Abstract:The
fate of Cr(VI) in soils/sediments largely depends on its sorption
by iron oxides/hydroxides. But, their combination with surrounding
minerals (e.g., quartz (Qu), clays) evidently changes some properties.
Since ferrihydrite (Fh) is the precursor for most iron oxides, the
10 days sorption experiments studying Cr(VI) mobility were performed
using the reference Qu–montmorillonite (Mt)–Fh system.
From the results of batch experiment, ζ potential, Fourier transform
infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
