17mole Cu g-1 goethite (-1-7% of the total sites), between —10 -5 <strong>and</strong> —10 -4.3 Cu g-1goethite (-3-30% of the total sites), <strong>and</strong> above —10 -4.3 mole Cu g -1 goethite. Similartrends for isotherms were found in other studies <strong>on</strong> Cd/HFO (Dzombak <strong>and</strong> Morel, 1986;Spadini et al. 2003), Cr/HFO (Charlet <strong>and</strong> Manceau, 1992), Zn/HFO (Kinniburgh <strong>and</strong>Jacks<strong>on</strong>, 1982), <strong>and</strong> Co/Al2O3 (Katz <strong>and</strong> Hayes, 1995a). Homogeneous precipitati<strong>on</strong>may occur if the <str<strong>on</strong>g>metal</str<strong>on</strong>g> i<strong>on</strong> is supersaturated resulting in an abrupt increase in theisotherm slope (Hayes <strong>and</strong> Katz, 1996). Gradual increases in the slope at high <str<strong>on</strong>g>metal</str<strong>on</strong>g>c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>s were modeled as surface polymers or surface precipitati<strong>on</strong> (Katz <strong>and</strong>Hayes, 1995b; Dzombak <strong>and</strong> Morel, 1986; Charlet <strong>and</strong> Manceau, 1992) <strong>and</strong> have beensupported by XAS for Cr/HFO system (Charlet <strong>and</strong> Manceau, 1992). Similar features inCd/goethite isotherm (Roberts<strong>on</strong> <strong>and</strong> Leckie, 1998) were successfully modeled using thetriple layer model assuming several surface species. Based <strong>on</strong> wet chemical,spectroscopic, <strong>and</strong> crystallographic c<strong>on</strong>siderati<strong>on</strong>s, Spadini et al. (2003) proposed a lowaffinitysite for modeling isotherms at high surface coverage.Although many studies have been c<strong>on</strong>ducted with single sorbate systems, <str<strong>on</strong>g>metal</str<strong>on</strong>g>i<strong>on</strong>s may co-exist in the envir<strong>on</strong>ment resulting in competiti<strong>on</strong>, which is discussed in thefollowing secti<strong>on</strong>.2.2.3 Competiti<strong>on</strong> StudiesMany researchers have investigated competiti<strong>on</strong>, for example, Gadde <strong>and</strong> Laitinen (1974)c<strong>on</strong>cluded that Pb sorbed more str<strong>on</strong>gly than other i<strong>on</strong>s, Zn, Cd, <strong>and</strong> Ti, <strong>on</strong> HFO <strong>and</strong>HMO. Adsorpti<strong>on</strong> of trace <str<strong>on</strong>g>metal</str<strong>on</strong>g>s (Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, <strong>and</strong> Cd) tends to be suppressed byhigh levels of weakly adsorbing alkaline earth i<strong>on</strong>s (Balistrieri <strong>and</strong> Murray, 1982; Cowanet al. 1991; Trivedi et al. 2001b). Christophi <strong>and</strong> Axe (2000) observed that goethite has a
