In the presence of VERY high concentration (1000 ppm) of silicon, the adsorption isotherms of arsenic are showing anomalous trends, why so?

I conducted an adsorption experiment of arsenic on soil in the presence of different doses of silicon as competing ions to see the effect of silicon on arsenic adsorption and desorption. I took 5...
