| Abstract | The dual isotopic compositions of dissolved SO(4)(2-) in aquatic systems are commonly used to ascertain SO(4)(2-) sources and possible biogeochemical processes. In this study, the physical parameters, major anions and isotopic compositions of SO(4)(2-) in water samples from Changjiang River (Nanjin) to the East Sea in Changjiang Estuary were determined. The salinity ranged from 0% to 32.3% in the estuary water samples. The Cl(-), SO(4)(2-) concentrations and delta(18)O-H(2)O values followed the salinity variations from freshwater to seawater, which indicated that mixing processes might be a major factor involved in the distribution of water and solutes. The contents and isotopic compositions of SO(4)(2-) suggested that atmospheric deposition, evaporite dissolution and sulphide oxidation were the major sources of dissolved SO(4)(2-) in the freshwater of Changjiang River. In addition, the mixing model calculated by contents and isotopic compositions of SO(4)(2-) indicated that the mixing of freshwater and sea water was the major factor involved in SO(4)(2-) distribution in Changjiang Estuary. However, slightly elevated delta(18)O-SO(4) values were observed in the turbidity maximum zone, which suggested that biological processes might affect the O isotopic compositions of SO(4)(2-) there. |
