2 ½ life Radioactive used for dating U-Pb (U million/ U billion) Sm-Nd 50 by K-Ar 1.3 by Carbon y STABLE ISOTOPES Hydrogen 1 1H, 2 1Deuterium ( 3 1Tritium 12.3 yrs) Carbon C, 13 C( 14 C radioactive) Nitrogen N, 15 N Oxygen O, 17 O, 18 O Sulfur S, 33 S, 34 S, 36 S Different isotopes of an element have different abundance influencing what we measure 2
3 So What? the same atomic # means that isotopes have basically the same properties the different atomic weights of isotopes means that they have just slightly different properties (e.g. physical characteristics, rates of chemical reactions) e.g. 1 H 16 2 O has a boiling point of 100 C 2 H 16 2 O has a boiling point of C Implications the slightly different properties of the isotopes result in: (1) a temperature dependence for many reactions (2) chemical isotope fractionation (a change in isotopic composition) between products and reactants, for an incomplete reaction (3) differentiation of isotopic composition between elemental reservoirs with different properties (physical, chemical, biological) (4) Biological fractionation 3
4 Applications 1. Temperature (e.g. paleoclimate, ore deposits, petrology) 2. Processes (e.g. vaporization, oxidation/reduction, photosynthesis, trophic transfer) 3. Sources (e.g. groundwater contaminants, avian migration, forensic geochemistry) 4. Tracers (natural and artificially-enriched compounds EST Paper, Measurement Interested in comparing variation not actual concentrations -Bend a beam of charged ions in a magnetic field -Separate isotopes that then go to faraday cup collectors -Each cup measures that isotope simulateously-get a ratio -Switch between sample and standard to compare 4

Hydrogen - SMOW Carbon - calcite from a belemnite fossil from the Peedee Formation in South Carolina (PDB). Sometimes PDB is also used for carbonate oxygen. Nitrogen - atmospheric N 2. Sulfur -sulfur in troilite (FeS) of the Canyon Diablo Meteorite from Meteor Crater, Arizona (CDT). Relatively light elements so mass differences easy to measure EST article is on using heavy isotopes 5
6 From Clark and Fritz (1997) ISOTOPE FRACTIONATION Isotope fractionation: the development of differences in isotopic composition as a result of physical and chemical processes. The degree of fractionation depends on the relative weights of the isotopes. Commonly fractionated: H, C, N, O, S Somewhat fractionated: Si, Fe, Cl As our methods get tbetter we can measure heavy isotope fractionation 6
7 Factors causing fractionation Phase changes lighter isotope greater vibrational frequency due to less mass VF=1/(mass) 1/2 bonds more easily broken with lighter The Rule of Bigeleisen (1965) - The heavy isotope goes preferentially into the compound with the strongest bonds Heavier goes into compound with higher oxidation state Lighter isotopes form weaker bonds in compounds, react faster. concentrated in the products. At high temperatures, the equilibrium constant for isotopic exchange tends towards unity, i.e., because small differences in mass are less important when all molecules have very high kinetic and vibrational energies. 7
8 THE ISOTOPE FRACTIONATION FACTOR The isotope fractionation factor is defined as: a Ra b Rb where R a = the ratio of heavy to light isotope in phase a; R b = the ratio of heavy to light isotope in phase b. For example, consider: H 2 O(l) H 2 O(v) at 25 C l Rl O O v( O) R O O v l v CO2 air- ocean H2O CO 2 g O O H 2Ol O O 18 l O v 1.04 CO2 (g) + H2O (l) H2 CO3 CO2 (g) + H2O (l) At 25 o C δ 18 O CO2 in air is 40 While that of ocean is 0 8
9 Temperature dependence-example from Faure 9
10 Because both H and O occur together in water, δ 18 O and δd are highly correlated in meteoric water, yielding the meteoric water line Meteroric water is derived from atmospheric water vapor Figure 1. (Clark and Fritz 1997, p. 37, as compiled in Rozanski et al. 1993, modified by permission of American Geophysical Union). 10

12 Seasonal variations Climatic variations Ice core data Use relationships established for δ 18 O and temperature of specific locations δ 18 O=0.695Tannual δ 18 O=0.33Tmonthly decrease for 1.7 o C decrease Fractionation driven by ocean temperature- colder more fractionation and 18O likely to remain in the ocean Steen Larsen paper JGR v
13 Higher T δ 18 O of O2 in the atmosphere Atmosphere O 2 δ 18 O Ocean water is 0 Why is the atmosphere so positive? Complicated from Hoefs Stable isotope geochemistry 6 th ed O2 in the air produced by photosynthesis without fractionation Also if there was equilibrium between atmospheric oxygen and water on the surface at 25 o C the atmosphere would be + 6 Idea is that the more positive value is due to respiration and oxygen more consumed during respiration is the lighter isotope resulting in 18 O remaining in the atmosphere Or plants and organically boun d C retaining 16O 13
14 From Clark and Fritz 1997 C on surface of the earth δ 13 C mantle= earth total = -5 If on the surface If on the surface ¼ buried as carbon with value -28 ¾ left in ocean in equilibrium with ocean carbonates 0 See evidence of great oxidation event at 2.4 by prior to this carbonates in the ocean have slightly positive δ 13 C Atmosphere C in CO2 is -7.7 Coal is -27 Attribute value to being less than -5 due to fossil fuel input with ½ being dissolved in ocean and assimilated by plants 14

19 SULFIDE/SULFATE FRACTIONATION The extent of fractionation of S-isotopes between sulfate and sulfide by biological processes depends on: 1) The rate of metabolism by bacteria. 2) Composition and abundance of food supply. 3) Size of sulfate reservoir. 4) Temperature. 5) The rate of removal of H 2 S. From Clark and Fritz (1997) Archean and Early Proterozoic (to about 2 by ago) No fractionation- 19
