Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Geochemistry
  • Analytical Chemistry

Background:

  • The Tessier sequential extraction procedure is crucial for environmental and geochemical studies.
  • Limited availability of reference materials hinders its practical application and quality control.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the reliability of the Tessier sequential extraction procedure.
  • To generate a reference dataset for quality control and method development.
  • To analyze elemental distribution in marine sediments.

Main Methods:

  • Application of the four-step Tessier sequential extraction procedure.
  • Analysis of three marine sediment certified reference materials (HISS-1, MESS-4, PACS-3).
  • Quantification of 17 elements across extraction phases.

Main Results:

  • High percent recovery rates were achieved: 92% ± 40% (HISS-1), 101% ± 12% (MESS-4), and 102% ± 10% (PACS-3).
  • Average uncertainty for elemental concentrations was 13%, favorably comparing to the Horwitz equation target of 16%.
  • Successful elemental distribution analysis across extraction phases.

Conclusions:

  • The Tessier sequential extraction procedure is a reliable method for elemental analysis in marine sediments.
  • The generated reference dataset serves as a valuable tool for laboratory quality control and method development.
  • This study addresses the need for robust reference materials in geochemical and environmental research.
