Volatilization of tin as stannane in anoxic environments

Volatilization of metals can occur by various mechanisms and recent reports of volatilization of metals from the aquatic environment demonstrate loss from the aquatic metal budget. The contribution of decaying algal material to environmental cycling of tin by describing formation of volatile stannan...

Description
Summary:Volatilization of metals can occur by various mechanisms and recent reports of volatilization of metals from the aquatic environment demonstrate loss from the aquatic metal budget. The contribution of decaying algal material to environmental cycling of tin by describing formation of volatile stannane is discussed.
