Summary

Metal(III) phosphates effectively sorb zinc ions (Zn2+) through surface proton exchange. This ion exchange mechanism, influenced by pH and temperature, is crucial for understanding metal phosphate interactions in environmental applications.

  • Ion exchange mechanisms were analyzed to explain metal cation sorption.
  • Henderson-Hasselbach and modified Langmuir equations were employed to determine dissociation and binding constants.

    • Main Results:

    • Ion exchange between surface protons and metal cations was identified as the primary sorption mechanism.
    • Dissociation constants for metal(III) phosphates and binding constants for Zn2+ were determined.
    • The sorption process was endothermic for all metal phosphates studied.
    • Dissociation was endothermic for AlPO(4) and FePO(4), but exothermic for CrPO(4).

    Conclusions:

    • Metal(III) phosphates exhibit significant sorption capacity for Zn2+ via an ion exchange mechanism.
    • The thermodynamic data provides insights into the feasibility and energy changes of the sorption and dissociation processes.
    • Findings contribute to the understanding of metal phosphate interactions for potential environmental applications.
