We presented an optimized and purification procedure as well as an analytical method for Cu and Zn isotopes measurement in marine sediments. We reported Cu and Zn isotope of 5 samples in a sediment cores and 20 surface sediment samples in the northern and southern Okinawa Trough. Anion exchange resin (AG MP-1M) was applied to separate matrix elements of sediment samples from Cu, Fe and Zn using 8.2 mol/L HCl+0.01% HF+0.001% H2O2, 2 mol/L HCl+0.001% H2O2 and 0.5 mol/L HNO3 as eluents. The recoveries of Cu and Zn were both close to 100%. Cu and Zn isotopes were measured on a Nu Plasma multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (MC-ICP-MS). Instrumental mass bias was corrected using a combination of sample-standard bracketing and internal spiking. The long-term reproducibilities were 0.11‰ (2SD) for Cu isotopes and 0.09‰ (2SD) for Zn isotopes. The δ66Zn of surface sediments varies from 0.07‰ to 0.67‰, with an average of 0.31‰ ± 0.32‰ (2SD); the δ65Cu of surface sediments ranges from −2.26‰ to −0.52‰, with an average of −1.21‰ ± 0.55‰ (2SD). The results show that Cu and Zn isotopes of surface sediments in the Okinawa Trough varies widely, meanwhile, Cu and Zn isotopes in sediment core varies with depth.
