Palladium, platinum, and gold were analyzed for 20 interstitial water samples from Leg 125. No Pd or Pt was detected in fluids from serpentinite muds from Conical Seamount in the Mariana forearc, indicating that low-temperature seawater-peridotite interaction does not mobilize these elements into the serpentinizing fluids to levels above 0.10 parts per billion (ppb) in solution. However, Au may be mobilized in high pH solutions. In contrast, fluids from vitric-rich clays on the flanks of the Torishima Seamount in the Izu-Bonin forearc have Pd values of between 4.0 and 11.8 nmol/L, Pt values between 2.3 and 5.0 nmol/L and Au values between 126.9 and 1116.9 pmol/L. The precious metals are mobilized, and possibly adsorbed onto clay mineral surfaces, during diagenesis and burial of the volcanic-rich clays. Desorption during squeezing of the sediments may produce the enhanced precious metal concentrations in the analyzed fluids. The metals are mobilized in the fluids probably as neutral hydroxide, bisulfide, and ammonia complexes. Pt/Pd ratios are between 0.42 and 2.33, which is much lower than many of the potential sources for Pt and Pd but is consistent with the greater solubility of Pd compared with Pt in most natural low-temperature fluids.
Resumo:
Au contents have been determined in 77 samples of basalts and sheeted diabase dikes. Pd has been evaluated in 39 of the samples. The mean amount of Au is 3 parts per billion (ppb), fluctuating from 0.4 to 10 ppb. Au contents appear to be independent in type and intensity of alteration as well as with depth sub-bottom, although in the lower part of Hole 504B, 1900-2000 mbsf, Au contents are markedly decreased (mean: 1.1 ppb) and show a distinct correlation with a decrease in Zn contents. Pd contents vary from 2 to 360 ppb (mean: 37 ppb) Pd is higher in basalts (53.7 ppb) and lower in diabase dikes (30 ppb), especially in moderately or strongly altered ones (12.5 ppb).
