GEOCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF INTERSTITIAL WATER OF THE BOHAI GULF

This paper discusses the geochemical characteristics of the interstitial water of the Bohai Gulf, where the main salt contents (K⁺, Na⁺, Ca⁺⁺ Mg⁺⁺, Cl^-, HCO₃^-, SO₄^-) in 55 sedimentary layers of 13 cores (3-4 m in length) and those of bottom seawater have been determined and the exchange capacity and exchange cations (K⁺, Na⁺, Ca⁺⁺, Mg⁺⁺) of the layers analysed (see Fig.1).
