Adsorption of metal ions on bed sediments
نویسنده
چکیده
The adsorption of lead and zinc ions on bed sediments of the River Kali in western Uttar Pradesh, India, has been studied. The role of the coarser sediment fraction (210-250 jtm) in controlling metal pollution has been elucidated and compared to those of the clay and silt fractions. The parameters controlling metal uptake, viz., solution pH, sediment dose, contact time, and particle size have been evaluated. The optimum contact time needed to reach equilibrium is of the order of 45 min for both the metal ions. The extent of adsorption increases with an increase of pH. Furthermore, the adsorption of the metal ions increases with increasing adsorbent doses and decreases with adsorbent particle size. The two geochemical phases of iron and manganese oxide act as the active support material for the adsorption of the metal ions. Adsorption d'ions métalliques sur les sédiments de fond Résumé Nous avons étudié 1'adsorption des ions plomb et zinc dans les sédiments du lit du fleuve Kali dans l'Uttar Pradesh occidental (Inde). Le rôle fondamental de la fraction grossière des sédiments (210-250 fim) dans la pollution métallique a pu être élucidé et comparé à ceux des fractions argileuses et silteuses. Les paramètres commandant l'adsorption des métaux, à savoir le pH, la quantité de sédiment, le temps de contact et la granulométrie du sédiment ont été estimés. Le temps de contact optimal permettant d'atteindre l'équilibre est de l'ordre de 45 min pour les deux ions métalliques étudiés. L'adsorption augmente avec le pH. De plus, l'adsorption augmente avec la quantité de sédiment et diminue avec la taille des particules adsorbantes. Les deux phases géochimiques que sont les oxydes de fer et de manganèse constituent un matériel adsorbant très efficace vis à vis des ions métalliques.
