15increasing the sorbate c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong> will cause either no shift at very low coverage or ashift to higher pH values becoming less steep with increasing coverage (Hayes <strong>and</strong> Katz,1996). Temperature has also been observed to affect cati<strong>on</strong> uptake; <str<strong>on</strong>g>adsorpti<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> edges ofZn, Cu, Pb, <strong>and</strong> Cd <strong>on</strong> goethite (Johns<strong>on</strong>, 1990; Rodda et al. 1993) <strong>and</strong> Ni, Gd, <strong>and</strong> Y <strong>on</strong>alumina (Kosmulski, 1997) shifted to lower pH values as temperature rose from 10-70<strong>and</strong> 15-35 °C, respectively. The relative affinity of a <str<strong>on</strong>g>metal</str<strong>on</strong>g> is reflected by the positi<strong>on</strong> ofthe edge jump. Dzombak <strong>and</strong> Morel (1990) reported the following trend for <str<strong>on</strong>g>metal</str<strong>on</strong>g>affinity to HFO Ca < Ni < Zn < Cd < Pb < Cr <strong>and</strong> Cornell <strong>and</strong> Schwertmann (1996)discussed a trend of Mn < Ni < Co < Cd < Zn < Pb< Cu.The effect of i<strong>on</strong>ic strength <strong>on</strong> the <str<strong>on</strong>g>adsorpti<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> edge although suggestive, is notc<strong>on</strong>crete. N<strong>on</strong>specific <str<strong>on</strong>g>adsorpti<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> of cati<strong>on</strong>s (such as alkali cati<strong>on</strong>s) is dependent <strong>on</strong> i<strong>on</strong>icstrength, where specific <str<strong>on</strong>g>adsorpti<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> is typically absent i<strong>on</strong>ic strength effects (Cornell <strong>and</strong>Schwertmann, 1996). Hayes <strong>and</strong> Leckie (1987) observed little i<strong>on</strong>ic strength (IS = 102-100) effect <strong>on</strong> Pb <strong>and</strong> Cd <str<strong>on</strong>g>adsorpti<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong> goethite, the results were best modeled as aninner-sphere surface reacti<strong>on</strong>. In modeling, the absence or presence of an i<strong>on</strong>ic strengtheffect <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>metal</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>adsorpti<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> is usually interpreted as inner-sphere or outer-sphere<str<strong>on</strong>g>adsorpti<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g>, respectively. Additi<strong>on</strong>ally, cati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>adsorpti<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> is often accompanied by prot<strong>on</strong>release. The number in the past has been attributed to m<strong>on</strong><strong>on</strong>uclear or binuclearcomplexes <strong>and</strong> typically restricted to <strong>on</strong>e or two (Cornell <strong>and</strong> Schwertmann, 1996).Intermediate values (Forbes et al. 1976; Hayes <strong>and</strong> Leckie, 1986; Müner <strong>and</strong> Sigg, 1992;Ko<strong>on</strong>er, 1993; Gunneriuss<strong>on</strong> et al. 1994; Trainor et al. 2000) may be caused byhydrolysis of the cati<strong>on</strong> <strong>and</strong>/or occurrence of two types of sites or surface species(Cornell <strong>and</strong> Schwertmann, 1996). Benjamin <strong>and</strong> Leckie (1981a) observed 3.2 prot<strong>on</strong>s
