Fine Particle Adsorption Capacity of Volcanic Soil from Southern Kyushu, Japan.

"Akahoya" is a volcanic soil classified as a special soil deposited in Kyushu, Japan. Many of its properties are not yet clearly understood. We found that Akahoya had the potential to adsorb bacteria in cattle feces, which prompted us to investigate its material properties and perform experiments to comprehensively evaluate its adsorption performance for various fine particles such as acidic and basic dyes, NO/SO gas, and phosphoric acid ions, in addition to bacteria.
