ADSORPTION-DESORPTION OF TRACE ELEMENTS IN SEDIMENTS OF THE MAIPO RIVER BASIN

ABSTRACT We studied the adsorption-desorption of Cu, Mn, Pb and Zn in Maipo river basin, one of the most perturbed rivers in Chile, and thus determined its tolerance to the addition of these metals into the sediments and the possibility of transferring the metals from the sediments to the water colu...
