SOLUBILITY OF PARTICULATE CADMIUM SULFIDE AT pH = 1-14: A RADIOTRACER STUDY
نویسنده
چکیده
Cadmium sulfide particles were prepared by precipitation from acid solution. A radiotracer technique with 109Cd was applied tomeasure the solubili W of cadmium sulfide at various pH's. Filtration, centrifugation, ulttacentrifugation, and dialysis were used to separate the particles from the solution. Only the last two techniques proved to be successful. The solubility of cadmium sulfide in water (pH = 7) is found to be: 7.9. 10a tool 9 1-1 in contrast with the literature value of 9 .0 . 10 -a tool. 1 -~ . At low pH (1-4), the solubility agrees fairly well with the solubiliW calculated on the basis of generally accepted values for the solubility product and for the various complex formation constants, while at high pH (4-14) the solubility is higher than expected.

Previous studies have shown that porous hydrated calcium silicate (PS) is very effective in decreasing cadmium (Cd) content in brown rice. However, it is unclear whether the PS influences cadmium transformation in soil. The present study examined the effect of PS on pH, cadmium transformation and cadmium solubility in Andosol and Alluvial soil, and also compared its effects with CaCO3, acidic p...
