On the role of sorption in the formation of eluvial-deluvial scattering halos

Abstract

The formation of secondary eluvial-deluvial scattering halos at lead and molybdenum deposits was usually considered as a process of mechanical dispersion of weathering products of ore bodies and host rocks. As the study of the mineral composition of loose eluvial-deluvial deposits of some deposits of the Eastern Transbaikalia has shown, the formation of secondary scattering halos appears to be more complex.
