ABSTRACT
      The kinetics of H+ releasing after Pb2+ adsorption was studied by the potentiometric method combined with the acid-base titration curve technique. Results showed that pH of latosol, red soil and kaolinite suspensions dropped sharply, and then decreased gradually. Most of the H+ exchanged, more than 60%, was displaced at the first minute after Pb2+ was added into the suspension. More H+ was released at a higher concentration of Pb2+ added for a given sample and the amount of H+ released decreased in the order of red soil > latosol > kaolinite at a given concentration. The time-dependent data of H+ releasing of latosol, red soil and kaolinite at two concentrations could be fitted best with the second-order equation among the six equations, including second-order equation, two-constant equation, Elovich equation, parabolic diffusion equation, first-order equation and exponential equation. The H+/Pb2+ exchange stoichiometry increased with time, and a stable ratio of H+/Pb2+, being 1.73, 1.92 and 2.01 for kaolinite, latosol and red soil, respectively, was reached 25 minutes later.
