Removal of Lead from Contaminated Soils with Chelating Agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
The biodegradable chelating agents [S,S]-ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid (EDDS), citric acid and the low biodegradable chelating agent ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) were investigated for their applicability for the removal of lead from soil by soil washing and electrokinetic processing. In the soil washing tests at 298K, the removal efficiency of lead with EDDS and EDTA was high in the pH range from 7 to 10 and the ability of lead removal with EDDS in this pH region is comparable to that with EDTA.Meanwhile, the removal efficiency of lead with citric acid was approximately 50% at pH 4 and decreased with increasing pH. Therefore, citric acid was hardly useful. Acid contribution was predominant for the removal of lead with EDDS and citric acid at pH 4 and the complexation between these chelating agents and lead were negligible. In the electrokinetic tests at ambient temparature, EDTA was more effective than EDDS and citric acid for lead transport through the soil by electrokinetic processing.

Consequences of heavy metal accumulation in soils are of great concern. One way of decontaminating heavy metals from soils is using chelating agents, particularly EDTA. In this research, three contaminated soils (with total concentration of these metals of 10.5, 55.8 and 80.6 mmol kg-1) were collected from the surface layer of the lands surrounding a zinc-lead smelting plant in Zanjan province....
متن کاملThe use of chelating agents in the remediation of metal-contaminated soils: a review.
This paper reviews current remediation technologies that use chelating agents for the mobilization and removal of potentially toxic metals from contaminated soils. These processes can be done in situ as enhanced phytoextraction, chelant enhanced electrokinetic extraction and soil flushing, or ex situ as the extraction of soil slurry and soil heap/column leaching. Current proposals on how to tre...
متن کاملPyrene removal from contaminated soils by modified Fenton oxidation using iron nano particles
BACKGROUND The problems related to conventional Fenton oxidation, including low pH required and production of considerable amounts of sludge have led researchers to investigate chelating agents which might improve the operating range of pH and the use of nano iron particle to reduce the excess sludge. The pyrene removal from contaminated soils by modified Fenton oxidation at neutral pH was defi...

Background and Aim: Problems related to conventional Fenton oxidation, including neccesity of having a low pH and production of considerable amounts of sludge, have prompted researchers to consider chelating agents to improve the pH operating range and iron nano-oxide particles to reduce excess sludge. The main objective of this study was to remove pyrene from contaminated soils by a modified F...
