Description

~05ZO:~
This invention re]ates to fl~ing agent~s for heavy ~eta's and heavy metal ccmlpounds and in particular to fixing agerlts which react with - heavy metal ions or heavy metal compound precipitates of heavy metal ions and heavy metal compounds, and render heavy metal compounds insoluble.
Large areas of the environment have already become polluted with heavy metals and heavy metal compounds which are discharged from mines, factories, cars, hospitals, laboratories or are scattered by-products containing heavy metals such as electric batteries and luminescent lamps.
The heavy metals and heavy metal compounds dissolve in river water or subterranean waters and are ingested by plants and animals, and then by humans when they consume the plants and animals.
It is an object of this invention to provide a fixing agent which selectively fixes heavy metals and heavy metal compounds and renders them insoluble in water.
It is another object of this invention to provide fixing agents that prevent or interfere with ingestion of heavy metals by plants.
~; It is another object to provide a fixing agent which prevents i release of heavy metals from drainage or sewage which contains heavy metal and which comes from a factory, laboratory or hospital.
It is another object to provide a method of rendering slurry or solid waste which contains heavy metal or heavy metal compounds harmless and insoluble and to prevent leaching out of heavy metal or heavy metal compounds.
Other objects of this invention will become apparent from the following specification and claims.
According to the invention, aliphatic dithiocarbamate compounds are used as fixing age~ts for heavy metals and may be mixed with soil, water or solid or slurry waste which contains heavy metal or heavy metal compounds. The fixing agents react with heavy metal or heavy metal compounds and form compounds insoluble in water.
The compounds of the invention have certain novel uses in addition - 1 - ~

1 to being precipitants. ~or example, when slurry or granular waste contain-ing heavy metals or heavy metallic compounds, such as mud containing mercuric compounds produced as a result of electrolysis of alkali-chloride in a n~7e~r~rcell waste is packed in concrete containers which are dumped into the sea or buried in the ground. In many instances, the heavy metals or heavy metal compounds are exude through the walls of the concrete containers and pollute thelr surroundings. In such cases mixing a fixing agent such as an aliphatic or aromatic dithiocarbamate with the waste at a rate of 0.1 to 50% of the agent per volume of waste completely prevents the exudation of harmful heavy metal and heavy metal compounds and further when the agent is homogeneously mixed in concrete or mortar - in an amount of 0.001~ to 10% preferably 0.001 to 1% by volume of cement in the concrete or mortar, heavy metals and heavy metal compounds are prevented from passing through the cement or mortar walls. Moreover materials which solidify for example cement e.g. Portland cement, or resinous materials containing 0.001% to 10% preferably 0.001% to 1% of the agent can be used for packing harmful heavy metallic compounds and further, walls or containers made from such solidifying material will prevent passage there-through of heavy metals and heavy metal compounds. Such structures for example could be drainage pipes.
The agents may be used in agriculture when soils contain heavy metal or heavy metal compounds so that crops planted in the soil take up the metals or metal compounds. In such cases the passing of heavy metal or heavy metallic compound into the plants can be prevented by adding the agents to the soil. Ordinarily 0.001% to 10%, preferably 0.01% to 2~, of ; the agent is added and homogeneously mixed in the soil. The agents are most effective, when the soil has weak acidity to weak alkalinity, from pH 11 to pH 5, against mercury, copper and cadmium. Heavy metal or heavy metallic compound in irrigation water is precipitated by adding the fixing agent to the water in order to protect crops from pollution.
According to the invention, aliphatic dithiocarbamate compound means 105ZOZl a compound having an al-iphatic chain whicll may contain a nitrogen atom in place of a carbon atom and at least two dithiocarbamate groups (> N-C-S-) S
and which is contained in the compound in the form of acid (R-NHCSSH or R' > NCSSH), or salt or esters of alkali metals, alkaline earth metals and ammonium hydroxide, of the dithiocarbamic acid group.

stable than aliphatic dithiocarbamate compounds, 50 that aliphatic dithio-carbamate compounds having 5 or more carbon atoms are preferred according to the invention.
These dithiocarbamate compounds can be easily prepared from corres-ponding amine compounds such as ethylenediamine, diethylenetriamir.e, triethyl-enetetramine, tetraethylenepentamine, pentaethylenehexamine, dipropylenetri-amine,tripropylenetetramine, tetrapropylenepe~tamine, dibutylenetriamine, tributylenetetramine, tetrabutylenepentamine by reacting carbon bisulfide in thepresenceof solvent such as acetone, methylethyl ketonc dnd water, and alkaline catalysts such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and ammonium hydrox~eat a temperature from -10C. to 60C., preferably at 20C. to 45C.
The reaction mixtures contain dithiocarbamate compound which has a red-orange or brown colour, in the form of a salt. The reflction between the hydrogen atom which combines with the nitrogen atom of an amino or imino group and carbon bisulfide proceedsquantitatively. Accordingly the same number of gram molecules of carbon disulfide as the proposed number of dithlocarbamate groups of the proposed compound iB employed in its preparation.
For example, when two dithiocarbamate groups are intended to be introduced in amine compound, two gram moles of carbon bisulfide are reacted with one gram mole of amine compound. Ordinarily aliphatic dithio-carbamate compounds can be used in the form of an aqueous solution as a fixing agent. If desired an aqueous solution of an aliphatic dithiocarba-mate compound may be impregnated into a carrier and a granular or paste fixing agent can be obtained. In this case 1 to 30% of aliphatic or aromatic dithiocarbamate compound is preferably used.
Many kinds of materials having a porous structurc and large specific surfaces can be emyloyed as the carrier and preferably porous lOSZOZl materlal having large 6pecific surface~ mo~e than 1 m /g (BET's method using argon gas), for example, diatomaceous earth, pumice stone, zeolite, kaolin, vermiculite, alumina (aluminum oxide), silicagel, co~e, activa~ed charcoal, graphlte, bentonite, foamed urethane res~n having open cells.
The fixing agents can s¢lectlvely react with heavy metal and heavy metallic compounds such as: nickel, chromium, zinc, lead, copper, cadmium, silver, arsenic, manganese, bismuth, vsnadium, and particularly, mercury, even if the heavy metals or compounds exist as nonionlc or ionic compounds. So far as concerns mercuric and silver compounds, various types of compound can be fixed, for example, metallic oxides such as HgO andAg2O, metallic chlorides such as HgC12 and AgCl, metalllc sulphates such as HgS04, Hg2S04 and AgS04, metallic nitrates such as Hg(N03)2 and Hg2(N03)2, metallic sulphides such as HgS and Hg2S, and organometallic cDmpounds such as methylmercuric chloride, ethylmercuric chloride, phenylmercuric acetate, ethylmercuric iodide, methylmercuric iodide, methylmercuric bromide, phenylmercuric chloride, diphenylmercury and phenylmercuric benzoate are fixed.
