Effects of Cu(II) on the Adsorption Behaviors of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) onto Kaolin by Juanjuan Liu, Xiaolong Wu, Yandi Hu, Chong Dai, Qin Peng, Dongli Liang

“…Comparing the adsorption behaviors and mechanisms, we found that kaolin prefers to adsorb hydrolyzed products of Cr(III) instead of Cr3+ ion, while adsorption sites of kaolin surface were occupied primarily by Cu(II) through surface complexation, leading to Cu(II) inhibited Cr(VI) adsorption. …”
