Seasonal variations of Zn, Cu, As and Mo in arsenic-rich stream at the Mokrsko gold deposit, Czech Republic

Abstract

The seasonal Zn and Cu cycles are believed to be cause by cyclic sorption and desorption onto oxyhydroxide substrates in response to the seasonal cycle of stream pH. In contrast, As and Mo seasonal variations are more consistent with Mn redox reactions.
