Adsorption of several metal ions onto a model soil sample: equilibrium and EPR studies.

Soils play an important role in the control of metallic cations in the environment. Therefore, knowledge of the adsorption properties of soil is crucial in understanding and solving pollution problems. Adsorption isotherms provide a macroscopic view of the retention phenomena.

Surface complexation of copper(II) on soil particles: EPR and XAFS studies.

The interactions of transition metals with natural systems play an important role in the mobility and the bioavailability of these metals in soils. In this study, the adsorption of copper(II) onto natural soil particles was studied as a function of pH and metal concentration. The retention capacity of soil particles was determined at pH 6.
