Readily dispersible clay and its role in the mobility of transition metals Cd super(2+), Cu super(2+) and Zn super(2+) in an alkaline alluvial soil

Readily dispersible clay is the part of the clay fraction in soils that potentially disperses in water when a small amount of mechanical energy is applied to soil. Column and batch experiments were conducted to identify the effect of readily dispersible clay on the mobility of some metal ions in a disturbed soil sample. The clay fraction (
