ABSTRACT

Mining and smelting are the main sources of soil heavy metal pollution. Leaching and release of heavy metals in soils has been extensively studied. However, there are few researches on the release behavior of heavy metals from the Angle of mineralogy of smelting slag. This study focuses on the pollution of arsenic and chromium by traditional pyrometallurgical lead-zinc smelting slag in southwest China. Based on the mineralogy of smelting slag, the release behavior of heavy metals in smelting slag was studied. As and Cr deposit minerals were identified by MLA analysis, and the weathering degree and bioavailability of As and Cr deposit minerals were analyzed. The results showed that the weathering degree of slag was positively correlated with the bioavailability of heavy metals. The leaching experiment results showed that the higher pH was beneficial to the release of As and Cr. It was found that the chemical forms of As and Cr changed from relatively stable forms to easily released forms (As5+ to As3+ and Cr3+ to Cr6+) by characterizing the metallurgical slag during leaching. In the transformation process, the S in the pyrite as the enclosing layer is eventually oxidized to SO42-, which will accelerate the dissolution of the enclosing mineral. SO42- will occupy the adsorption site of As on the mineral surface, thus reducing the adsorption amount of As on the mineral surface. Fe is finally oxidized to Fe2O3, and the increase of Fe2O3 content in the waste residue will produce strong adsorption effect on Cr6+ and slow down the release of Cr6+. The results show that the release of As and Cr is controlled by the pyrite coating.

ABSTRACT

Among the many heavy metal pollution treatment agents, carbonate materials show strong flexibility and versatility by virtue of their high adsorption capacity for heavy metals and the characteristics of multiple and simple modification methods. It shows good potential for development. This review summarizes the application of carbonate materials in the treatment of heavy metal pollution according to the research of other scholars. It mainly relates to the application of surface-modified, activated, and nano-sized carbonate materials in the treatment of heavy metal pollution in water. Natural carbonate minerals and composite carbonate minerals solidify and stabilize heavy metals in soil. Solidification of heavy metals in hazardous waste solids is by MICP. There are four aspects of calcium carbonate oligomers curing heavy metals in fly ash from waste incineration. The mechanism of treating heavy metals by carbonate in different media was discussed. However, in the complex environment where multiple types of pollutants coexist, questions on how to maintain the efficient processing capacity of carbonate materials and how to use MICP to integrate heavy metal fixation and seepage prevention in solid waste base under complex and changeable natural environment deserve our further consideration. In addition, the use of carbonate materials for the purification of trace radioactive wastewater and the safe treatment of trace radioactive solid waste are also worthy of further exploration.

ABSTRACT

The accumulation of heavy metals in soil and crops is considered to be a severe environmental problem due to its various harmful effects on animals and plants. Soil adsorption is an essential characteristic of mud, which is the fundamental reason for soil to have a specific self-purification capacity and environmental capacity for heavy metals. The adsorption of heavy metals by soil reduces the uptake of these pollutants by crops, thereby limiting food contamination. Therefore, the adsorption of heavy metals in crop soils was taken as the primary research object. Based on the entire reading of the literature, the previous research results were compared and discussed from the four aspects of heterogeneity, physical and chemical properties, competitive adsorption, and external factors. The influencing mechanism of heavy metal adsorption characteristics in soil was reviewed. Finally, suggestions and prospects for future research on heavy metal adsorption were put forward.
