Fig. 4. Results of the retention tests in the stirred-flow chamber. Observed breakthrough curves (BTCs) (symbols) obtained: (a) with no soil; (b) displacement of Ca+2 and pH variation during Cu+2 retention in Amph1; and (c) and (d), respectively, Amph1 and Gra1 at a variable flow rate under the same conditions. Lines represent the BTCs calculated by using the first-order model.

Fig. 7. Experimental BTCs (symbols) obtained following application of three successive pulses to soil Amph2 in the retention step. Jw = 0.56 mL min–1. Cin = 0.0787 mM. Lines represent the first-order model. The BTC for the fourth pulse has been omitted for clarity as it overlapped with that for the third.
