The adsorption of cobalt ions was evaluated using sediment samples from water bodies to investigate the adsorption properties of sediment and the behavior of these natural materials in the presence of nuclear and industrial waste.The two sediments(S1 and S2)were treated to eliminate humic and fulvic acids and then they were characterized by several techniques.The minerals found in both the sediments(X-ray diffraction)were quartz and albite;plus,goethite and muscovite in S1,and kaolinite and montmorillonite in S2.Point of zero charge(PZC)of S1 and S2 was 6.00 and 5.22,respectively.The specific area of S1(63.3 m²/g)is higher than S2(1.5 m²/g).Adsorption kinetics data for S1 and S2 were best fitted to the pseudo second-order model.The removal efficiency of S1 for cobalt was 96%with an adsorption capacity(qe)of 0.93 mg/g,and for S2 was 45%with a qeof 0.40 mg/g.The experimental data of the adsorption isotherms were adjusted to Langmuir and Freundlich models for S1 and S2,respectively.The thermodynamic parameters(enthalpy,entropy,and Gibb’s free energy)indicated that the adsorption processes were endothermic,spontaneous,and chemisorption mechanism.The results show that the adsorption capacities of the sediments depend on their composition.These water sediments have important adsorption properties for cobalt,and they can be used in the treatment of nuclear and industrial aqueous wastes.  相似文献   

Determination of heavy metals in fresh and sea waters of S. Rossore Park (PISA)

A study was performed in the Tyrrhenian Sea in front of S. Rossore Park (Pisa) to ascertain the degree of Cu, Pb, Cd and Cr pollution and to investigate whether the rivers flowing into the sea may be considered potential sources of seawater contamination. Owing to the variability of such a system, the research, covering a one-year period, involved five surveys on 13 selected sampling stations and two surveys following the floats along the river Arno and its plume. The results refer to the total concentration of the above metals in the water phase after filtration. The content of Cu, Pb and Cd was always found to be higher than in the reference station (about 8 km offshore), generally reaching maximum values around the mouths of the rivers. Concentrations exceeding the minimal risk concentration were observed in the case of Cd. As for Cr, its concentration was always below the detection limit of the analytical method used. Rivers thus appear to be the main sources of coastal metal pollution.By the samplings carried out along the river Arno and its plume (involving 3–5 km from the mouth), it was found that the dilution model represents the concentration pattern for Cu and Pb fairly well over a large range of salinity.  相似文献
