As a result of the growing use of multiple geochemical proxies to reconstruct ocean and climate changes in the past, there is an increasing need to establish temporal relationships between proxies derived from the same marine sediment record and ideally from the same core sections. Coupled proxy records of surface ocean properties, such as those based on lipid biomarkers (e.g. alkenone-derived sea surface temperature) and planktonic foraminiferal carbonate (oxygen isotopes), are a key example. Here, we assess whether 2 different solvent extraction procedures used for isolation of molecular biomarkers influence the radiocarbon contents of planktonic foraminiferal carbonate recovered from the corresponding residues of Bermuda Rise and Cariaco Basin sediments. Although minor Δ14C differences were observed between solvent-extracted and unextracted samples, no substantial or systematic offsets were evident. Overall, these data suggest that, in a practical sense, foraminiferal shells from a solvent-extracted residue can be reliably used for 14C dating to determine the age of sediment deposition and to examine age relationships with other sedimentary constituents (e.g. alkenones).

Small quantities of organic substances are inevitably entrained and dissolve in the aqueous raffinate during a copper solvent extraction (SX) operation. These organic substances contaminate the bioleaching environment through the loopback of the raffinate. The attachment of cells of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (At. ferrooxidans) to the low grade chalcopyrite ores and the bioleaching of the ores under the influence of solvent extraction organic substances were investigated. The results showed that the cells of At. ferrooxidans were apt to attach on the SX organics-contaminated chalcopyrite ores with an adsorption ratio of about 83%, larger than that of 44% on the uncontaminated ores as a control. However, the bioleaching efficiency decreased from 25% to 15% under the influence of the SX organic substances. Obviously, an improvement of the cells attachment did not improve the bioleaching efficiency of the low grade chalcopyrite ores by At. ferrooxidans in the present of the SX organic substances. The SX organic substances impacted the metabolism of At.ferrooxidans and their bioleaching ability.
