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。     

不同活化剂对镉、铅单一及复合污染土壤的修复效果影响

选取柠檬酸(CA)、木醋液(WV)、聚天冬氨酸(PASP)、羟基乙叉二磷酸(HEDP)和FeCl_3作为活化剂,以镉、铅单一和复合污染土壤为研究对象,采用振荡淋洗法结合形态分析技术研究活化剂对重金属污染土壤的修复效果。结果表明:(1)重金属单一污染时,5种活化剂对镉、铅均有一定的淋出效果,淋出效率均随活化剂浓度的增大而增大。活化剂通过淋洗实验主要淋出酸溶态和可还原态重金属。(2)重金属复合污染时,金属离子间的竞争作用会不同程度地影响重金属在土壤中的存在形态,进而影响重金属的淋出效率,多数情况下,铅的存在会促进镉的淋出,但镉的存在会抑制土壤铅的释放。

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。     

氨水循环增强电动力学技术去除土壤中的氟

为了探讨氨水增强电动力学技术修复氟污染土壤的效果及对土壤p H值的影响,在自制的电动力学装置中,1V/cm电解电压下,以氨水作电解液,采用连续循环的方式进行研究。结果显示,氨水连续循环不仅增大了修复过程中的电流值,且使通过土壤的电流更加稳定,在提高土壤氟迁移效率的同时降低了能耗。在设定的浓度中(0、0.01、0.1和0.2mol/L),土壤氟的去除率随着氨水浓度的升高而增加,0.2 mol/L氨水具有最大电流值26.8 m A,土壤氟的去除率也达到57.9%,氨水循环增强时两极土壤p H值差异减小。采用氨水循环增强电动力学技术,可有效修复氟污染土壤,土壤中剩余氨还可以提高土壤肥力。     

超声强化淋洗修复Pb、Cd、Cu复合污染土壤

针对传统淋洗法修复土壤中重金属效率较低的问题,研究了超声强化淋洗技术以提高重金属去除率。以铅(Pb)、镉(Cd)、铜(Cu)为目标污染物,在0.05 mol·L~(-1)柠檬酸、0.05 mol·L~(-1)EDTA和0.05 mol·L~(-1)皂角苷作为淋洗剂条件下,使用传统振荡、超声强化以及超声波加振荡3种不同的作用方式,对Pb、Cd、Cu的去除率进行比较,并对3种不同淋洗方式后Pb、Cd、Cu的形态变化进行了探讨。结果表明,当使用柠檬酸和皂角苷作为淋洗剂进行振荡淋洗时,重金属洗脱效果不理想。超声对于强化柠檬酸洗脱效果并不明显,而对于强化皂角苷洗脱重金属效果明显,平均去除率提高了120.47%。当淋洗剂为EDTA时,土壤样品在传统振荡2 h作用下,对Pb、Cd、Cu的去除率依次为50.33%、76.65%和47.35%,而在超声波30 min条件下对Pb、Cd、Cu的去除率依次为82.19%、83.31%和53.89%,平均去除率高出28.60%,可显著提高重金属去除率,缩短淋洗时间。但超声波30 min加传统振荡2 h相较于单纯超声强化效果提升不明显。通过对比3种淋洗方式后土壤中的Pb、Cd、Cu形态发现,酸可提取态的重金属在超声强化作用后有明显降低,同时超声强化对于铁锰氧化物结合态、有机物结合态和残渣态也具有较好的去除能力。因此,超声强化在化学淋洗中的应用具有一定的可行性,是一种简单、极快速去除污染场地中重金属Pb、Cd、Cu的增效手段。     

汞污染土壤的电动力学修复试验研究

利用电动力学修复汞污染土壤,并考察电动力学修复对土壤部分理化指标的影响。结果表明,常规的电动力学修复方法不能有效去除土壤中的汞污染物,需要一些强化措施,在阴极电解液中引入KI,KI的引入提高了修复过程中的电流,且KI会与汞化合物生成HgI2-4,提高了汞的迁移效率,从而改善了电动力学修复效果。同时,添加0.50mol/L的KI溶液的试验组具有最佳的修复效果,在此试验条件下,污染土壤中的汞总去除率为81.7%。电动力学修复后,土壤pH有明显改变,阳极区土壤酸化,阴极区土壤碱化;土壤有效氮在阳极区出现明显增加,在阴极区降低,而土壤有机质则没有明显变化。     

铅锌厂重金属污染土壤的螯合剂淋洗修复及其应用

为探讨螯合剂淋洗法在修复铅锌厂周边重金属污染土壤的修复效果及淋洗后土壤利用价值,研究采用振荡淋洗的方法比较了乙二胺四乙酸(EDTA)、次氮基三乙酸三钠盐(NTA)、[S,S]-乙二胺-N,N-二琥珀酸三钠盐(EDDS)乙二醇-双-(2-氨基乙醚)四乙酸(EGTA)4种螯合剂对不同污染程度土壤中Cd、Cu、Zn、Pb的去除效果,并用BCR连续提取法分析了淋洗前后土壤重金属形态的变化,最后通过黑麦草盆栽实验及土壤酶分析,探讨了土壤经淋洗后的利用价值。结果表明,4种螯合剂中EDTA对Cd、Cu、Zn和Pb的去除率比其他螯合剂的去除率高,其中对高污染土壤4种重金属离子的去除率最大,分别为Cd 90.98%、Cu 42.10%、Zn 56.98%和Pb 52.03%,4种重金属中Cd的去除效果分别为EDTANTAEDDSEGTA;EDTA能有效去除酸溶态、可还原态土壤重金属,而对可氧化态和残余态土壤重金属作用效果不明显;EDTA淋洗土种植黑麦草后土壤脱氢酶、碱性磷酸酶和β-葡糖苷酶活性均高于NTA淋洗后土壤中酶活性。综合考虑淋洗效率、淋洗剂的成本和利用价值等因素,可以认为,采用EDTA和NTA淋洗修复重金属污染土壤具有一定的实用性,并以EDTA效果较佳。     

重金属污染土壤的草酸和EDTA混合淋洗研究

采用不同浓度的草酸(oxalic acid,OX)和乙二胺四乙酸(EDTA)混合的淋洗方法研究重金属污染土壤的最佳混合淋洗方式,探讨了液固比、淋洗时间及pH对淋洗效果的影响,并分析了0.2 mol/L OX+0.2 mol/L EDTA处理前后土壤中重金属形态的变化。结果表明,采用0.2 mol/L OX+0.2 mol/L EDTA混合的淋洗法可同时去除多种重金属,且对Cu、Zn、Ni和Cr的去除率明显高于单用OX和EDTA,去除率分别为Cu 41.29%、Zn 84.73%、Ni 54.2%和Cr 66.01%。0.2mol/L OX+0.2 mol/L EDTA在液固比为5∶1、淋洗时间为4 h、pH为6时可分别达到最佳淋洗效果,且分别为Cu 62.59%、Zn 93.48%、Ni 55.95%和Cr 71.57%;Cu 50.47%、Zn 86.67%、Ni 61.53%和Cr 72.68%;Cu 44.40%、Zn 81.82%、Ni68.76%和Cr 74.93%。形态分析结果表明,0.2 mol/L OX+0.2 mol/L EDTA能较好地改变土壤中重金属形态的分布。     

EDTA在铅污染土壤治理中的优化处理方法

为了探究EDTA在土壤重金属污染治理中的优化处理方法,采用湿筛和水中重力沉降的方法,从人工Pb污染土壤(原土)中分离提取砂土、粉土和粘土,分析讨论了EDTA对土壤中Pb的去除效果,并从EDTA清洗前后土壤中Pb的BCR形态分布出发,分析了EDTA对不同粒径土壤中各形态Pb的去除效果。研究发现,实验用土壤中砂土、粉土和粘土含量分别为11.2%、75.6%和13.2%,EDTA浓度越高,土壤中Pb去除效果越好,且砂土中Pb最易被去除(~100%),粉土与原土其次(88.66%~96.50%),粘土最难被去除(64.78%~79.60%),但随着EDTA浓度增加,粒径对去除Pb的影响减弱。在土壤修复实践中,可通过利用不同浓度EDTA处理不同粒径土壤的方法达到优化效果。BCR形态分布说明外源性Pb进入土壤后主要以弱酸提取态和可还原态存在,EDTA清洗主要去除弱酸提取态和可还原态,粘土中的各形态去除率均最小。     

EDTA对土壤中Pb的赋存形态分布的影响及其环境意义

研究了 EDTA淋洗重金属污染土壤前后 Pb的赋存形态的分布变化。结果表明 ,EDTA淋洗后的土壤中 Pb主要以残渣态和酸可提取态存在。酸可提取态 Pb含量的增加对于运用植物提取技术修复 Pb污染的土壤是有利的     

可渗透反应复合电极法对土壤重金属的电动去除

将零价铁(Fe0)、沸石等活性材料附着在电极上形成可渗透反应层并构成可渗透反应复合电极,采用不同的复合电极对Cd2+、Ni 2+、Pb2+和Cu2+等4种阳离子型重金属污染土壤进行了电动力学修复。研究了不同可渗透反应复合电极对土壤pH的控制效果以及对重金属的去除作用,分析了迁移到复合电极中的重金属形态变化。结果表明,复合电极中添加酸、碱性沸石并适时更换,可有效中和、截留阴阳极电解产生的OH-和H+,避免或减缓土壤酸碱迁移带的形成,防止重金属离子的过早沉淀及土壤过度酸化,极大提高了重金属的去除率。复合电极中Fe0可将迁移进来的重金属离子进行还原稳定,实现重金属污染物的捕获与固定,与迁移到沸石复合电极中的4种重金属不稳定态相比,"Fe0+沸石"复合电极中重金属不稳定态分别下降了61.4、60.5、61.4、57.1百分点。结果还显示,阴极采用"Fe0+沸石"复合电极并适时进行更换,施加1.5V/cm的直流电压修复10d后,土壤中Cd、Ni、Pb、Cu的总去除率分别为44.5%、41.5%、33.5%和36.7%,且进一步延长修复时间和持续更换电极可获得更为理想的修复效果。     

Leaching of heavy metals from contaminated soils using EDTA

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) extraction of Zn, Cd, Cu and Pb from four contaminated soils was studied using batch and column leaching experiments. In the batch experiment, the heavy metals extracted were virtually all as 1:1 metal-EDTA complexes. The ratios of Zn, Cd, Cu and Pb of the extracted were similar to those in the soils, suggesting that EDTA extracted the four heavy metals with similar efficiency. In contrast, different elution patterns were obtained for Zn, Cd, Cu and Pb in the column leaching experiment using 0.01 M EDTA. Cu was either the most mobile or among the most mobile of the four heavy metals, and its peak concentration corresponded with the arrival of full strength EDTA in the leachate. The mobility of Zn and Cd was usually slightly lower than that of Cu. Pb was the least mobile, and its elution increased after the peaks of Cu and Zn. Sequential fractionations of leached and un-leached soils showed that heavy metals in various operationally defined fractions contributed to the removal by EDTA. Considerable mobilisation of Fe occurred in two of the four soils during EDTA leaching. Decreases in the Fe and Mn oxide fraction of heavy metals after EDTA leaching occurred in both soils, as well as in a third soil that showed little Fe mobilisation. The results suggest that the lability of metals in soil, the kinetics of metal desorption/dissolution and the mode of EDTA addition were the main factors controlling the behaviour of metal leaching with EDTA.     

The two-phase leaching of Pb, Zn and Cd contaminated soil using EDTA and electrochemical treatment of the washing solution

The feasibility of a novel two-phase method for remediation of Pb (1374 mg kg(-1)), Zn (1007 mg kg(-1)), and Cd (9.1 mg kg(-1)) contaminated soil was evaluated. In the first phase we used EDTA for leaching heavy metals from the soil. In the second phase we used an electrochemical advanced oxidation process (EAOP) for the treatment and reuse of washing solution for soil rinsing (removal of the soil-retained, chelant-mobilized metallic species). In EAOP, a boron-doped diamond anode was used for the generation of hydroxyl radicals and oxidative decomposition of EDTA-metal complexes at a constant current density (15 mA cm(-2)). The released metals were removed from the solution by filtration as insoluble participate and by electro-deposition on the cathode. Four consecutive additions of 5.0 mm ol kg(-1) EDTA (total 20 mmol kg(-1)) removed 44% Pb, 14% Zn and 35% Cd from the soil. The mobility of the Pb, Zn and Cd (Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure) left in the soil after remediation was reduced by 1.6, 3.4 and 1.5 times, respectively. The Pb oral availability (Physiologically Based Extraction Test) in the simulated stomach phase was reduced by 2.4 and in the intestinal phase by 1.7 times. The discharge solution was clear, almost colorless, with pH 7.73 and 0.47 mg L(-1) Pb, 1.03 mg L(-1) Zn, bellow the limits of quantification of Cd and 0.023 mM EDTA. The novel method enables soil leaching with small water requirements and no wastewater generation or other emissions into the environment.     

Effects of remediation train sequence on decontamination of heavy metal-contaminated soil containing mercury

When a contaminated site contains pollutants including both nonvolatile metals and Hg, one single remediation technology may not satisfactorily remove all contaminants. Therefore, in this study, chemical extraction and thermal treatment were combined as a remediation train to remove heavy metals, including Hg, from contaminated soil. A 0.2 M solution of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) was shown to be the most effective reagent for extraction of considerable amounts of Cu, Pb, and Zn (>50%). Hg removal was ineffective using 0.2 M EDTA, but thermogravimetric analysis suggested that heating to 550°C with a heating rate of 5°C/min for a duration of 1 hr appeared to be an effective approach for Hg removal. With the employment of thermal treatment, up to 99% of Hg could be removed. However, executing thermal treatment prior to chemical extraction reduced the effectiveness of the subsequent EDTA extraction because nonvolatile heavy metals were immobilized in soil aggregates after the 550°C treatment. The remediation train of chemical extraction followed by thermal treatment appears to remediate soils that have been contaminated by many nonvolatile heavy metals and Hg.

ImplicationsA remediation train conjoining two or more techniques has been initialized to remove multiple metals. Better understandings of the impacts of treatment sequences, namely, which technique should be employed first on the soil properties and the decontamination efficiency, are in high demand. This study provides a strategy to remove multiple heavy metals including Hg from a contaminated soil. The interactions between thermal treatment and chemical extraction on repartitioning of heavy metals was revealed. The obtained results could offer an integrating strategy to remediate the soil contaminated with both heavy metals and volatile contaminants.     

Recycling EDTA solutions used to remediate metal-polluted soils

The objective of this research was to investigate the recycling of ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid (EDTA) used for the removal of trace metals from contaminated soils. We successfully used Na2S combined with Ca(OH)2 to precipitate the trace metals allowing us to recycle the EDTA. The results of batch and column leaching experiments show that both Ca-EDTA and Na-EDTA are powerful chelating agents with a similar soil remediation potential. The major advantage of Ca-EDTA is the preservation of soil organic matter. We found that Na2S was capable of separating the metals Cd, Cu and Pb from EDTA; however, the precipitation of Zn required the addition of Ca(OH)2. After reusing the reclaimed EDTA seven times, over a 14-day period, EDTA reagent losses ranged from 19.5% to 23.5%. Successive washing cycles enhanced the removal of trace metals from contaminated soils. The metal sulfide precipitates contain high concentrations of metals and could potentially be recycled.     

Simultaneous mobilization of heavy metals and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) compounds from soil with cyclodextrin and EDTA in admixture

This study evaluated the efficacy of a washing process with cyclodextrin in combination with ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) for the simultaneous mobilization of heavy metals and PCBs from a field contaminated soil. Ultrasonically aided mixing of the field contaminated soil with a combination of cyclodextrin solution (10%, w/v) and a sparing quantity (2 mmol) of EDTA, simultaneously mobilized appreciable quantities of PCBs and much of the analyte metal (Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn) burdens. Relative to the action of individual reagents, a combination of randomly methylated (RAMEB) or hydroxypropyl beta-cyclodextrin (HPCD) with EDTA did not alter the PCB extraction efficiency nor did the presence of cyclodextrin change the efficiency of mobilization of most heavy metals (Al, Cd, Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni, and Zn) but did increase the recovery of Cu and Pb modestly. Three sonication-washes with the same charge of reagents mobilized appreciable quantities of PCBs (40-76%) and quantitatively extracted the labile fraction of Cd, Cu, Mn, and Pb. RAMEB proved to be more efficient than HPCD for PCB extractions. Three successive extractions with a single charge of cyclodextrin mobilized almost as much PCB (RAMEB, 76%; HPCD, 40%) as did the companion extractions that used fresh reagents each time (RAMEB, 78%; HPCD, 42%). Collectively, these studies demonstrated that PCB compounds and selected heavy metals can be co-extracted efficiently from soil with three successive washes with the same washing suspension containing EDTA and cyclodextrin.     

动电修复不同形态重金属污染土壤效果研究

以钢铁厂附近废地的重金属土壤为对象,研究了动电修复技术去除重金属效果与其各化学形态的关系,讨论了电能消耗。结果表明,同一种重金属,其动电去除效率顺序为交换态碳酸盐结合态Fe-Mn氧化结合态有机结合态残留态,即吸附性越弱的形态,其去除率越高,如交换态去除率95%;吸附性越强的形态,其去除率越低,如有机态和残留态去除率低于29%;对于不同重金属,高移动性和弱吸附性的重金属较弱移动性和强吸附性的重金属去除效果好,即各形态的Cd、Cu和Zn的去除率明显高于相应形态Pb的去除率;能耗分析表明,实验时间超过96 h后,在电能有较大消耗的同时,重金属去除率却提高不明显。     

Enhanced electrokinetic remediation of lead-contaminated soil by complexing agents and approaching anodes

Optimizing process parameters that affect the remediation time and power consumption can improve the treatment efficiency of the electrokinetic remediation as well as determine the cost of a remediation action. Lab-scale electrokinetic remediation of Pb-contaminated soils was investigated for the effect of complexant ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and acetic acid and approaching anode on the removal efficiency of Pb. When EDTA was added to the catholyte, EDTA dissolved insoluble Pb in soils to form soluble Pb–EDTA complexes, increasing Pb mobility and accordingly removal efficiency. The removal efficiency was enhanced from 47.8 to 61.5 % when the EDTA concentration was increased from 0.1 to 0.2 M, showing that EDTA played an important role in remediation. And the migration rate of Pb was increased to 72.3 % when both EDTA and acetic acid were used in the catholyte. The “approaching anode electrokinetic remediation” process in the presence of both EDTA and acetic acid had a higher Pb-removal efficiency with an average efficiency of 83.8 %. The efficiency of electrokinetic remediation was closely related to Pb speciation. Exchangeable and carbonate-bounded Pb were likely the forms which could be removed. All results indicate that the approaching anode method in the presence of EDTA and acetic acid is an advisable choice for electrokinetic remediation of Pb-contaminated soil.
