Abstract
Landfill
sites contain abundance of Friedel’s salt. In this study, Friedel’s
salt was prepared by a coprecipitation method and characterized by the
X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR)
spectroscopy. The adsorption characteristics of nitrite on Friedel’s
salt were investigated to reveal the effect of Friedel’s salt on the
migration of nitrite in the landfill. The adsorption was an exothermic
process and could be well described by Lagergren-first-order kinetics
and Langmuir-Freundlich model, with a maximum adsorption capacity of
3.817 mg g-1. Low pH was beneficial to the adsorption process. However, the Cl-, SO42-, PO43- and organic matter in the leachate could restrict the adsorption to a
low level. The results suggested that Friedel’s salt could affect the
migration of nitrite in the landfill, which was related with the
variation of the landfill circumstance.
