Abstract

Iron,one of the essential micronutrients for life,would largely promote oceanic primary productivity. Atmospheric deposition has been recognized as the dominant source of bioavailable iron in the open ocean;however,the relative contribution of combustion aerosol and mineral dust to bioavailable iron in the ocean remains poorly understood. The development of iron isotope techniques provides a new way for tracing iron sources. The application of iron isotope technique in atmospheric and oceanic sciences is still limited,and iron isotopic compositions of aerosols from various sources are not well understood. In this study,we selected one Chinese coal fly ash,two American coal fly ashes,one European city waste fly ash and three mineral dust samples from different regions (Arizona test dust from America,Luochuan Loess from China,and Xinjiang dust from China) and measured their iron contents and iron isotopic compositions. The maximum mass fraction of iron in coal fly ash was measured to be ~10%,significantly higher than those for city waste fly ash and mineral dust (both in the range of 2% to 4%). The δ⁵⁶Fe values were determined to be 0.05‰-0.75‰ for the four fly ash samples and -0.05‰-0.21‰ for three mineral dust samples,respectively. Compared with mineral dust,combustion source particles showed heavier iron isotopic compositions,probably attributed to large variations in physicochemical properties of fuels and fly ashes.
