Humic substances (HS) are macromolecular products derived from a physical, chemical, and microbiological process called humification. These substances play an important role in the mobility and bioavailability of nutrients and contaminants in the environment. Adsorption isotherms provide a macroscopic view of the retention phenomena. However, complementary techniques are needed in order to study the retention mechanism. The application of the classical models and some modem ones, based on humic substances chemistry, do not accurately describe these adsorption data. The aim of this paper is to model isotherms and combine adsorption data with spectroscopy and microscopy techniques to study the Cu(II) retention on a HS. The adsorption isotherms shape varies significantly with the solution pH from L-type (pH 2-6) to S-type (pH 8). FTIR shows that, when pH is 2 the retention of Cu(II), as [Cu(H2O)(6)](2+), is the preferred retention mechanism. The quantity of Cu(II) retained as [Cu(OH)(H2O)(6)](+) rises, as pH increases. At pH 4, Cu(II) begins to precipitate, which is the preferred mechanism at pH 8.02. The presence of HS has a great influence on the precipitation process of Cu(II), giving rise to amorphous precipitates. As it is shown by SEM-XRF, Cu(II) distributes heterogeneously on HS surface and accumulates on the humic phases. The presence of different anions (chloride and nitrate) slightly modifies the HS behavior as cation exchanger. When Cl ions are present, part of the Cu(II) form [CuCl4](2-) which, is stable in solution due to its negative charge; when the anion present is NO3- the formed complex, [CuNO3](+), is retained on the HS.
