Abstract

Effect of pH phosphate adsorption by different soils was studied by varying the pH of supporting electrolytes NaCl and CaCl₂. Variation in pH of NaCl did not markedly affect adsorption in all the soils. On the other hand, it decreased with pH 4 to 6 and abruptly increased above pH 7.0 when CaCl₂ was used supporting electrolyte.
