Description 175-176
Total particulate iron concentration varied from 1336.125 to 350.012 µg/litre and total organic particulate iron concentration from 1099.44 to 290.511 µg/litre in the salinity range 6.8 to 30% in the Vellar Estuary. Maxiµm (335.94 µg/litre) and miniµm (59.501 µg/litre) of HCl reactive iron were observed at 0.1 and 30% salinities respectively. The relationship between the rate of iron precipitation and salinity was non-linear. The study revealed that (1) inorganic fraction of particulate iron could contribute only lower percentages to total particulate iron (av. 18.8%) and (2) the role of sedimentary particles could not be neglected while considering precipitation of iron in estuaries.
