Copper, a native metal found in ores, is the principal metal in bronze and brass. It is a
reddish metal with a density of 8920 kg m− 3. All of copper's compounds tend to be brightly …

The biogeochemical cycling of metals in natural systems is often accompanied by stable
isotope fractionation which can now be measured due to recent analytical advances. In …

The number of studies using various stable isotope systems for tracing contamination
sources and various biogeochemical processes is rapidly rising due to the increased …

Zinc is a ubiquitous metal, acting both as an essential and a toxic element to organisms
depending on its concentration and speciation in solution. Human activities mobilize and …

Isotope technology is an ideal tool for tracing the sources of certain pollutants or providing
insights into environmental processes. In recent years, the advent of multi-collector …

Abstract The Jinding Zn–Pb deposit located in the Mesozoic-Cenozoic Lanping Basin of
southwest China has ore reserves of∼ 220 Mt with an average grade of 6.1% Zn and 1.3 …

The transformation and mobility of heavy metals and synthetic pesticides in soil depend on
ageing, involving their chemical and physical distributions among soil fractions over time …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient released into soils during rock weathering, and Zn
isotope composition has been emerging as a powerful tracer involved in the Earth's surface …

Zn isotope can help to clarify the migration, transformation and source contribution of Zn in
farmland soil. However, the research on Zn isotope value of different end members in …

Isotope ratio measurements have been used to trace environmental processes, especially in
subsurface environments. In this study, we evaluated the potential to use zinc (Zn) stable …
