PG - 2002-2008 LID - 10.1007/s11356-013-2122-y [doi] AB - Metal cations and organic pollutants mostly co-exist in the natural environment. However, their interactions in adsorption processes have yet to be adequately addressed. In the current study, the effect of inorganic cations with different charges (Ag(+), Zn(2+), and Al(3+)) on the adsorption and desorption of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) onto and from processed ash derived from wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) straw was investigated. The adsorption and desorption of TCP were both nonlinear; the isotherm and kinetics curves fitted well using the Freundlich equation and a pseudo-second-order model, respectively. The presence of Ag(+) promoted TCP adsorption, while Zn(2+) and Al(3+) reduced TCP adsorption onto ash. The desorption of TCP from ash showed obvious hysteresis, and the presence of Ag(+), Zn(2+), and Al(3+) caused the desorption to be less hysteretic. The suppression of TCP adsorption by Zn(2+) and Al(3+) was ascribed to the partial overlapping of adsorption groups between TCP and metal ions. Al(3+) had a stronger inhibition effect than that of Zn(2+) due to its higher binding capacity and larger hydrated ionic radius than those of Zn(2+). Enhanced adsorption of TCP onto ash by Ag(+) was ascribed to its ability to reduce the competitive adsorption of water molecules on ash surface by replacing the original ions, such as Na(+) and Ca(2+), and compressing the hydrated ionic radius of these metal ions. In addition, Ag(+) was able to bind with the aromatic organic compounds containing pi-electrons, which resulted in a further increase of TCP adsorption by ash.
