Popis: | The sorption processes of Se(IV) onto γ-Al2O3 were studied by in situ Infrared spectroscopy, batch sorption studies, zeta potential measurements and surface complexation modeling (SCM) in the pH range from 5 to 10. In situ attenuated total reflection fourier-transform infrared (ATR FT-IR) spectroscopy revealed the predominant formation of a single inner-sphere surface species at the alumina surface, supporting previously reported EXAFS results, irrespective of the presence or absence of atmospherically derived carbonate. The adsorption of Se(IV) decreased with increasing pH, and no impact of the ionic strength was observed in the range from 0.01 to 0.1 mol L–1 NaCl. Inner-sphere surface complexation was also suggested from the shift of the isoelectric point of γ-Al2O3 observed during zeta potential measurements when Se(IV) concentration was 10–4 mol L–1. Based on these qualitative findings, the acid–base surface properties of γ-Al2O3 and the Se(IV) adsorption edges were successfully described using a 1-pK... |
