The Geochemistry of Stable Chlorine and Bromine Isotopes pp 115–144Cite as

Natural Variations of Stable Chlorine and Bromine Isotopes on Earth

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Isotope Geochemistry ((ADISOTOPE))

Abstract

Chlorine and bromine on earth are distributed quite systematically in the large geological reservoirs. Due to their chemical character, both elements are primarily concentrated in the fluid phase of any system and as a consequence, they are highly concentrated in the oceans on earth.
