Abstract

Elemental mobility during the weathering of granite in the Gwangju Hyangdeung area was investigated using ICP-MS analysis. It appeared that Al, Fe, Ti, K were lost from the profile, whereas Si, Ca, Na Mg, P and Mn were immobile during chemical weathering. In less weathered soil, large enrichment of K and Ti were found relative to Al, whereas other elements such as Si, Ca, Na, Mg and P are deplete. Fe content is constant throughout the weathered profiles. Amounts of Rb, Sr, Y, Cs, Pb, Th and U increased toward the surface. Nb, and Co have accumulated in the deepest parts of the weathered soil profile. These results agree with similar published studies. In addition, the analytical data shows that Ba and Ga increased, while Cu, Zn, Cr and Ni were relatively constant in this area. REE tend to increase in most samples, while LREEs, relative to Al, were enriched in the lower and upper saprolite. HREEs were enriched in the lower and upper saprolite.

광주광역시 향등지역에서 화강암의 풍화에 따른 토양단면의 지화학적 특성을 파악하기 위하여 11개의 시료를 화학분석 하였다. 모암에서부터 풍화암까지 주성분원소 중 Si, Ca, Na, Mg, P, Mn은 감소하고 Ti, Fe, K는 증가하는 경향을 보인다. 미량성분원소의 경우 Rb, Sr, Pb, Ba은 증가하는 경향을 보이며, As, Co늘 감소하는 경향을 보인다. 또한 Zn, Cr, Ni등은 부분적으로 집적된 경향을 보이나 전체적으로는 모암과 풍화토에서 거의 비슷한 함량을 갖는다. 희토류원소는 전체적으로 상부로 갈수록 증가하는데 경희토류원소(LREE)는 풍화초기에 기반암에서 용탈되어 풍화암(saprock)에서 집적되지만, 중희토류원소(HREE)의 경우는 상대적으로 집적되지 못하여 풍화초기에 약간 감소하는 경향을 나타낸다.
