Abstract
Metal sorption observed in waste site soils is quite different from that observed in artificially-contaminated soils and well-defined homogeneous surfaces. Despite this apparent difference, sorption characteristics of well-defined surfaces have often been used to determine potential leaching into the subsurface. In this regard, a lumped parameter surface complexation model has been developed and applied to waste site soils and humic substances under a wide range of solution chemistry conditions. The model requires minimal inputs while the fitting parameters offer insights to soil remediation alternatives and help in assessing risks associated to potential leaching of residual metal to the environment.
