Kd distributions in freshwater systems as a function of material type, mass-volume ratio, dissolved organic carbon and pH

“…10). These results are in agreement with previous publications for Pb, Co and Zn (Alkhatib et al, 2016;Alkhatib et al, 2016b;Tessier et al, 1989;Veselý et al, 2001;White and Driscoll, 1987), but not for Cr (Peng et al, 2003). This difference between the results obtained from a specific study and those obtained from a large dataset highlights that these relationships must be applied with caution and that the use of local data remains the best choice.…”

Kinetics of sorption of lead on bed sediments of River Hindon, India

“…However, few attempts have been made to study the sorption process on riverbed sediments in their natural state of occurrence (Brydie and Polya 2003;Peng et al 2003;Burton et al 2006;Dali-Youcef et al 2006;Higgins and Dzombak 2006). Stream sediments adsorb certain solutes from streams, thereby significantly changing the solute composition, but little is known about quantitatively describing sorption phenomena and rates of these processes.…”
