Abstract
In this study, the relative performance of two soils - after amending them with suitable matrices in retaining the heavy metal ions - has been evaluated. Al-Ghat soil and Al-Qatif soil of Saudi Arabia were mixed with different percentages of lime. Heavy metal ions (such as copper and chromium) were used to carry out sorption studies. Experimental data was used to plot adsorption isotherms. Langmuir isotherm was found to be more suitable than Freundlich isotherm for all soil mixtures. It can be concluded that Al-Qatif soil lime mixture can be used as a filter material and Al-Ghat soil lime mixture as the main liner material to attenuate selected heavy metals.
