Competitive Sorption and Transport of Heavy Metals in Soils and Geological Media

Bringing new understanding to heavy metals sorption and transport in soils and aquifers, this book explores sorption and mobility of single versus multiple heavy metals species in the vadose zone. It relates transport mechanisms with processes which govern sorption mechanisms that dominate in a competitive system of multiple heavy metal species. Based on knowledge presented in this book, one can identify competitive transport processes of heavy metals which can be subsequently used as a predictive tool.
