摘要: |
Four tests were conducted to investigate potential uses of electric fields for remediation of high buffering capacity soils contaminated with high lead concentrations (11% by dry weight). The soil samples were collected from a site in Louisiana where tetraethyl lead was used extensively for increasing the octane rating of leaded gasoline. Calcium was present at relatively high concentrations (9% by dry weight). Initial soil pH was basic (about 8.5). Two enhancement procedures were used: acetic acid for neutralizing the cathode and membranes to prevent migration of hydroxyl ions from the cathode. Current densities applied were in the order of 5 A/sq m to 10 A/sq m. Tests were processed for up to 3,220 hours. Lead extraction rates were significantly affected by high calcium concentration. Energy expenditure was very high (up to 20,667 kWh/cu m in the unenhanced test). The study showed that the soil buffering capacity significantly affected energy requirements, cost-effectiveness, and success of the process. Efficient extraction of lead in soils will be controlled by the presence of high concentrations of soluble ions (such as calcium) in the soil. |
