The adsorption of SeO 3 on CaCO 3 (s) was evaluated in equilibrium CaCO 3 (aq) suspensions over a range in pH and SeO 3 concentration in the absence and presence of the cosolutes, Mg, SO 4 , and PO 4 . Selenite was adsorbed by CaCO 3 (s) in a manner consistent with its exchange on anionic specific surface sites saturated with CO 3 2- /HCO 3 - that were quantified by H 14 CO 3 isotopic exchange. This exchange process was described very well using the computer program FITEQL and half-reactions for the surface exchange of HCO - 3 , CO 3 - , HSeO 3 - , and SeO 3 2- . The cosolutes SO 4 and PO 4 decreased SeO 3 sorption by direct competition or site blockage, and these effects were also predicted using the surface exchange model. By contrast, the sorption of SeO 3 was not influenced by Mg because the two ions sorbed over different pH regions and exchanged with different surface sites that appeared to be distinct and noninteractive. Evaluation of SeO 3 sorption over a wide concentration range suggested that the surface of CaCO 3 (s) was heterogeneous and that SeO 3 had access to less than 5% of the total anion specific surface sites.
