The fluvial sector shows a typical fractionation pattern of acid environments, with a convex morphology centered in the Gd. In agreement we approached the marine sector of the estuary, with conductivities greater than 50 mS·cm-1 and pH bigger than 6, this model evolves towards a fractionation pattern with a clear depletion in LREE that preferably are adsorbed on the particle surfacesspaAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/Rare earth elementsAcid mine drainageFractionation patternTinto riverjournal articleopen access
