samples from the oxygen minimum zone of the northern Arabian Sea was determined using two methods: sequential chemical extraction (the ‘SEDEX’ procedure) and X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy of the phosphorus K-edge. Our results show good agreement between iron (Fe-)associated P and calcium phosphate minerals (Ca-P) determined by both methods. Furthermore, we find that SEDEX exchangeable P likely represents loosely Fe-bound P, and that the SEDEX detrital fraction may consist partly of polyphosphate, i.e. microbially synthesized intracellular phosphate. Below productive waters with relatively high sedimentary organic matter and P contents, polyphosphates may represent an important P sink that is not easily identified by chemical sequential extraction. This study highlights the value of SEDEX as a generally accurate and fast P speciation technique (especially for Fe- and Ca-P) and, for the first time, demonstrates the possibilities of P K-edge XANES as a bulk P speciation tool for marine sediments. |
