Abstract

The partition of Mn into aragonite has been studied by laboratory experiments in which the mineral was precipitated from seawater by the slow addition of Na2CO3. The partition coefficient was found to be 0.86 ± 0.04 and was independent of temperature between 30-60° C, of solution composition up to a molar ratio Mn2+ Ca2+ of 2 · 10-3 and of NaCl concentration up to 5 M. The coprecipitation of Mn into aragonite is controlled by surface processes and obeys the Doerner-Hoskins relationship. © 1977.
