German term or phrase: Alterierungsprozess
Angaben zur Zusammensetzung des Kerosins können der Literatur entnommen werden. Unterstützend wäre eine Analyse des am Standort vorliegenden Kerosins hilfreich. Dieses könnte ggf. aus einer der Grundwassermesstellen gewonnen werden, welche gelegentlich Phasenstärken in Millimeter Mächtigkeit aufweisen. Hierbei ist jedoch zu beachten, dass eine solche Probe bereits Alterierungsprozessen unterlegen sein kann.

Explanation:
The German term is very likely to be a literal take-over from the English.

"This ratio is consistent with an ***alteration process*** in which Ti is conserved and the anatase crystals grow from the Ti available immediately around them. It is unlikely that Ti migrated beyond the titanite pseudomorph."

http://bulletin.geoscienceworld.org/cgi/content/abstract/111...
"The relative abundance of n-alkanes, petrographic observations, and the geological data indicate that the ***alteration process*** on these inclusion oils was probably neither phase separation nor biodegradation, but water washing."
