RB 93/00016 Soil Air CO2/O2 Project: Progress report 5. Curnamona area.
The rationale of soil air carbon dioxide and oxygen measurements, as a guide to oxidising sulphide, is that sulphide oxidation in the presence of water and oxygen will produce sulphuric acid which in turn, will attack any carbonates present to produce...-
