Cadmium is a toxic metal with high reactivity in acid variable charge soils. Adsorption and desorption of Cd2+ in soil and mineral particles can be affected by the interaction between the electrical double layers on oppositely charged particles, because the interaction can decrease the surface-charge density of the particles. We studied the effect of Fe/Al oxides on desorption of Cd2+ from soils and minerals and proposed the desorption mechanisms based on the overlapping of diffuse layers between negatively charged soils and mineral particles and positively charged Fe/Al oxide particles. Our results indicate that the overlapping of diffuse layers of electrical double layers between positively charged Fe/Al oxides [crystalline and amorphous Al(OH)3 and amorphous Fe(OH)3] and negatively charged Ultisol, Alfisol, kaolinite, and bentonite caused the effective negative surface-charge density on the soils and minerals to become less negative, and thus the adsorption affinity of these negatively charged surfaces for Cd2+ declined as a result of the incorporation of the Fe/Al oxides. Consequently, the release of exchangeable Cd2+ from the surfaces of the soils and minerals increased with the amount of Fe/Al oxides added. The more positive the charge on the surfaces of the Fe/Al oxides, the stronger the interaction of the electrical double layers between the oxides and soils and minerals, and thus the greater the release of Cd2+ from the soils and minerals. A decrease in pH led to an increase in the positive surface charge on the Fe/Al oxides and enhancement of the interaction of the electrical double layers between the oxides and soils and minerals. As a result, more Cd2+ was desorbed from the soils and minerals. This study suggests that the interaction between oppositely charged particles of variable charge soils can enhance the mobility of cadmium in the soils and thus increase its environmental risk.

The different desorption concepts of the two polyelectrolytes PTMA5M and PTMC5M, which have similar molecular weights and differ in the charge density on the polystyrene sulfate latex (PSL) particles by 25 times, and with various charge densities in a long incubation, were systematically investigated based on hydrodynamic adsorbed layer thickness (δH) and electrophoretic mobility (EPM) under two ionic strengths in the present study. Herein, in the case of highly charged polyelectrolyte PTMA5M, desorption continued for 4 h and re-adsorbing proceeded after a longer incubation time higher than 4 h. Meanwhile, in the case of lowly charged polyelectrolyte PTMC5M, an adsorption–desorption equilibrium was suggested to take into account the unchanging of both δH and EPM.
