Analysis of Correlations among Mercury, Iron and Manganese in Sediment of the Songhua River

Abstract:

The correlative and partial correlative analysis as well as plural factors analysis of variance among Hg, Fe, Mn and organic matter in sediments of the Songhua River were conducted. Results of correlative analysis showed that Hg was positively related to Fe, Mn and organic matter. When eliminated Fe and Mn, Fe and organic matter, Mn and organic matter, respectively, results of the partial correlative analysis showed that Hg was still positively related to Fe. However, the correlations of Hg and other components disappeared. The results of variance analysis showed high contribution ratio (85.1%) of Fe to squared deviation of Hg. Therefore, Fe was the dominant factor affected Hg and its distribution.
