The adsorption of Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb by δ-MnO₂ and its inclusion in an equilibrium model of metal partitioning in soils

Chemical equilibrium modelling provides a mechanistic tool for the prediction of metal partitioning in soils, which is important in predicting the fate and effects of metals in soil systems. In order to set up an equilibrium model of metal partitioning in soil systems, thermodynamic data for all pro...
