Anionic pesticides are adsorbed on the mineral oxide fraction of the soil surface but considerably less on the organic fraction, so that the presence of organic matter causes a decrease in the amount ...
Fourier transform infrared microscopy has been used to investigate in situ dehydroxylation of goethite to form hematite. The characterisation was based on the behaviour of hydroxyl units, which were o...
Aging of synthetic goethite at 140 degrees C overnight leads to a composite material in which hematite is detectable by Mössbauer spectroscopy, but X-ray diffraction does not reveal any hematite peak...
Recent spectroscopic work has suggested that only one surface species of sulfate is dominant on hematite. Sulfate is therefore a very suitable anion to test and develop adsorption models for variable ...
Recently a new general ion adsorption model has been developed for ion binding to mineral surfaces (Hiemstra and van Riemsdijk, 1996). The model uses the Pauling concept of charge distribution (CD) an...
The adsorption of copper(II) onto goethite is qualitatively different from that of other metal-mineral systems. At pH 5.0 the adsorption isotherms are sigmoid rather than hyperbolic, and the correspon...
The adsorption of one phosphonate, two hydroxyphosphonates, and five aminophosphonates onto the iron (hydr)oxide goethite (alpha-FeOOH) has been studied as a function of pH. At phosphonate concentrati...
