CO2-induced release of copper and zinc from model soil in water

The eventual leakage of CO2 from storage sites into shallow aquifers may degrade the quality of potable groundwater, due to acidification caused by the intrusion of gas CO2. Experiments in continuous-stirred tank reactors (CSTRs) seems to be a fast and cost-effective way to quantify the kinetics of heavy metal release from soil material to groundwater. The goal of the present work is to evaluate the capability of a model to provide reliable...
