Scientific paper

Studies of seawater-sediment and seawater-clay mineral exchange equilibria demonstrate that rinsing procedures employed in many previous studies have grossly shifted the exchange equilibria away from the true seawater conditions. Exchange complements have been determined here by measurement of compositional changes in seawater that result from reaction with clays, thereby avoiding rinsing. These data show that exchangeable Na + is normally greater than or equal to exchangeable Mg 2+ on clays and sediments in exchange equilibrium with seawater. On introduction to seawater, fluvial clays are shown to give up their exchangeable Ca 2+ for Na + , a process of importance in the geochemical budget of Na + .
