Metals removal from aqueous solution by iron-based bonding agents

GOAL AND SCOPE AND BACKGROUND: The application of a promising method, termed sorptive flotation, for the removal of chromium(VI) and zinc ions was the aim of the present paper. A special case of sorptive flotation is adsorbing colloid flotation. Suitable sorbent preparation techniques have been developed in the laboratory. METHODS: Sorptive flotation, consisting of the sorption and flotation processes combined in series, has proved to give fast and satisfactory treatment of the industrial streams and effluents bearing dilute aqueous solutions of zinc and chromium(VI). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Goethite has proved to be effective for the removal of chromium(VI) and zinc ions. Also, adsorbing colloid flotation with ferric hydroxide (as the co-precipitant) could be an alternative method to the above-mentioned separation of metal ions. In both cases, chromium(VI) (pH=4) and zinc (pH=7) removal was about 100%. CONCLUSION: The reasons for selecting the iron-based bonding materials, like goethite and/or in-situ produced ferric hydroxide, are that they are cheap, easily synthesized, suitable both for cation and anion sorption, and, furthermore, that they present low risks for adding a further pollutant to the system. Promising results were obtained. RECOMMENDATION AND OUTLOOK: The application of goethite and in-situ produced ferric hydroxide has demonstrated their effectiveness in the removal of heavy metal ions, such as chromium anions and zinc cations. A proposed continuation of current work is the utilization of similar iron oxides, for instance synthesized akaganeite. The comparison between the results reported in this paper with the results reported in the literature, also deserves attention.

Amelioration of Streamwater Acidity by Catchment Liming-Response of Podzolic Soils to Pasture Improvement

The effects of agricultural improvement by cultivation, re-seeding, lime and fertiliser additions on the soil solution chemistry of acid podzolic soils have been investigated in a field experiment in a mid-Wales catchment. the treatment resulted in an increase in the pH, alkalinity and calcium content of soil waters from the surface, organic-rich horizon. in the year following treatment, soil waters in the mineral horizons became more acid and had higher aluminium concentrations than observed at the control site. This response is ascribed to soil water acidification resulting from increased nitrification rates following liming and cultivation. in subsequent years, soil water acidity in these lower horizons was neutralised by lime-rich water percolating from the surface. No changes in stream water acidity and calcium content were observed in the catchment containing the area of agriculturally improved soils. This suggests that the selective treatment of moorland catchments to improve agricultural productivity may not always be accompanied by amelioration of acid stream water.     

铬渣中Cr(Ⅵ)制取铬黄颜料的资源化技术研究

用蒸馏水在直径52 mm和80 mm的有机玻管中淋浸风化铬渣,在渣水比为250 g/200mL、500 g/400 mL和750 g/600 mL的3种方案中,750 g/600 mL的效果最佳.在2种不同管径装置中,可分别得到Cr(Ⅵ)总溶出率为94.0%、98.7%的良好淋浸效果.将含Cr(Ⅵ)的淋滤液替代商品重铬酸钠成功地制备出柠檬铬黄、中铬黄、浅铬黄,PbCrO4含量指标符合国标要求.相对于铅盐、Na2CrO4的理论反应用量,Cr(Ⅵ)浓度为26.21 g/L时,不仅可获取理想的铬黄生成量,而且可使沉淀分离液中检不出Cr(Ⅵ)残留量,但高于此浓度则会出现Cr(Ⅵ)残留.理论值1.15倍的铅盐用量可使Cr(Ⅵ)沉淀完全,铬黄达最高产率.廉价矿物材料改性磷灰石等可用于外排废液中Pb2+的吸附去除,以控制二次污染.利用铬渣中Cr(Ⅵ)溶出液直接制取铬黄颜料,可为铬渣资源化处理开辟一条新途径并获得明显的经济效益.     

Old distribution procedure of both water and matter fluxes in floodplains of western Europe: Impact on present vegetation

In France and the United States it has been shown that strong linkages exist between vegetation and alluvial landforms within homogeneous river stretches characterized by geomorphological processes, flood duration, flood magnitude, flood frequency, and sediment size. Furthermore, perturbations induced by man (such as embankments and damming) have been shown to have an effect on both succession and plant distribution patterns. Yet, in numerous cases it is not possible to find either the communities or the plants whose presence might be predicted by reference to the river section characteristics (such as straight, braided, anastomosed, or meandering channels) or by reference to perturbation effects well known in piedmont valleys (such as variations of the water-table depth, variations of magnitude, and frequency and duration of floods). Unexpected species, new communities, and even new successional sequences are often observed. The presence of new alluvial forms explains these differences. An “artificial” substratum generated by an old human perturbation (limited in the time) has been established in the past; consequently, the natural distribution patterns of water and matter flows have been disturbed. Archive research has enabled a classification of abandoned systems that were commonly used during the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries on European floodplains. Several case studies were chosen in order to illustrate and explain the importance of stream corridor history. The example of the Isère River valley, downstream from Albertville, is chosen to highlight the heterogeneity of the vegetation mosaïc pattern outside the dikes. The historical reconstruction explains the role of the additional disturbances that cause deviation from the system evolution patterns.     

Flood problems in Bangladesh: Is there an indigenous solution?

Bangladesh, situated on the delta of the Ganges, the Brahmaputra, and the Meghna rivers, experiences two distinct types of inundations: (a) river floods resulting from excessive runoff contributed by monsoon precipitation and (b) coastal floods induced by storm surges of tropical cyclones. The river floods are normal annual events and human settlements and agricultural practices have adapted admirably well to their regimes. Abnormal floods that occur once in every few years cause serious damage to crops and properties. To minimize flood losses, a number of modern engineering projects have been constructed within Bangladesh. However, the successful solution of the problem would probably require some international collaboration for basinwide unified systems planning, since large parts of the drainage basins of Bangladesh lie beyond its borders. In the absence of such collaboration, internal resources should be utilized for the construction of smaller public projects, such aspolders, and for encouraging and reinforcing various types of indigenous adjustments to floods. There are very few successful indigenous adjustments to coastal floods. Most of the structural solutions, such as community shelters and higher embankments, are expensive public projects that are probably beyond the means of the internal resources of the country.     

Determining the influence of the physicochemical parameters of urban soils on As availability using chemometric methods: A preliminary study

An initial exploration was conducted using mathematical and statistical methods to obtain relevant information about the determination of the physicochemical parameters capable of controlling As uptake by ryegrass grown on contaminated topsoils.Concentrations of As in the soils were from 10 to 47 mg/kg,mainly in the As(V) form(57%–73%).Concentrations of As in water extracts were very low(61–700 μg/kg).It was suggested that As(Ⅲ) was mainly in the uncharged species and As(V) in the charged species.Chemometric methods revealed that the values of the ratio As(Ⅲ)/As(V) depended on the assimilated-phosphorus,the pseudo-total and water-extractable Fe contents and the soil p H.Arsenic concentrations measured in ryegrass shoots ranged from 119 to 1602 μg/kg.Positive linear correlations were obtained between As in ryegrass shoots and water extractable-As.The transfer coefficient of As correlated well with the ratio assimilated-phosphorus/Fe-oxides.As(Ⅲ)uptake by the shoot of ryegrass was controlled by the organic matter and Fe-oxide contents.
