Organic pollutant oxidation on manganese oxides in soils – the role of calcite indicated by geoelectrical and chemical analyses by S. S. Altzitser, Y. G. Mishael, N. Schwartz

“…Furthermore, dynamic shifts in the soil solution chemistry (changes in the calcium and manganese concentrations, pH, and electrical conductivity (EC)) correlated with the non-monotonous behavior of the in-phase conductivity. Our findings conclusively demonstrate that the noninvasive electrical method allows real-time monitoring of calcite dissolution, serving as a direct cursor to the oxidation process of hydroquinone and enabling the observation of chemical interactions in soil solution and on soil particle surfaces.…”
