Mechanism and kinetics of aluminum dissolution during copper sorption by acidity paddy soil in South China

Soil aggregates were prepared from a bulk soil collected from paddy soil in the Taihu Lake region and aluminum(Al) dissolution, solution p H changes during copper(Cu2+) sorption were investigated with static sorption and magnetic stirring. Kinetics of Cu2+sorption and Al dissolution were also studie...

Summary:Soil aggregates were prepared from a bulk soil collected from paddy soil in the Taihu Lake region and aluminum(Al) dissolution, solution p H changes during copper(Cu2+) sorption were investigated with static sorption and magnetic stirring. Kinetics of Cu2+sorption and Al dissolution were also studied by magnetic stirring method. No Al dissolution was observed until Cu2+sorption was greater than a certain value, which was 632, 450, 601 and674 mg/kg for sand, clay, silt, and coarse silt fractions, respectively. Aluminum dissolution increased with increasing Cu2+sorption and decreasing solution p H. An amount of dissolved Al showed a significant positive correlation with non-specific sorption of Cu2+(R2〉 0.97), and it was still good under different p H values(R2〉 0.95). Copper sorption significantly decreased solution p H. The magnitude of solution p H decline increased as Cu2+sorption and Al dissolution increased. The sand and clay fraction had a less Al dissolution and p H drop due to the higher ferric oxide, Al oxide and organic matter contents. After sorption reaction for half an hour, the Cu2+sorption progress reached more than 90% while the Al dissolution progress was only 40%, and lagged behind the Cu2+sorption. It indicated that aluminum dissolution is associated with non-specific sorption.
