(Table 2A) Composition of metalliferous component of DSDP Hole 92-597A sediments

Element contents are given on the salt-free carbonate-free basis. The metalliferous component was leached from the carbonate-free fraction (the carbonate fraction was previously leached by 4 hours treatment by 10% acetic acid) by 3 hours treatment by mixed acid-reducing agent (1 M NH2OH•HCl and 25% acetic acid) and then by 3 hours treatment by hot HCl. Then chemical composition of the leachate was studied.
