Lead adsorption capacities of different components in natural surface coatings

Abstract： Pb adsorption capacities of Fe oxide, Mn oxide and organic materials in natural surface coatings( biofilms and associated minerals) collected in three lakes, two ponds and a river in Jilin Province, China and Cayuga Lake in US were studied. A novel extraction technique was employed to remove one or more component(s) from the surface coatings. Pb adsorption to surface coatings before and after extraction was performed to determine the adsorptive properties of the extracted component(s). The statistical analysis of observed Pb adsorption was carried out using nonlinear least squares fitting(NLSF) to estimate the Pb adsorption capacity of each component of surface coatings. For each body of water, the estimated Pb adsorption capacity of Mn oxide(mol Pb/mol Mn) was significantly higher than that of Fe oxide( mol Pb/ mol Fe). The value of estimated adsorption capacities of organic materials with the unit mol Pb per kg COD was similar to or less than that of Fe oxides with the unit mol Pb per mol Fe. Comparison of components of surface coatings in different waters showed that the estimated Pb adsorption capacities of components in surface coatings developed in different natural waters were different,especially for Mn oxides. 作 者： DONG De-ming    HUA Xiu-yi    LI Yu    JI Liang    ZHANG Jing-jing   作者單位： College of Environment and Resources, Jilin University, Changchun 130023, China  期 刊： 環(huán)境科學(xué)學(xué)報(英文版)  ISTICSCI   Journal： JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES  年，卷(期)： 2004, 16(1)  分類號： X131  Keywords： surface coatings    iron oxide    manganese oxide    organic material
