Article Synopsis
- The study examined the effectiveness of the eco-friendly biosurfactant saponin in leaching out copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) from contaminated Lou soil using batch tests under various conditions.
- The optimal conditions for leaching were identified as a saponin concentration of 50 g/L, a pH of 5.0, a reaction time of 240 minutes, and no background electrolyte, achieving higher removal efficiencies especially for lead.
- After multiple leachings, cumulative removal percentages showed that saponin significantly increases the mobility of both metals, with lead being removed more effectively than copper.
Under different modified ratios, temperatures, pH and ionic strengths, the effect of sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDS) on the adsorption of Cd2+ onto bentonites which modified with amphoteric modifier dodecyl dimethyl betaine (BS-12) was studied by batch experiments, and the adsorption mechanism was also discussed. Results showed that the adsorption of Cd2+ on amphoteric bentonites can be enhanced significantly by SDS combined modification, Cd2+ adsorption decreases in the order: BS + 150SDS (BS-12 + 150% SDS) > BS + 100SDS (BS-12 + 100% SDS) > BS +50SDS(BS-12 + 50% SDS) > BS + 25SDS (BS-12 + 25% SDS) > BS (BS-12) > CK (unmodified soil). The adsorption isotherm can be described by the Langmuir equation.

The SBA-15 and modified SBA-15 samples were used as sorbents to adsorb Cd(II) ions from aqueous solution. The effect of experimental parameters, such as pH, contact time, sorbent dosage and temperature were examined, and the maximum adsorption amount was also calculated.

Ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), citric acid (CIT) and dirhamnolipid (RL2) were selected as the eluent. Batch experiments and column experiments were conducted to investigate the leaching effect of the three kinds of eluent, as well as the mixture of biosurfactant and chelating agent for Cu, Pb contaminated loess soil.
