CHAPTER 9SURFACE COMPLEXATION MODELING OF HEAVY METAL ADSORPTIONAND COMPETITION ON GOETHITEThis chapter focuses <strong>on</strong> c<strong>on</strong>straining surface complexati<strong>on</strong> modeling with XAS results todevelop <strong>on</strong>e unique set of SCM parameters for the descripti<strong>on</strong> of both <str<strong>on</strong>g>adsorpti<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> edge<strong>and</strong> isotherm data. Data represent those covering a broad range of c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s, includingpH, i<strong>on</strong>ic strength, <str<strong>on</strong>g>metal</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>, <strong>and</strong> the presence of a competing i<strong>on</strong>. Ni(II) <strong>and</strong>Zn(II) are two comm<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>metal</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong>taminants that may coexist due to release fromhistorically poor waste management practices including industries such as electroplating.Ni <strong>and</strong> Zn <str<strong>on</strong>g>adsorpti<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>and</strong> competiti<strong>on</strong> at the goethite/water interface are investigated inthis chapter.First, the <str<strong>on</strong>g>adsorpti<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> mechanism needs to be defined. Based <strong>on</strong> the last chapter Niforms m<strong>on</strong><strong>on</strong>uclear bidentate edge-sharing complexes <strong>on</strong> HFO with loadings up to8.1x10-3 mole Ni g -1 <strong>and</strong> similar surface species may form <strong>on</strong> goethite. Zn(II) was foundto form bidentate surface complexes <strong>on</strong> both 2-line ferrihydrite (Waychunas et al. 2002,2003; Trivedi et al. 2004) <strong>and</strong> goethite (Schlegel et al. 1997; Trivedi et al. 2001a).Schlegel et al. (1997) reported that Zn(II) formed inner-sphere m<strong>on</strong><strong>on</strong>uclear edge- <strong>and</strong>corner-sharing complexes up<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>adsorpti<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> to goethite at 10% prot<strong>on</strong> site coverage (total[Zn] = 2x10 -4 M). Trivedi et al. (2001a) also observed inner-sphere surface complexesup to a loading of 2x10 -5 mol Zn g-1 . For these reas<strong>on</strong>s, bidentate surface complexes areassumed in this study, where SOH represents a surface hydroxyl group <strong>and</strong> the surfacereacti<strong>on</strong> for either Ni or Zn (Me) <strong>on</strong> goethite is the following:124
