Abstract
The acid–base surface properties of vivianite crystals highly affect the adsorption capacity of vivianite for heavy metals and organic matters in aqueous solution. Therefore, the aim of the study was to innovatively explore and quantify the acid–base surface characterization of vivianite crystals in aqueous solution. It was found that the two surface active adsorption sites (≡POH and ≡FeOH) and five surface species thereof (i.e., ≡PO, ≡POH, ≡FeOH, ≡FeO−, and ≡FeOH2+) underwent surface reaction on vivianite crystals. Moreover, the active surface site and point of zero charge of vivianite crystals were 18 sites/nm2 and pH 5.9. Importantly, constant capacitance model was successfully employed to model the titration data, from which the distribution of surface species as function of pH and surface reaction constants were also accurately derived. The finding herein can be applied for plausible modeling molecular‐scale adsorption of the impurities on vivianite surface.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
