Surface complexation modeling of Hg(II) adsorption at the goethite/water interface using the Charge Distribution Multi-Site Complexation (CD-MUSIC) model

- Surface complexation model developed for predicting Hg(II) adsorption onto goethite.
- New method developed for describing a goethite sample's surface heterogeneity.
- Developed approach to quantify carbonate contamination in solid-solution systems.
- Model proved capable of predicting Hg(II) adsorption over all conditions tested.
