Objectives

    To investigate the effect of KCl on the release of Mn from a series of Mn-bearing minerals and representative sols from temperate and tropical regions, and to study the release of Mn from a series of Mn-bearing minerals in relation to their ability to catalyze the polymerization of polyphenols and the subsequent formation of humic substances.
