摘要
Adsorption of metals from aqueous solution onto oxide and other surfaces is known to affect trace metal transport in many natural and engineered systems. It is therefore important to understand whether dissolved metal inputs will be easily bound to particles or will be strongly complexed in solution and transported with the water phase. The effect of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), representing a model compound for natural organic matter, on the adsorption of Cd(ll) onto gamma -Al2O3 was determined using batch adsorption experiments over a pH range from 4 to 10. Initially, interactions among the individual components were evaluated. Cadmium adsorption onto alumina showed a typical S-shaped metal adsorption curve. PAA adsorption onto gamma -Al2O3 decreased with increase in pH. The-affinity of PAA for Cd2+ increased strongly with pH. In ternary systems, the presence of PAA resulted in an enhancement of Cd(II) adsorption below pH 6, apparently due to ternary surface complex formation. Above pH 6, a decrease in cadmium adsorption onto gamma -Al2O3 was observed resulting from an increase in the concentration of soluble Cd-PAA complexes. Overall, results indicate that the presence of natural organic matter could have a significant impact on the distribution and mobility of cadmium in the environment. Simple surface complexation modeling was insufficient to describe behavior in the ternary systems due to the complexity of the PAA polymer.
