The influence of humate formation on the adsorption of various ions on kaolinite and amorphous silica was studied using the multitracer technique, i.e., the simultaneous application of a variety of radioactive tracers. The technique simultaneously provided the solid-aqueous distributions of 32 elements, namely, Be, Na, Sc, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Zn, Ga, As, Se, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Tc, Ru, Rh, Ag, Te, Ba, Ce, Pm, Eu, Gd, Tm, Yb, Lu, Hf, Re, and Pt, in the absence and presence of humic acid. Speciation calculations under experimental conditions were also conducted for 19 elements among them, using the previous results on the stability constants of their humate complexes. Comparison of the pH dependencies of each element and humic acid dissolved in the aqueous phase enabled the authors to evaluate the interaction between them. With the aid of the speciation calculation, the authors discussed the predominant species that would control the environmental behavior of each ion. Among the elements studied, it was suggested that humate formation greatly affects the behavior of rare earth elements, which would indicate that the environmental behavior of these ions is influenced by humic substances.
