Microbial exopolymers are high molecular-weight mucous secretions of bacteria and
microalgae. They range from tight capsules which closely surround cells to the loose-slime …

Published data relevant to the geochemistry of vanadium were used to evaluate processes
and conditions that control vanadium accumulation in carbonaceous rocks. Reduction …

Metals in the hydrological cycle represent a very broad subject covering all parts of the
geological cycle. The present version of this book, therefore, would not have been possible …

Sargasso Sea suspended particles were sequentially digested with three chemical
treatments (acetic acid, mild HCl/HNO 3 and HF/HNO 3/HCl in a bomb). The latter two …

Scavenging experiments were performed at pH 3.6 to 6.2 with synthetic solutions containing
dissolved Fe (≈ 7 mg/L), Rare Earths and Yttrium (ΣREY:≈ 61 μg/L) in a matrix of 0.01 M …

Because of the unique chemical characteristics of the rare-earth elements (rees), they
provide information as oceanic tracers of element source and reactivity. The absolute and …

In order to evaluate details of the partitioning behaviours of Y, rare earth elements (REEs),
and Ti between inorganic metal oxide surfaces and seawater, we studied the distribution of …

Abstract The cycling of Fe, Mn, Ni, Co, Cu, Cr, V, and Mo during early diagenesis was
investigated in sediments from five different depositional environments in the California …

The processes occurring in surface marine sediments have a profound effect on the local
and global cycling of many elements. This graduate text presents the fundamentals of …

Examinations of rare earth element (REE) adsorption in seawater, using a variety of surface-
types, indicated that, for most surfaces, light rare earth elements (LREEs) are preferentially …
