HEAVY METALS IN SOILS

The physical absorption process for adsorbents and heavy metal ions in wateroften occurs by electrostatic attraction between these metal ions and the absorptionsites on the adsorbent surface. This connection is usually weak and unstable. However,because of weak bonding, the absorption[r]
