Contribution of Ion Exchange Transformation of the Adsorbed Complex of Atmospheric Aerosols to the Formation of Seawater Salt Composition

Аннотация

Data were summarized on the total exchange capacity and the composition of adsorbed complex of terrigenous aerosols generated in the arid and semiarid land areas. The calculations showed that the changes in composition of the adsorbed complex of aerosols during the interaction with seawater resulted in an additional supply of 2.64–4.86 mln t/year of dissolved Ca²⁺ along with the removal of 2.45–4.51, 0.73–1.34, and 0.08–0.14 mln t/year of dissolved Na⁺, K⁺, and Mg²⁺, respectively.
