The ability of two municipal solid waste composts (MSW-C) to sorb As(V) in the presence of Pb(II) and in acidic conditions was investigated. Sorption isotherms and kinetics showed that both MSW-C were able to sorb As(V) in a similar way (similar to 0.24 mmol g(-1) MSW-C), but only when Pb(II) was present (0.45 mmol L-1). The concomitant sorption of Pb(II) by both MSW-C (similar to 0.40 mmol g(-1)) suggested that the metal cation was likely acting as bridging element between the negatively charged functional groups of composts and As(V). SEM-EDX analysis of the MSW-C + Pb(II) + As(V) systems supported the association between Pb(II) and As(V), while sequential extraction procedures and organic acids treatment showed that As(V) was strongly retained by MSW-C + Pb(II) and suggested the presence of different interaction types between As(V) and Pb(II). Plant growth experiments highlighted the key role of Pb(II) in the reduction of As(V)-phytotoxicity for triticale plants (x Triticosecale Wittm.) in the presence of MSW-C.

Abstract
The ability of two municipal solid waste composts (MSW-C) to sorb As(V) in the presence of Pb(II) and in acidic conditions was investigated. Sorption isotherms and kinetics showed that both MSW-C were able to sorb As(V) in a similar way (similar to 0.24 mmol g(-1) MSW-C), but only when Pb(II) was present (0.45 mmol L-1). The concomitant sorption of Pb(II) by both MSW-C (similar to 0.40 mmol g(-1)) suggested that the metal cation was likely acting as bridging element between the negatively charged functional groups of composts and As(V). SEM-EDX analysis of the MSW-C + Pb(II) + As(V) systems supported the association between Pb(II) and As(V), while sequential extraction procedures and organic acids treatment showed that As(V) was strongly retained by MSW-C + Pb(II) and suggested the presence of different interaction types between As(V) and Pb(II). Plant growth experiments highlighted the key role of Pb(II) in the reduction of As(V)-phytotoxicity for triticale plants (x Triticosecale Wittm.) in the presence of MSW-C.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
