Geochemical behaviour of heavy metals in sludge effluents and solid deposits on the Zambian Copperbelt: Implication for effluent treatment and sludge reuse.

[PMID: 33477054 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.144342] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2020] [Revised: 11/19/2020] [Accepted: 12/05/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Sludge effluents and solid deposits generated from the conventional lime treatment processes on the Zambian Copperbelt have led to reports of copper (Cu) and cobalt (Co) contamination into the nearby water bodies. To better understand the behaviour of the metals; partitioning, adsorption and their specific binding forms were studied through sequential extraction, batch adsorption experiments and surface complexation modeling (SCM). Results of mineral composition analyses indicated that micas, kaolinite, quartz and feldspar are abundant with hydrous ferric oxide (HFO) precipitates that formed as a result of the weathering of biotite grains existing as grain surface coating. Sequential extractionrevealed that Cu and Co metals are partitioned in the order of: exchangeable (F1: 600-1500 mg/kg Cu; 100-200 mg/kg Co), acid-soluble (F2: 2200-5500 mg/kg Cu; 190-220 mg/kg Co) and reducible fraction (F3: 2200-5500 mg/kg Cu; 260-300 mg/kg Co). Metals in F1 are hosted by kaolinite, F2 by both kaolinite and HFO whereas in F3 by dominantly HFO. Equal Cu concentration between F2 and F3 is due to both the limited amount of HFO (i.e. 5-10 g/kg) and desorption of loosely adsorbed Cu and Co metals to HFO surfaces. Batch adsorption experiments revealed adsorption as the dominant metal retention mechanism. According to modeling predictions, HFO sites are the dominant metal adsorption sites. At HFO site; >(s)FeOCo+, Co showed adsorption decrease from 40% in single system to 25% in binary system between pH 7 - 7.5 due to metal competition for adsorption sites. The high Cu concentration (i.e. 0.5-1.1% Cu) displaced low Co (i.e. 0.03-0.07% Co) concentration from the adsorption sites present in sludge, thus rendering Co mobile into the environment. To keep the adsorbed metals stable from release, optimal pH of 7.5 is suggested during treatment with lime. At this optimal pH, metals are decreased to below the regulation standard values and with less generation of voluminous sludge. Adsorbed Cu and Co can be recoverable from sludge through acid treatment at pH <3 based on sequential extraction results. The resultant metal-free sludge material has potential of been used as aggregate in construction.

Synthesis and Characterization of Na-Zeolites from Textile Waste Ash and Its Application for Removal of Lead (Pb) from Wastewater. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18073373. [PMID: 33805146 PMCID: PMC8037912 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18073373] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2020] [Revised: 02/24/2021] [Accepted: 03/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Massive production of carcinogenic fly ash waste poses severe threats to water bodies due to its disposal into drains and landfills. Fly ash can be a source of raw materials for the synthesis of adsorbents. Rag fly ash as a new class of raw materials could be a cheap source of Al and Si for the synthesis of Na-zeolites. In this work, NaOH activation, via a prefusion- and postfusion-based hydrothermal strategy, was practiced for the modification of rag fly ash into Na-zeolite. Morphology, surface porosity, chemical composition, functionality, mineral phases, and crystallinity, in conjunction with ion exchangeability of the tailored materials, were evaluated by SEM, ICP-OES, XRF, FTIR, XRD, and cation exchange capacity (CEC) techniques. Rag fly ash and the synthesized Na-zeolites were applied for the removal of Pb (II) from synthetic wastewater by varying the reaction conditions, such as initial metal ion concentration, mass of adsorbent, sorption time, and pH of the reaction medium. It was observed that Na-zeolite materials (1 g/100 mL) effectively removed up to 90–98% of Pb (II) ions from 100 mg/L synthetic solution within 30 min at pH ≈ 8. Freundlich adsorption isotherm favors the multilayer heterogeneous adsorption mechanism for the removal of Pb (II). It is reasonable to conclude that recycling of textile rag fly ash waste into value-added Na-zeolites for the treatment of industrial wastewater could be an emergent move toward achieving sustainable and green remediation.

Abstract
Clay-polymer nanocomposites (CPNs) have been studied for two decades as sorbents for water pollutants, but their applicability remains limited. Our aim in this review is to present the latest progress in CPN research using a meta-analysis approach and identify key steps necessary to bridge the gap between basic research and CPN application. Based on results extracted from 99 research articles on CPNs and 8 review articles on other widely studies sorbents, CPNs had higher adsorption capacities for several inorganic and organic pollutant classes (including heavy metals, oxyanions, and dyes, n = 308 observations). We applied principal component analysis, analysis of variance, and multiple linear regressions to test how CPN and pollutant properties correlated with Langmuir adsorption model coefficients. While adsorption was, surprisingly, not influenced by mineral properties, it was influenced by CPN fabrication method, polymer functional groups, and pollutant properties. For example, among the pollutant classes, heavy metals had the highest adsorption capacity but the lowest adsorption affinity. On the other hand, dyes had high adsorption affinities, as reflected by the linear correlation between adsorption affinity and pollutant molecular weight. Scaling from 'basic research' to 'technological application' requires testing CPN performance in real water, application in columns, comparison to commercial sorbents, regeneration, and cost evaluation. However, our survey indicates that of the 158 observations, only 20 compared the CPN's performance to that of a commercial sorbent. We anticipate that this review will promote the design of smart and functional CPNs, which can then evolve into an effective water treatment technology.

Change in the site density and surface acidity of clay minerals by acid or alkali spills and its effect on pH buffering capacity. Sci Rep 2019; 9:9878.

Abstract
Changes in the site density and surface acidity constants (i.e. pKa1 and pKa2) of kaolinite and montmorillonite were determined after acid or alkali spills, and pH buffering capacity was evaluated as a parameter of soil function change. Surface complexation modeling with potentiometric titrations and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy showed that acid or alkali spills did not significantly change the surface properties of kaolinite. In montmorillonite, however, acid spills decreased the basal site density from 832 to 737 mmol kg−1 by dissolving substituted octahedral cations and decreased pKa2 from 7.32 to 5.42 by dissolving SiOH. In response to alkali spills, the basal site density increased to 925 mmol kg−1, and the edge site density increased from 84.8 to 253 mmol kg−1 due to AlOH and SiOH formation; thus, pKa2 decreased to 6.78. The pH buffering capacity of acid- or alkali-spilled kaolinite at pH 6 did not significantly change, while that of acid- or alkali-spilled montmorillonite increased from 30.3 to 35.9 and 56.0 mmol kg−1, respectively. Our results indicate that these spills greatly altered the surface properties of montmorillonite, but unexpectedly, increased the pH buffering capacity of montmorillonite.

Abstract
A physiscochemical model is presented for the reactive-transport of chemical scpecies through a contaminated soil during an acid-enhanced electrokinetic remediation treatment. Numerical simulations in the specific case of the removal of cadmium and lead from spiked kaolinite, compared with experimental results from the literature. The reactive-transport based on the local chemical equilibrium assumption, including a surface complexation to model the adsorption of cations (metals and protons). Comparison of simulation results show different beavior of the target metals, as cadmium is mainly retaind by surface interaction while lead is retained by precipitation of a solid phase.

Relationship between geosorbent properties and field-based partition coefficients for pesticides in surface water and sediments of selected agrarian catchments: Implications for risk assessment.

Abstract
Studies on pesticide behavior, adsorption-likelihood, and bioavailability vis-a-vis geosorbent properties and seasons, are critical for understanding pesticide-fate and risks in pesticide-prone environments. We examined the relationship between geosorbent profiles of sediments (percentage sand, silt, clay, organic carbon content) across seasons and occurrence of pesticide residues in surface water and sediment of agricultural catchments at Owan, Ogbesse and Illushi communities of Edo State, Nigeria. Pesticide concentrations were measured monthly in samples of surface water and sediments across the selected sites for 18-months. Pesticide behavior and sorption-likelihoods were examined using partition coefficients Kd (sediment-water coefficient), Koc (sediment-water coefficient normalized for organic carbon) and Log Kow (octane-water coefficient); the relationship between Kd and Koc was also examined. Results of the principal component analysis (PCA) indicated that pesticide levels in sediment and surface water were positively associated with the rainy season, total organic content (TOC), percentage silt and clay in sediment. Field-derived pesticide partition coefficients (Kd < 100 and log Koc < 3) indicated that pesticide species were largely mobile and less likely to be retained in sediments by adsorption. As such, pesticides irrespective of solubility would end up in surface water, increasing risks for pelagic biota and humans sourcing river water for domestic use. Values of Log Kow indicate that organochlorines including DDT, dieldrin, endrin and heptachlor epoxide portend significant bioaccumulation risks to humans and biota across sites. The relationship between Kd and Koc for each site fitted into a quadratic model; it depicted a biphasic behavior of pesticide adsorption and desorption to sediments revealing that concentration of organic carbon across study sites was a limiting factor determining the extent of pesticide adsorption. This study demonstrates that understanding pesticide mobility using field-based partition coefficients could give a clearer picture of pesticide risks to biota and human populations.

Abstract
Microbe-associated aluminum (Al) hydroxides occur naturally in aquatic and geologic environments and they might play a crucial role in the sequestration of trace metals because these composite solids comprise both reactive mineral and organic surface, but how they do it still remains unknown. Here we replicate Al hydroxide organo-mineral composite formation in soil and sediments by synthesising composites using Pseudomonas putida cells, during coprecipitation with Al hydroxide. Morphological and ATR-FTIR analysis show closely attached nano-sized Al hydroxides on the bacterial surface. For composites dominated by either bacteria or Al hydroxide, an enhanced metal adsorption is observed on the composites than on pure Al hydroxide at pH < 6. Cd uptake by the mainly Al mineral composite is approximately additive, i.e., the sum of the end-member metal adsorptivities, whereas that on the mainly bacteria composite is non-additive. This non-additive sorption is not only due to the blockage of surface reactive sorption sites, but more importantly the changes of surface charge when bacteria and Al mineral are interacted. EXAFS results show that Cd is predominately sorbed as a bidentate corner-sharing complex on the amorphous Al hydroxide surface and a carboxyl-binding on the bacterial surface. This study has important implications for understanding both Al and trace metal cycling in microbe-rich geologic environments.

Abstract
Chitosan was chemically functionalized with poly(diethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDEAEMA) using a grafting to approach to produce a CO₂-responsive material for adsorbing metals from wastewater streams. A need for improved economical and greener approaches to recover heavy metals from wastewater streams exists due to increasing resource scarcity. Chitosan is currently used as an adsorbent for heavy metals but suffers from some properties that can be disadvantageous to its effectiveness; it is difficult to effectively disperse in water (which limits available surface area) and to regenerate. We set out to improve its effectiveness by grafting CO₂-responsive tertiary amine containing polymers onto the chitosan backbone, with the goals of preparing and assessing a new type of adsorbent based on a novel concept; using carbon dioxide switchable polymers to enhance the performance of chitosan. PDEAEMA chains prepared by nitroxide-mediated polymerization were grafted onto chitosan functionalized with glycidyl methacrylate. In carbonated water, the grafted chitosan displayed improved dispersibility and exhibited a Ni(II) adsorption capacity higher than several other chemically functionalized chitosan variants reported in the literature with the regenerated material having a higher capacity than all physical and chemical derivatives reported in the literature. The results of this study validate the continued development of this material for applications in heavy metal removal and recovery from wastewater streams.

Abstract
High carbonate content of the European Kupferschiefer ore deposits is a challenge for acid copper leaching (pH ≤ 2). Therefore investigating the mobility behavior of Cu(II) under conditions related to an alternative, neutrophil biohydrometallurgical Cu(II) leaching approach is of interest. As glutamic acid (Glu) might be present as a component in the growth media, we studied its effects on the adsorption of Cu(II) onto kaolinite. The binary and ternary batch sorption measurements of Cu(II) and Glu onto kaolinite were performed in the presence of 10 mM NaClO4 as background electrolyte and at a pH range from 4 to 9. Sorption experiments were modeled by the charge-distribution multi-site ion complexation (CD-MUSIC) model by using single sorption site (≡SOH) and monodentate surface complexation reactions. Glu sorption on kaolinite is weak (<10%) and independent of pH. Furthermore, Glu slightly enhances the Cu(II) sorption at low pH but strongly hinders (up to 50%) the sorption at higher pH and therewith enhances copper mobility. The results of isotherms show that Cu(II)-Glu sorption onto kaolinite mimics the Freundlich model. The proposed CD-MUSIC model provides a close fit to the experimental data and predicts the sorption of Cu(II), Cu(II)-Glu and Glu onto kaolinite as well as the effect of Glu on Cu(II) mobility.

Abstract
High quality zeolite A was synthesized through a hydrothermal process using alkaline-assisted pre-activated halloysite mineral as the alumina and silica source. The synthesis conditions employed in this study were finely tuned by varying the activating temperature, sodium hydroxide content, water content and Si/Al ratio. The obtained zeolite A showed excellent adsorption properties for both single metal cation solutions and mixed cation solutions when the concentrations of the mixed cations were comparable with those in polluted natural river water and industrial wastewater. High adsorptive capacities for Ag+ (123.05mg/g) and Pb2+ (227.70mg/g) were achieved using the synthesized zeolite A. This observation indicates that the zeolite A synthesized from alkaline-assisted pre-activated halloysite can be used as a low-cost and relatively effective adsorbent to purify heavy metal cation polluted natural river water and industrial wastewater.

Abstract
In this study, we quantify zinc isotope fractionation during its sorption onto kaolinite, by performing experiments under various pH, ionic strength, and total Zn concentrations. A systematic enrichment in heavy Zn isotopes on the surface of kaolinite was measured, with Δ(66)Znadsorbed-solution ranging from 0.11‰ at low pH and low ionic strength to 0.49‰ at high pH and high ionic strength. Both the measured Zn concentration and its isotopic ratio are correctly described using a thermodynamic sorption model that considers two binding sites: external basal surfaces and edge sites. Based on this modeling approach, two distinct Zn isotopic fractionation factors were calculated: Δ(66)Znadsorbed-solution = 0.18 ± 0.06‰ for ion exchange onto basal sites, and Δ(66)Znadsorbed-solution = 0.49 ± 0.06‰ for specific complexation onto edge sites. These two distinct factors indicate that Zn isotope fractionation is dominantly controlled by the chemical composition of the solution (pH, ionic strength).

Abstract
Electrolytic manganese solid waste (EMSW) is a by-product of electrolytic manganese production and generally contains a high concentration of soluble Mn(II) (2000-3000 mg/L). Millions of tons of EMSW are stored in China, and the environmental pollution caused by manganese in this waste product is concerning. Unfortunately, little attention has been paid to the immobilization of manganese from industrial solid waste because manganese is absent from toxicological identification standards, and there is a lack of relevant quality standards in China. The objectives of this study were to immobilize soluble Mn(II) using chemical reagents, to analyze the immobilization mechanism, and to identify the most economical reagents. We investigated the immobilization degrees of soluble Mn(II) achieved by the reagents quicklime (CaO), carbonates (NaHCO₃ and Na₂CO₃), phosphates (Na₃PO₄, Na₂HPO₄, NH₄H₂PO₄, and Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)₂), and caustic magnesia (MgO) both individually and in combination. Our results showed that the use of 9% CaO+ 5% NaHCO₃, 9% CaO+ 5% Na₃PO₄, 10% MgO alone, or with 1-5% NaHCO₃ or 1-5% Na₂CO₃ can reduce the amount of Mn(II) leached to 100 mg/kg when the eluate pH was in the range of 6-9. The most economical reagent treatments were determined using K-means cluster analysis. Analysis of the immobilization mechanism showed that CaO + NaHCO₃ may be favorable for immobilizing soluble Mn(II) as precipitation and oxidation products because the addition of NaHCO₃ releases OH(-) and buffers the system.

Abstract
Two different methods to obtain silver nanoparticles supported on kaolin crystals have been performed: the first one followed a thermal reduction and the second one a chemical reduction. In both cases, the silver nanoparticles with two different average particles size (ca.12 and 30 nm) were perfectly isolated and attached to the surface of the kaolin plates. The silver nanoparticles were localized mainly at the edge of the single crystal plates, the hydroxyl groups being the main centres of adsorption. The samples were fully characterized by XRD, UV-vis spectroscopy and TEM. The antimicrobial benefits of the composites were evaluated as antibacterial against common Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and antifungal activity against yeast. The results indicated a high antimicrobial activity for Escherichia coli JM 110 and Micrococcus luteus, while being inactive against yeast under our experimental conditions. The chemical analysis of Ag in the fermentation broths show that only a small portion of metal (<9 ppm) is released from the kaolin/metakaolin particles. Therefore, the risk of toxicity due to a high concentration of metal in the medium is minimized.

Abstract
The objective of the present investigation was to explore the sorption behaviour of manganese-coated samples of calcined starfish (MCCSF) (i.e. the impregnation of calcined starfish with manganese) for the removal of low levels of an important heavy metal toxic ion, Mn(II), from aqueous solutions. The suitability of this solid was further compared with two different samples of manganese-coated sands (MCS): MCS4 and MCS9 impregnated at pH 4.0 and pH 9.0, respectively. These comparative studies were performed in both batch and column experiments. Batch data indicated that a fairly good stability of the coating was obtained for these three samples in the pH region 2.5 to 10.0. The removal efficiency of MCCSF was fairly good in comparison with the MCS4 and MCS9 samples. These last two samples possessed similar Mn(II) removal capacities. Moreover, a small dose of sodium hypochlorite further enhanced the uptake of Mn(II) by these solids. The sorbate concentration dependence data fitted reasonably well to the Freundlich adsorption isotherm. The column data indicated that MCCSF possessed a relatively higher adsorption capacity compared with the MCS4 and MCS9 samples. The breakthrough curves obtained were then used to evaluate the apparent removal capacity of these solids under the dynamic conditions using the Thomas equation. The SEM images obtained for these manganese-coated solids along with the virgin base materials, i.e. sand and calcined starfish, showed that manganese oxides occupied the surfaces or pores of the base materials and formed clusters on the base surface.

Abstract
To evaluate the involvement of cation exchange in the competitive and separate sorption and retention of Cu(2+), Cd(2+) and Pb(2+) by soils developing from a copper mine spoil, and to determine the effects of sludge and barley straw treatment on the intensity and reversibility of sorption and retention, isotherms were constructed by means of batch sorption/desorption experiments in which displaced Ca(2+), Mg(2+), K(+) and Al(3+) were also determined. Amendment with sludge and barley straw was associated with an increase in pH of about 4 units; approximately 75-, 1900- and 55-fold increases in CEC(e), organic matter content and Mn oxides content, respectively; and greatly increased capacity for the sorption and retention of Pb, Cu and Cd. Most heavy metal sorption came about through displacement of the predominant cation in the exchange complex (Al(3+) in unamended soils, and Ca(2+) in amended soils), but the greater total sorption from multi-metal solutions also involved the displacement of other exchangeable cations. The parameter K(r) clearly reflected the lower sorption and retention capacities of unamended minesoils (K(r)<0.2 for all three metals, as against K(r) approximately 0.54 (Cd) or K(r)>0.97 (Pb and Cu) for amended minesoils); the competition for sorption sites in multi-metal solutions (for any given metal, the K(r) for single-metal solutions was invariably greater than the corresponding K(r) for multi-metal solutions); and the order of preference among metals for sorption and retention (Pb>Cd>or=Cu for sorption on unamended soils, which had virtually no organic matter, an important Cu-binding component; Pb>Cu>or=Cd otherwise). The values of the hysteresis index HI were likewise in agreement with previous results on the reversibility of the sorption of these metals, identifying Pb and Cd as the most and the least irreversibly sorbed metals, respectively. The amendment combination investigated successfully increased the immobilization of Pb, Cu and Cd by this minesoil, but a change in the amendment dosage is necessary in order to achieve near-neutral pH and minimize the predominance of Ca(2+) in the exchangeable cation complex.

Abstract
The objective of this work was to assess the sorption of copper (Cu) applied as a Cu-oxychloride metalaxyl formulation by soils characterized by anthropogenic accumulation of Cu due to agricultural activity. The methods involved batch incubation of soils with a Cu-oxychloride metalaxy-based fungicide suspended in 0.01 M CaCl(2), phase separation, and determination of the concentration of Cu (Cu) in solution. Results showed that specific soil properties influenced solubilization of the Cu from the fungicide. The amount of dissolved Cu depended on the soil pH, its potential acidity, and its cation exchange capacity. The amount of anthropogenic Cu in the soil had a minor influence on soluble Cu after the addition of the fungicide. Thus, Cu-based antifungal treatment can increase the local concentration of soluble Cu in acid soils but is not likely to affect the [Cu] in moderately acidic or neutral soils.

Abstract
Polluted and contaminated water can often contain more than one heavy metal species. It is possible that the behavior of a particular metal species in a solution system will be affected by the presence of other metals. In this study, we have investigated the adsorption of Cd(II), Cu(II), Pb(II), and Zn(II) onto basic oxygen furnace slag (BOF slag) in single- and multi-element solution systems as a function of pH and concentration, in a background solution of 0.01M NaNO(3). In adsorption edge experiments, the pH was varied from 2.0 to 13.0 with total metal concentration 0.84mM in the single element system and 0.21mM each of Cd(II), Cu(II), Pb(II), and Zn(II) in the multi-element system. The value of pH(50) (the pH at which 50% adsorption occurs) was found to follow the sequence Zn>Cu>Pb>Cd in single-element systems, but Pb>Cu>Zn>Cd in the multi-element system. Adsorption isotherms at pH 6.0 in the multi-element systems showed that there is competition among various metals for adsorption sites on BOF slag. The adsorption and potentiometric titrations data for various slag-metal systems were modeled using an extended constant-capacitance surface complexation model that assumed an ion-exchange process below pH 6.5 and the formation of inner-sphere surface complexes at higher pH. Inner-sphere complexation was more dominant for the Cu(II), Pb(II) and Zn(II) systems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The application of surface complexation models (SCMs) to natural sediments and soils is hindered by a lack of consistent models and data for large suites of metals and minerals of interest. Furthermore, the surface complexation approach has mostly been developed and tested for single solid systems. Few studies have extended the SCM approach to systems containing multiple solids. RESULTS Cu adsorption was measured on pure hydrous ferric oxide (HFO), pure kaolinite (from two sources) and in systems containing mixtures of HFO and kaolinite over a wide range of pH, ionic strength, sorbate/sorbent ratios and, for the mixed solid systems, using a range of kaolinite/HFO ratios. Cu adsorption data measured for the HFO and kaolinite systems was used to derive diffuse layer surface complexation models (DLMs) describing Cu adsorption. Cu adsorption on HFO is reasonably well described using a 1-site or 2-site DLM. Adsorption of Cu on kaolinite could be described using a simple 1-site DLM with formation of a monodentate Cu complex on a variable charge surface site. However, for consistency with models derived for weaker sorbing cations, a 2-site DLM with a variable charge and a permanent charge site was also developed. CONCLUSION Component additivity predictions of speciation in mixed mineral systems based on DLM parameters derived for the pure mineral systems were in good agreement with measured data. Discrepancies between the model predictions and measured data were similar to those observed for the calibrated pure mineral systems. The results suggest that quantifying specific interactions between HFO and kaolinite in speciation models may not be necessary. However, before the component additivity approach can be applied to natural sediments and soils, the effects of aging must be further studied and methods must be developed to estimate reactive surface areas of solid constituents in natural samples.

Abstract
Little spectroscopic evidence exists in the literature describing the surface complexation of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) on kaolinite, the dominant clay mineral present in highly weathered soils of tropical and humid climates. X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy data at the Cd K and Pb L(III) edges were collected on Cd- and Pb-sorbed kaolinite samples and compared to a suite of reference materials including Pb and Cd sorbed on amorphous (am-)gibbsite. Cadmium formed dominantly (>75%) outer sphere complexes on kaolinite and a small fraction of CdOHCl complexes. In contrast Cd adsorbed as an inner sphere complex on gibbsite, suggesting that the Si tetrahedral sheet hindered Cd sorption to the Al octahedral sheet on kaolinite. Lead formed polymeric complexes, which bonded to kaolinite via edge sharing with surface Al octahedra. Two distinct Pb-Al edge-sharing distances on am-gibbsite, as opposed to one on kaolinite, suggested a similar steric hindrance effect for the surface complexation of polymeric Pb complexes on kaolinite. The results of this study show that the Si tetrahedral sheet limited the surface complexation of Cd and Pb on kaolinite, elevating kaolinite's permanent negative charge properties in retaining these heavy metals at its surface.

Abstract
The sorption of Cr(III) from aqueous solutions on kaolinite has been studied by a batch technique. We have investigated how solution pH, ionic strength and temperature affect this process. The adsorbed amount of chromium ions on kaolinite has increased with increasing pH and temperature when it has decreased with increasing ionic strength. The sorption of Cr(III) on kaolinite is endothermic process in nature. Sorption data have been interpreted in terms of Freundlich and Langmuir equations. The adsorption isotherm was measured experimentally at different conditions, and the experimental data were correlated reasonably well by the adsorption isotherm of the Langmuir, and the isotherm parameters (q(m) and K) have been calculated as well. The enthalpy change for chromium adsorption has been estimated as 7.0 kJ mol(-1). The order of enthalpy of adsorption corresponds to a physical reaction.

Abstract
Sewage sludge and industrial waste oil sludge were pyrolyzed in an inert atmosphere at 650 or 950 degrees C, either as single components or as 50:50 mixtures. Composite materials were used as adsorbents of copper ions from aqueous solution. The capacity for copper removal was comparable to that of commercial activated carbon. To relate the performance of materials to their properties, the surface features were characterized using adsorption of nitrogen, thermal analysis, XRF, potentiometric titration, and elemental analysis. The results indicated that a high copper removal capacity could be linked to basic surface pH and specific compounds present on the surface. The high removal ability of materials obtained at 650 degrees C is attributed to cation exchange reactions between calcium and magnesium in aluminosilicates, formed on their surface during heat treatment, and copper. On the other hand, the high degree of mineralization of the surface of the materials obtained at 950 degrees C promotes copper complexation and its surface precipitation as hydroxides or hydroxylcarbonate entities.

Abstract
The fate of Zn and other sorbed heavy metals during microbial reduction of iron oxides is different when comparing synthetic Fe-(hydr)oxides and natural sediments undergoing a similar degree of iron reduction. Batch experiments with the iron-reducing organism Shewanella putrefaciens were conducted to examine the effects of an aqueous complexant (nitrilotriacetic acid or NTA), two solid-phase complexants (kaolinite and montmorillonite), an electron carrier (anthraquinone disulfonic acid or AQDS), and a humic acid on the speciation of Zn during microbial reduction of synthetic goethite. Compared to systems containing only goethite and Zn, microbial Fe(III) reduction in the presence of clay resulted in up to a 50% reduction in Zn immobilization (insoluble in a 2 h 0.5 M HCl extraction) without affecting Fe(II) production. NTA (3 mM) increased Fe(II) production 2-fold and resulted in recovery of nearly 75% of Zn in the aqueous fraction. AQDS (50 microM) resulted in a 12.5% decrease in Fe(II) production and a 44% reduction in Zn immobilization. Humic acid additions resulted in up to a 25% decrease in Fe(II) production and 51% decrease in Zn immobilization. The results suggest that all the components examined here as either complexing agents or electron shuttles reduce the degree of Zn immobilization by limiting the availability of Zn for incorporation into newly formed biogenic minerals. These results have implications for the remediation of heavy metals in a variety of natural sediments.

Abstract
Potentiometric titrations and lead sorption tests were conducted using muscovite, clinochlore, hematite, goethite, quartz, and a mixture of these same minerals. Mechanistic models were developed to represent and interpret these data. The aim was isolating the specific contribution of each mineral in proton and lead binding. Acid-base properties of each single mineral as well as their mixture were represented by discrete models, which consider the dissociation of n monoprotic sites (n-site/n-K(H) models). A one-site/one-K(H) model (logK(H1) = 10.69) was chosen for quartz (dissociation of SiOH edge hydroxyl groups). Goethite and hematite (FeOH groups) were represented by the same one-site/one-K(H) model (logK(H1) = 10.35). Three-site/three-K(H) models were used for muscovite (logK(H1) = 4.18; logK(H2) = 6.65; logK(H3) = 9.67) and clinochlore (logK(H1) = 3.84; logK(H2) = 6.57; logK(H3) = 9.71) assuming that SiOH and AlOH of the aluminosilicate matrix dissociate in the acid-neutral pH range while SiOH groups of quartz inclusions dissociate in the basic range. Similarly, the mixture of these minerals was represented by a three-site/three-K(H) model (logK(H1) = 3.39; logK(H2) = 6.72; logK(H3) = 10.82). According to crossed comparisons with single minerals, the first two sites of the mixture were associated with the aluminosilicate matrix (SiOH and AlOH respectively) and the third site with iron oxides (FeOH) and quartz groups. Additivity of proton binding in the mixture was demonstrated by simulating the mixture's titration curve. A unified model for the entire set of titration curves (single minerals and mixture) was also developed introducing a three-peak distribution function for proton affinity constants. Experimental data for lead sorption onto the mixture and individual minerals in 3-5 pH range denoted the competition between protons and metallic ions. The entire set of lead isotherms (individual mineral and mixture data) was represented adequately by a unified model taking into account both monodentate and bidentate complexes with the three active sites (additivity of lead binding). Experimental data of metal distribution in solid and liquid phases were successfully simulated by implementing the protonation and the surface complexation constants into the database of a dedicated software for chemical equilibria.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to explain how clay minerals adsorb heavy metals individually and in the presence of humic acid, and to model heavy metal adsorption specifically based on surface-metal binary and surface-metal-ligand ternary complexation. The adsorption of Cu(II) and Pb(II) on kaolinite-based clay minerals has been modeled by the aid of the FITEQL3.2 computer program using single- and double-site binding models of the Langmuir approach. Potentiometric titrations and adsorption capacity experiments were carried out in solutions containing different concentrations of the inert electrolyte NaClO4; however, the modeling of binary and ternary surface complexation was deliberately done at high ionic strength (0.1 M electrolyte) for eliminating adsorption onto the permanent negatively charged sites of kaolinite. A "two-site, two pKa" model was adapted, and as for the two surface sites responsible for adsorption, it may be arbitrarily assigned that [triple bond]S1OH sites represent silanol and organic functional groups such as carboxyl having pKa values close to that of silanol, and [triple bond]S2OH sites represent aluminol and organic functional groups such as phenolics whose pKa values are close to that of aluminol, as all the studied clays contained organic carbon. Copper(II) showed a higher adsorption capacity and higher binding constants, while lead(II), being a softer cation (in respect to HSAB theory) preferred the softer basic sites with aluminol-phenol functional groups. Heavy metal cations are assumed to bind to the clay surface as the sole (unhydrolyzed) M(II) ion and form monodentate surface complexes. Cu(II) and Pb(II) adsorption in the presence of humic acid was modeled using a double-site binding model by the aid of FITEQL3.2, and then the whole system including binary surface-metal and surface-ligand and ternary surface-metal-ligand complexes was resolved with respect to species distributions and relevant stability constants. Electrostatic effects were accounted for using a diffuse layer model (DLM) requiring minimum number of adjustable parameters. Metal adsorption onto clay at low pH increased in the presence of humic acid, and the metal adsorption vs pH curves of metal-kaolinite-humic acid suspensions were much steeper (and distinctly S shaped) compared to the wider pH-gradient curves observed in binary clay-metal systems. The clay mineral in the presence of humic acid probably behaved more like a chelating ion-exchanger sorbent for heavy metals rather than being a simple inorganic ion exchanger.

Abstract
Polluted and contaminated soils can often contain more than one heavy metal species. It is possible that the behavior of a particular metal species in a soil system will be affected by the presence of other metals. In this study we have investigated the adsorption of Cd(II), Cu(II), Pb(II), and Zn(II) onto kaolinite in single- and multi-element systems as a function of pH and concentration, in a background solution of 0.01 M NaNO3. In adsorption edge experiments, the pH was varied from 3.5 to 10.0 with total metal concentration 133.3 microM in the single-element system and 33.3 microM each of Cd(II), Cu(II), Pb(II), and Zn(II) in the multi-element system. The value of pH50 (the pH at which 50% adsorption occurs) was found to follow the sequence Cu<Zn<Pb<Cd in single-element systems, but Pb<Cu<Zn<Cd in the multi-element system. Adsorption isotherms at pH 6.0 in the multi-element systems showed that there is competition among various metals for adsorption sites on kaolinite. The adsorption and potentiometric titrations data for various kaolinite-metal systems were modeled using an extended constant-capacitance surface complexation model that assumed an ion-exchange process below pH 7.0 and the formation of inner-sphere surface complexes at higher pH. Inner-sphere complexation was more dominant for the Cu(II) and Pb(II) systems.

Abstract
In this study, the sorption behavior of Zn2+ on calcite, kaolinite, and clinoptilolite, in addition to mixtures of calcite with kaolinite and clinoptilolite, was investigated at various loadings and mixture compositions using atomic absorption spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared techniques. According to the obtained results, within the experimental operating conditions, the sorption capacity was enhanced with increasing amount of calcite in both types of mixtures. Under neutral-alkaline pH conditions and high loadings, the order of Zn2+ retention was observed as calcite>clinoptilolite>kaolinite. The experiments on the retention of Zn2+ by pure calcite under conditions of oversaturation showed that the uptake process proceeds via an initial adsorption mechanism (possibly ion-exchange type) followed by a slower mechanism that leads to the overgrowth of the hydrozincite phase, Zn5(OH)6(CO3)2.

Abstract
Bacterial abundance and production, free (uncomplexed) copper ion concentration, total dissolved copper concentration, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), total suspended solids (TSS), and chlorophyll a were measured over the course of 1 year in a series of 27 sample "Boxes" established within San Diego Bay. Water was collected through a trace metal-clean system so that each Box's sample was a composite of all the surface water in that Box. Bacterial production, chlorophyll a, TSS, DOC, and dissolved copper all generally increased from Box 1 at the mouth of the Bay to Box 27 in the South or back Bay. Free copper ion concentration generally decreased from Box 1 to Box 27 presumably due to increasing complexation capacity within natural waters. Based on correlations between TSS, chlorophyll a, bacterial production or DOC and the ratio of dissolved to free Cu ion, both DOC and particulate (bacteria and algae) fractions were potentially responsible for copper complexation, each at different times of the year. CuCl2 was added to bacterial production assays from 0 to 10 microg L(-1) to assess acute copper toxicity to the natural microbial assemblage. Interestingly, copper toxicity appeared to increase with decreases in free copper from the mouth of the Bay to the back Bay. This contrasts the free-ion activity model in which higher complexation capacity should afford greater copper protection. When cell-specific growth rates were calculated, faster growing bacteria (i.e. toward the back Bay) appeared to be more susceptible to free copper toxicity. The protecting effect of natural dissolved organic material (DOM) concentrated by tangential flow ultrafiltration (>1 kDa), illite and kaolinite minerals, and glutathione (a metal chelator excreted by algae under copper stress) was assessed in bacterial production assays. Only DOM concentrate offered any significant protection to bacterial production under increased copper concentrations. Although the potential copper protecting agents were allowed to interact with added copper before natural bacteria were added to production assays, there may be a temporal dose-response relationship that accounts for higher toxicity in short production assays. Regardless, it appears that effective natural complexation of copper in the back portions of San Diego Bay limits exposure of native bacterial assemblages to free copper ion, resulting in higher bacterial production.

Abstract
The surface complexation model was applied to simulate the competitive complexation of Ni, Ca and Al with humic substances. The presence of two types of binding sites in humic acid, carboxylic and phenolic functional groups, were assumed at both low and high pH conditions. Potentiometric titrations were used to characterize the intrinsic acidity constants of the two binding sites and their concentrations. It was found that the diffuse-layer model (DLM) could fit the experimental data well under different experimental conditions. Ni and Ca ions strongly compete with each other for reactions with the humic acid but Al showed little influence on the complexation of either Ni or Ca due to its hydrolysis and precipitation at pH approximately 5. The surface complexation constants determined from the mono-element systems were compared with those obtained from the multiple-element system (a mixture of the three metal ions). Results indicate little changes in the intrinsic surface complexation constants. Modeling results also indicate that high concentrations of Ca in the contaminated groundwater could strongly inhibit the complexation of Ni ions whereas an increase in pH and the humic concentration could attenuate such competitive interactions. The present study suggests that the surface complexation model could be useful in predicting interactions of the metal ions with humic substances and potentially aid in the design of remediation strategies for metal-contaminated soil and groundwater.

Abstract
Aggregation kinetics of kaolinite-fulvic acid colloids, as influenced by two strongly sorbing trace metal cations, Cu(II) and Pb(II), was investigated by time-resolved dynamic laser light scattering experiments. The effects of Cu and Pb on the aggregation rate and electrophoretic mobilitywere compared with that of Ca, another major divalent metal cation which is less strongly adsorbed. Kaolinite-fulvic acid suspensions (in 0.01 M NaNO3 at pH 4 and pH 6) were spiked with solutions containing Cu, Pb, or Ca to give total divalent cation concentrations between 10(-5) and 8 x 10(-3) M. The concentration of kaolinite was varied between 25 and 200 mg L(-1), while the concentration of fulvic acid ranged from 0.15 to 1.2 mg L(-1). The mass ratio of kaolinite to fulvic acid was kept constant at 500:3 in all experiments. Relative aggregation rates, expressed as attachment efficiency alpha, were determined from linear increases in average hydrodynamic radius with time during the first 5-8 min of the aggregation experiments, always starting with a well-dispersed suspension at time zero. The corresponding slope for fast aggregation (alpha = 1) was measured for pure kaolinite suspended in 0.01 M NaNO3 at pH 4. Addition of fulvic acid to the suspensions completely inhibited kaolinite aggregation at pH 4 and pH 6. Additions of Cu, Pb, and Ca resulted in strongly increased aggregation rates of the kaolinite-fulvic acid particles. The potential of the three cations to enhance aggregation of the kaolinite-fulvic acid colloids increased in the order Ca < Cu < or = Pb. At pH 4, the relationship between particle electrophoretic mobility and aggregation rate was the same for all three divalent metal cations. In the presence of Ca, an increase in pH from 4 to 6 resulted in decreased aggregation rates. However, in the presence of Cu or Pb, the opposite trend was observed and the relationship between electrophoretic mobility and aggregation rate was different than at pH 4. The effects of Cu, Pb, and Ca on the aggregation rates of kaolinite-fulvic acid colloids are explained by the different sorption behavior of the three divalent metal cations.

Abstract
Competitive sorption of protons, Cu, and Pb onto kaolinite (KGa-2) was investigated over wide concentration ranges and quantitatively described using three different models based on surface complexation and cation exchange reactions. In all models, two types of binding sites were assumed for kaolinite: edge sites (SOH0.5-) with pH-dependent charge and face sites (X-) with permanent negative charge. In a first step, proton sorption was measured by potentiometric acid-base titrations of kaolinite dispersed in 0.01, 0.03, and 0.1 M NaNO3 electrolyte solutions. The acid-base titration data were fitted to obtain site densities and protonation constants for the edge and face sites, respectively. In a second step, the sorption of Cu and Pb onto kaolinite was investigated at fixed pH values by metal titration using ion-selective electrodes for Cu2+ and Pb2+, respectively, and by independent batch sorption experiments. Our metal sorption data cover a range of pH 4-8 for Cu and pH 4-6 for Pb, three different ionic strengths (0.01, 0.03, and 0.1 M NaNO3), and up to eight orders of magnitude in free metal ion activity. An additional experiment was conducted to explore the sorption competition between Cu and Pb. In all three models, sorption of protons and metal cations to the edge sites of kaolinite was described with a 1-pK basic Stern (BS) approach. The three models differed only in the description of cation sorption to the face sites. In the first model (BS/GT), we used a Gaines-Thomas (GT) cation exchange equation for the face sites. This model yielded a satisfactory description of Cu sorption, but failed to describe Pb sorption isotherms at pH 4, 5, and 6. In the second model (BS/BS), we replaced the Gaines-Thomas equation by a basic Stern surface complexation formulation, thereby introducing electrostatic terms for sorption to face sites and allowing for free binding sites X-. This did not improve the fits of Cu or Pb sorption to kaolinite, however. In the third model (BS/BS(ext)), we extended the BS/BS-model by introducing additional monodentate sorption complexes at face sites (XCu+ and XPbNO3). This model described both Cu and Pb sorption very well over the entire range in metal concentrations and pH. It also correctly predicted the competitive effect of Pb on sorption of Cu. Model calculations with all three models suggested that Cu and Pb were sorbed mainly to face sites at low pH, while sorption to edge sites dominated at high pH values.

Abstract
Rectorite is a kind of rare clay mineral. In this work, the sorption of Cu(II) on Ca-rectorite and the effects of static magnetic fields on the sorption have been studied. The results from this study indicated that (1) apparent equilibrium for the sorption of copper onto Ca-rectorite is attained within the first hour; (2) magnetic treatment enhances the zeta potential of Ca-rectorite suspensions in the absence of Cu and reduces that of the suspension in the presence of Cu; (3) magnetic treatment promotes the sorption of Cu onto Ca-rectorite, especially at low Cu concentrations; (4) the effects of static magnetic fields decrease the pH of Ca-rectorite suspensions whether they contain copper or not. The effect mechanisms of static magnetic field on the sorption of Cu onto Ca-rectorite were discussed.
