摘要
Concentrations of Ce, Th, Cr, Hf, Cs, Sc, Fe, Co and Eu have been determined in the suspended particulate matter and sediments of the Sea Reach area of the Thames Estuary using instrumental neutron activation analysis. Element-scandium relationships in the materials indicate a difference in composition of the suspended matter to the sediment and it is suggested that the suspended matter represents resuspended fine grained detrital sediment. The observed hafnium enrichment in the sediment is discussed in relation to this. © 1979.
