Sorption isotherms: A review on physical bases, modeling and measurement
G. Limousin,Jean-Paul Gaudet,Laurent Charlet,Stéphanie Szenknect,Véronique Barthès,Mohamed Krimissa +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the physical bases underlying the definition of a sorption isotherm, different empirical or mechanistic models, and details several experimental methods to acquire a sink.

Symbiotic role of Glomus mosseae in phytoextraction of lead in vetiver grass [Chrysopogon zizanioides (L.)]
TL;DR: Results from this study indicate that vetiver plants in association with AM fungi can be used for improved phytoextraction of Pb from contaminated soil.

Microbially-induced Carbonate Precipitation for Immobilization of Toxic Metals
TL;DR: Current understanding of the ability of ureolytic microorganisms for carbonate biomineralization and applications of this process for toxic metal bioremediation are summarized.

The interaction of heavy metals with urban soils: sorption behaviour of Cd, Cu, Cr, Pb and Zn with a typical mixed brownfield deposit
TL;DR: The urban residue behaved in a similar manner to mineral soils despite a significant component of anthropogenic solid materials, and advertisersorption from the single-element solution was more effective than adsorption under multi-element conditions, due to competitive effects.

Geochemistry as an aid in archaeological prospection and site interpretation: current issues and research directions
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the application of geochemical methods in archaeological prospection and site interpretation is presented, and three major unresolved issues are discussed: (i) how to distinguish archaeological chemical signals in soils from modern and geogenic signals; (ii) what role do geochemical processes play in the formation of archaeological soils; (iii) How to implement geochemical method in archaeological research programs.

Sequential extraction procedure for the speciation of particulate trace metals
TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical procedure involving sequential chemicai extractions was developed for the partitioning of particulate trace metals (Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, Fe, and Mn) into five fractions: exchangeable, bound to carbonates, binding to Fe-Mn oxides and bound to organic matter.

Multi-step sequential chemical extraction of heavy metals from urban soils
M.J. Gibson,John G. Farmer +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a six-step sequential chemical extraction procedure was designed to establish the partitioning, mobility and availability of heavy metals lead, zinc, copper and cadmium in soils from a typical contaminated urban environment.

Urban soil contamination in Australia
TL;DR: In this article, the current knowledge of the pollution of Australian urban soils was reviewed with special reference to heavy metals, and approaches to the establishment of reference background levels in urban and rural areas.

The reactions of cadmium with calcium carbonate surfaces
P. Papadopoulos,D. L. Rowell +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Thorstenson and Plummer equation was used to relate solution composition and carbonate-adsorbed Cd in contaminated soils, and the surface area calculated from the maximum adsorption of Cd is 0.5-1.0 times that measured by the BET method.

Effectiveness of a commonly used sequential extraction technique in determining the speciation of cadmium in soils
N. D. Kim,Jack E. Fergusson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, Tessier et al. used the five-step method to extract cadmium-sorbed and coprecipitated "soil phases" from synthetic and real soil.
