unique set of parameters was found for each <str<strong>on</strong>g>metal</str<strong>on</strong>g> i<strong>on</strong> that can successfully describe<str<strong>on</strong>g>adsorpti<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> over a large range of experimental c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s, covering six or seven orders ofmagnitude in c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>, i<strong>on</strong>ic strength from 10 -3 to 10-2, <strong>and</strong> an envir<strong>on</strong>mentallyrelevant pH range. Competiti<strong>on</strong> was also predicted quantitatively with parameterscalibrated using single adsorbate data. Results of this work will assist in betterunderst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>and</strong> predicting the mobility <strong>and</strong> bioavailability of trace <str<strong>on</strong>g>metal</str<strong>on</strong>g>s in soils,sediments, <strong>and</strong> groundwater.
