Abstract
SummaryIn some alkaline soils of Punjab (India) the adsorption, desorption and solubility relationships of lead and cadmium were investigated and the results analysed by the Langmuir equation.Both the metals are retained in soils by adsorption on mineral interfaces and interaction with organic matter and calcium carbonate. At high concentrations, these probably precipitate as hydroxides. Sequential desorption of Pb and Cd with 1 MKCI and 0.05 MCu(CH3COO)2 provided a measure of their exchangeable and chelated form.
