The role of soil components in the sorption of tetracycline and heavy metals in soils

Abstract

did not exert obvious effects on TC sorption of BS, but exhibited a suppression effect on TC sorption of ROM, ROX and HA, which was likely to relate to the surface potentials of the soils. The results in this study are expected to give an insight into the role of different soil components in the sorption and co-sorption of TC and heavy metal through a mathematical model and to reveal the sorption mechanism.
