Methyl Arsenic Adsorption and Desorption Behavior on Iron Oxides

Lafferty, B. J., Loeppert, R. H.·2005·Environmental Science & Technology

Abstract

In virtually all Earth surface environments, methylated forms of arsenic can be found. Because of the widespread distribution and toxicity of methyl-arsenic compounds, their adsorption by soil minerals is of considerable interest. The objective of this study was to compare the adsorption and desorption behavior of methylarsonic acid (MMAsV), methylarsonous acid (MMAsIII), dimethylarsinic acid (DMAsV), dimethylarsinous acid (DMAsIII), arsenate (iAsV), and arsenite (iAsIII) on iron oxide minerals (goethite and 2-line ferrihydrite) by means of adsorption isotherms, adsorption envelopes, and desorption envelopes (using sulfate and phosphate as desorbing ligands). MMAsIII and DMAsIII were not appreciably retained by goethite or ferrihydrite within the pH range of 3 to 11, while iAsIII was strongly adsorbed to both iron oxides. MMAsV and iAsV were adsorbed in higher amounts than DMAsV on goethite and ferrihydrite at all pH values studied. MMAsV and iAsV exhibited high adsorption affinities on both goethite and ferrihydrite from pH 3 to 10, while DMAsV was adsorbed only at pH values below 8 by ferrihydrite and below 7 by goethite. All arsenic compounds were desorbed more efficiently by phosphate than sulfate. MMAsV, iAsV, and DMAsV each exhibited adsorption characteristics suggesting specific adsorption on both goethite and ferrihydrite. Increased methyl substitution resulted in both decreased adsorbed arsenic at low arsenic concentrations in solution and increased ease of arsenic release from the iron oxide surface.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
