Modeling of heavy metal sorption onto hydroxides in presence of EDTA
Abstract
Theoretical modeling of equilibria in several heterogeneous systems: metal cation (Pb(II), Сu(II),
Zn(II), Cd(II))–EDTA–sorbent (hydroxides of Fe(III), Al (III), Mn(IV)) has been performed.
Competitive solution reactions of metal-EDTA complex formation lead to essential decrease in sorption
of all metals. The degree of desorption was influenced by the number of factors (the nature of metal and
sorbent, solution acidity, EDTA concentration). The ability of EDTA-induced heavy metals
remobilization in natural and technical systems and processes has been analyzed.
