Zijiang main-stream sediments (area A)
Hunan, Zijiang River basin, China
Sediments
- Type
- Sediment
Surface sediments of the Zijiang (653 km, tributary of Dongting Lake) and its mining tributaries, in the Xikuangshan antimony belt (Longshan, Xikuangshan, Gutaishan, Zhazixi and Banxi deposits); sediment Sb mostly anthropogenic, with little isotope fractionation along the river (dilution and adsorption on Al-Fe oxides without notable effect) according to Liu et al. (2024). Sampling coordinates in Table S1, not supplied. Sites Z1 to Z23 from upstream to downstream; mean Sb 31.55 mg/kg, constant values downstream (Z15 to Z23) after the Xikuangshan inputs.
