The adsorption of humic acid to mineral particles can be characterized by specific and electrostatic interactions and by polydispersity effects. In this paper we focus on the adsorbed amount and discuss the importance of specific and electrostatic interactions. The adsorption of purified Aldrich humic acid onto hematite has been measured as a function of pH and salt concentration as well as in the presence of two cadmium concentrations. Besides the adsorbed amount, the thickness of the adsorbed layer has also been studied. The experimental results are discussed in relation to the polyelectrolyte behavior of the humic acid. At high pH and low salt concentration the adsorption is low and the humic acid molecules are adsorbed relatively flat on the surface. At low pH and high salt concentration a substantial fraction of the adsorbed humic acid is not in direct contact with the surface, which results in a relatively high adsorbed amount and a large layer thickness. PAHA adsorption at not too low pH leads to a...
