Speciation of Particulate Zn in the Southern Ocean: Implications for Zn-cycling
Zinc plays an important role in many biogeochemical processes, and knowledge on Zn speciation in soluble and particulate pool is central to understanding the role of Zn different processes. Although Zn exists primarily in the +II oxidation state, it can form strong interactions with both soft and ha...

Zinc plays an important role in many biogeochemical processes, and knowledge on Zn speciation in soluble and particulate pool is central to understanding the role of Zn different processes. Although Zn exists primarily in the +II oxidation state, it can form strong interactions with both soft and hard Lewis bases, and thus modify the Zn solubility and bioavailability, and cycling based on the abundances of different ligands in the environment. Here we present speciation of Zn in the particulate pool of the Southern Ocean, and how this changes with location, water column depth, seasons, and its fate as particulates are incorporated into sediments. Particulate samples for this study come from the zero meridian in the Atlantic sector, and 30oE in the Indian sector. Collected particulates were analyzed using the conventional Zn X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy, and the novel high energy-resolution XANES spectroscopy (HERFD-XANES).
