The adsorption mechanisms of Ph2+, Cd2+ and Sr2+ ions on natural sepiolite and the influence of acid treatment on the adsorption capacity of sepiolite were investigated. The point of zero charge pH(pzc), is 7.4 +/- 0.1 for natural sepiolite and 6.9 +/- 0.1 for partially acid-activated sepiolite. The shift of the pH(pzc) of sepiolites toward lower pH values in solutions of Ph2+ and Cd2+ ions indicates that specific adsorption of these cations on natural and acid-activated sepiolites occurred, which was more pronounced for Pb2+ ions than for Cd2+ ions. There was no shift of the pH(pzc) in Solution containing Sr2+ ions, suggesting that specific adsorption of this cation did not occur. The affinity for ion exchange with the Mg2+ ions from the sepiolite structure was the highest for Pb2+ ions, then Cd2+, whereas the affinity for Sr2+ ions was negligible. The adsorption isotherms suggest that the sequence of the efficiency of the sepiolites adsorption is Ph2+ gt Cd2+ gt Sr2+. The retention o...f Pb2+ and Cd2+ ions by sepiolite occurs dominantly by specific adsorption and exchange of Mg2+ ions from the sepiolite structure. The concentration in the external outer sphere of the Stem layer by electrostatic forces is the dominant mechanism for the retention of Sr2+ ions on the surface of sepiolites. Despite increases in the surface areas upon acid activation, improvements in the adsorption were not observed, as a result of the decreasing number of Mg-OH groups, as main centers for specific adsorption, and the number of Mg2+ ions available for ion exchange with Pb2+, Cd2+ and Sr2+ ions. The removal of Mg-OH groups from the sepiolite also resulted in a decrease in the point of zero charge and an increase of the relative surface acidity, from 2.6 +/- 0.1 for the natural to 6.4 +/- 0.1 for the acid-activated sepiolite.
