Adsorption of phosphate by various oxides: theoretical treatment of adsorption envelope

An explanation is put forward for the shape of adsorption envelopes found for phosphate adsorption by various metallic oxides. The equation xm= C1(mH3PO4+mEanions) is proposed, where mH3PO4 is the chemical potential of undissociated H3PO4; mEanions is the chemical potential of all phosphate anions c...

Sumario:An explanation is put forward for the shape of adsorption envelopes found for phosphate adsorption by various metallic oxides. The equation xm= C1(mH3PO4+mEanions) is proposed, where mH3PO4 is the chemical potential of undissociated H3PO4; mEanions is the chemical potential of all phosphate anions considered as one component; C1 is a constant that includes influences of surface charge, chemical affinity of the metal for phosphate, specific surface area, etc., and xm is the calculated Langmuir maximum adsorption of P at each pH. The dependence of C1 on the metal present in the oxide is shown.
