First sentence: Adsorption reactions influence three important processes within the scope of aquatic chemistry: (1) the distribution of elements between the aqueous phase and particulate matter, which affects their transport through the hydrogeosphere; (2) the electrostatic properties of suspended particles, which affect their aggregation and transport; (3) reactivity at surfaces, including dissolution, precipitation, and surface-catalyzed reactions of solutes.
