Turbulent effect on heavy metal release from river suspended sediments
Abstract
Heavy metal release is meain 1 y determined by the capacity of water carrying sediments and the turbulent intensity of flow. A formula to calculate the capacity is obtained and the relationship between the concentration of heavy metal release and the turbulent intensity is established. Based on the kinetics of heavy metal release and in view of above relationship, a kinetic model considering water turbulence is developed. The kinetic model is satisfactorily verified by the kinetic process of heavy metal release.
