摘要

Because of the severity of heavy metal contamination and the potential adverse health impact on the public, a tremendous effort has taken place to remediate lands and waters containing toxic metal ions. Traditional methods which have been employed, prove to be costly and prohibitive for low level waste remediation. Due to the economic barrier for remediation, there has been a great deal of attention to the use of both living and non-living biological materials for the economical remediation of toxic metal ions from industrial waste waters and mining effluents. Most recently, plant based biomaterials have been of interest. Unlike typical synthetic ion-exchange resins, plant based biomaterials do not require regeneration and conversion. Therefore, plant based biomaterial systems may be effective for the removal of heavy metal ions from the environment in a cost effective fashion. Biosorption or metal binding by inactivated biological materials occurs through the coordination of metal ions to different functional groups. Gardea-Torresdey et al. found that carboxyl groups were responsible for a great portion of copper(II) and aluminum(III) binding on algal cell walls as well as copper adsorption by sphagnum peat moss and its different humic substances. Chemical probe analysis to determine metal site binding was performed by both Rayson et al. and Majidi et al. using ~(113)Cd nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Studies performed by Kuyucak et al. determined that carboxyl groups are responsible for the binding of cobalt to the nonliving biomass of the common seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum. Therefore, chemical functional groups have shown to be important to the binding of metal ions to biomaterials. Alfalfa has shown to be very effective at the removal and recovery of several heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. Although much information has been gained on the binding of metal ions to the alfalfa biomass, relatively little information has been obtained in relation to the actual metal binding chemical groups. X-ray absorption spectroscopic studies previously performed indicated that some of the metal binding by alfalfa biomass may be occurring through an oxygen ligand (possibly carboxyl groups) for some metals, while other metals could be partially binding through nitrogen ligands. Consequently the metal binding mechanism in the alfalfa biomass is not completely understood. Therefore, additional investigation is necessary to determine what chemical functional groups are responsible for binding of different heavy metal ions and in what proportions. The objective of this study is to determine the extent of metal binding occurring through nitrogen ligands. This was accomplished by chemically modifying the available amino groups. Two methods of chemical modification were used; acetylation of the biomass, and succination of the biomass. Through acetylation of the biomass, the available amino ligands were blocked through the addition of acetic anhydride, thereby reducing the metal binding to the available nitrogen ligands. In addition, succination of the biomass was performed which would add a carboxyl group onto the modified nitrogen ligand. Since carboxyl groups have been shown to play an important role in metal binding, succination of the biomass should increase the metal binding and indicate the metal binding ability of available modified amino groups. A comparison of the metal binding capacities by the acetylated biomass, succinated biomass, and control biomass, will show the percentage of metal binding by amino ligands in the alfalfa biomass for the different metal ions studied. By determining the metal binding sites in the alfalfa biomass, a new treatment technology of heavy metal contaminated ground waters can be further understood and developed.
