Abstract
In the clay fraction of soils, (hydr)oxides of Fe, Al and Mn are common. These hydroxides may differ considerably in particle size, purity, and crystallinity from the ‘model (hydr)oxides’ used frequently in laboratory studies. They may occur as discrete particles, having hardly any contact with the clay surface, and as coatings on, or as interlayers between clay mineral surfaces. Jenne (1968) suggested that the reactivity of hydroxide coatings would be considerably higher than the reactivity of free hydroxides, especially with respect to heavy metal adsorption. Since then, several authors have investigated the effect of the removal of hydroxides from soil clays on heavy metal adsorption, but their results are not unambiguous.
