Conditional surface binding constants and complexation capacities for Zn, Pb, Cd, and Cu were determined from surface titration experiments of heterogeneous natural aquatic particulate matter of different origin and composition. Metals and particles were evaluated in naturally occurring concentration ranges in river water.The adsorption of trace metals can be adequately described with a single conditional binding constant over a wide range of metal : particle ratios. Binding constants for aquatic particles at pH 8.0 are remarkably independent from particle composition and are specific for each metal: log Kads Zn = 8.39, log Kads Pb = 9.67, log Kads Cd = 8.61, log ads Cu = 9.84. From competition experiments with Ca and Pb we extracted a sorption coefficient for Ca of log Kads Ca = 2.5 (pH 8.0). Maximum surface binding capacities for all metal ions were found for particles containing high fractions of Mn-oxides which are associated with large specific surface areas. Generally, we found sorption capacities to decrease in the sequence Cu Pb, Zn > Cd.The experiments suggest that the conditional surface binding constants and complexation capacities are applicable to model trace metal adsorption in the concentration ranges of natural waters under conditions similar to the experiments. Results also imply that the chemical nature of particle surface sites is rather uniform in the intermediate concentration range or that the array of binding sites averages out differences in sorption strength over the prevailing concentration range of metal ions, respectively.  相似文献

Thermodynamic data for all fate-determining processes are needed in order to predict the fate and transport of metals in natural systems. The surface complexation properties of a synthetic MnO2, δ-MnO2, have accordingly been investigated using glass electrode potentiometry. Experimental data were interpreted according to the surface complexation model in conjunction with the diffuse double layer model of the solid/solution interface. Adsorption constants were determined using the non-linear optimisation program FITEQL. Surface complexation parameters determined in this way were validated against results obtained from the literature. Best fits of alkalimetric titration data were obtained with a 2-site, 3 surface-species model of the δ-MnO2 surface. Site concentrations of 2.23×10−3 mol g−1 and 7.66×10−4 mol g−1 were obtained. Corresponding logarithms of formation constants for the postulated surface species are −1.27 (≡XO), −5.99 (≡YO) and 3.52 (≡YOH2+) at I=0.1 M. The surface speciation of δ-MnO2 is dominated by ≡XO over the pH range investigated. Metal adsorption was modelled with surface species of the type ≡XOM+, ≡XOMOH, ≡YOM+, ≡YOMOH (M=Cu, Ni, Zn, Cd and Pb) and ≡XOM2OH2+ (M=Pb). For Cu, Ni and Zn, titration data could be modelled with ≡XOM+, ≡XOMOH, ≡YOM+ and ≡YOMOH, whereas for Cd, ≡XOM+ and ≡YOM+ were sufficient. Lead data were best modelled by assuming the dinuclear species ≡XOM2OH2+ to be the only surface species to form. Adsorption constants determined for Ni, Cu and Zn follow the Irving-Williams sequence. The model suggests an adsorption order of (Pb, Cu) > (Ni, Zn) > Cd. The discrepancy between model predictions and published adsorption results is similar to the variability observed in experimental results from different laboratories.  相似文献

Adsorption of divalent metal ions, including Cu2+, Pb2+, Zn2+, Cd2+ and Ni2+, on quartz surface was measured as a function of metal ion concentration at 30°C under conditions of solution pH= 6. 5 and ion strength I = 0. 1mol/L. Results of the experimental measurements can be described very well by adsorption isotherm equations of Freudlich. The correlation coefficients (r) of adsorption isotherm lines are > 0. 96. Moreover, the experimental data were interpreted on the basis of surface complexation model. The experimental results showed that the monodentate-coordinated metal ion surface complex species (SOM+) are predominant over the bidentate-coordinated metal ion surface complex species [(SO)2M] formed only by the ions Cu2+, Zn2+ and Ni2+. And the relevant apparent surface complexation constants are lgKM = 2.2–3.3 in order of KCd≥KPb > KZn > KNi≥KCu, and lgβM = 5.9-6.8 in order of βNi > βZn > βCu. Therefore, the reactive ability of the ions onto mineral surface of quartz follows the order of Cd > Pb > Zn > Ni> Cu under the above-mentioned solution conditions. The apparent surface complexation constants, influenced by the surface potential, surface species and hydrolysis of metal ions, depend mainly on the Born solvation coefficient of the metal ions.

In solution thermodynamics, and more recently in surface chemistry, it is well established that relationships can be found between the free energies of formation of aqueous or surface metal complexes and thermodynamic properties of the metal ions or ligands. Such systematic dependencies are commonly termed linear free energy relationships (LFER). A 2 site protolysis non-electrostatic surface complexation and cation exchange (2SPNE SC/CE) model has been used to model “in house” and literature sorption edge data for eleven elements: Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Eu(III), Am(III), Sn(IV), Th(IV), Np(V) and U(VI) to provide surface complexation constants for the strong sites on montmorillonite. Modelling a further 4 sets of sorption isotherms for Ni(II), Zn(II), Eu(III) and U(VI) provided complexation constants for the weak sites. The protolysis constants and site capacities derived for the 2SPNE SC/CE model in previous work were fixed in all of the calculations. Cation exchange was modelled simultaneously to provide selectivity coefficients. Good correlations between the logarithms of strong SKx−1 and weak W1Kx−1 site binding constants on montmorillonite and the logarithm of the aqueous hydrolysis constants OHKx were found which could be described by the following equations: Strong (≡SSOH) sites:

Proton binding constants for the edge and basal surface sites of kaolinite were determined by batch titration experiments at 25 °C in the presence of 0.1 M, 0.01 M and 0.001 M solutions of NaNO3 and in the pH range 3-9. By optimizing the results of the titration experiments, the ratio of the edge sites to the basal surface sites was found to be 6:1. The adsorption of Cd(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II) and Pb(II) onto kaolinite suspensions was investigated using batch adsorption experiments and results suggested that in the lower pH range the metallic cations were bound through non-specific ion exchange reactions on the permanently charged basal surface sites (X). Adsorption on these sites was greatly affected by ionic strength. With increasing pH, the variable charged edge sites (SOH) became the major adsorption sites and inner-sphere specifically adsorbed monodentate complexes were believed to be formed. The effect of ionic strength on the extent of adsorption of the metals on the variable charged edge sites was much less than those on the permanently charged sites. Two binding constants, log K(X2Me) and log K(SOMe), were calculated by optimizing these constants in the computer program FITEQL. A model combining non-specific ion exchange reactions and inner-sphere specific surface complexations was developed to predict the adsorption of heavy metals onto kaolinite in the studied pH range. Linear free energy relationships were found between the edge site binding constants and the first hydrolysis constants of the metals.  相似文献

The dissolution kinetics of carbonate rocks sampled from the Keg River Formation in Northeast British Columbia were measured at 50 bar pCO2 and 105 °C, in both natural and synthetic brines of 0.4 M ionic strength. Natural brines yielded reaction rates of −12.16 ± 0.11 mol cm−2 s−1 for Log RCa, and −12.64 ± 0.05 for Log RMg. Synthetic brine yielded faster rates of reaction than natural brines. Experiments performed on synthetic brines, spiked with 10 mmol of either Sr or Zn, suggest that enhanced reaction rates observed in synthetic brines are due to a lack of trace ion interaction with mineral surfaces. Results were interpreted within the surface complexation model framework, allowing for the discrimination of reactive surface sites, most importantly the hydration of the >MgOH surface site. Dissolution rates extrapolated from experiments predict that CO2 injected into the Keg River Formation will dissolve a very minor portion of rock in contact with affected formation waters.  相似文献

The through- and out-diffusion of HTO, 36Cl and 125I in Opalinus Clay, an argillaceous rock from the northern part of Switzerland, was studied under different confining pressures between 4 and 15 MPa. The direction of diffusion and the confining pressure were perpendicular to the bedding. Confining pressure had only a small effect on diffusion. An increase in pressure from 4 to 15 MPa resulted in a decrease of the effective diffusion coefficient of ∼20%. Diffusion accessible porosities were not measurably affected. The values of the effective diffusion coefficients, De, ranged between (5.6±0.4)×10−12 and (6.7±0.4)×10−12 m2 s−1 for HTO, (7.1±0.5)×10−13 and (9.1±0.6)×10−13 m2 s−1 for 36Cl and (4.5±0.3)×10−13 and (6.6±0.4)×10−13 m2 s−1 for 125I. The rock capacity factors, α, measured were circa 0.14 for HTO, 0.040 for 36Cl and 0.080 for 125I. Because of anion exclusion effects, anions diffuse slower and exhibit smaller diffusion accessible porosities than the uncharged HTO. Unlike 36Cl, 125I sorbs weakly on Opalinus Clay resulting in a larger rock capacity factor. The sorption coefficient, Kd, for 125I is of the order of 1–2×10−5 m3 kg−1. The effective diffusion coefficient for HTO is in good agreement with values measured in other sedimentary rocks and can be related to the porosity using Archie's Law with exponent m=2.5.  相似文献

In this study, we measure proton, Pb, and Cd adsorption onto the bacteria Deinococcus radiodurans, Thermus thermophilus, Acidiphlium angustum, Flavobacterium aquatile, and Flavobacterium hibernum, and we calculate the thermodynamic stability constants for the important surface complexes. These bacterial species represent a wide genetic diversity of bacteria, and they occupy a wide range of habitats. All of the species, except for A. angustum, exhibit similar proton and metal uptake. The only species tested that exhibits significantly different protonation behavior is A. angustum, an acidophile that grows at significantly lower pH than the other species of this study. We demonstrate that a single, metal-specific, surface complexation model can be used to reasonably account for the acid/base and metal adsorption behaviors of each species. We use a four discrete site non-electrostatic model to describe the protonation of the bacterial functional groups, with averaged pKa values of 3.1 ± 0.3, 4.8 ± 0.2, 6.7 ± 0.1, and 9.2 ± 0.3, and site concentrations of (1.0 ± 0.17) × 10−4, (9.0 ± 3.0) × 10−5, (4.6 ± 1.8) × 10−5, and (6.1 ± 2.3) × 10−5 mol of sites per gram wet mass of bacteria, respectively. Adsorption of Cd and Pb onto the bacteria can be accounted for by the formation of complexes with each of the bacterial surface sites. The average log stability constants for Cd complexes with Sites 1-4 are 2.4 ± 0.4, 3.2 ± 0.1, 4.4 ± 0.1, and 5.3 ± 0.1, respectively. The average log stability constants for Pb complexes with Sites 1-4 are 3.3 ± 0.2, 4.5 ± 0.3, 6.5 ± 0.1, and 7.9 ± 0.5, respectively. This study demonstrates that a wide range of bacteria exhibit similar proton and metal adsorption behaviors, and that a single set of averaged acidity constants, site concentrations, and stability constants for metal-bacterial surface complexes yields a reasonable model for the adsorption behavior of many of these species. The differences in adsorption behavior that we observed for A. angustum demonstrate that genetic differences do exist between the cell wall functional group chemistries of some bacterial species, and that significant exceptions to the typical bacterial adsorption behavior do exist.  相似文献

Ca6[Al(OH)6]2(CrO4)3·26H2O, the chromate analog of the sulfate mineral ettringite, was synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analyses, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry, and bulk chemical analyses. The solubility of the synthesized solid was measured in a series of dissolution and precipitation experiments conducted at 5–75°C and at initial pH values between 10.5 and 12.5. The ion activity product (IAP) for the reaction Ca6[Al(OH)6]2(CrO4)3·26H2O⇌6Ca2++2Al(OH)4+3CrO2−4+4OH+26H2O varies with pH unless a CaCrO4(aq) complex is included in the speciation model. The log K for the formation of this complex by the reaction Ca2++CrO2−4=CaCrO4(aq) was obtained by minimizing the variance in the IAP for Ca6[Al(OH)6]2(CrO4)3·26H2O. There is no significant trend in the formation constant with temperature and the average log K is 2.77±0.16 over the temperature range 5–75°C. The log solubility product (log KSP) of Ca6[Al(OH)6]2(CrO4)3·26H2O at 25°C is −41.46±0.30. The temperature dependence of the log KSP is log KSP=AB/T+D log(T) where A=498.94±48.99, B=27,499±2257, and D=−181.11±16.74. The values of ΔG0r,298 and ΔH0r,298 for the dissolution reaction are 236.6±3.9 and 77.5±2.4 kJ mol−1. the values of ΔC0P,r,298 and ΔS0r,298 are −1506±140 and −534±83 J mol−1 K−1. Using these values and published standard state partial molal quantities for constituent ions, ΔG0f,298=−15,131±19 kJ mol−1, ΔH0f,298=−17,330±8.6 kJ mol−1, ΔS0298=2.19±0.10 kJ mol−1 K−1, and ΔC0Pf,298=2.12±0.53 kJ mol−1 K−1, were calculated.  相似文献

The use of adsorption data from single sorbate systems to model metal adsorption in SO4-rich waters, such as acid mine drainage, can lead to inaccurate predictions of metal speciation. The adsorption of Cu and Zn on ferrihydrite, for example, is enhanced at low pH values in the presence of SO4. This effect can only be accurately modeled using the diffuse layer model and surface complexation theory if ternary surface complexes, ≡FeOHCuSO4 or ≡FeOHZnSO4, are taken into consideration. Intrinsic adsorption constants for the formation of these ternary complexes on ferrihydrite have been derived from experimental data. When included in the model, Cu and Zn adsorption in the presence of SO4 is accurately predicted for a wide range of metal, ferrihydrite and SO4 concentrations. Adsorption of Cu and Zn onto the SO4-rich Fe oxyhydroxide, schwertmannite, could also be accurately predicted and is indistinguishable from adsorption onto ferrihydrite in the presence of high solution SO4 concentrations (e.g. 0.01 mol kg−1 SO4).  相似文献

In order to test the ability of a surface complexation approach to account for metal-bacteria interactions in near surface fluid-rock systems, we have conducted experiments that measure the extent of adsorption in mixed metal, mixed bacteria systems. This study tests the surface complexation approach by comparing estimated extents of adsorption based on surface complexation modeling to those we observed in the experimental systems. The batch adsorption experiments involved Ca, Cd, Cu, and Pb adsorption onto the surfaces of 2 g positive bacteria: Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis. Three types of experiments were performed: 1. Single metal (Ca, Cu, Pb) adsorption onto a mixture of B. licheniformis and B. subtilis; 2. mixed metal (Cd, Cu, and Pb; Ca and Cd) adsorption onto either B. subtilis or B. licheniformis; and 3. mixed or single metal adsorption onto B. subtilis and B. licheniformis. %Independent of the experimental results, and based on the site specific stability constants for Ca, Cd, Cu, and Pb interactions with the carboxyl and phosphate sites on B. licheniformis and B. subtilis determined by Fein et al. (1997), by Daughney et al. (1998) and in this study, we estimate the extent of adsorption that is expected in the above experimental systems.Competitive cation adsorption experiments in both single and double bacteria systems exhibit little adsorption at pH values less than 4. With increasing pH above 4.0, the extent of Ca, Cu, Pb and Cd adsorption also increases due to the increased deprotonation of bacterial surface functional groups. In all cases studied, the estimated adsorption behavior is in excellent agreement with the observations, with only slight differences that were within the uncertainties of the estimation and experimental procedures. Therefore, the results indicate that the use of chemical equilibrium modeling of aqueous metal adsorption onto bacterial surfaces yields accurate predictions of the distribution of metals in complex multicomponent systems.  相似文献

Fractionation of Cu and Zn isotopes during adsorption onto amorphous ferric oxyhydroxide is examined in experimental mixtures of metal-rich acid rock drainage and relatively pure river water and during batch adsorption experiments using synthetic ferrihydrite. A diverse set of Cu- and Zn-bearing solutions was examined, including natural waters, complex synthetic acid rock drainage, and simple NaNO3 electrolyte. Metal adsorption data are combined with isotopic measurements of dissolved Cu (65Cu/63Cu) and Zn (66Zn/64Zn) in each of the experiments. Fractionation of Cu and Zn isotopes occurs during adsorption of the metal onto amorphous ferric oxyhydroxide. The adsorption data are modeled successfully using the diffuse double layer model in PHREEQC. The isotopic data are best described by a closed system, equilibrium exchange model. The fractionation factors (αsoln-solid) are 0.99927 ± 0.00008 for Cu and 0.99948 ± 0.00004 for Zn or, alternately, the separation factors (Δsoln-solid) are −0.73 ± 0.08‰ for Cu and −0.52 ± 0.04‰ for Zn. These factors indicate that the heavier isotope preferentially adsorbs onto the oxyhydroxide surface, which is consistent with shorter metal-oxygen bonds and lower coordination number for the metal at the surface relative to the aqueous ion. Fractionation of Cu isotopes also is greater than that for Zn isotopes. Limited isotopic data for adsorption of Cu, Fe(II), and Zn onto amorphous ferric oxyhydroxide suggest that isotopic fractionation is related to the intrinsic equilibrium constants that define aqueous metal interactions with oxyhydroxide surface sites. Greater isotopic fractionation occurs with stronger metal binding by the oxyhydroxide with Cu > Zn > Fe(II).  相似文献

The thermoelastic parameters of Ca3Cr2Si3O12 uvarovite garnet were examined in situ at high pressure up to 13 GPa and high temperature up to 1100 K by synchrotron radiation energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction within a 6-6-type multi-anvil press apparatus. A least-square fitting of room T data to a third-order Birch–Murnaghan (BM3) EoS yielded K0 = 164.2 ± 0.7 GPa, V0 = 1735.9 ± 0.3 Å3 (K’0 fixed to 4.0). PVT data were fitted simultaneously by a modified HT-BM3 EoS, which gave the isothermal bulk modulus K0 = 163.6 ± 2.6 GPa, K’0 = 4.1 ± 0.5, its temperature derivative (?K0,T/?T)P = –0.014 ± 0.002 GPa K?1, and the thermal expansion coefficients a0 = 2.32 ± 0.13 ×10?5 K?1 and b0 = 2.13 ± 2.18 ×10?9 K?2 (K’0 fixed to 4.0). Our results showed that the Cr3+ enrichment in natural systems likely increases the density of ugrandite garnets, resulting in a substantial increase of mantle garnet densities in regions where Cr-rich spinel releases chromium through a metasomatic reaction.  相似文献

The study on the competitive adsorption shows that the magnitude order of metal ions adsorbed onto oxide and silicate minerals in near-neutral solution with low ionic strength is in mole/nm2 as follows: CaCO3 > quarte > hydromuscovite > kaolinite > Ca-montmorillonite > goethite > gibbsite. These minerals can be divided into three groups according to their surface equilibrium constantsK M of the adsorption reactions, which are the function of the dielectric constants ε of the absorbent minerals. The relationships between constantsK M and mineral dielectric constants ε are described as follows: lgK M 1 = 7.813-26.15/ε lgK M 2 = 9.030-26.15/ε lgK M 3 =11.63-26.15/ε for the adsorption reaction: >SO- + Mn+≥SOMn-1)+ (n = 1, 2, 3) The first group of minerals include quartz, goethite, 1:1 phyllosilicates and other oxide minerals; the second: gibbsite, brucite and 2:1 phyllosilicates; the third: carbonate, sulphate and phosphorate minerals. The appearance reaction constants have a variation of magnitude ±0.5 for different metal ions with the same mineral.

The solubility of ettringite (Ca6[Al(OH)6]2(SO4)3 · 26H2O) was measured in a series of dissolution and precipitation experiments at 5–75°C and at pH between 10.5 and 13.0 using synthesized material. Equilibrium was established within 4 to 6 days, with samples collected between 10 and 36 days. The log KSP for the reaction Ca6[Al(OH)6]2(SO4)3 · 26H2O ⇌ 6Ca2+ + 2Al(OH)4 + 3SO42− + 4OH + 26H2O at 25°C calculated for dissolution experiments (−45.0 ± 0.2) is not significantly different from the log KSP calculated for precipitation experiments (−44.8 ± 0.4) at the 95% confidence level. There is no apparent trend in log KSP with pH and the mean log KSP,298 is −44.9 ± 0.3. The solubility product decreased linearly with the inverse of temperature indicating a constant enthalpy of reaction from 5 to 75°C. The enthalpy and entropy of reaction ΔH°r and ΔS°r, were determined from the linear regression to be 204.6 ± 0.6 kJ mol−1 and 170 ± 38 J mol−1 K−1. Using our values for log KSP, ΔH°r, and ΔS°r and published partial molal quantities for the constituent ions, we calculated the free energy of formation ΔG°f,298, the enthalpy of formation ΔH°f,298, and the entropy of formation ΔS°f,298 to be −15211 ± 20, −17550 ± 16 kJ mol−1, and 1867 ± 59 J mol−1 K−1. Assuming ΔCP,r is zero, the heat capacity of ettringite is 590 ± 140 J mol−1 K−1.  相似文献

Processing waters contain up to 10 mg l−1 dissolved As at the Macraes mine, New Zealand, and this is all removed by adsorption as the water percolates through a large earth dam. Laboratory experiments were set up to identify which mineral is the most effective substrate for this adsorption of As. The experiments were conducted using infrared (IR) spectroscopy of thin mineral films adhering to a ZnSe prism. Silicates, including kaolinite, adsorbed only small amounts of As which was readily washed off. Hydrated Fe oxides (HFO) were extremely effective at adsorbing As, particularly the natural amorphous HFO currently being deposited from dam discharge waters at the Macraes mine. An adsorption isotherm determined for this natural material has the adsorption constant, Kads=(1.9±0.4)×104 M−1, and the substrate becomes saturated with adsorbed As when solution concentrations exceed about 50 mg l−1. Saturation is not being reached at the Macraes mine. Arsenic adsorbed on to natural HFO has a distinctive IR spectrum with the absorption peak varying from 800 cm−1 (alkaline solutions) to 820 cm−1 (neutral to acid solutions). Much of this adsorbed As is strongly bound and difficult to wash off. Arsenate ions adsorb in a bidentate structure which may be a precursor for scorodite crystallisation.  相似文献

The mobility and bioavailability of heavy metals depends on the metal retention capacity of soil and also on the geochemical phases with which metals are associated. Laboratory batch experiments were carried out to study the sorption and distribution of Cd, Ni and Pb in 3 soils differing in their physicochemical properties from India: Oxyaquic Haplustalf (SL1), Typic Haplustalf (SL2) and Typic Haplustert (SL3). The heavy metal adsorption was studied by isotherms and the distribution coefficient (KD) for each metal was obtained from the linear regressions of the concentration of metal remaining in equilibrium solution and the amount adsorbed. In general, the sorption capacity for all the metals decreased in the order: SL3>SL2>SL1. Among metals, the sorption capacity in all the soils decreased in the order: Pb>>Ni>Cd. Distribution of sorbed metals at various equilibrating concentrations was studied by sequential extraction. Results showed significant differences in the distribution of metals in these soils. At higher additions (such as 200 μM l−1) most of the metals were extracted in their more mobile fractions, exchangeable and/or inorganic in contrast to their original partitioning in soils, where they were preferentially associated with the less mobile residual fraction. Largest percentages of metals extracted in the exchangeable fraction corresponded to those soil–metal systems with smaller KD values, e.g. Cd, Ni and Pb in SL1 and Cd and Ni in SL2. In neutral and alkaline soils (SL2, pH=7.1, and SL3, pH=8.6) Pb was predominantly extracted from the inorganic fractions and this corresponded to higher KD values for Pb in these soils. The predominance of metals associated with the exchangeable fraction together with low KD values indicates higher mobility of metals retained in the acidic soil (SL1, pH=5.2) compared with the others.  相似文献

Samples of authigenic material, sediment overlying water and oxic surface sediment (0–0.5-cm depth) from a perennially oxygenated lacustrine basin were analysed to investigate which solid phases are important for binding a suite of trace elements (Ag, As, Ca, Cd, Cu, Hg, In, methylmercury (MeHg), Mg, Mo, Pb, Sb and Zn). The authigenic material, which was collected with inert Teflon sheets deployed for several years across the sediment–water interface, contained mainly poorly crystallized Fe oxyhydroxides and natural organic matter, presumably humic substances derived from the watershed. Manganese oxyhydroxides were not present in the collected authigenic material due to the slightly acidic condition (pH = 5.6) of the lake that prevents the formation and recycling of these compounds. Conditional equilibrium constants for the adsorption of cationic (KFe–M) and anionic (KFe–A) trace elements onto the authigenic Fe oxyhydroxides were estimated from their concentrations in the authigenic material and in bottom water samples. These field-derived values of KFe–M and KFe–A were compared with those predicted by the surface complexation model, using laboratory-derived intrinsic adsorption constants and the water composition at the study site. Equilibrium constants (KPOM–M) were also calculated for the adsorption of the cationic trace elements onto the humic substances contained in the diagenetic material. The field-derived values of KPOM–M were compared to those predicted by the speciation code WHAM 6 for the complexation of the trace elements by dissolved humic substances in the lake. Combining the results of the present study with those on the distributions of trace elements in the porewater and solid-phase sediments reported in previous studies at the same site, it was determined whether the trace elements bind preferentially to Fe oxyhydroxides or natural organic matter in oxic sediments. The main inferences are that the anionic trace elements As, Mo and Sb, as well as the cationic metal Pb are preferentially bound to the authigenic Fe oxyhydroxides whereas the other trace elements, and especially Hg and MeHg, are preferentially bound to the humic substances.  相似文献

The geochemistry of Mn and Fe in surface pools, pore-waters and surface peats and the sorption of Zn by the surface peats was contrasted among 15 peatlands sampled along a mineral-poor to mineral-rich fen gradient. Sorption of Zn by surficial peats was compared via distribution coefficients, both total (KDT) and partial (KDERMn, KDRFe and KDORG), where ER Mn, R Fe and ORG are amounts of Zn recovered from the easily reducible Mn oxides, reducible Fe oxides, and organic components of peat, respectively. Apparent stability constants (KAs) for Zn sorption onto oxides of Fe recovered from the surface peats were also calculated and compared along the same gradient. Peat geochemistry was peatland dependent; mineral-poor fens had less easily reducible Mn and greater amounts of organic matter (%Loss on Ignition; LOI) versus mineral-rich fens (range of 0.66–8.6 mm kg−1 for ER Mn and 20–88% LOI for organic matter). Reducible Fe also varied among peatlands (range 51–315 mm kg−1) but was independent of the mineral-poor to mineral-rich fen gradient. Comparison of partial KDs for amounts of Zn sorped onto the ER Mn, R Fe and ORG components of peat indicated that sorption was dominated by R Fe in all peatlands. KDTs ranged from 0.54–2.00. In contrast to other aquatic systems, however, the range in KDTs was not related to either surface or pore-water pH. KAs ranged from 0.36 to 3.06 and were also independent of surface or pore-water pH. However, average KAs (but not KDTs), were greater for mineral-poor fens (P<0.02), suggesting greater Zn binding by surface peats of mineral-poor fens versus either the moderately poor or mineral-rich peatlands. Other water chemistry variables, such as pore-water base cation concentrations, weakly correlated to Zn partitioning onto R Fe (r=−0.35, P=0.05), but did not fully explain differences in Zn partitioning among peatlands. Greater average KAs for the mineral-poor peatlands may in part be due to the presence of strong metal-organic matter-Fe oxide complexes in the Sphagnum dominated peatlands as well as lower pore-water base cation concentrations that occur in the mineral-poor peatland as compared to the more mineral-rich fens.  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
