The Effect of Aeration on Mn(II) Sorbed to Clay Minerals and Its Impact on Cd Retention
Natacha Van Groeningen, Iso Christl, Ruben Kretzschmar
Abstract
due to dissolution of Mn(II)-containing phases and the decrease in pH. Our results demonstrate the significance of clay minerals in the (trans)formation of Mn-containing phases and their impact on trace metal retention in environments undergoing fluctuating redox conditions.
