| Abstract: |
| The effects of 2,3-Pyridinedicarboxylic acid and 4,5-Imidazoledicarboxylic acid on Cd2+ adsorption on four soils with different characteristics(Wujin, Wuxian, Nanjing and Yixing soils) were investigated. Results showed that the adsorption of Cd2+ on soils depended on the characteristics of soils. The presence of ionic liquids significantly affected the adsorption of Cd2+ on soils. Compared with the control, the presence of 1 mmol·L-1 2,3-Pyridinedicarboxylic acid reduced the maximum adsorption of Cd2+ on Wujin, Wuxian, Nanjing and Yixing soils by 209, 834, 667 and 509 mg·kg-1, respectively, whereas adding 1 mmol·L-1 4,5-Imidazoledicarboxylic acid decreased the maximum Cd2+ adsorption by 226, 54, 124 and 81 mg·kg-1 on Wujin, Wuxian, Nanjing, and Yixing soils, respectively. Therefore, 2,3-Pyridinedicarboxylic acid showed greater effects on Cd2+ adsorption on tested soils than 4,5-Imidazoledicarboxylic acid did. The free Cd2+ ions in the equilibrium solution measured by Cd ion selective electrode showed that both ionic liquids were able to complex with Cd2+, leading to decreased Cd2+ ion concentrations in soil solution, and consequently reduced Cd2+ adsorption on soils. The complexing capability of 2,3-Pyridinedicarboxylic was stronger than that of 4,5-Imidazoledicarboxylic acid, which resulted in greater inhibition of Cd2+ sorption on soils. Our results indicate that ionic liquids could decrease the adsorption of Cd2+ on soils, but increase the mobilization and environmental risk of soil Cd2+. |
