Influence of pH on Soil Charge Characteristics and Cadmium Sorption in Some Noncontaminated Soils of Indian Subtropics

Concentrations of total dissolved cadmium (Cd) and activity of its free ions in soil solution are suggested to be influenced by soil pH, organic matter (OM) content, cation exchange capacity (CEC), and clay mineralogy. We investigated the sorption of Cd by taking 25-, 50-, and 100-µM Cd solutions in...
