Abstract
The use of trichlorphon in large quantities causes a large number of organic pollutants to enter water,sediments,and soils.Phyllosilicate minerals are considered effective adsorbents for organic pollutants.However,the adsorption behavior of organic pollutants on soil minerals affected by low-molecular-weight organic acids(LMWOAs)is not fully understood.In this study,the effect of LMWOAs on the adsorption behavior of trichlorphon on phyllosilicate minerals was investigated using a combination of adsorption measurements and molecular spectroscopic techniques(attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(ATR-FTIR)and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)).The adsorption of trichlorphon onto kaolinite(KAO)and montmorillonite(MON)was suppressed by increasing pH,indicating that electrostatic interaction played a key role in adsorption,especially at low pH.In the presence of citric acid(CA),there was an obvious promotion of trichlorphon adsorption on KAO and MON.In the presence of oxalic acid(OA),the adsorption of trichlorphon on KAO was promoted,whereas the adsorption on MON was inhibited,especially at pH 4.0.The presence of CA and OA increased the adsorption by increasing the exposure of hydrophobic sites of KAO and MON.The results from ATR-FTIR and XPS also indicated that the hydrophobic Si-O sites of phyllosilicate minerals were the preferred adsorption sites for trichlorphon in the presence of CA and OA,probably driven by the hydrophobic effect.However,the weak effect of OA on MON caused an increase in the electrostatic repulsion between MON and trichlorphon molecules,thus inhibiting adsorption.This study is significant for a deeper understanding of self-purification of soil and sediment systems in the presence of organic pollutants.
