天冬氨酸和柠檬酸对污泥中重金属萃取的比较研究

以天冬氨酸作为萃取剂,研究了其对上海桃浦污水处理厂污泥中重金属的萃取性能,重点考察了萃取体系pH值对重金属萃取的影响,并在相同条件下与柠檬酸的萃取过程进行比较.结果表明,随着萃取体系pH值的升高,重金属的萃取率逐渐降低.在较低pH值时,天冬氨酸对污泥中Zn、Ni及Cu的最高萃取率均大于85%;在整个实验pH值范围内,天冬氨酸对Ni及Cu的萃取率分别达到50%和40%以上.与柠檬酸对污泥中上述3种重金属的萃取结果相比较,天冬氨酸对Ni、Cu的萃取能力更高,而对Zn的萃取能力在pH≥3.0时不如柠檬酸.

Extraction of Heavy Metals from Sewage Sludge Using Aspartic Acid and Citric Acid

Aspartic acid, as a biodegradable natural amino acid, was used to separate and remove the heavy metals from the sewage sludge based on chemical extraction technology. Under various conditions, the extraction processes were carried out for the sewage sludge from Shanghai Taopu Municipal Wastewater Plant. The comparison of extraction between aspartic acid and citric acid was also discussed for the separation of three heavy metals from sewage sludge. The results showed that pH and the dosage of aspartic acid or citric acid had a significant effect on the extraction efficiency. Zn, Ni and Cu can be apart extracted for more than 85% by aspartic acid at low pH. With the increment of pH value, the extraction ration decreased gradually for both two systems. Within the whole pH range, aspartic acid showed higher extraction efficiency for Ni, Cu than citric acid and the extraction efficiencies of aspartic acid for Ni, Cu were found to respectively be more than 50%, 40%. For the situation of Zn, citric acid had a higher extraction efficiency at pH > or = 3.0.
