Abstract

Sorption processes at the mineral–water interface are fundamental to the chemical functioning of soils, and impact the biogeochemical cycling of both trace and major elements in soil and sediment environments [...]

Summary

Introduction

Publisher’s Note: MDPI stays neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. Surface complexation reactions control the solubility, and bioavailability and mobility, of trace elements and may promote electron transfer reactions between sorbed and structural ions. Our understanding of the basic mechanisms involved in the interaction between mineral surfaces and dissolved ions has become increasingly refined in recent decades through the application of advanced spectroscopic, microscopic, and modeling tools.
