Adsorption/desorption characteristics of lead on various types of soil
Laboratory studies were conducted to address the phenomena of adsorption/desorption of lead onto various types of soils, both in the absence and presence of the chelating agent, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). The linear and Freundlich isotherm models provided adequate description of the adsorption/desorption behavior. Over the range of EDTA concentrations employed in the study (0.01 to 0.10M), no significant difference in the isotherm parameters was observed as a result of the applied EDTA concentration. The presence of EDTA significantly altered the adsorption/desorption behavior of lead on the soil, resulting in less of the metal being adsorbed. The soil with the higher silt/clay content had a greater amount of lead adsorbed onto it (as compared with the sandy soil).
