Abstract
To understand the strong pH dependency of cadmium adsorption by oxic sediment, we investigated the surface charge of sediment particles by potentiometric titration with acid and base. Metal adsorbed by sediment can occur by complexation of metal ions with weakly acidic functional groups or by ion exchange of metal ions. A multi-site binding model, which incorporates the effect of pH, has been applied to describe the adsorption of cadmium onto sediment. The model has been used to satisfactorily predict the extent of adsorption over the pH range of 4.5–7.0.
