Vertical changes of the Co and Mn speciation along a lateritic regolith developed on peridotites (New Caledonia)

Gabrielle Dublet, Vincent Noel

Because they can host significant amounts of Co, the Mn-oxides are commonly considered as the major Co-bearing mineral species in lateritic environments. However, little is known about the process leading to the formation and/or the weathering of these Co- ...
