Competitive interaction between soil-derived humic acid and phosphate on goethite

چکیده
In order to better understand the influence and mechanism of soil-derived humic acid (SHA) on adsorption of P onto particles in soils, the amounts of PO4 adsorbed by synthetic goethite (a-FeOOH) were determined at different concentrations of SHA, pH, ionic strength and order of addition of adsorbents. Addition of SHA can significantly reduce the amount of PO4 adsorption as much as 27.8%. Both generated electrostatic field and competition for adsorption sites were responsible for the mechanism by which SHA inhibited adsorption of PO4 by goethite. This conclusion was supported by measurement of total organic C (TOC), infrared spectral features and Zeta potential. Adsorption of PO4 onto goethite was inversely proportional to pH. Order of addition of PO4 and SHA can influence adsorption of PO4 as follows: prior addition of PO4 P simultaneous addition > prior addition of SHA. Iron and SHA apparently form complexes due to prior addition of SHA. Observations made during this study emphasized that PO4 forms different types of complexes on the surface of goethite at different pH, which dominated the interaction of SHA and PO4 adsorption on goethite. Based on these observations, the possible modes of SHA inhibition of PO4 adsorption on goethite were proposed. 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

متن کاملA computational study of the interaction of organic surfactants with goethite α-FeO(OH) surfaces
We have studied the adsorption of three organic molecules onto different surfaces of goethite a-FeO(OH) using atomistic simulation techniques. New interatomic potentials for the interaction between goethite and the organic molecules were developed. In the majority of cases the organic molecules were found to be capable of forming a coordinate bond via their carbonyl oxygen atom with a surface i...

The study of Pb(II) binding to the system humic acid/goethite in acidic medium is reported in the present paper. From a macroscopic point of view, we have constructed the experimental sorption isotherms (using atomic absorption spectroscopy) and compared them with the prediction of the additivity rule. It is found that this system presents positive deviations, that is, the amount sorbed is abou...
