The presence of humic acid in soil decreases the adsorption of Pb2＋ onto the soil at solution pH of 8 since the negatively charged humic acid with Pb2＋ is difficult to be adsorbed on the negatively charged soil surface. The adsorption of Pb2＋ onto the soil also decreases in the presence of Cu2＋ due to file competition adsorption between Pb2＋ and Cu2＋.展开更多
