Abstract
The term “adsorption” represents the accumu-lation of dissolved species on mineral surfaces or the re-moval of dissolved species on existing minerals. When the minerals are added to the solutions with trace elements,certain amounts of trace elements are removed by the min-erals while rests of trace elements are remained in the so-lutions. Researchers, who are interested in the adsorption of trace metals on minerals, desire to understand and pre-dict the adsorption behavior, quantitatively. In this paper, I review the methodologies to model the adsorption behav-iors.
