Chemical analysis for specific redox couples is especially useful in studies of groundwaters contaminated by waste disposal, where redox gradients are often steep, and the fate of redox-sensitive contaminants may be rate dependent or otherwise unpredictable. In such a study of sewage-contaminated groundwaters, Kent et al. (1994) found that reduction of O2, Cr(VI), and Se(VI) did not occur, although it was thermodynamically favored. They concluded that the disequilbrium resulted from unfavorable microbial conditions and heterogeneity of groundwater flow.

Sorption of Mo(VI) in these experiments can be described by the Freundlich isotherm. Freundlich constants for sorption from sewage-contaminated ground water were calculated from a linear plot of the concentration of Mo(VI) sorbed by sediment in each column compared to input concentration (Figure 1) using the following equation ...
