What is Regolith Geochemistry and Metal Mobility about?
Regolith geochemistry and mineralogy are influenced by several factors that control metal mobility in the near-surface environment. Major elements like Al, Si, Fe are generally more mobile under acidic (pH < 4) or alkaline (pH > 8) conditions due to alumino-silicate solubility. Divalent cations like Ca, Mg, Zn are most soluble as hydrated ions (M2+) at pH < 9. Trace metal mobility is also affected by ionic properties like charge and radius, with higher ionic potential elements forming more stable oxides and
