چکیده

The sorption and desorption of Pb on RuO2.xH2O were examined kinetically and thermodynamically via spectroscopic and macroscopic investigations. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) was employed to determine the sorption mechanism with regard to identity and interaction of nearest atomic neighbors, bond distances (R), and coordination numbers (N). The kinetics of the Pb-Ru-oxide sorption reaction are rapid with the equilibrium loading of Pb on the surface achieving approximately 1:1 wt/wt (129 micromol m(-2)). XAS data indicate that Pb adsorbed as bidentate innersphere complexes with first shell Pb-O parameters of RPb-O = 2.27 A and NPb-O = 2.1-2.5. Pb-Ru interatomic associations suggest two distinct bidentate surface coordinations of Pb to edges (RPb-RuI approximately 3.38 A, NPb-RuI approximately 1.0) and shared corners (RPb-RuII approximately 4.19 A, NPb-RuII approximately 0.8) on RuO2 octahedra (cassiterite-like structure), and an additional second neighbor backscattering of Pb indicates the formation of Pb-Pb dimers (RPb-Pb degrees 3.89 A, NPb-Pb approximately 0.9). Desorption studies as a function of aging time (1 h to 1 year) using a continuous stirred-flow reactor with a background electrolyte (0.01 M NaNO3, pH 6) demonstrated that Pb was tightly bound (99.7-99.9% retained). The Pb sorption capacity and retention on RuO2.xH2O is greater than that of other metal oxides examined in the literature. The results of this study imply that RuO2.xH2O may serve as a high capacity remediation treatment media.

Lead sorption onto ferrihydrite. 1. A macroscopic and spectroscopic assessment.

In this research, traditional macroscopic studies were complemented with XAS analyses to elucidate the mechanisms controlling Pb(II) sorption onto ferrihydrite as a function of pH, ionic strength, and adsorbate concentrations. Analyses of XANES and XAFS studies demonstrate that Pb(II) ions predominantly sorb onto ferrihydrite via inner-sphere complexation, not retaining their primary hydration ...

Mechanisms of Arsenic Adsorption on Amorphous Oxides Evaluated Using Macroscopic Measurements, Vibrational Spectroscopy, and Surface Complexation Modeling.

Arsenic adsorption on amorphous aluminum and iron oxides was investigated as a function of solution pH, solution ionic strength, and redox state. In this study in situ Raman and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic methods were combined with sorption techniques, electrophoretic mobility measurements, and surface complexation modeling to study the interaction of As(III) and As(V) with...

Competitive sorption of Ni and Zn at the aluminum oxide/water interface: an XAFS study

Trace metals (e.g. Ni, Zn) leached from industrial and agricultural processes are often simultaneously present in contaminated soils and sediments. Their mobility, bioavailability, and ecotoxicity are affected by sorption and cosorption at mineral/solution interfaces. Cosorption of trace metals has been investigated at the macroscopic level, but there is not a clear understanding of the molecul...

Molecular scale assessment of methylarsenic sorption on aluminum oxide.

Methylated forms of arsenic (As), monomethylarsenate (MMA) and dimethylarsenate (DMA), have historically been used as herbicides and pesticides. Because of their large application to agriculture fields and the toxicity of MMA and DMA, the sorption of methylated As to soil constituents requires investigation. MMA and DMA sorption on amorphous aluminum oxide (AAO) was investigated using both macr...
