Scientific paper

The vertical distribution of dissolved Al in interstitial waters of recent marine sediments has been determined using a fluorimetric analytical method adapted for interstitial water analysis. The results suggest that diagenetic reactions occur in the sediment soon after deposition. A narrow depth zone acting as a source of dissolved Al is found in each core. Outside this zone Al appears to be removed from solution and its concentration decreases to values of 1.5 gAl/l or less, comparable to those of open ocean waters. Dissolved Al and SiO 2 concentrations in interstitial waters close to the sediment-seawater interface are linearly correlated in most cases, suggesting that the geochemistry of Al may be related to the behaviour of biogenic silica in marine sediments.
