Fig. 1. Effluent turbidity during injection of 10 mg L–1 As(III) in 0.01 M NaCl followed by leaching with deionized water (DIW) for the Olivier and Windsor soil columns. Arrows indicate pore volumes when flow interruptions occurred.
Fig. 2. Effluent pH during injection of 10 mg L–1 As(III) in 0.01 M NaCl followed by leaching with deionized water (DIW) for the Olivier and Windsor soil columns. Arrows indicate pore volumes when flow interruptions occurred.
Fig. 3. Effluent electrical conductivity (EC) during injection of 10 mg L–1 As(III) in 0.01 M NaCl followed by leaching with deionized water (DIW) for the Olivier and Windsor soil columns. Arrows indicate pore volumes when flow interruptions occurred.
Fig. 4. Breakthrough curves (BTC) of total (<20 µm) and dissolved (<0.2 µm) arsenic for the Olivier and Windsor soil columns. Arrows indicate pore volumes when flow interruptions or leaching with deionized water (DIW) occurred.
Fig. 5. The percentage recoveries of arsenic from different soil column depths. Agents used for extractions were: exchangeable (1 M MaCl2), strongly sorbed (1 M NaH2PO4), precipitated (0.2 M ammonium oxalate), and recalcitrant (16 M HNO3).
Fig. 7. Mobilization of total (<20 µm) and dissolved (<0.2 µm) iron fractions from the Olivier and Windsor soil columns. Arrows indicate pore volumes when flow interruptions or leaching with deionized water (DIW) occurred.
