Sorptive stabilization and fractionation of dissolved organic matter by Al and Fe oxyhydroxide-rich water treatment residuals
, model's "b" value and desorption data indicated weaker sorption and unstable Fe complexes. Al-WTR appeared as a more effective adsorbent for enhancing DOC stabilization. These results suggest that Al-WTR is a more effective material for DOC stabilization. Its sorptive potential could enhance carbon storage thus increasing the potential for carbon sequestration when used in natural systems.
