[HTT16-P09] Evaluating temperature dependence of arsenic and boron adsorption onto sediments
キーワード:温度依存性、吸着、ヒ素、ホウ素、堆積物
Subsurface temperature increase likely due to global warming and urbanization has been observed all over the world. This phenomenon may cause changes in physical, chemical, and microbial processes in subsurface environment, resulting in groundwater quality changes. The effect of temperature increase on subsurface environment including groundwater system has not been sufficiently clarified. The objective of this study was therefore to clarify temperature dependence of arsenic and boron adsorption onto sediments based on batch adsorption experiments under 20oC and 40oC conditions. Completely different two samples of Holocene (non-marine sediment) and Miocene deposits (marine sediment) were used in this study. The adsorbed amount of arsenic at 40oC was significantly higher than that at 20oC, suggesting clear temperature dependence for arsenic. Oppositely, the adsorbed amount of boron was not clearly affected by temperature.
