The differences between kaolinite and smectite structures are notable, mainly as a result of the degree of weathering in the different compounds. Nevertheless, the kaolinite structure possesses great advantages in many processes due to its high chemical stability and low expansion coefficient. As a consequence of adsorption, the kaolinite structure and the soil solution pH will change. To analyze the adsorption behaviour of kaolinite, Pb, Zn and Cd were studied at three different concentrations (1, 2 and 3 mmol/l) and over different periods of exposure (0.1, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 h). The kaolinite retained up to 10.0 mumol/g of Pb, 8.40 mumol/g of Zn and 6.00 mumol/g of Cd when it was mixed with the 3 mmol/l concentration of heavy metals. In each case, the adsorption eventually reduced the solution pH from 4.6 to 3.7. The changes in pH over time indicated both the release and retention of hydrogen ions by the mineral, probably involving the hydroxyl edge sites and exposed hydroxyl planes. The size of the atomic radii are 1.81, 1.71 and 1.53 Angstrom for Pb, Cd and Zn, respectively, compared to the 0.79 Angstrom for H. This difference, along with the differences in hydrated radii, will affect the structure of the clay causing stress in the molecule. Changes in the mechanical and chemical properties of the clay are discussed as the interactions of the heavy metal cations with the kaolinite could affect the structure of the kaolinite and influence properties such as swelling capacity, compaction capability and the double-layer behaviour. The kaolinite in this study contained some illite which may have increased the pH 7 cation exchange capacity to 17.8 mEq/100 g. Using the adsorption data, the reactions at the clay water interphase and the probable effects on the physical properties and structure of kaolinite are discussed. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V.
