To evaluate lead(II) adsorption to 2-line ferrihydrite and soil organic matter and establish refined surface complexation parameters for geochemical modeling.
Measured Pb2+ sorption across varying lead-to-iron ratios on synthetic 2-line ferrihydrite and an organic mor layer.
Simulated ferrihydrite adsorption using a surface complexation model with bidentate (=FeOH)2Pb+ complexes and three site-affinity classes, and organic adsorption using the Stockholm Humic Model with 0.2% Pb-specific sites.
Evaluated the revised model parameters against lead(II) binding data from nine Vietnamese soils.
Ferrihydrite exhibited pronounced binding heterogeneity, with ~1% of surface sites adsorbing Pb2+ significantly more strongly than the remaining 99%.
Lead(II) binding to the mor layer exceeded conventional model predictions, requiring expanded heterogeneity parameters and 0.2% specific sites in the Stockholm Humic Model.
Applying the revised parameters improved lead(II) binding predictions across nine Vietnamese soils compared to previous geochemical models.
