Phosphate is added to Pb-contaminated soils to induce lead immobilization through lead phosphate precipitation. Organic coatings on soils, which may affect heterogeneous lead phosphate nucleation, can impact the effectiveness of lead immobilization. SiO₂ surfaces were coated with silanol self-assembled thin films terminated with -COOH and -OH functional groups to act as model organic coatings on soil particles. Using grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS), heterogeneous lead phosphate nucleation on coatings was measured from mixed Pb(NO₃)₂ and Na₂HPO₄/NaH₂PO₄ solutions at pH 7 with varied ionic strengths (IS = 0.58, 4, and 11 mM). Raman spectroscopy identified the homogeneous precipitates in solution as hydroxylpyromorphite (Pb₅(PO₄)₃OH). The smallest lead phosphate nuclei (4.5 ± 0.5 nm) were observed on -COOH coatings, which resulted from the highest level of lead and phosphate ion adsorption on -COOH coatings. The IS of the solution also affected the sizes of the heterogeneous precipitates on -COOH coating, with smaller nuclei (1.3 ± 0.4 nm) forming under higher IS (4 and 11 mM). Finally, this study provided new findings that can improve our understanding of lead immobilization in contaminated soil environments.
