Abstract
The extent to which Cu (II) species are removed from aqueous solution by kaolinite clay suspensions has been shown to vary with solution pH, the nature of any ligands present, and the order of contact of the :species. The ability of kaolin type clays to sorb both anions and cations introduces some unexpected effects, and raises some interesting queries in regard to the release of Cu from clay soils and stream sediments.
