电动修复不同形态铬污染土壤的研究

研究了土壤中铬的价态对电动修复效率的影响以及电动修复前后土壤中铬形态的变化.结果表明,电动修复对于土壤中1 000 mg Cr(Ⅵ)/kg的去除效果明显,总铬去除率达59.7%;而对1 000 mg Cr(Ⅲ)/kg的去除效率较低,仅为6.2%;Cr(Ⅲ)和Cr(Ⅵ)(各500 mg/kg)同时污染的土壤,铬的去除率介于中间,为18.7%.电动修复前后,土壤中铬的形态也发生了明显的变化.其中,电动修复对土壤中Cr(Ⅵ)的提取形态影响最大,而对Cr(Ⅲ)提取形态并无太大的影响.总体上,电动修复后对于生物有效的弱酸可提取态铬的浓度都保持在较低水平,预期铬的环境风险(物理流动性和生态风险)将大大降低.     

土壤中铬电动修复过程及影响因素

实验筛选出阳极pH、阴极pH、电压梯度、电极形状4种影响因素,以黏土为研究对象,设计正交实验和对比实验研究铬的电动修复过程。结果表明,最重要的影响因素为电压梯度,其他影响因素重要性排序为阳极pH、阴极pH、电极形状;在电压梯度为1.5 V·cm~(-1)下,以去离子水作为电解质,分别控制阴极和阳极pH在11和3,取得很好的去除效果,144 h后铬迁移率达到80.9%。总铬和六价铬分布规律类似,从阳极到阴极呈现逐渐下降的趋势。经过电动修复后土壤中水溶态铬比例减少,可氧化态和残渣态比例增大。铬电动修复控制系统在微电流范围内可取得很好的去除效果。     

Cd污染土壤的电动修复及其强化

为了提高电动修复镉污染土壤的效率,通过配制镉污染土壤,搭建电动修复实验装置,研究电场强度、电解液种类和添加膨润土对电动修复镉污染土壤中总Cd去除率的影响。结果表明,电动修复时间120 h,电场强度从2.5 V·cm-1增加至3 V·cm-1时,总Cd去除率增加10.62%,电场强度从3 V·cm-1增加到3.5 V·cm-1时,去除率增加1.87%;与柠檬酸为电解液对比,乙酸的总Cd去除率增加12.14%,总耗能增加62.13%,盐酸的总Cd去除率增加18.04%,总耗能增加了187.9%;乙酸为电解液,阴阳两极电解液循环与不循环相比总Cd去除率增加25.48%,能耗增加13.69%;在靠近阴极、中部及靠近阳极土壤中添加膨润土墙,总Cd去除率分别上升20.89%、18.22%、10.67%,能耗分别降低11.00%、13.43%、13.73%。循环电解液能有效减缓电阻极化和浓差极化现象并提高总镉去除率。电动修复联合膨润土吸附,能提高土壤中的总镉去除率,同时降低能耗。     

甘蔗渣修复铬污染土壤的效果

通过室内模拟培养实验,探讨了甘蔗渣修复铬污染土壤的效果、土壤中六价铬初始浓度和甘蔗渣添加量对六价铬还原反应一级动力学的影响、微生物对甘蔗渣修复铬污染土壤效果的影响及甘蔗渣修复铬污染土壤的机理。结果表明,甘蔗渣能有效地降低污染土壤中铬的浸出毒性和去除土壤中的六价铬。当甘蔗渣的添加量为5%,六价铬浓度低于1 740 mg·kg~(-1)时,培养70 d内,土壤样品的浸出液中六价铬未检出,培养90 d内,土壤中六价铬的去除率趋近100%。土壤中六价铬的还原反应速率随六价铬初始浓度的增加而减小,随甘蔗渣添加量的增加而增大。同时,灭菌和未灭菌条件下,甘蔗渣对铬污染土壤的修复效果差异性不显著。甘蔗渣修复铬污染土壤的机理可能是甘蔗渣中的蔗糖和纤维素先降解生成葡萄糖和果糖,接着葡萄糖和果糖将土壤中的六价铬还原成三价铬。     

酒石酸强化重金属复合污染模拟土壤电动修复过程及机理分析

为提高电动修复重金属复合污染土壤的效率,通过配制重金属复合污染模拟土壤,构建电动修复实验装置,利用2因素完全随机实验设计研究了酒石酸浓度和时间对重金属去除效果的影响;采用BCR法对土壤金属赋存形态进行了分析表征。结果表明:与对照相比,以酒石酸为电解液显著提高了重金属的去除率;重金属去除率受酒石酸浓度和修复时间影响显著;以0.05 mol·L~(-1)酒石酸为电解液修复120 h后,重金属去除效果最好,重金属总去除率为86.15%,Cu~(2+)、Mn~(2+)、Cd~(2+)、Pb~(2+)、Zn~(2+)的去除率分别为75.67%、98.11%、85.1%、70.75%和90.9%。BCR分析表明,酒石酸有助于提高土壤中弱酸提取态重金属含量,提高了重金属的迁移性能,从而有利于电动修复过程。     

电动增强技术修复镉污染土壤及其修复机理

选择小分子有机酸——酒石酸、草酸作为增强试剂,研究在不同浓度小分子有机酸作用下,电动修复土壤重金属镉Cd(Ⅱ)的迁移和去除机制。实验中以胡敏素为吸附剂并将其以包裹的形式添加在在电动装置中,以乙酸-乙酸钠为电解液,同时在两极室之间循环电解液以控制土壤p H值变化。结果表明,电动修复技术促进了重金属的去除。小分子有机酸的加入使弱酸提取态的重金属镉Cd(Ⅱ)的去除率大大提高,可达67.07%。不同浓度的小分子有机酸对电动修复的促进效果不同,随着浓度的持续增加,电动修复效果降低。     

交换电极法强化电动修复铬污染土壤

pH值是影响污染土壤电动修复的主要因素。为此提出了交换电极法强化电动修复，并对该技术进行了实验研究。实验土壤Cr污染浓度为506.36 mg/kg，工作电压为1 V/cm，结果显示，固定电极方向运行模式下，运行2 d，产生聚焦效应，运行8 d，碱性区Cr(III)残留量和酸性区Cr(VI)残留量较大，分别是97.88 mg/kg和328 mg/kg，总铬去除率为59.04%。采用交换电极法，交换频率为4 d，运行8 d，总铬去除率为70.18%；交换频率为2 d，运行8 d，总铬去除率高达86.10%，土壤中总铬平均含量从506.36 mg/kg降至73.56 mg/kg，达到酸性土壤环境质量一级标准。该技术可控制土壤pH值在中性范围，电流密度高，不添加化学试剂，操作简单。     

铅污染土壤电动修复增强技术的研究

利用电动修复技术对铅污染土壤的修复进行了实验室研究,研究了修复时间和络合剂EDTA对电动修复效果的影响,分析了土壤重金属的迁移和变化特征。结果表明,在电场力作用下随着修复时间的增长污染物的去除率相应提高,去除率由修复时间5 d时的13%增加到15 d时的20%。以EDTA作为阴极控制液,EDTA可与硝酸铅反应形成溶解态的络合物,提高铅离子的移动性,从而提高修复效果。随着EDTA浓度由0.1 mol/L到0.2 mol/L,Pb的去除率由44.4%提高到61.5%,说明添加络合剂可以提高修复效果。另外,电动修复效果与铅的形态分布有密切关系,交换态和碳酸盐结合态有利于重金属铅的去除。     

几种典型土壤对电动修复镉污染效果的影响

选择5种典型土壤进行了镉污染的电动修复研究。结果表明,经12 d电动修复后,黑土、潮土、红壤、水稻土和黄棕壤中镉的去除率依次为16.7%、21.0%、47.1%、10.7%和12.6%。红壤靠阳极附近Cd含量由初期435 mg·kg-1降至32.4 mg·kg-1,迁移率高达92.5%。黑土、红壤和潮土都维持了较高的电流强度和电渗流量,但由于红壤对碱的缓冲能力较强,修复效果最好。水稻土中电渗流量高,但由于电流低,镉的去除率不高,说明电动修复中电迁移作用强于电渗析。修复后,土壤中可交换态镉、碳酸盐结合态镉、铁锰氧化物结合态镉总量减少,残渣态镉总量增加,有机结合态在阳极附近总量减少、阴极附近总量增加。上述结论揭示了电动修复的土壤镉污染的主要机制,通过镉的运动轨迹和形态分布,可预测不同土壤的电动修复效果,同时能改变不同土壤的电动修复策略,为场地修复提供参考。     

秸秆-复合菌-污泥联合修复铬污染土壤技术

为探索修复Cr(Ⅵ)污染土壤的新方法,以模拟某化工厂铬渣堆存场内Cr(Ⅵ)污染土壤为研究对象,分别研究了秸秆-复合菌-污泥修复铬污染土壤单因素和3因素条件下对铬污染土壤的修复效果。结果表明:单独添加3%的秸秆时,土壤中Cr(Ⅵ)还原率可以达到25.88%;单独添加3%复合菌时,土壤中Cr(Ⅵ)还原率可以达到72.07%;单独添加50%的活性污泥时,土壤中Cr(Ⅵ)还原率可以达85.65%。3个因素中复合菌对土壤中Cr(Ⅵ)还原率的影响最大。综合考虑秸秆、污泥和复合菌3个因素对土壤中Cr(Ⅵ)还原的影响,设计了秸秆、污泥和复合菌的3因素联合实验,最后从修复的经济成本和修复效率考虑,确定最优物料组合为1%秸秆+1%复合菌+30%污泥,对土壤中Cr(Ⅵ)还原率可以达到96.6%。秸秆-复合菌-污泥对铬污染土壤的修复明显高于单独对铬污染土壤修复的效率。该技术在实现对铬污染土壤进行修复的同时,为秸秆和活性污泥的资源化利用开辟了新的途径,实现了"以废制废"。     

Soil remediation time to achieve clean-up goals II: Influence of natural organic matter and water contents

This work reports a relatively rapid procedure for the forecasting of the remediation time (RT) of sandy soils contaminated with cyclohexane using vapour extraction. The RT estimated through the mathematical fitting of experimental results was compared with that of real soils. The main objectives were: (i) to predict the RT of soils with natural organic matter (NOM) and water contents different from those used in experiments; and (ii) to analyse the time and efficiency of remediation, and the distribution of contaminants into the soil matrix after the remediation process, according to the soil contents of: (ii1) NOM; and (ii2) water. For sandy soils with negligible clay contents, artificially contaminated with cyclohexane before vapour extraction, it was concluded that: (i) if the NOM and water contents belonged to the range of the prepared soils, the RT of real soils could be predicted with relative differences not higher than 12%; (ii1) the increase of NOM content from 0% to 7.5% increased the RT (1.8-13 h) and decreased the remediation efficiency (RE) (99-90%) and (ii2) the increase of soil water content from 0% to 6% increased the RT (1.8-4.9 h) and decreased the RE (99-97%). NOM increases the monolayer capacity leading to a higher sorption into the solid phase. Increasing of soil water content reduces the mass transfer coefficient between phases. Concluding, NOM and water contents influence negatively the remediation process, turning it less efficient and more time consuming, and consequently more expensive.     

Soil remediation time to achieve clean-up goals I: Influence of soil water content

The current models are not simple enough to allow a quick estimation of the remediation time. This work reports the development of an easy and relatively rapid procedure for the forecasting of the remediation time using vapour extraction. Sandy soils contaminated with cyclohexane and prepared with different water contents were studied. The remediation times estimated through the mathematical fitting of experimental results were compared with those of real soils. The main objectives were: (i) to predict, through a simple mathematical fitting, the remediation time of soils with water contents different from those used in the experiments; (ii) to analyse the influence of soil water content on the: (ii(1)) remediation time; (ii(2)) remediation efficiency; and (ii(3)) distribution of contaminants in the different phases present into the soil matrix after the remediation process. For sandy soils with negligible contents of clay and natural organic matter, artificially contaminated with cyclohexane before vapour extraction, it was concluded that (i) if the soil water content belonged to the range considered in the experiments with the prepared soils, then the remediation time of real soils of similar characteristics could be successfully predicted, with relative differences not higher than 10%, through a simple mathematical fitting of experimental results; (ii) increasing soil water content from 0% to 6% had the following consequences: (ii(1)) increased remediation time (1.8-4.9h, respectively); (ii(2)) decreased remediation efficiency (99-97%, respectively); and (ii(3)) decreased the amount of contaminant adsorbed onto the soil and in the non-aqueous liquid phase, thus increasing the amount of contaminant in the aqueous and gaseous phases.     

Phytoavailability and geospeciation of cadmium in contaminated soil remediated by Rhodobacter sphaeroides

A microorganism was isolated from oil field injection water and identified as Rhodobacter sphaeroides. It was used for the remediation of simulated cadmium-contaminated soil. The phytoavailability of Cd was investigated through wheat seedling method to determine the efficiency of remediation. It was found that after remediation, the accumulation of Cd in wheat roots and leaves decreased by 67% and 53%, respectively. The Cd speciation in soil was determined with Tessier extraction procedure. It was found that the total Cd content in soil did not change during the experiments, but the geo-speciation of Cd changed remarkably. Among the five fractions, the concentration of exchangeable phases decreased by 27-46% and that of the phases bound to Fe-Mn oxides increased by 22-44%. The decrease of Cd accumulation in wheat showed significant positive correlation with the decrease of exchangeable phases. It could be concluded that the remediation of R. sphaeroides was carried out through the conversion of Cd to more stable forms. The decrease of sulfate concentration in supernatant indicated that the R. sphaeroides consumed sulfate.     

Fractionation and bioavailability of Cu in soil remediated by EDTA leaching and processed by earthworms (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Lumbricus terrestris</Emphasis> L.)

Background, aim, and scope  

Soil remediation with ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) leaching is capable of removing only part of the total metal concentration in the soil, mostly the labile, bioavailable metal species (metal bioavailability stripping). However, reintroduction of remediated soil in the environment exposes the soil to various environmental factors, which could potentially shift nonlabile residual metals back to labile bioavailable forms. We studied the effect of autochthonous earthworm species as model biotic environmental factor on the fractionation and bioavailability of Cu residual in soil after remediation.     

DDT污染土壤的植物修复技术

本文报道用植草方法研究为DDT及其主要降解产物污染土壤的植物修复技术。在污染物的浓度为 0 .2 15mg/kg的土壤中 ,种植 10种草 3个月后DDT及其主要降解产物的总含量分别降低 19.6 %— 73.0 %。种植不同品种的草对土壤中污染物有不同的去除能力 ,其中以种植丹麦产的Taya草 (Per .ryegrass)与美国产的Titan草 (Tallfescue)为最强。用种植草的方法修复受DDT及其主要降解产物污染的土壤是一项可行的技术。在去除土壤中DDT的作用上 ,草的吸收是轻微的 ,只占原施药量的 0 .13%— 1.0 8% ,土壤中污染物消失的主要因素是土壤中生物降解作用的结果。     

Bioaccumulation in Porcellio scaber (Crustacea, Isopoda) as a measure of the EDTA remediation efficiency of metal-polluted soil

Leaching using EDTA applied to a Pb, Zn and Cd polluted soil significantly reduced soil metal concentrations and the pool of metals in labile soil fractions. Metal mobility (Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure), phytoavailability (diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid extraction) and human oral-bioavailability (Physiologically Based Extraction Test) were reduced by 85-92%, 68-91% and 88-95%, respectively. The metal accumulation capacity of the terrestrial isopod Porcellio scaber (Crustacea) was used as in vivo assay of metal bioavailability, before and after soil remediation. After feeding on metal contaminated soil for two weeks, P. scaber accumulated Pb, Zn and Cd in a concentration dependent manner. The amounts of accumulated metals were, however, higher than expected on the basis of extraction (in vitro) tests. The combined results of chemical extractions and the in vivo test with P. scaber provide a more relevant picture of the availability stripping of metals after soil remediation.     

EDTA强化电动力学修复重金属复合污染土壤

在自制的电动力学装置中,研究多种重金属复合污染土壤的电动力学修复,通过在阴极添加络合剂EDTA来提高修复效率。实验结果表明,EDTA的引入提高了修复过程中的电流值,且EDTA与重金属的络合提高了污染物向电极液的迁移效率,从而强化了电动力学修复效果。在设定的浓度(0、0.01、0.02、0.05和0.1 mol/L)中,0.1 mol/L的EDTA具有最佳的修复效率。在此实验条件下,污染土壤中的总铜、总铅和总镉的去除率分别为90.2%、68.1%和95.1%。电动力学修复后,对土壤重金属进行化学形态分析,发现电动力学修复显著改变了土壤重金属存在形态,修复后土壤中的铜、铅、镉主要以较稳定的有机态和残余态形式存在,显著降低了对周边生物和环境的毒害。     

Electrodialytic soil remediation enhanced by low frequency pulse current – Overall chronopotentiometric measurement

The effect of low frequency pulse current on decreasing the polarization and energy consumption during the process of electrodialytic soil remediation was investigated in the present work. The results indicated that the transportation of cations through the cation exchange membrane was the rate controlling step both in constant and pulse current experiments, thus responsible for the major energy consumption. After 180 h, a decrease in both the initial ohmic resistance in each pulse cycle and the resistance caused by concentration polarization of the anion exchange membrane were seen in the pulse current experiment compared to the constant current experiment. At the cation exchange membrane, only the resistance caused by concentration polarization decreased. In the soil compartment, an average of +60 mV overpotential caused by the polarization of the electric double layer of the clay particles was obtained from the Nernstian behavior simulation of the relaxation process, which was significantly lower than the ohmic voltage drop induced by pore fluid resistance. Therefore, the ohmic polarization was the major contributor to the energy consumption in the soil compartment and diminished by pulse current.     

Removal of organic contaminants from soils by an electrokinetic process: the case of atrazine. Experimental and modeling

The atrazine behaviour in soils when submitted to an electric field was studied and the applicability of the electrokinetic process in atrazine soil remediation was evaluated. Two polluted soils were used, respectively with and without atrazine residues, being the last one spiked. Four electrokinetic experiments were carried out at a laboratory scale. Determination of atrazine residues were performed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results show that the electrokinetic process is able to remove efficiently atrazine in soil solution, mainly towards the anode compartment: Estimations show that 30-50% of its initial amount is removed from the soil within the first 24h. A one-dimensional model is developed for simulating the electrokinetic treatment of a saturated soil containing atrazine. The movement of atrazine is modelized taking into account the diffusion transport resulting from atrazine concentration gradients and the reversed electro-osmotic flow at acidic soil pH.
