ABSTRACT
Oxides of Fe and Mn in soils are capable of sorbing large amounts of trace metal ions and can therefore be important in controlling trace metal concentrations in soil solution, and hence trace metal bioavailability in soils. There is, however, relatively little information on the rates of desorption of trace metals from oxide materials or on the factors affecting desorption rates. The objective of this study was to examine the kinetics of desorption of Cd and Co from two Fe oxides, goethite and ferrihydrite, and from two Mn oxides, hausmannite and cryptomelane. The concentrations of Cd and Co specifically sorbed by the oxides at pH 6.0 were greater for the Mn oxides than for the Fe oxides. The metals were also much less readily desorbed from the Mn than the Fe oxides and, in general, Cd was more readily desorbed than Co from all four oxides. Increasing the initial sorption period from 1 to 15 wk substantially decreased the proportion of sorbed Cd or Co subsequently desorbed from goethite, with a similar but much smaller effect also observed with the Mn oxides. Desorption kinetics for both Cd and Co were found to be described well by assuming either the occurrence of two simultaneous first-order desorption reactions, or by a continuous distribution of reaction sites, distributed lognormally with respect to desorption first-order rate constant. With increasing initial sorption period, the parameters obtained from fitting either type of kinetic equation to the experimental data could be interpreted as indicating a movement of metal ions to sites with slower desorption reactions.
