Surface complexation modeling of Cu(II) adsorption on mixtures of hydrous ferric oxide and kaolinite

摘要

BackgroundThe application of surface complexation models (SCMs) to natural sediments and soils is hindered by a lack of consistent models and data for large suites of metals and minerals of interest. Furthermore, the surface complexation approach has mostly been developed and tested for single solid systems. Few studies have extended the SCM approach to systems containing multiple solids.
