Sorption, fixation and desorption kinetics of Cd2+ on calcium-exchanged zeolite-X were studied using an isotopic dilution technique utilizing 109Cd. The technique provided reliable measurements of time-dependent fixation of Cd and was validated using chabazite, which demonstrated wholly reversible Cd2+ ion exchange. A first-order kinetic model was developed to describe the progressive transfer of Cd2+ to a less reactive form in X-zeolite, following initial sorption, and subsequent desorption of Cd subject to different initial contact times. The kinetic model differentiates between two ‘pools’ of sorbed Cd2+ on zeolite-X, designated labile and non-labile sorbed Cd in which the labile sorbed Cd is in immediate equilibrium with the free Cd2+ ion activity in solution. Additionally, an intra-particle diffusion model was developed and compared with the kinetic model to determine whether time-dependent Cd sorption is controlled by reaction kinetics or diffusion within zeolite particles. The kinetic model provided a much better fit to the experimental data (R2 = 0.987) than the diffusion model. The rate constants describing Cd dynamics in CaX zeolite gave a half-time for Cd desorption of ∼77 d, for release to a ‘zero-sink’.  相似文献

Mineral-associated organic matter (OM) represents a large reservoir of organic carbon (OC) in natural environments. The factors controlling the extent of the mineral-mediated OC stabilization, however, are poorly understood. The protection of OM against biodegradation upon sorption to mineral phases is assumed to result from the formation of strong bonds that limit desorption. To test this, we studied the biodegradation of OM bound to goethite (α-FeOOH), pyrophyllite, and vermiculite via specific mechanisms as estimated from OC uptake in different background electrolytes and operationally defined as ‘ligand exchange’, ‘Ca2+ bridging’, and ‘van der Waals forces’. Organic matter extracted from an Oa forest floor horizon under Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst) was reacted with minerals at dissolved OC concentrations of ∼5-130 mg/L at pH 4. Goethite retained up to 30.1 mg OC/g predominantly by ‘ligand exchange’; pyrophyllite sorbed maximally 12.5 mg OC/g, largely via ‘van der Waals forces’ and ‘Ca2+ bridging’, while sorption of OM to vermiculite was 7.3 mg OC/g, mainly due to the formation of ‘Ca2+ bridges’. Aromatic OM components were selectively sorbed by all minerals (goethite ? phyllosilicates). The sorption of OM was strongly hysteretic with the desorption into 0.01 M NaCl being larger for OM held by ‘Ca2+ bridges’ and ‘van der Waals forces’ than by ‘ligand exchange’. Incubation experiments under aerobic conditions (initial pH 4; 90 days) revealed that OM mainly bound to minerals by ‘ligand exchange’ was more resistant against mineralization than OM held by non-columbic interactions (‘van der Waals forces’). Calcium bridges enhanced the stability of sorbed OM, especially for vermiculite, but less than the binding via ‘ligand exchange’. Combined evidence suggests that the extent and rate of mineralization of mineral-associated OM are governed by desorption. The intrinsic stability of sorbed OM as related to the presence of resistant, lignin-derived aromatic components appears less decisive for the sorptive stabilization of OM than the involved binding mechanisms. In a given environment, the type of minerals present and the solution chemistry determine the operating binding mechanisms, thereby the extent of OM sorption and desorption, and thus ultimately the bioavailability of mineral-associated OM.  相似文献

The effect of prolonged contact time (up to 130 days) on the immobilization of Cd by sorption to calcium exchanged zeolite-X (CaX), under environmentally relevant conditions, was studied using both isotopic exchange and extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (EXAFS). Sorption and isotopic exchange measurements revealed time-dependent Cd sorption and indicated the movement of Cd2+ ions into less accessible sites due to ageing. EXAFS suggested progressive fixation of Cd in the double six-ring (D6R) unit of the CaX structure. Proportional allocation of the apparent Cd-Si bond distance to two ‘end-members’, across all contact times, indicated that the bond distance for labile Cd was 3.41 Å and for non-labile (or fixed) Cd was 3.47 Å.  相似文献

Aqueous cadmium uptake by calcite: a stirred flow-through reactor study   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
Uptake of cadmium ions from solution by a natural Mg-containing calcite was investigated in stirred flow-through reactor experiments. Input NaCl solutions were pre-equilibrated with calcite (pH 8.0) or not (pH 6.0), prior to being spiked with CdCl2. For water residence times in the reactor less than 0.5 h, irreversible uptake of Cd by diffusion into the bulk crystal had a minor effect on the measured cadmium breakthrough curves, hence allowing us to quantify “fast” Cd2+ adsorption. At equal aqueous activities of Cd2+, adsorption was systematically lower for the pre-equilibrated input solutions. The effect of variable solution composition on Cd2+ adsorption was reproduced by a Ca2+-Cd2+ cation exchange model and by a surface complexation model for the calcite-aqueous solution interface. For the range of experimental conditions tested, the latter model predicted binding of aqueous Ca2+ and Cd2+ to the same population of carbonate surface sites. Under these circumstances, both adsorption models were equivalent. Desorption released 80 to 100% of sorbed cadmium, confirming that fast uptake of Cd2+ was mainly due to binding at surface sites. Slow, irreversible cadmium uptake by the solid phase was measured in flow-through reactor experiments with water residence times exceeding 0.7 h. The process exhibited first-order kinetics with respect to the concentration of adsorbed Cd2+, with a linear rate constant at 25°C of 0.03 h−1. Assuming that diffusion into the calcite lattice was the mechanism of slow uptake, a Cd2+ solid-state diffusion coefficient of 8.5×10−21 cm2 s−1 was calculated. Adsorbed Cd2+ had a pronounced effect on the dissolution kinetics of calcite. At maximum Cd2+ surface coverage (∼10−5 mol m−2), the calcite dissolution rate was 75% slower than measured under initially cadmium-free conditions. Upon desorption of cadmium, the dissolution rate increased again but remained below its initial value. Thus, the calcite surface structure and reactivity retained a memory of the adsorbed Cd2+ cations after their removal.  相似文献

Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic trace element and due to human activities soils and waters are contaminated by Cd both on a local and global scale. It is widely accepted that chemical interactions with functional groups of natural organic matter (NOM) is vital for the bioavailability and mobility of trace elements. In this study the binding strength of cadmium (Cd) to soil organic matter (SOM) was determined in an organic (49% organic C) soil as a function of reaction time, pH and Cd concentration. In experiments conducted at native Cd concentrations in soil (0.23 μg g−1 dry soil), halides (Cl, Br) were used as competing ligands to functional groups in SOM. The concentration of Cd in the aqueous phase was determined by isotope-dilution (ID) inductively-coupled-plasma-mass-spectrometry (ICP-MS), and the activity of Cd2+ was calculated from the well-established Cd-halide constants. At higher Cd loading (500-54,000 μg g−1), the Cd2+ activity was directly determined by an ion-selective electrode (ISE). On the basis of results from extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy, a model with one thiolate group (RS−) was used to describe the complexation (Cd2+ + RS− ? CdSR+; log KCdSR) at native Cd concentrations. The concentration of thiols (RSH; 0.047 mol kg−1 C) was independently determined by X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy. Log KCdSR values of 11.2-11.6 (pKa for RSH = 9.96), determined in the pH range 3.1-4.6, compare favorably with stability constants for the association between Cd and well-defined thiolates like glutathione. In the concentration range 500-54,000 μg Cd g−1, a model consisting of one thiolate and one carboxylate (RCOO−) gave the best fit to data, indicating an increasing role for RCOOH groups as RSH groups become saturated. The determined log KCdOOCR of 3.2 (Cd2+ +  RCOO− ? CdOOCR+; log KCdOOCR; pKa for RCOOH = 4.5) is in accordance with stability constants determined for the association between Cd and well-defined carboxylates. Given a concentration of reduced sulfur groups of 0.2% or higher in NOM, we conclude that the complexation to organic RSH groups may control the speciation of Cd in soils, and most likely also in surface waters, with a total concentration less than 5 mg Cd g−1 organic C.  相似文献

Various sorption phenomena, such as aging, hysteresis and irreversible sorption, can cause differences between contaminant (ad)sorption and desorption behavior and lead to apparent sorption ‘asymmetry’. We evaluate the relevance of these characteristics for neptunium(V) (Np(V)) sorption/desorption on goethite using a 34-day flow-cell experiment and kinetic modeling. Based on experimental results, the Np(V) desorption rate is much slower than the (ad)sorption rate, and appears to decrease over the course of the experiment. The best model fit with a minimum number of fitting parameters was achieved with a multi-reaction model including (1) an equilibrium Freundlich site (site 1), (2) a kinetically-controlled, consecutive, first-order site (site 2), and (3) a parameter ψ2,de, which characterizes the desorption rate on site 2 based on a concept related to transition state theory (TST). This approach allows us to link differences in adsorption and desorption kinetics to changes in overall reaction pathways, without assuming different adsorption and desorption affinities (hysteresis) or irreversible sorption behavior a priori. Using modeling as a heuristic tool, we determined that aging processes are relevant. However, hysteresis and irreversible sorption behavior can be neglected within the time-frame (desorption over 32 days) and chemical solution conditions evaluated in the flow-cell experiment. In this system, desorption reactions are very slow, but they are not irreversible. Hence, our data do not justify an assumption of irreversible Np(V) sorption to goethite in transport models, which effectively limits the relevance of colloid-facilitated Np(V) transport to near-field environments. However, slow Np(V) desorption behavior may also lead to a continuous contaminant source term when metals are sorbed to bulk mineral phases. Additional long-term experiments are recommended to definitely rule out irreversible Np(V) sorption behavior at very low surface loadings and environmentally-relevant time-scales.  相似文献

To assess the competitive sorption and desorption of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb), batch equilibrium experiments were performed using single- and binary-metal solutions in surface samples of three paddy soils from eastern China. Sorption isotherms were well fitted with one-metal and competitive Langmuir equation for single- and binary-metal system, respectively. The distribution coefficient (K d) values were K d single (Pb) > K d binary (Pb) > K d single (Cd) > K d binary (Cd), indicating that Pb was stronger sorbed by these soils than Cd in binary metal system. Soils with high pH and clay content had the greatest sorption capacity as estimated by the maximum sorption parameter (Q). The co-existence of both metals reduces their tendency of sorption, whereas Cd sorption was affected to a greater extent than that of Pb. The Langmuir binding strength parameter (b) in binary sorption system was greater than that in single sorption system for all soils (b < b 1), indicating that competition for sorption sites promote the retention of both metals into more specific sorption sites. Sorption of Cd and Pb decreased soil pH by 1.61 U for YRS, 1.39 U for PCS, and 0.91 U for SLS. The decreases of pH in binary metal system were greater than in single-metal system for three soils. Cadmium and Pb desorption increased with increasing Cd and Pb sorption saturation for all soils; however, Cd desorption ratio in binary metal system (d Cd*) was much greater than Pb (d Pb*), indicating that under the competitive sorption conditions, the sorbed Cd was more readily desorbed from the soils than the sorbed Pb.  相似文献

Sorption of Ni(II) onto chlorite surfaces was studied as a function of pH (5–10), ionic strength (0.01–0.5 M) and Ni concentration (10−8–10−6 M) in an Ar atmosphere using batch sorption with radioactive 63Ni as tracer. Such studies are important since Ni(II) is one of the major activation products in spent nuclear fuel and sorption data on minerals such as chlorite are lacking. The sorption of Ni(II) onto chlorite was dependent on pH but not ionic strength, which indicates that the process primarily comprises sorption by surface complexation. The maximum sorption was at pH ∼ 8 (Kd = ∼10−3 cm3/g). Desorption studies over a period of 1–2 weeks involving replacement of the aqueous solution indicated a low degree of desorption. The acid–base properties of the chlorite mineral were determined by titration and described using a non-electrostatic surface complexation model in FITEQL. A 2-pK NEM model and three surface complexes, Chl_OHNi2+, Chl_OHNi(OH)+ and Chl_OHNi(OH)2, gave the best fit to the sorption results using FITEQL. The high Kd values and low degree of desorption observed indicate that under expected groundwater conditions, a large fraction of Ni(II) that is potentially leachable from spent nuclear fuel may be prevented from migrating by sorption onto chlorite surfaces.  相似文献

The adsorption of phosphate onto calcite was studied in a series of batch experiments. To avoid the precipitation of phosphate-containing minerals the experiments were conducted using a short reaction time (3 h) and low concentrations of phosphate (?50 μM). Sorption of phosphate on calcite was studied in 11 different calcite-equilibrated solutions that varied in pH, PCO2, ionic strength and activity of Ca2+, and . Our results show strong sorption of phosphate onto calcite. The kinetics of phosphate sorption onto calcite are fast; adsorption is complete within 2-3 h while desorption is complete in less than 0.5 h. The reversibility of the sorption process indicates that phosphate is not incorporated into the calcite crystal lattice under our experimental conditions. Precipitation of phosphate-containing phases does not seem to take place in systems with ?50 μM total phosphate, in spite of a high degree of super-saturation with respect to hydroxyapatite (SIHAP ? 7.83). The amount of phosphate adsorbed varied with the solution composition, in particular, adsorption increases as the activity decreases (at constant pH) and as pH increases (at constant activity). The primary effect of ionic strength on phosphate sorption onto calcite is its influence on the activity of the different aqueous phosphate species. The experimental results were modeled satisfactorily using the constant capacitance model with >CaPO4Ca0 and either >CaHPO4Ca+ or > as the adsorbed surface species. Generally the model captures the variation in phosphate adsorption onto calcite as a function of solution composition, though it was necessary to include two types of sorption sites (strong and weak) in the model to reproduce the convex shape of the sorption isotherms.  相似文献

In order to characterize and quantify the substitution of Ca(II) by Cm(III) (coordination, charge compensation), homogeneous Cm(III) coprecipitated calcite was synthesized in a mixed-flow-through experiment. Two sets of experiments were conducted at pH 8.1 and at pH 12.5.At pH 8.1 two calcites, a calcite with a low Cm3+ concentration (LCMpH8.1) and a calcite with a high M3+ (Gd3+ and Cm3+) concentration (HCMpH8.1) were grown and investigated by time resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy. The Cm(III) emission spectra of LCMpH8.1 and HCMpH8.1 show the same Cm(III) fluorescence signals for two Cm(III) species; Cm(III) species (1) with a peak maximum at 606.2 nm and Cm(III) species (2) with a peak maximum at 620.3 nm. Cm(III) species (1) has a mean lifetime of τ = 386 ± 40 μs and Cm(III) species (2) has a mean lifetime of τ = 1874 ± 200 μs. A lifetime of 386 μs correlates with 1.3 water molecule in the first coordination sphere of the Cm ion whereas a lifetime of 1874 μs indicates the total loss of the Cm(III) hydration sphere. According to the fluorescence emission peak position and the fluorescence emission lifetime, Cm(III) species (1) is identified as a surface sorbed species whereas Cm(III) species (2) is identified as a Cm(III) incorporated into the calcite lattice.Cm(III) fluorescence emission spectra of Cm(III) doped calcite grown at pH 12.5 (LCMpH12.5) show the same peak maxima which are found for LCMpH8.1 and HCMpH8.1 grown at pH 8.1 but an additional emission band at 608.2 nm (3) is found, which can be assigned to a further Cm(III) species. Fluorescence emission lifetime measurements show that this Cm(III) species (3) has a lifetime of τ = 477 ± 25 μs, which correlates with 0.9 water molecules in the first coordination sphere. Cm(III) species (3) is suggested to be a CmOH2+ incorporated species.  相似文献

Sorptive stabilization of organic matter by amorphous Al hydroxide   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  
Amorphous Al hydroxides (am-Al(OH)3) strongly sorb and by this means likely protect dissolved organic matter (OM) against microbial decay in soils. We carried out batch sorption experiments (pH 4.5; 40 mg organic C L−1) with OM extracted from organic horizons under a Norway spruce and a European beech forest. The stabilization of OM by sorption was analyzed by comparing the CO2 mineralized during the incubation of sorbed and non-sorbed OM. The mineralization of OM was evaluated based in terms of (i) the availability of the am-Al(OH)3, thus surface OM loadings, (ii) spectral properties of OM, and (iii) the presence of phosphate as a competitor for OM. This was done by varying the solid-to-solution ratio (SSR = 0.02-1.2 g L−1) during sorption. At low SSRs, hence limited am-Al(OH)3 availability, only small portions of dissolved OM were sorbed; for OM from Oa horizons, the mineralization of the sorbed fraction exceeded that of the original dissolved OM. The likely reason is competition with phosphate for sorption sites favouring the formation of weak mineral-organic bindings and the surface accumulation of N-rich, less aromatic and less complex OM. This small fraction controlled the mineralization of sorbed OM even at higher SSRs. At higher SSRs, i.e., with am-Al(OH)3 more available, competition of phosphate decreased and aromatic compounds were sorbed selectively, which resulted in pronounced resistance of sorbed OM against decay. The combined OC mineralization of sorbed and non-sorbed OM was 12-65% less than that of the original DOM. Sorbed OM contributed only little to the overall OC mineralization. Stabilization of OC increased in direct proportion to am-Al(OH)3 availability, despite constant aromatic C (∼30%). The strong stabilization at higher mineral availability is primarily governed by strong Al-OM bonds formed under less competitive conditions. Due to these strong bonds and the resulting strong stabilization, the surface loading, a proxy for the mineral’s occupation by OM, was not a factor in the mineralization of sorbed OM over a wide range of C sorption (0.2-1.1 mg C m−2). This study demonstrates that sorption to am-Al(OH)3 results in stabilization of OM. The mineral availability as well as the inorganic solution chemistry control sorptive interactions, thereby the properties of sorbed OM, and the stability of OM against microbial decay.  相似文献

Removal of Lead,Copper, Zinc and Cadmium from Water Using Phosphate Rock   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  
Removal of Pb^2＋, Cu^2＋, Zn^2＋ and Cd^2＋ from aqueous solutions by sorption on a natural phosphate rock （FAP） was investigated. The effects of the contact time and initial metal concentration were examined in the batch method. The percentage sorption of heavy metals from solution ranges generally between 50% and 99%. The amount of sorbed metal ions follows the order Cu〉Pb〉Cd〉Zn. Heavy metal immobilization was attributed to both surface complexation of metal ions on the surface of FAP grains and partial dissolution and precipitation of a heavy metal-containing phosphate. The very low desorption ratio of heavy metals further supports the effectiveness of FAP as an alternative and low-cost material to remove toxic Pb^2＋, Cu^2＋, Zn^2＋ and Cd^2＋ from polluted waters.  相似文献

Sorption and catalytic oxidation of Fe(II) at the surface of calcite   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
The effect of sorption and coprecipitation of Fe(II) with calcite on the kinetics of Fe(II) oxidation was investigated. The interaction of Fe(II) with calcite was studied experimentally in the absence and presence of oxygen. The sorption of Fe(II) on calcite occurred in two distinguishable steps: (a) a rapid adsorption step (seconds-minutes) was followed by (b) a slower incorporation (hours-weeks). The incorporated Fe(II) could not be remobilized by a strong complexing agent (phenanthroline or ferrozine) but the dissolution of the outmost calcite layers with carbonic acid allowed its recovery. Based on results of the latter dissolution experiments, a stoichiometry of 0.4 mol% Fe:Ca and a mixed carbonate layer thickness of 25 nm (after 168 h equilibration) were estimated. Fe(II) sorption on calcite could be successfully described by a surface adsorption and precipitation model (Comans & Middelburg, GCA51 (1987), 2587) and surface complexation modeling (Van Cappellen et al., GCA57 (1993), 3505; Pokrovsky et al., Langmuir16 (2000), 2677). The surface complex model required the consideration of two adsorbed Fe(II) surface species, >CO3Fe+ and >CO3FeCO3H0. For the formation of the latter species, a stability constant is being suggested. The oxidation kinetics of Fe(II) in the presence of calcite depended on the equilibration time of aqueous Fe(II) with the mineral prior to the introduction of oxygen. If pre-equilibrated for >15 h, the oxidation kinetics was comparable to a calcite-free system (t1/2 = 145 ± 15 min). Conversely, if Fe(II) was added to an aerated calcite suspension, the rate of oxidation was higher than in the absence of calcite (t1/2 = 41 ± 1 min and t1/2 = 100 ± 15 min, respectively). This catalysis was due to the greater reactivity of the adsorbed Fe(II) species, >CO3FeCO3H0, for which the species specific rate constant was estimated.  相似文献

Distribution coefficients, as a function of precipitation rate, were determined for the metals Sr2+, Co2+, Mn2+ and Cd2+in calcite. A pH-stat was used to maintain a constant degree of-saturation, and hence precipitation rate, during each coprecipitation run. The precipitation rate was proportional to the degree of supersaturation and the mass of seed crystal introduced. Distribution coefficients (λ) as a function of rate were determined using radioactive isotopes for solutions with saturations Ω = 1 to Ω = 5.5. Strontium distribution coefficients increased with increasing precipitation rate, while Co, Mn and Cd distribution coefficients decreased with increasing precipitation rate. The following rate expressions (at 25°C) were derived: logλSr = 0.249 log R ?1.57logλMn = ?0.266 log R + 1.35logλCo = ?0.173 log R + 0.68logλCd = ?0.194 log R + 1.46 where R is the observed precipitation rate in nmoles CaCO3 per mg seed crystal per min.In separate experiments the uptake of radioactive isotopes was monitored during the recrystallization of calcite seed crystals. Rates of recrystallization were from 100 to 10, 000 times slower than the pH-stat experiments, but yielded distribution coefficients consistent with the above rate expressions.Using gross estimates of biogenic crystal growth rates, aragonite to calcite transformation rates, and the above Sr rate expression, biogenic calcite and diagenetic calcite Sr contents are estimated. These experiments indicate that in addition to solution composition, precipitation rate is a significant factor influencing the trace metal content of naturally occurring calcite.  相似文献

The distribution of Cd2+ in the presence of phthalic acid (H2Lp), ferrihydrite and bacteria (Comamonas spp.) was investigated in biologically active systems involving H2Lp biodegradation. Tests showed that Cd2+ sorption onto bacteria, ferrihydrite and bacteria-ferrihydrite mixture increased with pH in all systems, irrespective of H2Lp degradation or not. The use of bacterial growth medium, Bushnell Hass Broth modified for low phosphate, had negligible effect on Cd sorption. In the presence of ferrihydrite, no difference was observed between Cd2+ sorption in the ferrihydrite-live bacteria and in the ferrihydrite-dead bacteria systems as ferrihydrite proved to be the dominant sorption phase. Cadmium sorption to ferrihydrite and to bacterial cells was described using the diffuse layer model and a nonelectrostatic 4-site model, respectively, which were developed for systems lacking H2Lp degradation. For systems experiencing H2Lp degradation this modeling approach predicted the general trend of Cd2+ sorption-edge shift and gave good fits to the observed sorption data. The results obtained demonstrate that Cd2+ sorption in the biologically active system was reasonably estimated by a model developed for biologically inactive systems, although uncertainty exists due to processes involving H2Lp biodegradation products and changes in the bacterial population.  相似文献

Batch uptake experiments and X-ray element mapping and spectroscopic techniques were used to investigate As(V) (arsenate) uptake mechanisms by calcite, including adsorption and coprecipitation. Batch sorption experiments in calcite-equilibrated suspensions (pH 8.3; PCO2 = 10−3.5 atm) reveal rapid initial sorption to calcite, with sorption rate gradually decreasing with time as available sorption sites decrease. An As(V)-calcite sorption isotherm determined after 24 h equilibration exhibits Langmuir-like behavior up to As concentrations of 300 μM. Maximum distribution coefficient values (Kd), derived from a best fit to a Langmuir model, are ∼190 L kg−1.Calcite single crystals grown in the presence of As(V) show well-developed rhombohedral morphology with characteristic growth hillocks on surfaces at low As(V) concentrations (?5 μM), but habit modification is evident at As(V) concentrations ?30 μM in the form of macrostep development preferentially on the − vicinal surfaces of growth hillocks. Micro-X-ray fluorescence element mapping of surfaces shows preferential incorporation of As in the − vicinal faces relative to + vicinals. EXAFS fit results for both adsorption and coprecipitation samples confirm that As occurs in the 5+ oxidation state in tetrahedral coordination with oxygen, i.e., as arsenate. For adsorption samples, As(V) forms inner-sphere surface complexes via corner-sharing with Ca octahedra. As(V) coprecipitated with calcite substitutes in carbonate sites but with As off-centered, as indicated by two Ca shells, and with likely disruption of local structure. The results indicate that As(V) interacts strongly with the calcite surface, similar to often-cited analog phosphate, and uptake can occur via both adsorption and coprecipitation reactions. Therefore, calcite may be effective for partial removal of dissolved arsenate from aquatic and soil systems.  相似文献

The influence of soil organisms on metal mobility and bioavailability in soils is not currently fully understood. We conducted experiments to determine whether calcium carbonate granules secreted by the earthworm Lumbricus terrestris could incorporate and immobilise lead in lead- and calcium-amended artificial soils. Soil lead concentrations were up to 2000 mg kg−1 and lead:calcium ratios by mass were 0.5-8. Average granule production rates of 0.39 ± 0.04 mgcalcite earthworm−1 day−1 did not vary with soil lead concentration. The lead:calcium ratio in granules increased significantly with that of the soil (r2 = 0.81, p = 0.015) with lead concentrations in granules reaching 1577 mg kg−1. X-ray diffraction detected calcite and aragonite in the granules with indications that lead was incorporated into the calcite at the surface of the granules. In addition to the presence of calcite and aragonite X-ray absorption spectroscopy indicated that lead was present in the granules mainly as complexes sorbed to the surface but with traces of lead-bearing calcite and cerussite. The impact that lead-incorporation into earthworm calcite granules has on lead mobility at lead-contaminated sites will depend on the fraction of total soil lead that would be otherwise mobile.  相似文献

Iron (III) oxides are ubiquitous in near-surface soils and sediments and interact strongly with dissolved phosphates via sorption, co-precipitation, mineral transformation and redox-cycling reactions. Iron oxide phases are thus, an important reservoir for dissolved phosphate, and phosphate bound to iron oxides may reflect dissolved phosphate sources as well as carry a history of the biogeochemical cycling of phosphorus (P). It has recently been demonstrated that dissolved inorganic phosphate (DIP) in rivers, lakes, estuaries and the open ocean can be used to distinguish different P sources and biological reaction pathways in the ratio of 18O/16O (δ18OP) in PO43−. Here we present results of experimental studies aimed at determining whether non-biological interactions between dissolved inorganic phosphate and solid iron oxides involve fractionation of oxygen isotopes in PO4. Determination of such fractionations is critical to any interpretation of δ18OP values of modern (e.g., hydrothermal iron oxide deposits, marine sediments, soils, groundwater systems) to ancient and extraterrestrial samples (e.g., BIF’s, Martian soils). Batch sorption experiments were performed using varied concentrations of synthetic ferrihydrite and isotopically-labeled dissolved ortho-phosphate at temperatures ranging from 4 to 95 °C. Mineral transformations and morphological changes were determined by X-Ray, Mössbauer spectroscopy and SEM image analyses.Our results show that isotopic fractionation between sorbed and aqueous phosphate occurs during the early phase of sorption with isotopically-light phosphate (P16O4) preferentially incorporated into sorbed/solid phases. This fractionation showed negligible temperature-dependence and gradually decreased as a result of O-isotope exchange between sorbed and aqueous-phase phosphate, to become insignificant at greater than ∼100 h of reaction. In high-temperature experiments, this exchange was very rapid resulting in negligible fractionation between sorbed and aqueous-phase phosphate at much shorter reaction times. Mineral transformation resulted in initial preferential desorption/loss of light phosphate (P16O4) to solution. However, the continual exchange between sorbed and aqueous PO4, concomitant with this mineralogical transformation resulted again in negligible fractionation between aqueous and sorbed PO4 at long reaction times (>2000 h). This finding is consistent with results obtained from natural marine samples. Therefore, 18O values of dissolved phosphate (DIP) in sea water may be preserved during its sorption to iron-oxide minerals such as hydrothermal plume particles, making marine iron oxides a potential new proxy for dissolved phosphate in the oceans.  相似文献

Yemeni natural zeolite was characterized by XRD, SEM, FTIR and XRF as well as its applicability as a sorbent material for Cd2+ ions in aqueous solutions. The zeolitic sample is clinoptilolite-K of heulandite group with intermediate Si/Al ratio. The removal% of Cd2+ by natural clinoptilolite was investigated as a function of contact time, zeolite dose, pH and initial concentration of Cd2+ ions. Kinetic experiments indicated that sorption of Cd2+ follows two steps: rapid ion exchange process on the outer surface is followed by slow adsorption process on the inner surface of clinoptilolite. The equilibrium was attained after 120 min, and the results were fitted well with pseudo-second order and Elovich kinetic models. The Cd2+ removal% is strongly dependent on pH value and increases with the increasing pH value. Equilibrium sorption isotherm of Cd2+ by clinoptilolite was described well using the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin isotherms models. However, the data relatively well fitted with Freundlich model (R 2 = 0.97) rather than by the other models. Response surface methodology in conjunction with central composite rotatable statistical design was used to optimize the sorption process. The model F-value indicated the high significance of second-order polynomial model to represent the interaction between the operating parameters. From the Design Expert’s optimization function, the predicted optimum conditions for maximum removal% of Cd2+ (80.77%) are 116 min contact time, 0.27 gm dose, and pH 7 at an initial Cd2+ concentration of 25 mg/L.  相似文献

Ca isotope fractionation during inorganic calcite formation was experimentally studied by spontaneous precipitation at various precipitation rates (1.8 < log R < 4.4 μmol/m2/h) and temperatures (5, 25, and 40 °C) with traces of Sr using the CO2 diffusion technique.Results show that in analogy to Sr/Ca [see Tang J., Köhler S. J. and Dietzel M. (2008) Sr2+/Ca2+ and 44Ca/40Ca fractionation during inorganic calcite formation: I. Sr incorporation. Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta] the 44Ca/40Ca fractionation during calcite formation can be followed by the Surface Entrapment Model (SEMO). According to the SEMO calculations at isotopic equilibrium no fractionation occurs (i.e., the fractionation coefficient αcalcite-aq = (44Ca/40Ca)s/(44Ca/40Ca)aq = 1 and Δ44/40Cacalcite-aq = 0‰), whereas at disequilibrium 44Ca is fractionated in a primary surface layer (i.e., the surface entrapment factor of 44Ca, F44Ca < 1). As a crystal grows at disequilibrium, the surface-depleted 44Ca is entrapped into the newly formed crystal lattice. 44Ca depletion in calcite can be counteracted by ion diffusion within the surface region. Our experimental results show elevated 44Ca fractionation in calcite grown at high precipitation rates due to limited time for Ca isotope re-equilibration by ion diffusion. Elevated temperature results in an increase of 44Ca ion diffusion and less 44Ca fractionation in the surface region. Thus, it is predicted from the SEMO that an increase in temperature results in less 44Ca fractionation and the impact of precipitation rate on 44Ca fractionation is reduced.A highly significant positive linear relationship between absolute 44Ca/40Ca fractionation and the apparent Sr distribution coefficient during calcite formation according to the equation
