The removal of Cd by sulfidated nanoscale zero-valent iron: The structural, chemical bonding evolution and the reaction kinetics

Li Liang,Xiaoqin Li,Zhang Lin,Chen Tian,Yiqing Guo

In this study, the microstructure of sulfidated nanoscale zero-valent iron (S-nZVI), and the reaction mechanism with cadmium (Cd) were investigated. Combining with spherical aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope (Cs-STEM), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR), it was found that the one-step synthesized S-nZVI with Na 2 S as the sulfidation reagent is irregular in shape and consisted of heterogeneous mixtures of Fe 0 , amorphous FeS, and Fe 3 O 4 . The dominant reaction mechanism between S-nZVI and Cd is displacement of Fe in FeS and the formation of CdS. The effects of Cd initial concentration, Mg 2+ , NO 3 − , and humic acid (HA) on the reaction kinetics were also studied. The removal capacity of Cd by S-nZVI can reach up to 495 mg/g, which is significantly higher than other S-nZVI and adsorbents. The reactions follow pseudo-second-order adsorption model, with chemisorption as the rate limiting step during the displacement reaction. Low concentration of Mg 2+ (<30 mg/L), NO 3 − (<60 mg/L), and HA (<10 mg/L) slightly decreases the removal of Cd due to the competition. Moreover, S-nZVI shows high efficiency and stability towards the removal of both free Cd ions and EDTA-chelated Cd during the concentration investigated. Overall, the study shows that sulfur plays a critical role in the particle microstructure and transformation of Cd in the environment.
