Arsenic adsorption onto aluminium-substituted goethite

Environmental contextGoethite, commonly found in soils, is often partially substituted by Al and strongly influences the mobility of arsenic in the environment. The adsorption of AsV onto goethites with increasing Al substitution was explored, finding that Al incorporation decreases AsV sorption per...
