Effects of Dissolved Organic Matter and pH on Heavy Metal Uptake by Sludge Particulates Exemplified by Copper(II) and Nickel(II): Three‐Variable Model

Abstract: Dissolved organic matter (DOM) and pH are important factors affecting heavy metal uptake by sludge particulates. Copper(II) and Nickel(II) uptake behavior by primary and secondary sludge particulates was studied under various pH and DOM conditions. A three‐variable model, incorporating effects of pH and DOM, was developed to describe heavy metal uptake. Results show that heavy metal uptake by sludge particulates can be better described by the three‐variable model than by the modified Langmuir model in a wide p… Show more

“…For instances, dissolved soil organic matter is one of important factors affecting heavy metal uptake by sludge particulates, [21] and the level of heavy metal concentration depends on the exchange capacity of the soil, which is largely related to clay and organic matter content. [22] Therefore, it is reasonable to observe the significantly positive relations of soil organic matter against Pb, Cu and Zn concentrations in this study.…”

“…39 The indirect effects include, for example, the amount of bicarbonate ions or protons, competition for the binding sites on the membranes or matrix proteins. The present study shows that at pH 8 nickel alone shows higher adsorption compared with cobalt alone (Fig 3).…”

“…Experimentations have been carried out either to identify the mechanisms and the main parameters affecting heavy metal uptake in WWTPs or to use waste-activated sludge as a low cost adsorbent. The influence of a lot of physicochemical and process parameters has been extensively studied and demonstrated: hydraulic residence time [17], sludge age [18], feed C/N ratio [19], pH [20], temperature [20], dissolved organic matter [21,22], the presence of multiple metallic elements [23,24], the composition of the extracellular polymer matrix [25] . .…”
