To investigate the effects of nano-TiO2 on the adsorption and desorption of Hg2+ in soil of the drawdown area of the Three Gorges Reservoir
nano-TiO2 particles of different crystal structures (anatase and rutile) were selected
and were added to soil to preparade four concentrations (0
2
4
and 8 g/kg) samples. Meanwhile
Hg2+ solutions with different Hg2+ concentrations were preparade to conduct the Hg2+ adsorption and desorption experiments. The results showed that nano-TiO2 particles increased Hg2+adsorption capacity of soil
but it was affected by the crystal form and concentration of nano-TiO2 particles. The adsorption capacity of anatase particles was stronger than that of rutile particles
and adsorbed Hg2+ was difficult to be desorbed. In anatase particles treatments
when the concentration of nano-TiO2 particles was 4 g/kg
its Hg2+adsorption capacity was the largest
which was 32.65% higher than that of the control group
and its desorption rate was lower than that of the control group. In the treatments with rutile particles
the amount of adsorbed Hg2+ increased with increasing of particle concentration
however Hg2+ was easily desorbed. When the particles concentration was 8 g/kg
its adsorption capacity was the maximum and was 18.18% higher than that of the control group
but its desorption rate was the largest. Nano-TiO2 particles
especially anatase particles
enhance the Hg2+ adsorption capacity of soil
and this may impact the migration and transformation of Hg2+ in the environment.
