This study is to determine the spatial distribution characteristics of Cu and Zn adsorption on the sediments of the estuary of Dianchi Lake, as well as the composite adsorption law of Cu and Zn on combinations of sediment organic matter, metal oxides, and organic–inorganic composites. The relationship between the adsorption contribution of each component of the substance. A static adsorption experiment was applied to the sediments in the estuary of Dianchi Lake. The relationship between adsorption capacity and sediment composition was analyzed through correlation analysis and redundant analysis. The results show that along the direction of the river flow and the vertical depth, the adsorption capacity presents a relatively obvious spatial distribution law; the change trend of sediment component content is not the same as the change trend of Cu and Zn adsorption capacity. The change trend of the sediment component content is not the same as the change trend of the adsorption amount of Cu and Zn, and the compound effect between the components affects the adsorption amount. The adsorption of Cu by the four groups of sediments after different treatments is more in line with the Freundlich isotherm adsorption model; When adsorbing Zn, the untreated and removed organic matter and iron-aluminum oxide group are in good agreement with the Freundlich model, while the organic matter-removed group and the iron-aluminum oxide removal group are more consistent with the Langmuir isotherm adsorption model; The adsorption contribution rate of organic–inorganic composites in sediments is not a simple addition of organic matter and iron-aluminum oxides, but a more complex quantitative relationship.
The relationship between the complexation amount of thorium (Th) and Suwannee River fulvic acid (SRFA) and the changes in Th concentration and pH were studied using differential spectroscopy and 3D excitation-emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy (3D EEM). Experiments were performed at different Th concentrations and pH values. In the differential spectra at different concentrations, four bands of aromatic components appeared, and thorium was complexed with the carboxyl groups in SRFA. The 3D EEM spectra showed a fulvic acid-like fluorescence region, a visible-light fulvic acid region, and the blueshift phenomenon. The fluorescence intensity decreased with increasing thorium concentration and increased with increasing pH. The results showed that the amount of complexation of thorium and SRFA increased with increasing thorium concentration, and high pH was not conducive to the complexation of thorium and SRFA.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
