Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetics of cadmium and cobalt desorption from iron and manganese oxides
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the kinetics of desorption of Cd and Co from two Fe oxides, goethite and ferrihydrite, and from two Mn oxides (hausmannite and cryptomelane).
Journal ArticleDOI
Cadmium and cobalt desorption kinetics from soil clays: effect of sorption period
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of sorption period on the subsequent desorption kinetics of Cd and Co from two natural soil clay fractions was examined using techniques and models developed previously for studies with synthetic oxides.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the background heavy metal and Fe or Mn contents in soils appear to be consistent for seven important heavy metals of environmental concern, i.e., As, Cr, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adsorption of Au(I, III) complexes on Fe, Mn oxides and humic acid
TL;DR: In this article, the adsorption of AuCl4, AuCl2, and Au(S2O3)2 3, at low Au concentrations relevant to most supergene waters on geothite, birnessite and soil humic acid was investigated at pH 4, pH 2, and 0.1 M NaNO3 solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cadmium accumulation in agricultural soils in Western Australia
TL;DR: This article measured soil Cd, P and Zn concentrations at different depths and with total (mixed acid) and partial extractants (CaCl2, EDTA and HCl) at sites with a known phosphate fertilizer history.
