Abstract
The aging of freshly precipitated and immediately saturated with a sorbate (Cu(II), Ni(II), Cr(III), Pb(II) and Cd(II) cations) oxyhydroxides of Fe(III), Cr(III), Al(III), Zr(III) and Ti(IV) in 0.25 M solution of NaCl at room temperature is studied. It is established that the aging is accompanied by spontaneous acidification of the oxyhydroxide suspension and by partial desorption of the sorbate, which is to the highest extent exhibited with aluminium oxyhydroxide with Cd sorbed, and by the lowest extent with
