Fourteen soil samples withvarying artificial contamination of Cu, Pb, Zn and Cd were prepared.Heavy metal pollution led to increases in retention capacity andmaximum buffering capacity (MBC) of soil P. The rate of P retentionwas also increased and the time to reach equilibrium was advanced byheavy metals addition.展开更多

Both of the methods showed that diffusions were the ratedetermining steps in the Cu ̄2+ adsorp-tion by the soils. By the flow method, the course of Cu ̄2+ adsorption kinetics consisted of two steps-sn initialrapid process and a later slow process of Cu ̄2+ adsorption; while by the batch method, the 90% of Cu ̄2+adsorption reaction was found to finish within first 1 minute. The results obtained using the flow method alsoindicated that for red soil and yellow-brown soil, Cu ̄2+ adsorptions during the initial reaction periods wererestrained when the soils sorbed phosphate, whereas the adsorption reactions were stimulated at the finaltime. For grey Chao soil, sorbed phosphate retarded the Cu ̄2+ adsorption in the whole reaction period. Theresults obtained using the batch method and flow techniques all implied that the different effects of sorbedphosphate would be attributed to its effects on Cu ̄2+ ion diffusion in soil solution.展开更多

Temperature also increased both values of X_m (the amount of ionadsorbed at equilibrium) and k (kinetica constant) of Pb ̄2+ and Cu ̄2+. The activation energies of Pb ̄2+ adsorption werekaolin-Mn >red soil>goethite and those of Cu ̄2+ were latosol> red soil > kaolin-Mn >goethite. For a given singlesample the activation energy of Cu ̄2+ was greater than that of Pb ̄2+. Raising ionic strength decreased the adsorptionof Pb ̄2+ and Cu ̄2+ by latosol, red soil and kaolinite coated with Mn oxide but increased Pb ̄2+ and Cu ̄2+ adsorption bygoethite. The contrary results could be explained by the different changes in ion forms of Pb ̄2+ or Cu ̄2+ and in surfacecbarge characteristics of latosol, red soil, kaolin-Mn and goethite. Increasing supporting electrolyte concentration in-creased X_m and k in goethite systems but decreased X_m and k in kaolin-Mn systems. All the time-dependent data fit-ted the surface second-order equation very well.展开更多

Problems associated with the cleanup of sites contaminated by metals have demonstrated the need to develop remediation technologies that are feasible, quick, and effective in a wide range of physical settings. In this study we have investigated the adsorption of Cu(lI), onto red soil in single and multi-element systems as a function of soil and heavy metal concentrations. Before contamination, soils were characterized to determine particle size, pH, organic matter content and heavy metal contents. The results of experimental sorption data fitted very well the Freundlich isotherm model with n = 1.4 and k = 1.25 and first order kinetics model. The best pH for adsorption of Cu^2+ on red soil was found to be 4.0. Adsorption of metals on soil increased in the order Cu 〉 Pb 〉 Zn ≈ Cd. This trend might be related to the increase in the electronegativity of the metal ion.展开更多

In this study, the kinetics of Cu2+sorption by the bulk soil and the aggregate size fractions of an acidic paddy soil collected from the Taihu Lake region, the effects of temperature on Cu2+sorption, and the p H changes of the solution were investigated by static sorption and magnetic stirring. The aggregate size fractions were prepared by low-energy ultrasonic dispersing and freeze-drying. The total sorption amounts of the bulk soil and the aggregate size fractions for Cu2+followed a descending order of clay > coarse sand > bulk soil > silt> sand, corresponding to those of organic matter content, free iron oxide content, free aluminum oxide content, and cation exchange capacity. The kinetic sorption curves of Cu2+by the bulk soil and the aggregates, which were divided into two stages(rapid and slow sequentially), were well fitted by the first-order equation, the diffusion equation, and the Elovich equation, showing significant correlations(P < 0.05). Specific and non-specific sorption dominated in the fast and slow stages, respectively, and the former was predominant throughout the sorption process. The specific sorption accelerated and the non-specific sorption decelerated with rising temperature. The p H of the solution decreased significantly during the specific sorption and remained unchanged or increased slightly during the non-specific sorption. When the specific sorption terminated, the p H of the solution was minimized nearly simultaneously.The sorption progress of Cu2+by the bulk soil significantly preceded that by the aggregates. Therefore, heavy metal contamination may be another factor reducing soil p H and metal sorption forms should be taken into consideration in studies of mitigating soil heavy metal pollution or determining environmental capacity of heavy metal in soil.展开更多
