Account of cationic exchange in the nucleation and growth of minerals in aqueous solutions.
Résumé
Ion exchange in mineral phases is a very important geochemical process which takes place in many natural systems (soils, geological reservoirs, etc), and which concerns both major and minor ions present in most of the natural solutions in contact with mineral phases possessing a cation exchange capacity. It may control the transfer or fixation of cations of interest in many environmental problems.
