Fig. 7. Effect of CaCl2 as electrolyte on the sorption of selected pesticides by quartz, calcite, {alpha}-alumina, and kaolinite. The solution conditions are: temperature = 10°C, pH (quartz) = 6.7 ± 0.1, pH (calcite) = 8.8 ± 0.1, pH ({alpha}-alumina) = 7.0 ± 0.1, pH (kaolinite with CaCl2) = 5.9 ± 0.1, and pH (kaolinite without CaCl2) = 6.5. Error bars indicate standard deviation.
