Optimization of hydraulic gradient for the remediation of chromium contaminated soil by column leaching

Leaching is one of the most commonly used technologies for the remediation of heavy metal contaminated soil. Most of the previous research focused on the selection of eluent, while few studies took hydraulic retention time (HRT) into consideration. Hydraulic gradient is an important factor affecting HRT. Optimization of hydraulic gradient can shorten the repair cycle, reduce the cost of leaching, and effectively improve the leaching efficiency, which provides valuable insight into field leaching remediation application. In this paper, chromium contaminated soils with different properties were artificially prepared to conduct column leaching experiments. The pH and seepage velocity of leaching solution, and the change of Cr (VI) and total Cr content before and after leaching were studied under different hydraulic gradient conditions. Furthermore, the hydraulic gradient was optimized according to the removal of Cr (VI) and total Cr. The results showed that the optimal concentration of citric acid was 0.15 mol·L^-1. The optimal hydraulic gradient of leaching chromium contaminated loam, sandy loam, and sandy soil were 7.2, 3.6 and 1.2, respectively. Under optimal conditions, the total Cr removal rates were 82.86%, 77.27% and 82.15% in loam, sandy loam, and sandy soil, respectively.
