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 effect of temperature on the sorption of cations onto a dioctahedral smectite was investigated by running batch experiments at 25, 40, 80 and 150°C. We measured the distribution coefficient (Kd) of Cs+, Ni2+ and 14 lanthanides (Ln3+) between solutions and the montmorillonite fraction of the MX80 bentonite at various pH and ionic strengths. Up to 80°C we used a conventional experimental protocol derived from Coppin et al. (2002). At 150°C, the experiments were conducted in a PTFE reactor equipped with an internal filter allowing the sampling of clear aliquots of solution.The results show a weak but measurable influence of the temperature on the elements sorption. Kd’s for Ni2+ and Ln3+ increase by a factor 2 to 5 whereas temperature raises from 25 to 150°C. This effect seems higher at high ionic strength. The estimated apparent endothermic sorption enthalpies are 33 ± 10 kJ.mol−1 and 39 ± 15 kJ.mol−1 for Ni2+ and Eu3+, respectively. On the other hand, the temperature effect on Cs+ sorption is only evidenced at low ionic strength and under neutral conditions where the Kd decreases by a factor 3 between 25 and 150°C. Apparent exothermic sorption enthalpy for Cs+ on the montmorillonite is −19 ± 5 kJ.mol−1.Experiments conducted at the four temperatures with the coexistence of all of the cations in the reacting solution (100 ppb of each element in the starting solution) or only one of them, produced similar values of Kd. This suggests the absence of competition between the sorbed cations, and consequently a low degree of saturation of the available sites. A fractionation of the lanthanides spectrum is also observed at high pH and high ionic strength whatever the temperature.The conclusion of this study is that the temperature dependence on sorption reflects, as the fractionation of REE or the pH and ionic strength effects, the chemical process which controls the overall reaction. In the case of an exchange dominated reaction (low pH and low ionic strength), the temperature effect is negligible. In the case of surface complexation (high pH and high ionic strength), the observed increase of Kd with temperature reflects either an increase of the sorption equilibrium constant with temperature or an endothermic property for reactions describing the montmorillonite surface chemistry. 相似文献

Sorption of the 14 rare earth elements (REE) by basaltic rock is investigated as a function of pH, ionic strength and aqueous REE concentrations. The rock sample, originating from a terrestrial basalt flow (Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil), is composed of plagioclase, pyroxene and cryptocrystalline phases. Small amounts of clay minerals are present, due to rock weathering. Batch sorption experiments are carried out under controlled temperature conditions of 20 °C with the <125 μm fraction of the ground rock in solutions of 0.025 M and 0.5 M NaCl and at pH ranging from 2.7 to 8. All 14 REEs are investigated simultaneously with initial concentrations varying from 10−7 to 10−4 mol/L. Some experiments are repeated with only europium present to evaluate possible competitive effects between REE. Experimental results show the preferential retention of the heavy REEs at high ionic strength and circumneutral pH conditions. Moreover, results show that REE sorption increases strongly with decreasing ionic strength, indicating two types of sorption sites: exchange and specific sites. Sorption data are described by a Generalised Composite (GC) non-electrostatic model: two kinds of surface reactions are treated, i.e. cation exchange at >XNa sites, and surface complexation at >SOH sites. Total site density (>XNa + >SOH) is determined by measuring the cation exchange capacity (CEC = 52 μmol/m2). Specific concentrations of exchange sites and complexation sites are determined by fitting the Langmuir equation to sorption isotherms of REE and phosphate ions. Site densities of 22 ± 5 and 30 ± 5 μmol/m2 are obtained for [>XNa] and [>SOH], respectively. The entire set of REE experimental data is modeled using a single exchange constant (log Kex = 9.7) and a surface complexation constant that progressively increases from log K = −1.15 for La(III) to −0.4 for Lu(III).The model proves to be fairly robust in describing other aluminosilicate systems. Maintaining the same set of sorption constants and only adjusting the site densities, we obtain good agreement with the literature data on REE/kaolinite and REE/smectite sorption. The Generalised Composite non-electrostatic model appears as an easy and efficient tool for describing sorption by complex aluminosilicate mineral assemblages. 相似文献

Adsorption of Cr(VI) on γ-alumina was investigated as a function of ionic strength (0.001, 0.01 and 0.1 M NaNO3), pH (4-10), Cr(VI) concentration (10−4 or 10−5 M with 5 g/L solid) and pCO2 (0, atmospheric, 2.5%). Cr(VI) sorption is significant at low pH and decreases with increasing pH, with 50% of the Cr(VI) adsorbed between pH ∼6.5 and 8. Adsorption varies little with ionic strength or pCO2 under most of the studied conditions. However, at low pH under high ionic strength and especially at high ionic strength and high pCO2, Cr(VI) sorption on γ-alumina is suppressed. The adsorption edge data were used to parameterize constant capacitance (CCM), diffuse double layer (DLM) and triple layer (TLM) surface complexation models. None of the models entirely captures the full range of observed adsorption dependence on ionic strength and sorbate/sorbent ratio. The best fits to the full dataset are produced by the CCM, mostly because it has ionic-strength dependent stability constants. The more sophisticated TLM, which requires the most fitting parameters, does not produce better fits than the simpler CCM or DLM approaches for the conditions tested in this study. 相似文献

We studied selenite () retention by magnetite () using both surface complexation modeling and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) to characterize the processes of adsorption, reduction, and dissolution/co-precipitation. The experimental sorption results for magnetite were compared to those of goethite (FeIIIOOH) under similar conditions. Selenite sorption was investigated under both oxic and anoxic conditions and as a function of pH, ionic strength, solid-to-liquid ratio and Se concentration. Sorption onto both oxides was independent of ionic strength and decreased as pH increased, as expected for anion sorption; however, the shape of the sorption edges was different. The goethite sorption data could be modeled assuming the formation of an inner-sphere complex with iron oxide surface sites (SOH). In contrast, the magnetite sorption data at low pH could be modeled only when the dissolution of magnetite, the formation of aqueous iron-selenite species, and the subsequent surface complexation of these species were implemented. The precipitation of ferric selenite was the predominant retention process at higher selenite concentrations (>1 × 10−4 M) and pH < 5, which was in agreement with the XAS results. Sorption behavior onto magnetite was similar under oxic and anoxic conditions. Under anoxic conditions, we did not observe the reduction of selenite. Possible reasons for the absence of reduction are discussed. In conclusion, we show that under acidic reaction conditions, selenite retention by magnetite is largely influenced by dissolution and co-precipitation processes. 相似文献

In this study, we conducted electrophoretic mobility, potentiometric titration, and metal sorption experiments to investigate the surface charge characteristics of Bacillus subtilis and the electrostatic interactions between metal cations and the cell surface electric field. Electrophoretic mobility experiments performed as a function of pH and ionic strength show an isoelectric point of pH 2.4, with the magnitude of the electrokinetic potential increasing with increasing pH, and decreasing with increasing ionic strength. Potentiometric titration experiments conducted from pH 2.4 to 9 yield an average surface charge excess of 1.6 μmol/mg (dry mass). Corresponding cell wall charge density values were used to calculate the Donnan potential (ΨDON) as function of pH and ionic strength. Metal sorption experiments conducted with Ca(II), Sr(II), and Ba(II) exhibit strong ionic strength dependence, suggesting that the metal ions are bound to the bacterial cell wall via an outer-sphere complexation mechanism. Intrinsic metal sorption constants for the sorption reactions were determined by correcting the apparent sorption constant with the Boltzmann factor. A 1:2 metal-ligand stoichiometry provides the best fit to the experimental data with log K2int values of 5.9 ± 0.3, 6.0 ± 0.2, 6.2 ± 0.2 for Ca(II), Sr(II), and Ba(II) respectively. Electrophoretic mobility measurements of cells sorbed with Ca(II), Sr(II), and Ba(II) support the 1:2 sorption stoichiometry. These results indicate that electrical potential parameters derived from the Donnan model can be applied to predict metal binding onto bacterial surfaces over a wide range of pH and ionic strength conditions. 相似文献

The adsorption behavior of Zn2+ ions onto the surface of amorphous aluminosilicates was studied using both potentiometric and spectroscopic methods (XANES: X-ray Absorption Near-Edge Structure). The aluminosilicates were prepared with different Al/Si ratios in order to compare the reactivities of surface aluminol and silanol groups toward Zn2+ ions. Potentiometric experiments were performed by maintaining the reacting suspensions at constant pH, ionic strength, and solid concentration, while Zn concentration was increased by stepwise addition. Our results showed that the surface aluminol and silanol groups possess significantly different reactivities toward Zn2+ ions. The reaction of Zn2+ ions with aluminol groups occurs through three processes: (i) surface complexation, (ii) dissolution, and (iii) re-sorption. A stoichiometric relationship was confirmed for the surface complexation between the aluminol groups and Zn2+ ions: two moles of H+ ions were released for one mole of Zn2+ ion adsorption. Following the surface complexation process, measurable amounts of zinc and aluminum ions were found to be mobilized from the surface of the solid to the liquid phase; subsequently, these ions precipitated on the solid surface, and possibly formed a co-precipitate with the hydrotalcite-type structure. On the other hand, a stoichiometric relationship was not obtained for the sorption of Zn2+ ions on silanol groups, and therefore, it was concluded that Zn2+ ions are retained on the surface of amorphous aluminosilicates by two different reactions. One reaction involves the surface complexation between Zn2+ ions and surface aluminol groups, which proceeds rapidly. The other reaction is the slow retention of Zn2+ ions onto silanol and/or aluminol groups, which could be the surface precipitation of Zn(OH)2 or the co-precipitation of Zn2+-Al3+ hydroxides. It can be suggested that the total sorption behavior of Zn2+ ions on amorphous aluminosilicates with different Al/Si ratios can be represented as the sum of the individual reactions of Zn2+ ions toward the aluminol and silanol groups. The potentiometric results were confirmed by XANES data. It was clearly evident that only the aluminol groups were responsible for surface complexation of Zn2+ ions. An equilibrium constant was calculated for this reaction. 相似文献

Sorption interactions with montmorillonite and other clay minerals in soils, sediments, and rocks are potentially important mechanisms for attenuating the mobility of U(6+) and other radionuclides through the subsurface environment.

The study focused on U(6+) surface complexation on hydroxylated edge sites as the sorption mechanism of interest because it is expected to be the predominant sorption mechanism at pHs typical of natural waters (pH ≈6 to ≈9). Thus, the experiments were conducted with a 0.1 M NaNO3 matrix to suppress ion-exchange between U(6+) in solution and interlayer cations. The results show that U(6+) sorption on montmorillonite is a strong function of pH, reaching a maximum at near-neutral pH (≈6 to ≈6.5) and decreasing sharply towards more acidic or more alkaline conditions. A comparison of the pH-dependence of U(6+) sorption with that of U(6+) aqueous speciation indicates a close correspondence between U(6+) sorption and the predominance field of U(6+)-hydroxy complexes. At high pH, sorption is inhibited due to formation of aqueous U(6+)-carbonate complexes. At low pH, the low sorption values indicate that the 0.1 M NaNO3 matrix was effective in suppressing ion-exchange between the uranyl (UO2 2+) species and interlayer cations in montmorillonite. At pH and carbonate concentrations typical of natural waters, sorption of U(6+) on montmorillonite can vary by four orders of magnitude and can become negligible at high pH. The experimental results were used to develop a thermodynamic model based on a surface complexation approach to permit predictions of U(6+) sorption at differing physicochemical conditions. A Diffuse-Layer model (DLM) assuming aluminol (>AlOH?) and silanol (>SiOH?) edge sites and two U(6+) surface complexation reactions per site effectively simulates the complex sorption behavior observed in the U(6+)-H2O-CO2-montmorillonite system at an ionic strength of 0.1 M and pH > 3.5. A comparison of model predictions with data from this study and from published literature shows good agreement and suggests that surface complexation models based on parameters derived from a limited set of data could be useful in extrapolating radionuclide sorption over a range of geochemical conditions. Such an approach could be used to support transport modeling by providing a better alternative to the use of constant K d s in transport calculations. 相似文献

The subsurface mobility of Np is difficult to predict in part due to uncertainties associated with its sorption behavior in geologic systems. In this study, we measured Np adsorption onto a common gram-positive soil bacterium, Bacillus subtilis. We performed batch adsorption experiments with Np(V) solutions as a function of pH, from 2.5 to 8, as a function of total Np concentration from 1.29 × 10−5 M to 2.57 × 10−4 M, and as a function of ionic strength from 0.001 to 0.5 M NaClO4. Under most pH conditions, Np adsorption is reversible and exhibits an inverse relationship with ionic strength, with adsorption increasing with increasing pH. At low pH in the 0.1 M ionic strength systems, we observed irreversible adsorption, which is consistent with reduction of Np(V) to Np(IV). We model the adsorption reaction using a nonelectrostatic surface complexation approach to yield ionic strength dependent NpO2+-bacterial surface stability constants. The data require two bacterial surface complexation reactions to account for the observed adsorption behavior: R-L1− + NpO2+ ↔ R-L1-NpO2° and R-L2− + NpO2+ ↔ R-L2-NpO2°, where R represents the bacterium to which each functional group is attached, and L1 and L2 represent the first and second of four discrete site types on the bacterial surface. Stability constants (log K values) for the L1 and L2 reactions in the 0.001 M system are 2.3 ± 0.3 and 2.3 ± 0.2, and in the 0.1 M system the values are 1.7 ± 0.2 and 1.6 ± 0.2, respectively. The calculated neptunyl-bacterial surface stability constants are not consistent with values predicted using the linear free energy correlation approach from Fein et al. (2001), suggesting that possible unfavorable steric interactions and the low charge of NpO2+ affects Np-bacterial adsorption. 相似文献

Strontium-90 is a beta emitting radionuclide produced during nuclear fission, and is a problem contaminant at many nuclear facilities. Transport of 90Sr in groundwaters is primarily controlled by sorption reactions with aquifer sediments. The extent of sorption is controlled by the geochemistry of the groundwater and sediment mineralogy. Here, batch sorption experiments were used to examine the sorption behaviour of 90Sr in sediment–water systems representative of the UK Sellafield nuclear site based on groundwater and contaminant fluid compositions. In experiments with low ionic strength groundwaters (<0.01 mol L−1), pH variation is the main control on sorption. The sorption edge for 90Sr was observed between pH 4 and 6 with maximum sorption occurring (Kd ∼ 103 L kg−1) at pH 6–8. At ionic strengths above 10 mmol L−1, and at pH values between 6 and 8, cation exchange processes reduced 90Sr uptake to the sediment. This exchange process explains the lower 90Sr sorption (Kd ∼ 40 L kg−1) in the presence of artificial Magnox tank liquor (IS = 29 mmol L−1). Strontium K-edge EXAFS spectra collected from sediments incubated with Sr2+ in either HCO3-buffered groundwater or artificial Magnox tank liquor, revealed a coordination environment of ∼9 O atoms at 2.58–2.61 Å after 10 days. This is equivalent to the Sr2+ hydration sphere for the aqueous ion and indicates that Sr occurs primarily in outer sphere sorption complexes. No change was observed in the Sr sorption environment with EXAFS analysis after 365 days incubation. Sequential extractions performed on sediments after 365 days also found that ∼80% of solid associated 90Sr was exchangeable with 1 M MgCl2 in all experiments. These results suggest that over long periods, 90Sr in contaminated sediments will remain primarily in weakly bound surface complexes. Therefore, if groundwater ionic strength increases (e.g. by saline intrusion related to sea level rise or by design during site remediation) then substantial remobilisation of 90Sr is to be expected. 相似文献

Uranyl adsorption onto montmorillonite: Evaluation of binding sites and carbonate complexation 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
The fate and transport of uranium in contaminated soils and sediments may be affected by adsorption onto the surface of minerals such as montmorillonite. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy has been used to investigate the adsorption of uranyl (UO22+) onto Wyoming montmorillonite. At low pH (∼4) and low ionic strength (10−3 M), uranyl has an EXAFS spectrum indistinguishable from the aqueous uranyl cation, indicating binding via cation exchange. At near-neutral pH (∼7) and high ionic strength (1 M), the equatorial oxygen shell of uranyl is split, indicating inner-sphere binding to edge sites. Linear-combination fitting of the spectra of samples reacted under conditions where both types of binding are possible reveals that cation exchange at low ionic strengths on SWy-2 may be more important than predicted by past surface complexation models of U(VI) adsorption on related montmorillonites. Analysis of the binding site on the edges of montmorillonite suggests that U(VI) sorbs preferentially to [Fe(O,OH)6] octahedral sites over [Al(O,OH)6] sites. When bound to edge sites, U(VI) occurs as uranyl-carbonato ternary surface complexes in systems equilibrated with atmospheric CO2. Polymeric surface complexes were not observed under any of the conditions studied. Current surface complexation models of uranyl sorption on clay minerals may need to be reevaluated to account for the possible increased importance of cation exchange reactions at low ionic strengths, the presence of reactive octahedral iron surface sites, and the formation of uranyl-carbonato ternary surface complexes. Considering the adsorption mechanisms observed in this study, future studies of U(VI) transport in the environment should consider how uranium retardation will be affected by changes in key solution parameters, such as pH, ionic strength, exchangeable cation composition, and the presence or absence of CO2. 相似文献

Potential human intrusion into the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) might release actinides into the Culebra Dolomite where sorption reactions will affect of radiotoxicity from the repository. Using a limited residence time reactor the authors have measured Ca, Mg, Nd adsorption/exchange as a function of ionic strength, PCO2, and pH at 25°C. By the same approach, but using as input radioactive tracers, adsorption/exchange of Am, Pu, U, and Np on dolomite were measured as a function of ionic strength, PCO2, and pH at 25°C. Metal adsorption is typically favored at high pH. Calcium and Mg adsorb in near-stoichiometric proportions except at high pH. Adsorption of Ca and Mg is diminished at high ionic strengths (e.g., 0.5M NaCl) pointing to association of Na+ with the dolomite surface, and the possibility that Ca and Mg sorb as hydrated, outer-sphere complexes. Sulfate amplifies sorption of Ca and Mg, and possibly Nd as well. Exchange of Nd for surface Ca is favored at high pH, and when Ca levels are low. Exchange for Ca appears to control attachment of actinides to dolomite as well, and high levels of Ca2+ in solution will decrease Kds. At the same time, to the extent that high PCO2s increase Ca2+ levels, Kds will decrease with CO2 levels as well, but only if sorbing actinide-carbonate complexes are not observed to form (Am-carbonate complexes appear to sorb; Pu-complexes might sorb as well. U-carbonate complexation leads to desorption). This indirect CO2 effect is observed primarily at, and above, neutral pH. High NaCl levels do not appear to affect to actinide Kds. 相似文献

Experiments were conducted under static batch and dynamic flow conditions to evaluate the sorption of FeII onto three goethites (G1, G2 and G3) having different crystal habits, morphologies and surface properties. Results reveal that G1 exhibited the highest FeII sorption extent and lowest kinetic rate constant, which may result from higher surface site density, surface roughness and edge surface faces. Surface complexation modeling parameters derived from batch experiments were combined with hydrodynamic parameters to simulate breakthrough curves in goethite-coated sand packed columns. The total sorbed amount of FeII at complete breakthrough was in agreement with that expected from the batch experiments, except for G1. Sorption breakthrough predictions that make use of surface complexation parameters accurately predicted FeII mobility in G2 and G3 columns, but poorly in G1 column. Experiments at various flow rates in G1 columns represented different amounts of FeII sorbed at complete breakthrough, thereby underscoring the impact of kinetic sorption. Moreover, Fe dissolution/re-precipitation or FeII-induced transformation of goethite was suspected at the lowest flow rate in the G1 column. The influence of goethite phase specific reactivity on FeII sorption under batch versus advective–dispersive flow is herein demonstrated. These findings have strong implications to assess transport of FeII and environmental contaminants both in natural and engineered systems. 相似文献

Experiments of Zn2+ and Fe3+ coprecipitation as a function of pH were conducted in the laboratory at ambient temperature and pressure. X-ray diffraction patterns of the coprecipitates show two broad peaks at 0.149 and 0.258 nm, which is consistent with published patterns for pure 2-line ferrihydrite. Zn2+ uptake occurred at pH ≥5 while Fe3+ precipitation occurred between pH 3 and 4, although both Zn2+ and Fe3+ were present in the same solution during the entire range of pH titration. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy shows that the coprecipitates are 2 to 6 nm sized single crystalline particles but aggregated to 50 to 400 nm sized clusters. Analytical electron microscopy indicated that the 5% atomic Zn with respect to Fe was homogeneously distributed. No segregated phases were found in the clusters or at single crystal edges, which is consistent with published extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) results at similar Zn/(Zn + Fe) ratios. Hence, occlusion and surface precipitation may be excluded as possible coprecipitation mechanisms. The bulk solution Zn2+ sorption edge was fitted to both solid solution and generalized diffuse layer surface complexation models. However, a solid solution model is inconsistent with published EXAFS results that show tetrahedral polydentate Zn2+ complexes sharing apices with Fe3+octahedra. 相似文献

Numerous studies have utilized surface complexation theory to model proton adsorption behaviour onto mesophilic bacteria. However, few experiments, to date, have investigated the effects of pH and ionic strength on proton interactions with thermophilic bacteria. In this study, we characterize proton adsorption by the thermophile Anoxybacillus flavithermus by performing acid-base titrations and electrophoretic mobility measurements in NaNO3 (0.001-0.1 M). Equilibrium thermodynamics (Donnan model) were applied to describe the specific chemical reactions that occur at the water-bacteria interface. Acid-base titrations were used to determine deprotonation constants and site concentrations for the important cell wall functional groups, while electrophoretic mobility data were used to further constrain the model. We observe that with increasing pH and ionic strength, the buffering capacity increases and the electrophoretic mobility decreases. We develop a single surface complexation model to describe proton interactions with the cells, both as a function of pH and ionic strength. Based on the model, the acid-base properties of the cell wall of A. flavithermus can best be characterized by invoking three distinct types of cell wall functional groups, with pKa values of 4.94, 6.85, and 7.85, and site concentrations of 5.33, 1.79, and 1.42 × 10−4 moles per gram of dry bacteria, respectively. A. flavithermus imparts less buffering capacity than pure mesophilic bacteria studied to date because the thermophile possesses a lower total site density (8.54 × 10−4 moles per dry gram bacteria). 相似文献

A 210Pb radiotracer was used to monitor Pb solid-aqueousphase partitioning in sorption experiments at ambient temperature, pH = 8.2, and atmospheric PCO2 in 0.15 M NaNO3 solutions. A 24 h isotherm is linear up to Pb concentrations of 4 × 10-6 M, above which an increase in slope suggests precipitation. The effect of Pb concentration, calcite loading, and ionic strength on Pb sorption with time was monitored. Sorption kinetics are rapid, followed by a slower sorption step.At a constant calcite loading500 mg L-1,fractional sorptiondecreases with increasing initialPb concentration. The reverse isobserved for surface coverage, with0.6, 5.6 and 40.2% of availableCa2+sites occupied at10-8,10-7 and10-6 MPb after 96 h. At a constant Pb concentration of10-6 M,fractional sorption increases with increasing particleloading, however surface coverage decrease with72.5 and 22.1%Ca2+sites occupied at 100 and200 mg L-1calcite after 96 h.The adsorption coefficient (Kd) is approximately 103,increases with initial Pb concentration, but remains unaffected by variable calcite loading. Absence of an ionic strength effect on Pb sorption is interpreted as the dominance of inner-sphere complexation. For desorption experiments conducted over a range of initial sorption times, an average desorption index > 0.8 but < 1 indicates that sorption is largely reversible, but is accompanied by slight incorporation. Solid-solution formation increases with time, as observed by slower initial desorption rates for samples with longer sorption times. These findings indicate that Pb may be effectively sequestered by calcite; however re-release via desorption is likely as Pb does not become significantly incorporated into the mineral structure. 相似文献

Sorption edges and isotherms for Eu(III) uptake on Ca-montmorillonite and Na-illite in 0.066 mol/L Ca(ClO4)2 and 0.1 mol/L NaClO4 background electrolytes, respectively, were modelled using a quasi-mechanistic sorption model (the two site protolysis non electrostatic surface complexation and cation exchange (2SPNE SC/CE) model). For both clay minerals the Eu sorption edges could be quantitatively modelled in the pH range ∼3 to ∼10 using cation exchange reactions for Eu3+/Na+ and Eu3+/Ca2+ and three surface complexation reactions on the strong sorption sites forming ≡SSOEu2+, ≡SSOEuOH+ and ≡SSOEu(OH)2° inner sphere complexes which appear successively with increasing pH. Time resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS) measurements of Cm(III) loaded Ca-montmorillonite and Na-illite were available from Part 1 of this work. De-convolution of the normalised fluorescence spectra measured at different pH values indicated three distinct Cm surface complexes, Cm complexes 1, 2 and 3 for both clay minerals, in agreement with model predictions, but with different distribution functions for the individual species. Under the assumption that Eu and Cm exhibit essentially the same hydrolysis and sorption behaviour, the Eu surface complexation constants were used to predict surface species distribution functions for Cm under the same experimental conditions used in the TRLFS measurements. Comparison of modelled and experimentally deduced species distributions indicated that for both clay minerals peak heights and widths of the three peaks did not correspond particularly well. It is shown that the calculated species distribution functions are sensitive to the values of the hydrolysis constants used in the calculations, whereas modelling the sorption edge measurements by applying the 2SPNE SC/CE approach is much less sensitive. By modifying the values of the hydrolysis constants within their uncertainty range and re-modelling the sorption edges, considerably better correspondence between the modelled and TRLFS species distribution functions was found. In particular, peak positions, heights and widths for the model predicted peaks for the ≡SSOCm2+ and ≡SSOCmOH+ species distribution, and those for Cm complexes 1 and 2 derived from TRLFS, were found to be very close for both clay minerals. However, discrepancies were still apparent between the profile for the calculated ≡SSOEu(OH)2° surface species and the Cm complex 3 species, especially in the case of Na-illite. 相似文献
