Size distribution of chemically extracted quartz used to characterize fine-grained sediments

Quartz is an ubiquitous component of marine sediments. Textural characteristics of this component reflect the dynamics of its transport and at the same time are indicative of its source. Quartz may be extracted from marine sediments by means of a sodium pyrosulfate fusion and hydrofluosilicic acid d...
