Role of Ions in the Sorption of Amino Acids onto Serpentinite: Essays of Prebiotic Chemistry
Abstract
The sorption of some amino acids onto serpentinite was performed considering a hydrothermal water model (HWM). The results suggest that dissolved ions, in particular divalent cations, can favor the sorption of these molecules even in basic medium.
