ASSESMENT OF TRACE ELEMENTS AND MOBILITY OF ARSENIC AND MANGANESE IN LAGOON SEDIMENTS OF THE HUASCO AND COPOSA SALT FLATS, CHILEAN ALTIPLANO
Total concentration of Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Cr, Cd, As, Sb and Se in lagoon sediments found in the Huasco and Coposa salt fats, Chilean Altiplano and the mobility of As and Mn by means of a simple extraction methodology was studied. The optimum digestion was made with HCl:HNO3 3:1, and the detection of e...

Total concentration of Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Cr, Cd, As, Sb and Se in lagoon sediments found in the Huasco and Coposa salt fats, Chilean Altiplano and the mobility of As and Mn by means of a simple extraction methodology was studied.
