The angle of diffraction can then be used to determine the difference between atomic planes using Bragg’s law, \(sin Θ = nλ / 2d\) where lambda is the wavelength added, theta is the angle of diffraction, and d is the distance between atomic planes. The greater amplitude of the wave translates into a greater signal for this specific angle of diffraction. Constructive interference is when the x-ray beams that are whole number integers of the same wavelength add together to create a new beam with a higher amplitude. Some of these diffracted beams cancel each other out, but if the beams have similar wavelengths, then constructive interference occurs. The x-rays then pass through the sample, “bouncing” off of the atoms in the structure, and changing the direction of the beam at some different angle, theta, from the original beam. X-ray beams are chosen because their wavelength is similar to the spacing between atoms in the sample, so the angle of diffraction will be affected by the spacing of the atoms in the molecule, as opposed to using much larger wavelengths, which would be unaltered by the spacing between atoms. This technique sends x-ray beams through it. If the crystal size is too small, it can determine sample composition, crystallinity, and phase purity. For larger crystals such as macromolecules and inorganic compounds, it can be used to determine the structure of atoms within the sample. X-ray diffraction is a common technique that determine a sample's composition or crystalline structure. Effect of adsorbed complexing ligands on trace metal uptake by hydrous oxides.

Comparing two methods of sequential fractionation in the study of copper compounds in Haplic chernozem under model experimental conditions. Competitive adsorption of copper and zinc by a Bt horizon of a savanna Alfisol as affected by pH and selective removal of hydrous oxides and organic matter. Thus, the combination of both physicochemical methods and direct physical methods can provide a large amount of real information about the mechanisms of HM retain with solid phases.Ĭompetitive adsorption Floodplain soils Langmuir model Layered minerals Pollution Potentially toxic elements Sedimentation X-ray powder diffraction XANES spectroscopy.Īgbenin, J. Direct physical methods of nondestructive testing (XAFS and XRD) are applied to experimentally prove the formation of these HM compounds on the surface of montmorillonite, the dominant mineral in hydromorphic soils, and calcite. Based on theoretical calculations of ion activity in soil solutions using solubility diagrams of Cu and Zn compounds, the possibility of precipitation of Cu hydroxide and Zn carbonate in the studied soils is shown. The retention mechanisms of HM in hydromorphic soils are considered. The Zn is likely to be the most critical environmental factor in such soils since it exhibited a decreased sorption under competitive conditions. In all cases, Cu had a higher range of values of the adsorption process parameters relative to Zn. The results suggest that the calcaric fluvic arenosols are more vulnerable to heavy metal input compared to fluvisols loamic. It is established that the sorption processes were best described with the Langmuir model. The individual and competitive adsorption behaviors of Cu and Zn on soils and soil constituents are evaluated comprehensively. The present study focuses on adsorption of HM ions on two types of hydromorphic soils, including calcaric fluvisols loamic and calcaric fluvic arenosols. Modeling metal sorption in soils is of great importance to predict the fate of heavy metals and to assess the actual risk driven from pollution.
