β¦ Synopsis
A model based on the shrinking-core principle is presented for three cases of oxidative metal leaching from nonporous mineral particles. Several limitations inherent in the assumptions of the traditional shrinking-core model, such as those of oxidation agent in excess and first-order irreversible kinetics, are overcome. In each case, an unconventional behavior observed in experimental data is explained through numerical leaching simulations.

## Abstract A mathematical model is presented for the transport and precipitation of mineral in refilling osteons. One goal of this model was to explain calcification βhalos,β in which the bone near the haversian canal is more highly mineralized than the more peripheral lamellae, which have been mi
