Movilidad geoquimica en sedimentos fluviales alrededor de una zona minera en Santa Rosalía Baja California Sur.

Abstract

Se estudian contenidos de cinco elementos mayores (fierro, magnesio, manganeso, sodio y titanio) y diez elementos traza (arsénico, bario, cobalto, cobre, cromo, cadmio, níquel, plomo, estroncio y zinc) en muestras de sedimentos superficiales tomadas cerca de la zona y alejadas del distrito minero, por lo que se observan diferentes contenidos de los elementos conforme la cercanía a la zona minera.

ABSTRACT Five major elements are studying (iron, magnesium, manganese, sodium and titanium) and ten trace elements (arsenic, barium, cobalt, copper, chromium, cadmium, nickel, lead, strontium and zinc) studied in sediment samples, taken near the surface and in a remote area of the mining district, that's why, different contents of elements near the mining area are observed, also the presence of another common element are seeing, like the case of zinc and copper, strontium and barium, chromium and nickel, and magnesium and sodium. This compete with each other in all three sectors, there is the highest concentrations in ascending order from sector one in the mining area to sector three.
