Title: Heterogeneous Lead Phosphate Nucleation at Organic–Water Interfaces: Implications for Lead Immobilization

Abstract

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.

Formation of pyromorphite in anglesite-hydroxyapatite suspensions

Journal Article Zhang, P ; Ryan, J A - Environmental Science and Technology

Addition of phosphate to lead [Pb(II)]-contaminated soil to immobilize soil Pb by formation of pyromorphite has been proposed as an alternative remediation technique. Lead sulfate (PbSO{sub 4}, anglesite), a Pb-bearing form found in contaminated soils and wastes, was reacted with a synthetic phosphate mineral, hydroxyapatite [Ca{sub 5}(PO{sub 4}){sub 3}OH], under constant pH and simulated gastric pH conditions to assess the effects of reaction kinetics on the formation rate of chloropyromorphite and the solubility of Pb. Under constant pH condition, complete transformation of anglesite to chloropyromorphite, [Pb{sub 5}(PO{sub 4}){sub 3}Cl], was obtained at pH 4 and pH 5. At pH 6more »« less

In situ Pb immobilization by phosphate rocks from Pb contaminated soils

Conference Rao, G N ; Ma, Q Y

Extensive use and widespread disposal of Ph in the environment have resulted in numerous cases of Pb-contaminated soils and wastes. This study is to develop a methodology to immobilize Ph in situ in contaminated soils and wastes using phosphate rock [Ca{sub 10}(PO{sub 4}){sub 6}F{sub 2}]. Various phosphate rock samples were reacted with Pb-contaminated soils. The phosphate rocks were effective in immobilizing dissolved Ph from contaminated soils with the percent of lead removal ranging from 4.73 to 100%. The main mechanism of Ph immobilization was through phosphate rock dissolution and precipitation of fluoropyromorphite [Pb{sub 10}(PO{sub 4}){sub 6}F{sub 2}]. However, precipitation ofmore »« less
Different Arsenate and Phosphate Incorporation Effects on the Nucleation and Growth of Iron(III) (Hydr)oxides on Quartz

Journal Article Neil, Chelsea W. ; Lee, Byeongdu ; Jun, Young-Shin - Environmental Science and Technology

Iron(III) (hydr)oxides play an important role in the geochemical cycling of contaminants in natural and engineered aquatic systems. The ability of iron(III) (hydr)oxides to immobilize contaminants can be related to whether the precipitates form heterogeneously (e.g., at mineral surfaces) or homogeneously in solution. Utilizing grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS), we studied heterogeneous iron(III) (hydr)oxide nucleation and growth on quartz substrates for systems containing arsenate and phosphate anions. For the iron(III) only system, the radius of gyration ( R g ) of heterogeneously formed precipitates grew from 1.5 to 2.5 ( ± 1.0) nm within 1 h. For the systemmore »« less

Chemistry of lead and cadmium in soil: solid phase formation

Journal Article Santillan-Medrano, J ; Jurinak, J J - Soil Sci. Soc. Am., Proc.; (United States)

Equilibrium batch studies were conducted to obtain solubility data of Pb and Cd in soils. The data were plotted on equilibrium solubility diagrams using pH as the master variable. In the construction of the diagram the hydroxide, carbonate, and phosphate compounds of Pb and Cd were given particular attention. Both Pb and Cd solubility decreased in the soils as pH increased. The lowest values were obtained in the calcareous soil. Under a given set of conditions, however, Cd activity in solution was always notably greater than that of Pb. In noncalcareous soils the solubility of Pb appeared to be regulatedmore »« less
