Nano-ferrihydrite colloidal particles mediated interfacial interactions of arsenate and cadmium: Implications for their fate under iron-rich geological settings. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 447:130755. [PMID: 36640511 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.130755] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2022] [Revised: 01/01/2023] [Accepted: 01/06/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd) often coexist in paddy soils. Nano-ferrihydrite colloidal particles (NFPs) are ubiquitous at redox active interfaces of the paddy system and are well-known to play a critical role in controlling the solubility and bio-availability of As and Cd. However, the mutual interaction between As and Cd on NFPs remains elusive. Herein, batch experiments and in-situ spectroscopic techniques were used to investigate the effects of the interaction pattern (sequential reaction) of Cd(II) and As(V) on their respective adsorption on the surfaces of NFPs. Two scenarios were designed: Cd(II) pre-saturated NFPs and As(V) pre-saturated NFPs. Adsorption of Cd(II) was increased by 1.67, 4.08, and 5.21 times in As(V)-saturated NFPs, but only by 1.05, 1.11, and 1.15 times for As(V) in Cd(II)-saturated NFPs. Further, we determined the pH-dependent mutually beneficial cooperation pathways as mediated by the surface of NFPs. At lower pH (5), As(V) tended to promote Cd(II) adsorption, whereas Cd(II) tended to enhance As(V) adsorption at higher pH (> 5.5). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) indicated that both pre-saturated Cd(II) and As(V) altered the local coordination environment of their counterpart ions. Furthermore, results from in-situ attenuated total reflection-Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and second derivative peak shape fitting revealed two types of ternary surface complexes, namely Cd(II)-bridged and As(V)-bridged complexes, which were responsible for the distinct Cd(II) and As(V) co-adsorption behavior on the surface of NFPs under different conditions. These findings help us understand how co-presence Cd and As behave in an iron-rich geological setting and will aid in the development of related restoration technologies.

Abstract
Low-molecular-weight organic acids may significantly influence the mobility of metal in environment, but the kinetics are not fully understood and have not been quantified. In this study, the thermodynamic and kinetic effects of citric acid (CA) on the adsorption of Cd(II) and Ni(II) on goethite were investigated using batch-adsorption and stirred-flow experiments. A charge distribution and multisite complexation model (CD-MUSIC) and a thermodynamically based multi-rate kinetic model were employed to describe the adsorption behaviors. Two ternary surface complexes, (≡FeO)2CitMe and (≡FeOH)2MeCit2-, were involved in the adsorption. In addition, CA differed in its effects on Cd(II) and Ni(II) adsorption, enhancing Cd(II) adsorption but inhibiting Ni(II) adsorption at high levels. Kinetically, in the presence of CA, the adsorption of Cd(II) was faster than that of Ni(II). Increasing CA concentration led to faster Cd(II) adsorption, but resulted in the dissolution of the adsorbed Ni(II), possibly due to the much higher complexation constants of Ni-CA than of Cd-CA in aqueous phase. This finding implied that, in the rhizosphere, high level of CA may lead to more dissolution of Ni(II) than Cd(II); while in acidic ferrosol, CA may alleviate Cd(II) mobility and toxicity. The proposed mechanistic model sheds light on ion partition in the soil environment and may improve predictions thereof.

Synthesis of potential Ca-Mg-Al layered double hydroxides coated graphene oxide composites for simultaneous uptake of europium and fulvic acid from wastewater systems.

Abstract
High background electrolyte and natural organic matter are favorable to migration of hazardous radionuclides in geochemical repository. Herein, Ca-Mg-Al layered double hydroxide coated onto graphene oxide (Ca-Mg-Al LDH/GO) composites were successfully synthesized, characterized and adopted to decontaminate Eu(III) and fulvic acid (FA) under diverse experimental conditions. Diverse concentration gradients and different addition sequences on Eu(III) and FA were also obtained, which revealed different interaction mechanisms. The experimental results displayed that the coexistence of FA and Eu(III) respectively promoted adsorption performance of Eu(III) and FA under the ternary systems. The acquired Ca-Mg-Al LDH/GO composites were adopted to remove Eu(III) and FA, which further illustrated excellent chemo-physical stability and adsorption capacity of 1.12 × 10-3 mol/g and 3.54 × 10-4 mol/g, respectively. The remarkable adsorption performances of Ca-Mg-Al LDH/GO were confirmed through kinetic procedures and depending-temperature isotherms, illustrating that the kinetics processes were simulated using pseudo-second-order pattern, and the adsorption isotherms were splendidly simulated using Langmuir pattern. XPS spectrum analysis revealed that these containing oxygen groups took significant part in the restricting of Eu(III) and FA onto the surfaces of Ca-Mg-Al LDH/GO composites. In view of experimental results, the Ca-Mg-Al LDH/GO composites can be as potential adsorbents with availably recycled reusability for the decontamination of Eu(III) and FA from nuclear fuel partition or nuclear wastewater systems.

Abstract
Sorption of chemicals onto soil particle surfaces is an important process controlling their availability for uptake by organisms and loss from soils to ground and surface waters. The mechanisms of chemical sorption are inner- and outer-sphere adsorption and precipitation onto mineral surfaces. Factors that determine the sorption behavior are properties of soil mineral and organic matter surfaces and properties of the sorbing chemicals (including valence, electron configuration, and hydrophobicity). Because soils are complex heterogeneous mixtures, measuring sorption mechanisms is challenging; however, advancements analytical methods have made direct determination of sorption mechanisms possible. In this review, historical and modern research that supports the mechanistic understanding of sorption mechanisms in soils is discussed. Sorption mechanisms covered include cation exchange, outer-sphere adsorption, inner-sphere adsorption, surface precipitation, and ternary adsorption complexes.

Abstract
In water environments, nylon microplastics (MPs) and heavy metals are two kinds of common pollutants. This study investigated the adsorption of three divalent metals (Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II)) onto collected nylon MPs as function of contact time, temperature, solution pH, ionic strength and concentration of fulvic acid (FA). The kinetic data fitted well with the Elovich and pseudo-second order equations. The result of shrinking core model (SCM) confirms that the adsorption of Cu(II) and Zn(II) was mainly controlled by intraparticle diffusion. The adsorption of three metal ions onto collected nylon MPs is spontaneous, endothermic, with an increased randomness in nature. The Langmuir and Freundlich models successfully described the adsorption isotherms. The speciation distributions of three divalent metals in aqueous solutions were identified to analyze the effects of initial solution pH, ionic strength and fulvic acid concentrations on the adsorption amounts. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis indicates the importance of surface O-containing groups of collected nylon MPs in controlling the adsorption of three metal ions. This research provides a clear theoretical basis for the behavior of nylon MPs as heavy metals (Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II)) carrier and highlights their environmental toxicity, which deserves to be further concerned.

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase (AP) is commonly found in aquatic ecosystems as an extracellular enzyme closely related to the biogeochemical cycling of phosphorus. Although the AP activity (APA) is conventionally thought to be a main response to PO43- starvation, significant effects of macro metal elements (Al, Fe, and Ca) and S on the APA were found in this study. The APA was reduced by Al primarily through the adsorption of the enzyme onto AlOOH colloids. Fe2+ inhibited the APA via a mechanism involving free radical oxidation. The main mechanism by which Ca2+ inhibited the APA was by competing with Mg2+ and Zn2+ for the active sites of the enzyme. Excessive S2- could reduce the APA by removing Zn2+ from the active sites of the enzyme. The inhibition of APA could be reversed if some metal ions (e.g., Fe2+) were precipitated by S2- under reducing conditions. Therefore, in anaerobic ecosystems, the effects of macro metals on APA under conditions of sulfide accumulation may have innovative implications for phosphorus management.

Abstract
The mineral-organo composites control the speciation, mobility and bioavailability of heavy metals in soils and sediments by surface adsorption and precipitation. The dynamic changes of soil mineral, organic matter and their associations under redox, aging and microbial activities further complicate the fate of heavy metals. Over the past decades, the wide application of advanced instrumental techniques and modelling has largely extended our understanding on heavy metal behavior within mineral-organo assemblages. In this review, we provide a comprehensive summary of recent progress on heavy metal immobilization by mineral-humic and mineral-microbial composites, with a special focus on the interfacial reaction mechanisms of heavy metal adsorption. The impacts of redox and aging conditions on heavy metal speciations and associations with mineral-organo complexes are discussed. The modelling of heavy metals adsorption and desorption onto synthetic mineral-organo composites and natural soils and sediments are also critically reviewed. Future challenges and prospects in the mineral-organo interface are outlined. More in-depth investigations are warranted, especially on the function and contribution of microorganisms in the immobilization of heavy metals at the complex mineral-organo interface. It has become imperative to use the state-of-the-art methodologies to characterize the interface and develop in situ analytical techniques in future studies.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) and metal-organic framework (MOF) as adsorbents were applied to removal of Pb(II) with comprehensive characterizations and various experimental conditions. Various characterizations were conducted to clarify the physico-chemical properties of adsorbents. The analyses of adsorption experiments included (i) dosage amounts, (ii) isotherm and kinetic studies, and (iii) several factors related to water chemistry (i.e., solution pH, background ions, and humic acid). The maximum equilibrium adsorption capacity (qe) for Pb(II) using the GO and MOF was 555 and 108 mg g-1, respectively, as determined in the optimum dosage experiments. Although the surface area of the MOF (629 m2 g-1) was much larger than that of the GO (19.8 m2 g-1), the adsorption capacity of the MOF was five times lower due to electrical repulsion. Thus, the MOF was utilized as the control group for comparison with the GO to evaluate the adsorption mechanisms in the experiments related to surface charge (i.e., under various pH and humic acid conditions). The adsorption isotherms and kinetics model determined using GO followed the Langmuir model (R2 > 0.99) and pseudo-second-order model (R2 > 0.99), respectively. Additionally, three adsorption-desorption cycles were conducted with the GO adsorbent to evaluate the maintenance of the removal ratio after regeneration and the equilibrium adsorption capacity was determined. Finally, the adsorption of other heavy metals (i.e., Cu(II), Cd(II), and Zn(II)), separately and in mixtures, was also evaluated to determine the selectivity of the adsorbents.

Abstract
Nickel (Ⅱ)-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (Ni-EDTA) complexes are widely present in electroplating effluents. Owing to its chemical stability, Ni-EDTA is hardly removed in traditional Fenton/Fenton-like processes with conventional iron (Fe)-based catalyst. In this study, oxygen vacancies were introduced into our highly efficient and novel Fe3O4@γ-Al2O3 catalysts using Cu doping for Ni-EDTA decomposition in Fenton-like system. Without noble-metal cocatalyst, the introduction of oxygen vacancies in Cu-doped Fe3O4@γ-Al2O3 catalysts exhibit excellent Fenton-like activity even in neutral or alkaline conditions. Experimental results revealed that, without the aid of extra energy, Ni-EDTA complexes could be effectively decomposed over oxygen vacancies-based catalyst. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), oxygen temperature-programmed desorption (O2-TPD), and hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR) were used to get a deep insight into the decomposition mechanism. Additionally, by employing the Al-containing support, stable layered double-hydroxide phases of NiAl could be formed, indicating that a synergy of oxidation and adsorption could simultaneously take place, which led to the recovery of released Ni2+ ions and also reduction in secondary pollution. To investigate the decomposition process of Ni-EDTA over oxygen vacancies-based catalyst, liquid chromatography-quadrupole/electrostatic field orbitrap high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was employed to identify the generated intermediates, and thus, a plausible decomposition pathway was successfully conceived.

Abstract
Various graphene-based nanoadsorbents, including graphenes, graphene oxides, reduced graphene oxides, and their nanocomposites, have been widely studied as potential adsorbents due to their unique physicochemical properties, such as structural variability, chemical strength, low density, and the possibility of large scale fabrication. Adsorption mechanisms are governed largely by the physicochemical properties of contaminants, the characteristics of nanoadsorbents, and background water quality conditions. This review summarizes recent comprehensive studies on the removal of various inorganic (mainly heavy metals) and organic contaminants by graphene-based nanoadsorbents, and also discusses valuable information for applications of these nanoadsorbents in water and wastewater treatment. In particular, the aqueous removal of various contaminants was reviewed to (i) summarize the general adsorption capacities of various graphene-based nanoadsorbents for the removal of different inorganic and organic contaminants, (ii) evaluate the effects of key water quality parameters such as pH, temperature, background major ions/ionic strength, and natural organic matter on adsorption, (iii) provide a comprehensive discussion of the mechanisms that influence adsorption on these nanoadsorbents, and (iv) discuss the potential regeneration and reusability of nanoadsorbents. In addition, current challenges and future research needs for the removal of contaminants by graphene-based nanoadsorbents in water treatment processes are discussed briefly.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2018; 25:32617-32630. [PMID: 30242655 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-018-3252-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2018] [Accepted: 09/14/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
The competitive binding trends of Ni(II) and Eu(III) on montmorillonite in the absence/presence of Na-oxalate are explored by using batch sorption/desorption technique, speciation modeling, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. With a series of molar Ni:Eu ratios (i.e., 1:1, 5:1, 10:1, 1:5, and 1:10), the coexisting Ni(II) did not affect the sequestration behaviors and immobilization mechanisms of Eu(III). In contrast, the presence of Eu(III) obviously suppressed the sorption percentages of Ni(II) in the acidic pH range. Even though no obvious influence of Eu(III) on the macroscopic binding trends of Ni(II) was observed under alkaline conditions, the fraction of Ni(II) adsorbed by the inner-sphere complexation mechanism decreased and that of Ni(II) precipitation increased with rising molar Ni:Eu ratio. The coexisting Na-oxalate did not influence Eu(III) sorption, while inhibited the sorption of Ni(II). The XRD analysis indicated the potential formation of two Eu-oxalate precipitate phases (i.e., Eu2(C2O4)3·xH2O(s)-1 and Eu2(C2O4)3·xH2O(s)-2) at different pH values (4.0 and 6.5) and Na-oxalate concentrations (ranging from 0.5 to 5.0 mM). Interestingly, the Eu2(C2O4)3·xH2O(s)-2 phase would be transformed into the Eu2(C2O4)3·xH2O(s)-1 solid with the increase of Na-oxalate concentration. The research findings could provide essential data for evaluating the fate of coexistent Eu(III) and Ni(II) in the complicated aquatic environment.

Abstract
Biochar, as a cost-efficient adsorbent, is of major interest in the removal of heavy metals from wastewater. Herein, batch experiments were conducted to investigate the performance of biochar derived from rice straw for the removal of Ni(II) as a function of various environmental conditions. The results showed that Ni(II) sorption was strongly dependent on pH but independent of ionic strength and the effects of electrolyte ions could be negligible over the whole pH range. Ionic exchange and inner-sphere surface complexation dominated the sorption of Ni(II). Humic/fulvic acids clearly enhanced the Ni(II) sorption at pH <7.2 but inhibited the sorption at pH >7.2. The sorption reached equilibrium within 10 hours, and the kinetics followed a pseudo-second-order rate model. Any of the Langmuir, Freundlich, or Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm models could describe the sorption well, but the Langmuir model described it best. The maximum sorption capacity calculated from the Langmuir model was 0.257 m·mol/g. The thermodynamic parameters suggested that Ni(II) sorption was a spontaneous and endothermic process and was enhanced at high temperature. The results of this work indicate that biochar derived from rice straw may be a valuable bio-sorbent for Ni(II) in aqueous solutions, but it still requires further modification.

Abstract
Sorption of tungstate on boehmite (γ-AlOOH) is increased by co-sorption with Co2+ over the near-neutral pH range. Batch uptake experiments show up to a 3-fold increase in tungstate uptake over the range WO42-=50-1000μmol/L compared to boehmite not treated with Co2+. Desorption experiments reveal a corresponding decrease in sorption reversibility for tungstate co-sorbed with Co2+. Reaction of boehmite with Co2+ results in the formation of CoAl layered double hydroxide (LDH), as confirmed by X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Tungsten L3-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) reveals that W(VI) is octahedrally coordinated in all sorption samples, with polymeric tungstate species forming at higher tungstate concentrations. X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy indicate that the mechanism for enhancement of tungstate uptake is the formation of surface complexes on boehmite at low tungstate concentrations, while exchange into the CoAl LDH becomes important at higher tungstate concentrations. The results provide a basis for developing strategies to enhance tungstate sorption and to limit its environmental mobility at near-neutral pH conditions.

Abstract
We studied the effects of humic substances (HS) on the sorption of Fe(II) onto Al-oxide and clay sorbents at pH 7.5 with a combination of batch kinetic experiments and synchrotron Fe K-edge EXAFS analyses. Fe(II) sorption was monitored over the course of 4 months in anoxic clay and Al-oxide suspensions amended with variable HS types (humic acid, HA; or fulvic acid, FA) and levels (0, 1, and 4 wt%), and with differing Fe(II) and HS addition sequences (co-sorption and pre-coated experiments, where Fe(II) sorbate was added alongside and after HS addition, respectively). In the Al-oxide suspensions, the presence of HS slowed down the kinetics of Fe(II) sorption, but had limited, if any, effect on the equilibrium aqueous Fe(II) concentrations. EXAFS analyses revealed precipitation of Fe(II)-Al(III)-layered double hydroxide (LDH) phases as the main mode of Fe(II) sorption in both the HA-containing and HA-free systems. These results demonstrate that HS slow down Fe(II) precipitation in the Al-oxide suspensions, but do not affect the composition or stability of the secondary Fe(II)-Al(III)-LDH phases formed. Interference of HS with the precipitation of Fe(II)-Al(III)-LDH was attributed to the formation organo-Al complexes HS limiting the availability of Al for incorporation into secondary layered Fe(II)-hydroxides. In the clay systems, the presence of HA caused a change in the main Fe(II) sorption product from Fe(II)-Al(III)-LDH to a Fe(II)-phyllosilicate containing little structural Al. This was attributed to complexation of Al by HA, in combination with the presence of dissolved Si in the clay suspension enabling phyllosilicate precipitation. The change in Fe(II) precipitation mechanism did not affect the rate of Fe(II) sorption at the lower HA level, suggesting that the inhibition of Fe(II)-Al(III)-LDH formation in this system was countered by enhanced Fe(II)-phyllosilicate precipitation. Reduced rates of Fe(II) sorption at the higher HA level were attributed to surface masking or poisoning by HA of secondary Fe(II) mineral growth at or near the clay surface. Our results suggest that HS play an important role in controlling the kinetics and products of Fe(II) precipitation in reducing soils, with effects modulated by soil mineralogy, HS content, and HS properties. Further work is needed to assess the importance of layered Fe(II) hydroxides in natural reducing environments.

Abstract
The sorption of Ni(II) on a calcareous aridisol (CA) soil, one of the major soil types in northwestern China, was investigated using batch and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) approaches in a 0.01 mol/L NaClO4 solution at different pH values (6.0-10.0), temperatures (25-60 °C) and contact times (2-15 days). Under alkaline conditions, EXAFS analysis showed that the interatomic distances between Ni and O atoms (RNi-O) were approximately 2.04 Å with a typical coordination number (CN) of ~6.0 O atoms in the contact time range from 2 to 15 days. The RNi-Ni (~3.07 Å) suggested that the structure of the Ni(II) adsorbed on the CA soil was basically the same as that of Ni(OH)2(s), while the Ni-Al shell (RNi-Al ~3.16 Å) gradually formed and grew with the increasing contact time. Under weakly acidic conditions, the sorption mechanism of Ni(II) on the CA soil possibly included at least two processes: (i) a fast accumulation dominated by ion exchange and surface complexation and (ii) the formation of a Ni-Al LDH phase over the long term. A high temperature is beneficial to the fixation of Ni(II) on the CA soil and the formation of a Ni-Al LDH.

Abstract
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is one of the most widely used processes to stabilize waste sewage sludge and produce biogas as renewable energy. The relatively low organic matter content and high heavy metal concentrations in sewage sludge have severely restricted the application and development of AD technology in China. In this study, the effect of energy grass (Pennisetum alopecuroides) addition on methane production and heavy metal fractionation during the AD of sewage sludge was evaluated. Methane production was enhanced by 11.2% by the addition of P. alopecuroides. The addition of P. alopecuroides significantly reduced the percentages of the water-soluble and exchangeable fractions of the target heavy metals in the sewage sludge after AD, and the dominant species were concentrated in Fe-Mn oxide-bound and organic- and sulfide-bound fractions of the digested sludge. The addition of P. alopecuroides at a dosage of 0.3kg significantly (P<0.05) decreased the mobility factors (MFs) of the target heavy metals after AD. In particular, the MFs of Cr and Ni were 61% and 32% lower, respectively, relative to the control. The increase in the added dose did not necessarily lead to further decreases in the MFs of the heavy metals. These results demonstrate that an appropriate addition of energy grass could enhance AD, decrease the mobility of heavy metals and promote heavy metal stabilization in sewage sludge during AD, which is beneficial for the subsequent land application of sewage sludge.

Abstract
The competitive sorption of Pb(II), Cu(II) and Ni(II) on the uniform carbonaceous nanofibers (CNFs) was investigated in binary/ternary-metal systems. The pH-dependent sorption of Pb(II), Cu(II) and Ni(II) on CNFs was independent of ionic strength, indicating that inner-sphere surface complexation dominated sorption Pb(II), Cu(II) and Ni(II) on CNFs. The maximum sorption capacities of Pb(II), Cu(II) and Ni(II) on CNFs in single-metal systems at a pH 5.5±0.2 and 25±1°C were 3.84 (795.65mg/g), 3.21 (204.00mg/g) and 2.67 (156.70mg/g)mmol/g, respectively. In equimolar binary/ternary-metal systems, Pb(II) exhibited greater inhibition of the sorption of Cu(II) and Ni(II), demonstrating the stronger affinity of CNFs for Pb(II). The competitive sorption of heavy metals in ternary-metal systems was predicted quite well by surface complexation modeling derived from single-metal data. According to FTIR, XPS and EXAFS analyses, Pb(II), Cu(II) and Ni(II) were specifically adsorbed on CNFs via covalent bonding. These observations should provide an essential start in simultaneous removal of multiple heavy metals from aquatic environments by CNFs, and open the doorways for the application of CNFs.

Abstract
Our previous work reported that Al2O3 inhibited the oxidative reactivity of MnO2 through heteroaggregation between oxide particles and surface complexation of the dissolved Al ions with MnO2 (S. Taujale and H. Zhang, "Impact of interactions between metal oxides to oxidative reactivity of manganese dioxide" Environ. Sci. Technol. 2012, 46, 2764-2771). The aim of the current work was to investigate interactions in ternary mixtures of MnO2, Al2O3, and NOM and how the interactions affect MnO2 oxidative reactivity. For the effect of Al ions, we examined ternary mixtures of MnO2, Al ions, and NOM. Our results indicated that an increase in the amount of humic acids (HAs) increasingly inhibited Al adsorption by forming soluble Al-HA complexes. As a consequence, there was less inhibition on MnO2 reactivity than by the sum of two binary mixtures (MnO2+Al ions and MnO2+HA). Alginate or pyromellitic acid (PA)-two model NOM compounds-did not affect Al adsorption, but Al ions increased alginate/PA adsorption by MnO2. The latter effect led to more inhibition on MnO2 reactivity than the sum of the two binary mixtures. In ternary mixtures of MnO2, Al2O3, and NOM, NOM inhibited dissolution of Al2O3. Zeta potential measurements, sedimentation experiments, TEM images, and modified DLVO calculations all indicated that HAs of up to 4 mg-C/L increased heteroaggregation between Al2O3 and MnO2, whereas higher amounts of HAs completely inhibited heteroaggregation. The effect of alginate is similar to that of HAs, although not as significant, while PA had negligible effects on heteroaggregation. Different from the effects of Al ions and NOMs on MnO2 reactivity, the MnO2 reactivity in ternary mixtures of Al2O3, MnO2, and NOM was mostly enhanced. This suggests MnO2 reactivity was mainly affected through heteroaggregation in the ternary mixtures because of the limited availability of Al ions.

Abstract
Little information is available concerning co-sorbing oxyanion and metal contaminants in the environment, yet in most metal-contaminated areas, co-contamination by phosphate is common. In this study, the mutual effects of phosphate and Zn(II) on their interaction with γ-Al2O3 are investigated by batch experiments and X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (XAFS) technique. The results show that the co-sorption of phosphate on γ-Al2O3 modifies both the extent of Zn(II) sorption and the local atomic structures of sorbed Zn(II) ions. Multiple mechanisms are involved in Zn(II) retention in the presence of phosphate, including electrostatic interaction, binary and ternary surface complexation, and the formation of Zn(II)-phosphate polynuclear complexes. At pH 6.5, type III ternary surface complexation occurs concurrently with binary Zn-alumina surface complexation at low phosphate concentrations, whereas the formation of type III ternary surface complexes is promoted as the phosphate concentration increases. With further increasing phosphate concentration, Zn(II)-phosphate polynuclear complexes are formed. At pH 8.0, Zn dominantly forms type III ternary surface complexes in the presence of phosphate. The results of this study indicate the variability of Zn complexation on oxide surface and the importance of combining macroscopic observations with XAFS capable of determining metal complex formation mechanism for ternary system.

Abstract
Mechanisms of tungstate sorption on the mineral boehmite (γ-AlOOH) were studied using batch uptake experiments and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Batch uptake experiments over the pH range 4-8 and [W]=50-2000 μM show typical oxyanion behavior, and isotherm experiments reveal continued uptake with increasing tungstate concentration without any clear uptake maximum. Desorption experiments showed that sorption is irreversible at pH 4 and partly reversible at pH 8. Tungsten L1- and L3-edge XANES spectroscopy indicates that all sorbed tungstates are octahedrally coordinated, even though the dominant solution species at pH 8 is a tetrahedral monotungstate. Tungsten L3-edge EXAFS analysis shows that sorbed tungstate occurs as polymeric form(s), as indicated by the presence of corner- and edge-sharing of distorted tungstate octahedra. The occurrence of polymeric tungstate on the surface at pH 8 indicates that sorption is accompanied by polymerization and a coordination change from tetrahedral (in solution) to distorted octahedral (on the surface). The strong tendency for tungstate polymerization on boehmite can explain the continued uptake without an apparent maximum in sorption, and the limited desorption behavior. Our results provide the basis for a predictive model of tungstate uptake by boehmite, which can be important for understanding tungstate mobility, toxicity, and bioavailability.

Abstract
The effect of altering the order of addition in a ternary system of plutonium(IV), organic matter (fulvic acid, humic acid and desferrioxamine B), and montmorillonite was investigated. A decrease in Pu(IV) sorption to montmorillonite in the presence of fulvic and humic acid relative to the binary Pu-montmorillonite system, is attributed to strong organic aqueous complex formation with aqueous Pu(IV). No dependence on the order of addition was observed. In contrast, in the system where Pu(IV) was equilibrated with desferrioxamine B (DFOB) prior to addition of montmorillonite, an increase in Pu(IV) sorption was observed relative to the binary system. When DFOB was equilibrated with montmorillonite prior to addition of Pu(IV), Pu(IV) sorption was equivalent to the binary system. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy revealed that DFOB accumulated in the interlayer of montmorillonite. The order of DFOB addition plays an important role in the observed sorption/desorption behavior of Pu. The irreversible nature of DFOB accumulation in the montmorillonite interlayer leads to an apparent dependence of Pu sorption on the order of addition in the ternary system. This work demonstrates that the order of addition will be relevant in ternary systems in which at least one component exhibits irreversible sorption behavior.

Abstract
Nowadays nanomaterials have been widely used to remove heavy metals from water/wastewater due to their large surface area and high reactivity. Humic acid (HA) and fulvic acid (FA) exist ubiquitously in aquatic environments and have a variety of functional groups which allow them to complex with metal ions and interact with nanomaterials. These interactions can not only alter the environmental behavior of nanomaterials, but also influence the removal and transportation of heavy metals by nanomaterials. Thus, the interactions and the underlying mechanisms involved warrant specific investigations. This review outlined the effects of HA/FA on the removal of heavy metals from aqueous solutions by various nanomaterials, mainly including carbon-based nanomaterials, iron-based nanomaterials and photocatalytic nanomaterials. Moreover, mechanisms involved in the interactions were discussed and potential environmental implications of HA/FA to nanomaterials and heavy metals were evaluated.

Abstract
This work determined the influence of humic acid (HA) and fulvic acid (FA) on the interaction mechanism and microstructure of Ni(II) onto diatomite by using batch experiments, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) methods. Macroscopic and spectroscopic experiments have been combined to see the evolution of the interaction mechanism and microstructure of Ni(II) in the presence of HA/FA as compared with that in the absence of HA/FA. The results indicated that the interaction of Ni(II) with diatomite presents the expected solution pH edge at 7.0, which is modified by addition of HA/FA. In the presence of HA/FA, the interaction of Ni(II) with diatomite increased below solution pH 7.0, while Ni(II) interaction decreased above solution pH 7.0. XPS analysis suggested that the enrichment of Ni(II) onto diatomite may be due to the formation of (≡SO)2Ni. EXAFS results showed that binary surface complexes and ternary surface complexes of Ni(II) can be simultaneously formed in the presence of HA/FA, whereas only binary surface complexes of Ni(II) are formed in the absence of HA/FA, which contribute to the enhanced Ni(II) uptake at low pH values. The results observed in this work are important for the evaluation of Ni(II) and related radionuclide physicochemical behavior in the natural soil and water environment.

Abstract
Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy combined with statistical F-tests is used to investigate the local atomic structures of Ni(II) adsorbed on Na-rectorite. The EXAFS analysis results of Ni(II) sorption samples indicate that the first coordination shell consists of ~6 O at the Ni-O interatomic distance (R) of ~2.04 Å. The presence of Ni backscattering at R(Ni-Ni) = 3.06 Å in the second coordination shell suggests the formation of Ni(II) precipitate. The results of F-tests show that the Ni(II) precipitate is Ni-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH). Our results demonstrate that Ni(II) ions are retained via different mechanisms depending on solution conditions. At low pH, Ni retention is controlled mainly by the outer-sphere surface complexation. With increasing pH, outer-sphere and inner-sphere surface complexation dominate Ni uptake. Furthermore, Ni surface loading increases with temperature increasing at pH 6.5 due to the formation of inner-sphere surface complexes and Ni-Al LDH. The formation of Ni-Al LDH becomes the dominate mechanism at the elevated pH and temperature. In the presence of humic substances, the sorption of Ni(II) on Na-rectorite is dominated by the formation of ternary surface complexes. These results are important to understand the physicochemical behavior of Ni(II) in the natural environment.

Abstract
The influence of humic acid (HA) on Ni(II) sorption to Ca-montmorillonite was examined by using a combination of batch sorption experiments and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy technique. The sorption of Ni(II) on HA-montmorillonite hybrids is strongly dependent on pH and temperature. At low pH, the sorption of Ni(II) is mainly dominated by Ni-HA-montmorillonite and outer-sphere surface complexation. The EXAFS results indicate that the first coordination shell of Ni(II) consists of ∼6 O atoms at the interatomic distances of ∼2.04 Å in an octahedral structure. At high pH, binary Ni-montmorillonite surface complexation is the dominant sorption mechanism. EXAFS analysis indicates the formation of mononuclear complexes located at the edges of Ca-montmorillonite platelets at pH 7.5, while a Ni-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) phase at the Ca-montmorillonite surface formed with pH 8.5. At pH 10.0, the dissolved HA-Ni(II) complexation inhibits the precipitation of Ni hydroxide, and Ni-Al LDH phase forms. The rise of temperature increases the sorption capacity of Ni(II), and promotes Ni-Al LDH phase formation and the growth of crystallites. The results are important to evaluate the physicochemical behavior of Ni(II) in the natural environment.

Abstract
In this study, the sorption of U(VI) from aqueous solution on hematite was studied as a function of various water quality parameters such as contact time, pH, ionic strength, soil humic acid (HA) or fulvic acid (FA), solid content and temperature by using a batch technique. The results demonstrated that the sorption of U(VI) was strongly dependent on ionic strength at pH<6.0, and outer-sphere surface complexation may be the main sorption mechanism. The sorption was independent of ionic strength at pH>6.0 and the sorption was mainly dominated by inner-sphere surface complexation. The presence of HA/FA increases U(VI) sorption at low pH, whereas decreases U(VI) sorption at high pH. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔH⁰, ΔS⁰, and ΔG⁰) were calculated from the temperature dependent sorption isotherms, and the results suggested that U(VI) sorption was a spontaneous and endothermic process. The results might be important for the application of hematite in U(VI) pollution management.

Abstract
The role of fulvic acid (FA) in modifying the adsorption mode and sorption capacity of divalent metal cations on the muscovite (001) surface was evaluated by measuring the uptake of Cu(2+), Zn(2+), and Pb(2+) from 0.01 m solutions at pH 3.7 with FA using in situ resonant anomalous X-ray reflectivity. The molecular-scale distributions of these cations combined with those previously observed for Hg(2+), Sr(2+), and Ba(2+) indicate metal uptake patterns controlled by cation-FA binding strength and cation hydration enthalpy. For weakly hydrated cations the presence of FA increased metal uptake by approximately 60-140%. Greater uptake corresponded with increasing cation-FA affinity (Ba(2+) ≈ Sr(2+) < Pb(2+) < Hg(2+)). This trend is associated with differences in the sorption mechanism: Ba(2+) and Sr(2+) sorbed in the outer portion of the FA film whereas Pb(2+) and Hg(2+) complexed with FA effectively throughout the film. The more strongly hydrated Cu(2+) and Zn(2+) adsorbed as two distinct outer-sphere complexes on the muscovite surface, with minimal change from their distribution without FA, indicating that their strong hydration impedes additional binding to the FA film despite their relatively strong affinity for FA.

The ionic strength-dependent sorption at pH < 7.0 was consistent with outer-sphere surface complexation, while the ionic strength-independent sorption at pH = 7.0-8.6 was indicative of inner-sphere surface complexation. EXAFS results indicated that the adsorbed Ni(II) consisted of ∼6 O at R(Ni-O) ≈ 2.05 Å. EXAFS analysis from the second shell suggested that three phenomena occurred at the diatomite/water interface: (1) outer-sphere and/or inner-sphere complexation; (2) dissolution of Si which is the rate limiting step during Ni uptake; and (3) extensive growth of surface (co)precipitates. Under acidic conditions, outer-sphere complexation is the main mechanism controlling Ni uptake, which is in good agreement with the macroscopic results. At contact time of 1 h or 1 day or pH = 7.0-8.0, surface coprecipitates occur concurrently with inner-sphere complexes on diatomite surface, whereas at contact time of 1 month or pH = 10.0, surface (co)precipitates dominate Ni uptake. Furthermore, surface loading increases with temperature increasing, and surface coprecipitates become the dominant mechanism at elevated temperature. The results are important to understand Ni interaction with minerals at the solid-water interface, which is helpful to evaluate the mobility of Ni(II) in the natural environment.
