Abstract
Alkaline nitrobenzene oxidation was used to produce vanillin and syringaldehyde from the lignin fraction of marine sediments and particulate matter filtered from seawater. Results indicate that this material constitutes a substantial proportion (1-14%) of the organic matter in the sediments and that a general background level (20-60 mcg/1) of material in the suspended fraction is attributable to lignin. The highest levels were found in the vicinity of forest industry plants.Keywords
