ADSORPTION OF LANTHANUM BY NAVY GRAY PAINTED SURFACES

Abstract

Lanthanum adsorption by Navy gray paint surfaces and by powdered TiO2 (a pigment in paint) was studied as a function of lanthanum concentration, pH, and inert electrolyte concentration and for the paint only as a function of contact time. Lanthanum adsorption was measured by use of the radiotracer La140. The paint was found to readily adsorb lanthanum up to approximately 3 x 10 to the -6th power g/sq cm, while adsorption by the TiO2 was very small and could not account for the adsorptivity of the paint.
