  • As two common weathering minerals, hematite and goethite are generally regarded as sensitive indicators for environment. In this paper, suspended particle matter and floodplain sediments from the main stream and major tributaries of the Yangtze River are systemically studied by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The result reveals that the first derivative curve peak for hematite in the Yangtze River sediments occurs at 565 nm, while the first derivative curve main peak for goethite occurs at 505 nm and secondary peak for goethite occurs at 435 nm. It is different from previous studies on loess that the height of goethite's main peak in the Yangtze River sediments is overall higher than its secondary peak. In the Yangtze River catchment, both hematite and goethite are quite homogeneous in the Yangtze River main stream due to the hydrodynamic mixing, while variations in hematite and goethite contents are larger in the tributaries. Clear differences in DRS are observed between the Yangtze River and Huanghe sediments, loess and dust, which implies that the DRS method may shed new light on discriminating sediment provenances.
