Sorption of the platinum-group elements in selected solid matrices

Recent research on the platinum-group elements (PGE) has shown increased concentrations in environmental samples, probably as a result of the widespread use of PGE (Pt, Pd and Rh in particular) as catalysts in the chemical and car industry. Most of the recent research on PGE focuses on the analysis of concentrations in environmental samples exposed to anthropogenic sources of PGE, but there are very few studies that have investigated sorption behaviour of PGE in soils.
