Studies of lithogeochemical dispersion haloes of rare metal pegmatites, particularly those of
economic interest, are known to display strong development of haloes of rare alkali …

Clay is a widespread natural mineral. The review considers physical and chemical
properties of clay minerals which are important in terms of geological high-level radioactive …

Radioactive caesium (chiefly 137 Cs) is a major environmental pollutant. The mobility of Cs
in temperate soils is primarily controlled by sorption onto clay minerals, particularly the …

The charged surfaces of micaceous minerals, especially illite, regulate the mobility of the
major radioisotopes of Cs (134 Cs, 135 Cs, 137 Cs) in the geosphere. Despite the long …

The near-surface water cycle in a geologically complex area comprises very different
sources including meteoric, metamorphic and magmatic ones. Fluids from these sources …

Rubidium is an active element on Earth, but whether and how its isotopes fractionate during
geological processes are not known yet. In this study, we present data showing large …

Understanding the adsorption mechanisms of metal cations onto soils and sediments is of
critical importance in the protection of the environment, especially for the case of radioactive …

For understanding and predicting the Cs behavior in soils and groundwater, Cs adsorption
properties of illite and vermiculite were investigated under various pH conditions and Cs …

The reproducibility of elemental profile in wines produced across vintages of 2015 and 2016
has been studied using grapes from a single scion clone of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Pinot noir …

Potassium (K+) phlogopite was transformed to a vermiculite-like mineral through a topotactic
reaction under acidic conditions (pH 2) followed by hydrothermal treatment with Na+, Mg2+ …
