Successful design of soil liner and covers for landfills and waste impoundments involves selection of liner material and assessment
of chemical compatibility of the liner material. In this work locally available materials with different mineralogy have been
evaluated from the viewpoint of liner application. Many local soils may not meet the requirements of liner material; often
it is necessary to amend these soils with commercially available processed bentonite. Clay liners may be attacked by chemical
waste or leachate, concentrated organic chemicals can attack compacted clay effectively destroying the characteristics of
liner material. Thus the main aim of this work has been to assess the suitability of different types of locally available
materials for their potential use as liners for waste containment facilities. The materials studied are kaolinitic red earth,
illite and fly ash. Based on literature survey and experimental work in this laboratory, 20% by weight of bentonite has been
chosen for amending selected materials. Addition of 20% bentonite to selected liner material improved the hydraulic conductivity
and adsorption capacity of the amended mixture but, reduced the volume stability. To improve the volume stability of the amended
material and to have better resistance towards chemicals attack, stabilizing the amended mixture with 1% by weight of lime
has been considered. The relative advantages and disadvantages of four materials namely; red earth with 20% bentonite, illite
with 20% bentonite, fly ash with 20% bentonite and illite alone, stabilized with 1% by weight of lime were brought out. The
chemical compatibility of the materials to electrolyte solution (0.5 N NaCl), alkaline solution (0.5 N NaOH), acid (0.5 N
HCl) and organic fluid (CCl4) has been studied. The relative efficiency of the selected materials with selected pore fluids was compared. 相似文献

Immobilization of Cd,Zn and Pb in sewage sludge using red mud 总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1
Sewage sludge is an inevitable end by-product of sewage treatment. Land application provides a cost-effective alternative
for sewage sludge disposal. However, sewage sludge contains heavy metals that may limit its application. In this work, red
mud was employed for the immobilization of heavy metals in sewage sludge. The effect of red mud amendment on heavy metal immobilization
was evaluated using Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) method. The TCLP results showed that the immobilization
efficiency of Cd, Zn and Pb was 100, 92, and 82%, respectively, when sewage sludge was mixed with 10% red mud. Tests carried
out in leaching columns demonstrated that heavy metal concentrations in the leachate of 10% red mud amended sludge were lower
than those of the unamended sludge. Moreover, red mud decreased plant available heavy metal (Cd, Zn and Pb) content from 18.1,
17.2 and 14.6% to 6.9, 11.4 and 7.6%, respectively. Sequential chemical extraction experiments showed that after sludge was
amended with 10% red mud, exchangeable fraction was reduced and iron and manganese oxides fraction was increased. Red mud
amendment can effectively immobilize Cd, Zn and Pb in sewage sludge before land application. 相似文献

This paper presents leachate studies on fly ash-stabilised expansive clay liners. Fly ash in different contents (0%, 10%, 20% and 30%) by dry weight of the expansive clay was added to the clay, and the ash-clay blend was compacted as a liner overlying a compacted lateritic clay layer. Deionised water (DIW) and calcium chloride (CaCl2) solutions of varying concentration (5 mM, 10 mM, 20 mM, 50 mM, 100 mM and 500 mM) were used as the permeating fluids in the leachate studies. Chemical analysis of the leachate was performed. For a given CaCl2 concentration, the concentrations of both calcium ion and chloride ion in the leachate decreased up to a fly ash content of 20%, and thereafter they increased when the fly ash content was increased to 30%. Further, for a given fly ash content, concentrations of calcium ion and chloride ion increased with increasing CaCl2 concentration. 相似文献

Earthen barriers or clay liners are a major concern in geo-environmental engineering. They are designed to preclude or reduce leachate migration. Hence, a low hydraulic conductivity (k) is an important parameter in the design of clay liners. Materials such as bentonite and lateritic clays, which have a low hydraulic conductivity at high dry densities, are used in the construction of clay liners. Compacted expansive clays which are high in montmorillonite content also have a very low hydraulic conductivity. When expansive clays are blended with fly ash, an industrial waste, the hydraulic conductivity further reduces as the ash-clay blends result in increased dry densities at increased fly ash contents. Hence, fly ash-stabilised expansive clay can also be proposed as an innovative clay liner material. It is, therefore, required to study various physical and engineering properties of this new clay liner material. Liquid limit (LL) and free swell index (FSI) are important index properties to be studied in the case of this clay liner material. The hydraulic conductivity of this new clay liner material depends on the fly ash content in the blend. Further, parameters such as solute concentration and kinematic viscosity also influence hydraulic conductivity of clay liners. This paper presents experimental results obtained on hydraulic conductivity (k) of fly ash-stabilised expansive clay liner at varying fly ash content and solute concentration. The tests were performed with deionised water (DIW), CaCl2, NaCl and KCl as permeating fluids. Fly ash content in the blend was varied as 0, 10, 20 and 30 % by weight of the expansive clay, and the solute concentration was varied as 5 mM (milli molar), 10, 20, 50, 100 and 500. It was found that hydraulic conductivity (k) decreased with increasing fly ash content, solute concentration and kinematic viscosity. Further, hydraulic conductivity (k) was correlated with LL and FSI of the clay liner material for different fly ash contents and solute concentrations. Useful correlations were obtained. 相似文献

Micro-test approaches like XRF, XRD and SEM and routine soil tests were applied to analyze the chemical composition, mineral composition, microstructure and basic physical property indicators of three kinds of red mud, which were the Bayer red mud, sintering red mud as well as the mixed red mud prepared by sintering red mud and the Bayer red mud at the mixture ratio of 1:1. On this basis, in the dehumidification-moisture absorption process, the relationship among matric suction, hydraulic conductivity and moisture content of the three types of red mud was studied by transient hydraulic characteristic cyclic test of unsaturated mud. The results indicated: physicochemical properties of the three kinds of red mud, such as mineral composition, microstructure and size grading varied remarkably; on the condition of the same moisture content, SWCC and HCFC of the three kinds of red mud demonstrated obvious hysteresis effect, which is the most significant on the Bayer mud, less on the sintering red mud and the least on the mixed mud; the Bayer red mud possess smaller hydraulic conductivity, worse drainage and stability. 相似文献

In the present study, the enrichment, availability, speciation of heavy metals including Pb, Zn, Cu, Cd, Ni and Sb and magnetic properties of urban soils of Xuzhou (China) were investigated. All analyzed metals showed elevated concentrations compared to local background concentrations. Cadmium and Sb are the metals most enriched in the analyzed area, presenting enrichment factor, on average, of 16.5 and 8.3, respectively. By self-organizing map in combination with diagnostic ratios, the source of Sb, Cd, Cu and Pb in soils might be mainly from traffic emissions. Sequential extractions indicate that metals were primarily associated with the reducible fraction with the exception of Ni. The order of extraction efficiency of various metals was SBET (simplified physiologically based extraction test) > DTPA (diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid) > CaCl2. The magnetic results show that soil samples were dominated by a strong ferrimagnetic mineral component with multi- and single-domain magnetic grains. Only CaCl2 extractable Sb was found to show significant correlations with χlf and SIRM. For both DTPA and SBET extractions, all metals investigated showed significant associations with both χlf and SIRM (saturation isothermal remanent magnetization). 相似文献

After completion of an exploration well, sandstones of the Exter Formation were hydraulically tested to determine the hydraulic properties and to evaluate chemical and microbial processes caused by drilling and water production. The aim was to determine the suitability of the formation as a reservoir for aquifer thermal energy storage. The tests revealed a hydraulic conductivity of 1–2 E-5 m/s of the reservoir, resulting in a productivity index of 0.6–1 m3/h/bar. A hydraulic connection of the Exter Formation to the overlaying, artesian “Rupelbasissand” cannot be excluded. Water samples were collected for chemical and microbiological analyses. The water was similarly composed as sea water with a maximum salinity of 24.9 g/L, dominated by NaCl (15.6 g/L Cl and 7.8 g/L Na). Until the end of the tests, the water was affected by drilling mud as indicated by the high pH (8.9) and high bicarbonate concentration (359 mg/L) that both resulted from the impact of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) additives. The high amount of dissolved organic matter (>?58 mg/L) and its molecular-weight distribution pattern indicated that residues of cellulose, an ingredient of the drilling mud, were still present at the end of the tests. Clear evidence of this contamination gave the measured uranine that was added as a tracer into the drilling mud. During fluid production, the microbial community structure and abundance changed and correlated with the content of drilling mud. Eight taxa of sulfate-reducing bacteria, key organisms in processes like bio-corrosion and bio-clogging, were identified. It can be assumed that their activity will be affected during usage of the reservoir. 相似文献

Clay liners or compacted earthen barriers are important barrier materials used for preventing contaminant transport through soils. A low hydraulic conductivity (k) is a significant parameter that governs the design and construction of clay liners. Compacted expansive clays, which are montmorillonite clays, also have a very low hydraulic conductivity (k). When expansive clays are blended with fly ash, an industrial waste, the hydraulic conductivity (k) further reduces as the ash-clay blends result in increased dry densities at increased fly ash contents. Hence, fly ash-stabilised expansive clay can also be proposed as a unique clay liner material. As expansive clays undergo heave when they come into contact with water, it is necessary to study the heave behaviour of fly ash-stabilised expansive clay liners. This paper presents heave studies on fly ash-stabilised expansive clay liners. Fly ash in different contents by dry weight of the expansive clay was added to the clay, and the ash-clay blend was compacted as a liner overlying a natural field soil layer. Compacted lateritic clay was used for simulating the natural field soil into which contaminants migrate. Calcium chloride (CaCl2) solution of varying concentration (5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 500 mM) was used as the permeating fluid in the heave studies. The rate of heave and the amount of heave of the fly ash-stabilised expansive clay liners were monitored. Deionised water (DIW) was also used as inundating fluid for comparative study. Heave (mm) decreased with increase in solute concentration for all fly ash contents. For a given solute concentration, heave decreased up to a fly ash content of 20 % and thereafter it increased when the fly ash content was increased to 30 %. Heave of the fly ash-stabilised expansive clay liners was correlated with their permeability, liquid limit (LL) and free swell index (FSI) pertaining to the respective fly ash content and CaCl2 concentration. 相似文献

With different properties, zinc is one of the most important non-ferrous metals and it is used in various application areas, especially as an anti-corrosion agent. In Turkey, zinc production was based on zinc carbonate ores (ZnCO3), at Çinkur plant from establishment to 1997 due to high reserves of zinc carbonate. After that, zinc concentrate coming from Iran was used in this plant over the last two decades. Thus, two different leach residues called as Turkish leach residue (TLR) and Iranian leach residue (ILR) were accumulated more than one million ton in Çinkur stock piles. In this study, it is aimed to investigate zinc recovery for each leach residue by use of sulphuric acid (H2SO4) and to compare the TLR and the ILR. Initially, detailed chemical, mineralogical and thermal analyses of these different leach residues were carried out. In order to investigate the effect of acid concentration and reaction duration on zinc recovery, leaching experiments were carried out at following conditions: 95 °C, 100 g/L pulp density and 600 rpm stirring rate. According to the characterization results, the chemical compositions for both residues are nearly similar; however, experimental results show that zinc recovery per cent of the ILR was higher than that of TLR for all experimental durations and acid concentrations. This may be due to the presence of Zn-containing compounds in the both residues at different percentages. 相似文献

Interaction of organic acids and pH on multi-heavy metal extraction from alkaline and acid mine soils 总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4

Vegetation at mining sites can produce increased heavy metal leaching by the organic acids and protons originating from root secretion and litter degradation. Batch experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of organic acids and pH on the extraction of Pb, Cd, Zn and Cu from an alkaline mine soil (sampled from a mining site of Chenzhou City, Hunan Province) and an acid mine soil (sampled from a mining site of Daxin county, Guangxi Province). The results showed that in the presence of organic acids (acetic, oxalic, malic, fumaric, tartaric and citric acids) at pH 7, the extraction of Pb, Cd, Zn and Cu from the acid mine soil was much higher than that from the alkaline mine soil, in which only citric acid with higher concentration was capable of extracting some heavy metals. Citric acid had the strongest ability in extracting heavy metals, followed by oxalic acid. Heavy metal extraction dramatically decreased with increasing pH. Moreover, at low pH, oxalic acid promoted the risk of Cu leaching; at high pH, the leaching of Pb, Zn, Cd and Cu was enhanced by both oxalic and citric acids. This indicated that those plants, which can produce substantial citric acid or oxalic acid by root secretion and litter degradation, should not be selected for the revegetation of mining sites. 相似文献

Smectite clay has been proposed for embedding canisters with highly radioactive waste in deep repositories because of its isolating capacity. Montmorillonite-rich bentonite is a premier buffer candidate for many national organizations that are responsible for disposal of such waste. Experience from the use of drilling mud at large depths indicates that other smectite clay minerals are more stable chemically and saponite is one of them. The physical properties of smectitic mixed-layer minerals like Friedland clay are known to be less sensitive to high salt contents and such clay may also be a buffer candidate. Montmorillonite-rich MX-80 clay, Greek saponite with a minor amount of palygorskite, and Friedland clay were investigated in hydrothermal tests with dense samples confined in oedometers with 95 °C temperature at one end, which was made of copper, and 35 °C at the other, for 8 weeks. A 1 % CaCl2 solution was circulated through a filter at the cold end. At the end of the tests, the samples were sliced into three parts, which were tested with respect to expandability, hydraulic conductivity, and chemical composition. The tests showed that while the saponite was hardly changed at all and did not take up any copper, MX-80 underwent substantial changes in physical performance and adsorbed significant amounts of copper. The Friedland clay sample was intermediate in both respects. 相似文献

There is increasing concern about soil enrichment with K+ and subsequent potential losses following long-term application of poor quality water to agricultural land. Different models
are increasingly being used for predicting or analyzing water flow and chemical transport in soils and groundwater. The convective–dispersive
equation (CDE) and the convective log-normal transfer function (CLT) models were fitted to the potassium (K+) leaching data. The CDE and CLT models produced equivalent goodness of fit. Simulated breakthrough curves for a range of
CaCl2 concentration based on parameters of 15 mmol l−1 CaCl2 were characterised by an early peak position associated with higher K+ concentration as the CaCl2 concentration used in leaching experiments decreased. In another method, the parameters estimated from 15 mmol l−1 CaCl2 solution were used for all other CaCl2 concentrations, and the best value of retardation factor (R) was optimised for each data set. A better prediction was found. With decreasing CaCl2 concentration the value of R is required to be more than that measured (except for 10 mmol l−1 CaCl2), if the estimated parameters of 15 mmol l−1 CaCl2 are used. The two models suffer from the fact that they need to be calibrated against a data set, and some of their parameters
are not measurable and cannot be determined independently. 相似文献

This paper focuses on characterizing the current status of physical and chemical characteristics of King Talal Dam (KTD) sediments. The quality of sediments was investigated based on several international sediment quality guidelines. The volume of sediment and sedimentation rate in (KTD) was also estimated. Five types of granulometric textural facies were observed for the sediments of KTD reservoir bed, with an average grain size distribution of gravel (1.38%), sand (32.38%), silt (32.35%) and clay (32.38%). The fraction of <63 micron showed that the total mean size was 8.0 micron. Other sediment parameters in KTD were 7.0% for total organic matter (TOM), 7.3 for pH, 35.9% for CaCO3 and 100.5 meq/100 g for cation exchange capacity, with dominant mineralogical constituents of quartz, calcite, dolomite, clay minerals and minor feldspar. The total concentrations of F, Cl, NO2, NO3, PO4 and SO4 in sediment samples were lower inward for KTD. The vast majority of trace metals in sediments were generally within the standard limits recommended for soils. TOM and grain size of sediment are major factors governing the trace metal concentrations. The calculated geoaccumulation index (I geo) and enrichment factor of metals in bottom sediments showed that the metals were in the following order: Cd > Pb > Zn > Co > Cr > Ni > Fe > Cu > Sr > Mn and Cd > Zn > Pb > Co > Cr > Ni > Cu > Sr > Mn, respectively. Based on the sonic survey of KTD reservoir, the annual sedimentation rate was about 0.4061 MCM/year, in which about 18.66% of the reservoir initial storage capacity was lost to sediments and a projected lifespan of about 198 years. 相似文献

The influence of alkaline aqueous solutions on the properties of bentonite was investigated to evaluate the performance of bentonitic engineered barriers when contacted with alkaline groundwater. Batch and hydraulic conductivity tests were conducted on Na-bentonite using six different alkaline aqueous solutions. For the batch tests, almost no change in the montmorillonite fraction of the bentonite was observed after reacting with alkaline solutions (pH = 8.4–13.1), regardless of the solution type. On the other hand, aluminosilicate minerals (e.g., albite) were dissolved and secondary minerals (e.g., anorthite) were formed in alkaline NaOH solutions (pH > 13). The cation (Ca or Na) concentration primarily affected the swelling properties of bentonite rather than the pH of the solution, which was comparable to the results of the hydraulic conductivity tests. For the Ca solutions, the hydraulic conductivity of the bentonite specimen to the 0.02 mol/L Ca(OH)2 solution (6.5 × 10?9 cm/s) was approximately an order of magnitude lower than that of the bentonite specimen to the 0.02 mol/L Ca(OH)2 + 1 mol/L CaCl2 solution (5.0 × 10?8 cm/s), whereas the hydraulic conductivity to the 0.02 mol/L Ca(OH)2 + 1 mol/L CaCl2 solution (pH = 11.3) (5.0 × 10?8 cm/s) was slightly higher than that to the 1 mol/L CaCl2 solution (pHi = 8.4) (4.4 × 10?8 cm/s). For the NaOH solutions with pH > 13, the hydraulic conductivity of the bentonite specimen decreased with increasing Na concentration, suggesting that the effect of Na concentration was more dominant than that of permeant pH. 相似文献

The raw sands from Hohenbocka (Germany) containing iron essentially in pyrite form is used for glass grade sands processing by dump leaching for several weeks followed by attrition and two-stage classification. The analysis of the sands by means of X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis (RFA) showed an average of about 420 ppm Fe. The objective of this investigation was to reduce the processing time and the total iron content below 105 ppm in the sand product for special glass applications. Due to the presence of sulfide and oxide iron at different ratios in raw sands, a combination of chemical and physical methods was investigated. Leaching was carried out at different acid concentrations, followed by surface cleaning by neutral and alkaline attrition, and gravity separation. Additionally, the effect of continuous addition of H2O2 during leaching to remove iron from sands was investigated. Only two days of leaching was required at the initial acid concentration to 25 g/L. After attrition and tabling of leached sands, a product with 84 ppm of iron was achieved. The continuous removal of dissolved metals by adsorption with active carbon could make it possible to reuse the regenerated sulphuric acid for leaching. With recirculation, the quantity of fresh sulphuric acid required was 0.4 kg/t of quartz sand. 相似文献

Utilization of red mud as a stabilization material for the preparation of clay liners 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
Red mud is a waste material generated by the Bayer Process widely used to produce alumina from bauxite throughout the world. Approximately, 35% to 40% per ton of bauxite treated using the Bayer Process ends up as red mud waste. Because of storing issues, the waste negatively affects the environment. To solve this problem, it is essential to investigate different uses for red mud waste. The potential use of red mud for the preparation of stabilization material is presented in this study. This study examines the effects of red mud on the unconfined compressive strength, hydraulic conductivity, and swelling percentage of compacted clay liners as a hydraulic barrier. The test results show that compacted clay samples containing red mud and cement–red mud additives have a high compressive strength and decreased the hydraulic conductivity and swelling percentage as compared to natural clay samples. Consequently, it is concluded that red mud and cement–red mud materials can be successfully used for the stabilization of clay liners in geotechnical applications. 相似文献

Trace elements in streambed sediments of floodplains: consequences for water management measures 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
The occurrence of trace metals was studied at the interface between groundwater and the drainage system of a large floodplain in NE Germany, the Oderbruch region. Depending on the predominant hydraulic connectivity between groundwater and the drainage channels, the geochemical environment creates a high variability in the accumulation of Fe, Mn, Cd, Zn, Cu, and As. The mobility of the trace metals depends on spatial variable redox transition zones which act as geochemical barriers between the anaerobe aquifer and the oxic surface waters. In drainage ditches with high exchange flow between groundwater and surface water the transition zone is small and unstable with a low retention potential for trace metals. Decreasing hydraulic gradients and respectively decreasing base flow cause the change for an extensive transition zone with increasing trace metal accumulation in the channel sediments. The accumulation is mainly controlled by oxidation and degassing of CO2. In the streambed sediments of channels which periodically run dry an effective chemical barrier can be observed. This Fe dominated oxic horizon controls the accumulation of Mn > Cu > As > Zn > Cd, which are mainly associated with fresh, amorphous Fe oxyhydroxides. The chemical barriers can be instable and reversible. Therefore, water management decisions are discussed which stabilize the barriers by controlling aquifer-channel exchange rates, channel oxygen content and surface water levels. 相似文献
