利用電化學探討土壤奈米粒子對重金屬的吸附
由於工商科技的發展帶給環境負面的影響日漸嚴重，其中尤以重金屬對台灣環境的影響較為顯著，故探討能移除排放廢水中的重金屬之有效天然資材有其重要性。以台灣天然存在之大地資源土壤中的奈米粒子來進行對汞、鎘的吸附，試驗結果得知，台灣三種代表性土類土壤中的奈米粒子確實能有效地吸附汞離子和鎘離子，且其中以對汞的吸附要大於對鎘的吸附。屬於砂頁岩沖積土的奈米粒子對汞、鎘的吸附最大，其次是黏板岩沖積土的奈米粒子，而最小的則是屬於台灣紅壤的奈米粒子。以上結果經由電化學方波伏安法的測定、電導度計法的測定與發芽率試驗結果都有相同的趨勢，顯示土壤奈米粒子可用來當作移除汞、鎘等重金屬的天然資材。 ;Effects of heavy metals are significant in Taiwanese environment due to serious impact of environment was made by development of industry and commerce. Therefore, study of removing heavy metals from waste water by natural materials is important. We need nanoparticles of natural soils to study the adsorption of mercury and cadmium ions. The experimental results indicated nanoparticles of three represent soil groups in Taiwan could adsorb effectively mercury and cadmium ions, and the adsorption of mercury ion was more than that of cadmium ion. The nanoparticles of sandstone-shale alluvial soil had largest adsorption for mercury and cadmium ions, and next for that of slate alluvial soil. The nanoparticles of red soil had smallest adsorption. All results were proved by voltammetry of electrochemistry, conductivity method and germinant percentage of vegetable seed. That obviously revealed soil nanoparticles could remove effectively mercury and cadmium ions.
