ADSORPTION-DESORPTION OF TRACE ELEMENTS IN SEDIMENTS OF THE MAIPO RIVER BASIN
ABSTRACT We studied the adsorption-desorption of Cu, Mn, Pb and Zn in Maipo river basin, one of the most perturbed rivers in Chile, and thus determined its tolerance to the addition of these metals into the sediments and the possibility of transferring the metals from the sediments to the water colu...

ABSTRACT We studied the adsorption-desorption of Cu, Mn, Pb and Zn in Maipo river basin, one of the most perturbed rivers in Chile, and thus determined its tolerance to the addition of these metals into the sediments and the possibility of transferring the metals from the sediments to the water column. Sediments were sampled from six sites from the river basin and characterized by their pH, electrical conductivity, organic carbon, total organic carbon, water soluble phosphorus and texture. Batch sorption and kinetics experiments were conducted to obtain the retained amounts onto the sediment samples. The initial concentration of trace elements in the sediment was quantified by AAS. The metals were present in most of the sites. Sorption parameters such as Kd and Koc were determined.
