Abstract

Trace metal advection and diffusion in natural porous and fractured materials have been investigated by using radiotracers. Three case studies are presented: 1) Se infiltration in granite cores in the presence of pyrite, 2) Co advection in quartz sand columns containing a layer of MnO2, and 3) Cr diffusion in clay. It is shown that the migration processes are controlled by surface mediated redox transformations.
