Detailed interpretation of kinetic test data collected for environmental purposes has allowed criteria for ground and surface water geochemical exploration to be selected. Parameters predicted from kinetic testing to be anomalous in both ground and surface waters were observed to occur reflecting the presence of both molybdenum mineralization and natural acid rock drainage. Kinetic testing is very expensive and careful use of the acquired...

Rocks and soils enriched in bioavailable calcium carbonate (limestone, caliche, etc.). Hard waters, waters affected by acid-rock drainage. Cement, concrete, fly ash, many other industrial/ commercial materials or by-products. 

Common rock-forming mineral, although most Al-bearing silicates quite insoluble. Potentially soluble Al-hydroxides, hydroxysulfates form in lateric ore deposits, tropical soils, and precipitate in streams affected by acid-rock drainage. Al-rich soluble salts can occur in evaporative lake sediments, and in mine wastes. Potentially reactive forms in cement, concrete, smelter emissions, coal fly ash.
