Formate ions, introduction into precipitation

Introduction of Formate and Acetate Ions into Precipitation Assessment of Possible Pathways... 

The introduction of Cd to the soil and its initial solubilization is followed by a cascade of reactions with soil components which normally leads to the formation of progressively less soluble forms [43], For example, Cd can be incorporated into minerals or bound to soil surfaces through absorption, co-precipitation, ion exchange, and complexation reactions. Most importantly, and particularly for Cd, is the fact that mobility decreases only very slowly with decades of time required for complete equilibration of deposited Cd with the soil soUd phases [43-46].
