Abstract

Purpose Recent research has focused on using water treatment residuals (WTRs) as cost-effective materials to remove potential environmental contaminants. To better understand and predict how WTRs affect the mobility and retention of nickel (Ni) in soils with time, it is crucial that the kinetics and thermodynamics of these reactions be understood. Such information is lacking in the literature and would aid in evaluating the suitability of WTR as a soil amendment for adsorbing Ni contaminant. Accordingly, we focused on investigating the retention of Ni in differing soils and the subsequent influence of WTR application on Ni retention.
