Niquelândia soils (ultramafic and near the plant)
Goiás, Brazil (Central-West ultramafic complexes), Brazil
Soils
- Type
- Soil
Soils of the Niquelândia ultramafic complex, and four soils outside it (Anápolis-Itauçu), low in nickel, at 0.1, 1.8, 5 and 20 km from the plant: their δ60Ni increases towards the plant. Indicative coordinates.

| −0.06 ± 0.02 ‰ | −0.09 / −0.04 ‰ | 5 | topsoil Mean and standard deviation recalculated from 5 values. NQ_S1 (two depths) to NQ_S4, ultramafic soils. | Ratié et al. (2016), Nickel isotope fractionation during laterite Ni ore smelting and ref… |
| 0 ± 0.13 ‰ | −0.19 / 0.1 ‰ | 4 | topsoil off ultramafic rocks Mean and standard deviation recalculated from 4 values. Non-ultramafic soils at 0.1 km (+0.10 ‰), 1.8 km (+0.03 ‰), 5 km (+0.07 ‰) and 20 km (-0.19 ‰) from the plant: smelter nickel fallout nearby. | Ratié et al.
