Lithium and its isotopes behavior during incipient weathering of

It is generally believed that (1) during the incipient stage of weathering and in catchments of low chemical weathering intensity, the congruent weathering process (a high ratio of primary rock dissolution relative to secondary mineral formation (Pogge von Strandmann et al., 2017)) cannot result in significant Li isotope fractionation, and the δ 7 …

Lithium-isotope fractionation during continental weathering processes

Lithium has several advantages as an isotope tracer of weathering. Its two isotopes have a bigger relative mass difference than do those of, for example, oxygen; it is not a critical component of biological or atmospheric cycles (unlike nitrogen, oxygen or carbon); and it is only slightly incompatible during igneous processes so tends to be …
