Removal of heavy metals from a contaminated soil using tartaric acid

This study reports the feasibility of remediation of a heavy metal （HM） contaminated soil using tartaric acid, an environmentally-friendly extractant. Batch experiments were performed to test the factors influencing remediation of the HM contaminated soil. An empirical model was employed to describe the kinetics of riM dissolution/desorption and to predict equilibrium concentrations of HMs in soil leachate. The changes of HMs in different fractions before and after tartaric acid treatment were also investigated. Tartaric acid solution containing HMs was regenerated by chestnut shells. Results show that utilization of tartaric acid was effective for removal of riMs from the contaminated soil, attaining 50%-60% of Cd, 40%-50% of Pb, 40%-50% of Cu and 20%-30% of Zn in the pH range of 3.5-4.0 within 24 h. Mass transfer coefficients for cadmium （Cd） and lead （Pb） were much higher than those for copper （Cu） and zinc （Zn）. Sequential fractionations of treated and untreated soil samples showed that tartaric acid was effective in removing the exchangeable, carbonate fractions of Cd, Zn and Cu from the contaminated soil. The contents of Pb and Cu in Fe-Mn oxide fraciton were also significantly decreased by tartaric acid treatment. One hundred milliliters of tartaric acid solution containing HMs could be regenerated by 10 g chestnut shells in a batch reactor. Such a remediation procedure indicated that tartaric acid is a promising agent for remediation of HM contaminated soils. However, further research is needed before the method can be practically used for in situ remediation of contaminated sites.

Effects of sepiolite on stabilization remediation of heavy metal-contaminated soil and its ecological evaluation

Stabilization in the remediation of heavy metal contaminated soils has been gaining prominence because of its cost-effectiveness and rapid implementation. In this study, microbial properties such as microbial community and enzyme activities, chemical properties such as soil pH and metal fraction, and heavy metal accumulation in spinach (Spinacia oleracea) were considered in assessing stabilization remediation effectiveness using sepiolite. Results showed that soil pH values increased with rising sepiolite concentration. Sequential extraction results indicated that the addition of sepiolite converted significant amounts of exchangeable fraction of Cd and Pb into residual form. Treatments of sepiolite were observed to reduce Cd and Pb translocation from the soil to the roots and shoots of spinach. Concentrations of Cd and Pb exhibited 12.6%–51.0% and 11.5%–46.0% reduction for the roots, respectively, and 0.9%–46.2% and 43.0%–65.8% reduction for the shoots, respectively, compared with the control group. Increase in fungi and actinomycete counts, as well as in catalase activities, indicated that soil metabolic recovery occurred after sepiolite treatments.     

零价铁修复1,3-二氯苯污染底泥

通过序批试验研究了零价铁修复对底泥中1,3-二氯苯的去除效果,分析了零价铁修复过程中pH和铁离子质量浓度以及修复后底泥土壤酶的恢复情况. 结果表明:添加占底泥干质量2%的还原铁粉,1,3-二氯苯的去除率可达72.3%〔初始w(1,3-二氯苯)为500 　mg/kg,培养时间为20 d〕,较未添加零价铁修复处理高52.0%. 零价铁有效地促进了底泥中1,3-二氯苯的去除,土著微生物在自然恢复中起一定的作用. 在修复过程中零价铁并未使底泥pH发生明显变化,底泥水体中的总铁质量浓度(低于0.3 mg/L)始终符合地表水环境质量标准(GB3838—2002). 1,3-二氯苯污染使底泥过氧化氢酶、转化酶和蛋白酶的酶活性显著降低,使脲酶的酶活性显著升高. 零价铁修复使1,3-二氯苯抑制的底泥过氧化氢酶的酶活性恢复到未污染对照水平.      

SIMULATED ANNEALING WITH MEMORY AND DIRECTIONAL SEARCH FOR GROUND WATER REMEDIATION DESIGN1

ABSTRACT: Review of recent literature indicates an emergence in the use of combinatorial methods such as simulated annealing in ground water management during the past nine to ten years. While previous studies demonstrated the feasibility of using these methods, a general finding was that computational processing requirements were inordinately high relative to gradient‐based methods. An enhanced annealing algorithm was developed and used to demonstrate the potential for greatly improving the computational efficiency of simulated annealing as an optimization method for ground water management applications. The algorithm incorporates “directional search” and “memory” capabilities. Selecting search directions based on better understanding of the current neighborhood of the configuration space was shown to improve algorithm performance. Also, “memory” concepts derived from the Tabu Search Method show particular promise for improving the rate and quality of convergence. Performance of the enhanced annealing method was evaluated and the resultant management method was demonstrated using an example from the literature.

某电镀厂六价铬污染土壤还原稳定化试剂筛选与过程监测

针对目前国内进行六价铬污染土壤修复过程关键性控制参数相对缺乏,且中长期稳定性效果相对较差等问题.选取北方某电镀厂六价铬污染严重的表层土壤,使用5组还原试剂进行还原稳定化试验,同时通过在线ORP(氧化还原电位)测试仪在线监测和定期取样测试,探索不同还原剂的反应效率和最终效果.其中试剂4对六价铬的还原稳定化率最高,基本上均在99.5%以上,六价铬浓度最低可达到2.4 mg·kg~(-1);从反应速率来看试剂1和4反应速率最快.反应过程的ORP、pH值监测数据也出现较大的区别,其中第1组土壤样品整个过程中ORP始终处于-400 m V左右;第4组反应在30 h以后,由-200m V逐步升高并稳定在100 m V左右.从反应体系中的pH值变化情况来看,唯一使土壤pH保持在7左右的是试剂4.综合判断试剂4(多硫化钙和亚铁盐复配试剂)的综合还原效果最佳.以试剂4为基础进行单独放大试验,通过ORP和电导率两个关键参数的变化情况发现还原反应过程大概需要160 h,从而为后期实际土壤修复过程中控制还原土壤的养护条件和过程监控提供理论支撑.
