Adsorption of phosphate by two iron oxides in relation to their porosity

Abstract: Adsorption and desorption of phosphate by lepidocrocite and hematite, the latter obtained by thermal decomposition of the former, were studied and related to changes in mesoporosity of the solid surface. Differences between the oxides in the accessibility of their surfaces to phosphate seems to control the fractional amounts of 'rapidly' and 'slowly' adsorbed phosphate. Results of isotopic exchange of the phosphate adsorbed at high surface coverage can also be explained in terms of the mesoporosity of the surf… Show more

“…A previous study [17] reported that the pores on goethite surface were 20-30 nm in width and became narrower to 2 nm or less towards the interior of the crystals. Radius for phosphate was 0.22 nm; it was therefore possible for phosphate to diffuse into the pores or to block the pore entrances [20,21], which was confirmed by the decreased average pore volume after phosphate modification through the pore volume analysis in Table 1.…”

“…The multiple-rate characteristic of phosphate adsorption is possibly related to the heterogeneity of adsorption sites. The different accessibility of surface pores and multiple sorption sites with different binding strengths result in an apparent heterogeneity of the surface (Benjamin and Leckie 1981;Madrid and de Arambarri 1985;Hiemstra et al 1989a,b) and would cause differences in the adsorption rate. The phosphate adsorption may replace the positively charged OH 2 groups through ligand exchange and, thus, tends to lower the positive surface potential and increase negative charge (Parfitt and Atkinson 1976).…”

“…The kinetics of phosphate adsorption by pure Fe oxides has been intensively studied over the last two decades (Kuo and Lotse 1973;Parfitt and Atkinson 1976;Anderson et al 1985;Bolan et al 1985;Hansmann and Anderson 1985;Madrid and de Arambarri 1985;Shang et al 1993). However, pure Fe oxides seldom occur in natural environments, since other ions present in the environment can influence their formation (Krishnamurti and Huang 1990;Cornell and Schwertmann 1996).…”

“…Rapid P adsorption presumably results from the reaction of P with surface sites on Fe oxides (Parfitt 1978). Slow P adsorption has been attributed to slow diffusion into Fe-oxide crystals (Barrow 1983;Parfitt 1989) or aggregates of crystals (Madrid and Arambarri 1985;Willett et al 1988;Torrent et al 1992), as well as slow formation of P-containing precipitates (Van Riemsdijk et al 1984). Slow adsorption is usually found to be more pronounced for poorly ordered Fe oxides (e.g.…”
