In Situ Collection of Diagenetic and Induced Oxyhydroxide Precipitates from Riverine and Estuarine Sediments

The use of plastic sheets as collectors of diagenetically-formed oxyhydroxides from riverine and estuarine sediments was evaluated. In a range of materials tested in the laboratory, Teflon and polycarbonate were found to be the most efficient collector materials. Laboratory optimisation experiments...

Description
Summary:The use of plastic sheets as collectors of diagenetically-formed oxyhydroxides from riverine and estuarine sediments was evaluated. In a range of materials tested in the laboratory, Teflon and polycarbonate were found to be the most efficient collector materials. Laboratory optimisation experiments indicated that the deposition of oxyhydroxides on both materials occurred quickly (
