Sorption when groundwater contaminating by heavy metals and radioactive elements. Plumbum
The present issue of the series «Sorption processes at contamination of groundwater heavy metals and radioactive elements» is devoted to the study of the adsorption / desorption behavior of lead. The main interest of this issue is mechanisms of lead retention and the effect of soil pH, macrocations, organic and inorganic ligands. Interactions lead with organic ligands are the most important mechanisms controlling availability and mobility this metal. Disposal of wastes such as municipal compost, waste incinerator slag and sewage sludge is locally a significant source of Pb entering to land. One of the practical problems of this issue is to obtain information for the modeling lead behavior in «water - rock» interaction and contamination of aquifer. The review will be useful for professionals modelling processes of heavy metals contamination in aquifer.
