Sorption Curve

AbstractStudies comparing numerous sorption curve models and different error functions are lacking completely for soil-metal adsorption systems. We aimed to fill this gap by studying several isotherm models and error functions on soil-metal systems with different sorption curve types. The combination of fifteen sorption curve models and seven error functions were studied for Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn in competitive systems in four soils with different geochemical properties. Statistical calculations were carried out to compare the results of the minimizing procedures and the fit of the sorption curve models. Although different sorption models and error functions may provide some variation in fitting the models to the experimental data, these differences are mostly not significant statistically. Several sorption models showed very good performances (Brouers-Sotolongo, Sips, Hill, Langmuir-Freundlich) for varying sorption curve types in the studied soil-metal systems, and further models can be suggested for certain sorption curve types. The ERRSQ error function exhibited the lowest error distribution between the experimental data and predicted sorption curves for almost each studied cases. Consequently, their combined use could be suggested for the study of metal sorption in the studied soils. Besides testing more than one sorption isotherm model and error function combination, evaluating the shape of the sorption curve and excluding non-adsorption processes could be advised for reliable data evaluation in soil-metal sorption system.

Abstract Purpose The close association of Fe-oxyhydroxides and clay minerals might influence the sorption properties of these components. We aimed to study the effect of removing the pedogenic Fe-oxyhydroxides on the sorption of Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn by the clay mineral particles in soils with contrasting pH. Methods Competitive batch sorption experiments before and after Fe-oxyhydroxide extraction in soils were carried out together with the direct analysis of the metal sorption on individual particles of ferrihydrite, smectite, and illite/smectite by TEM. Results Ferrihydrite was a more effective metal sorbent than clay minerals, although its removal resulted in decreased sorption only for Cd, Cu, and Zn. Ferrhydrite coating blocked metals’ access for certain sorption sites on clay surfaces, which were only accessible for Pb as the most efficient competitor after removing the coating. This observation was the most remarkable for the smectite particles in the alkaline soil. Mineral surfaces sorbed higher Cu than Pb concentrations and higher Zn than Cd concentrations despite the former metals’ lower bulk sorption. Thus, organic surfaces and precipitation contributed to Pb and Cd’s retention to a greater extent than for Cu and Zn. The structural Fe of smectite also promoted the metal sorption in both soils. Conclusion Removal of iron-oxyhydroxide coatings from the soil affects metal sorption selectively. Direct study of metal sorption on individual soil particles enables us to gain a more in-depth insight into soil minerals’ role in this process.

Maximum Sorption Capacity

Abstract Metal sorption capacity of the granulated biosorbent derived from the waste biomass of Penicillium chrysogenum was examined. The potential metal sorption abilities of the biosorbent were estimated as the cation-exchange capacity, using a potentiometric titration. The total binding capacity, calculated for the pH range 3 to 8 was about 511 µeq/g dry weight. The granular biosorbent was capable of Cd, Zn, Cu and Pb binding. The kinetics of the heavy metal sorption were typical of the microbial dead biomass; metals were bound in the first few minutes. Sorption was a saturable process and the maximum sorption capacity, calculated from the Langmuir equation for the particular heavy metals was: 96 mg Pb; 21.5 mg Cd; 13 mg Zn and 11.7 mg Cu (per g dry weight). Optimum pH values for Cd, Zn and Cu sorption were about 7, while for Pb about 6. Heavy metal removal from different solutions was examined using the biosorption columns packed with P. chrysogenum, which efficiently removed Cd from 1 mM Cd solution, or Cd and Zn from the industrial wastewater. The studied biosorbent was capable of accumulating Cd and Zn even at the high Ca concentration.
