The results indicated that the amount of adsorbed Pb^2+ increased with the increase of Mn AOS in birnessites. The amount of Pb〉 adsorbed positively correlated with the amount of released Mn^2+, H^+, and K^+ (r = 0.9962 〉 0.6614, n = 14, ct = 0.01). The released Mn^2+, H^+, and K^+ were derived mostly from the corresponding cations adsorbed on the vacant sites. The maximum amount of adsorbed Pb^2+ increased with the increasing vacant cation sites, leading to an increase of the total amount of released Mn^2+, H^+, and K^+, and the increased likelihood for two Pb^2+ adsorbed in the region of one side of a vacant site.展开更多
