A STUDY ON DISSOLVED SILICON IN THE OFFSHORE AREA OF THE HUANGHE RIVER ESTUARY
黄河口及其近岸海域的溶解硅研究

Dissolved silicon was studied in the offshore area of the Huanghe River Estuary and Adjacent coastal region during three surveys in 1984. The results showed that the concentrations and distribution of dissolved silicon in the offshore area of the Estuary exhibited a considerable seasonal variation dependent on the seasonal change of input of dissolved silicon from the Huanghe River. The behaviour of dissolved silicon was conservative during the mixing of the Huanghe River water with sea water in summer and fall. Some removal of dissolved silicon from solution occurred in spring.
