Abstract Acid drainage is an important water quality issue in Andean watersheds, affecting the sustainability of urban, agricultural, and industrial activities. Mixing zones receiving acid are critical sites where changes pH chemical environment promote formation dissolution iron aluminum oxy/hydroxides. These particles can significantly change speciation toxic metals metalloids throughout networks via sorption, desorption, settling processes. However, little known about behavior particle...
