Compared to some of the other heavy metals (such as cadmium and lead), zinc (Zn) is a vital trace element for humans and plants but toxic at high concentrations. Stable Zn isotopic techniques have been used to trace the sources of Zn in soils over the past decade. However, sorption processes after Z...
