Human societies have, in all ages, modified the original form of metals and metalloids in
their living environment for their survival and technical development. In many cases, these …

The inability to determine metal species in soils hampers efforts to understand the mobility,
bioavailability, and fate of contaminant metals in environmental systems, to assess health …

Environmental Soil Chemistry, Third Edition provides an up-to-date overview of the
interdisciplinary field of environmental soil chemistry. This classic text covers the …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes layered double hydroxides. Among the group of
minerals referred to as nonsilicate oxides and hydroxides, the layered double hydroxides …

Layered double hydroxides (LDH), also referred as hydrotalcite like compounds (HTlc),
constitute a large group of natural and synthetic minerals whose physico-chemical …

The partitioning (or sorption) of trace elements from aqueous solutions onto mineral surfaces
and natural organic matter (NOM) has played a major role in determining the trace element …

Aging refers to the processes by which the mobility and bioavailability/toxicity of metals
added to soil decline with time. Although long-term aging is a key process that needs to be …

In recent years, innovative studies have shown that sorption of metals onto natural materials
results in the formation of new mineral‐like precipitate phases that increase in stability with …
