| Abstract | Calcium-oxalates (Ca-Ox), which are widely produced by microorganisms and plants, are ubiquitous and persistent biominerals in the biosphere. We investigated the potential trapping of two phytotoxic metals, cadmium (Cd) and zinc (Zn) by isomorphous substitution into the crystalline structure of Ca-Ox precipitated over a wide range of Cd /Ca or Zn /Ca ratio in solution. We employed atomic absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and optical microscopy to evaluate our hypotheses that favorable solid-solution conditions and structural framework of crystal habits promote selective metal trapping within Ca-Ox precipitates. Chemical analysis demonstrated more effective Cd-Ox/Ca-Ox than Zn-Ox/Ca-Ox co-precipitate formation at the same trace metal mole fraction in solution. The XRD results revealed sequestration of Cd, but not Zn, within Ca-Ox monohydrate (whewellite). Comparative chemical analysis with Cd-Ox formation in the absence of Ca-Ox showed that the whewellite solid-solution formation lowered the solubility of Cd below that of pure Cd-Ox. The XRD patterns indicated that Zn precipitated as a separate pure Zn-Ox crystal that is largely excluded from the Ca-Ox structure. Furthermore, the presence of Zn in solution favored the formation of the less stable Ca-Ox dihydrate (weddellite) over whewellite. In agreement with the XRD data, visualization of the co-precipitates by optical microscopy illustrated combined mineral phases of Cd-Ox with Ca-Ox whereas Zn-Ox and Ca-Ox exhibited two distinct mineral morphologies. Our findings shed light into the structural factors that are most critical in facilitating the trapping of toxic trace metals within Ca-Ox crystals. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
