Novel emergency remediation technology for heavy metal contaminated soil
Technical Field
The invention relates to an emergency air-floatation repair technology for heavy metal contaminated soil in the field of mineral processing engineering, which is particularly suitable for emergency repair treatment of heavy contaminated soil caused by sudden heavy metal leakage.
Background
Heavy metal pollution of soil has become one of the major environmental hazards worldwide. The emergency repair treatment method for the heavily polluted soil caused by sudden heavy metal leakage has less research. At present, the technology for removing heavy metals in soil at home and abroad mainly aims at the condition of light pollution degree, and can be roughly divided into three categories of physical remediation, chemical remediation and biological remediation from the remediation principle.
The physical restoration mainly comprises three methods of turning soil, replacing soil, soil dressing and the like, has the characteristics of rapidness, thoroughness and stability, but has larger engineering quantity and large investment. According to the relevant reports, the method has the advantage of 1 hm2The polluted soil in the area is subjected to engineering treatment (soil replacement), the cost of soil body per 1.0 m deep is up to $ 800-2400 ten thousand, and soil fertility is easy to weaken, so that the method is only suitable for a small-area polluted area at present.
The chemical remediation is that heavy metal ions react with coordination compounds to form stable complexes or react with acid radical ions to form precipitates, so that the existence form of the heavy metals in the soil is changed, the bioavailability and the mobility of the heavy metals in the soil are reduced, and the chemical remediation mainly comprises solidification/stabilization, leaching, an electrochemical method and a flotation method. Solidification/stabilization refers to the technique of mixing contaminated soil with a binder that can coalesce into a solid, capturing or immobilizing the contaminant in a solid structure. The soil leaching method is a method for transferring heavy metal pollutants in soil to a liquid phase by using a leaching agent and then treating the generated waste liquid. Electrochemical remediation of soil refers to a technique for in situ remediation of contaminated soil by placing suitable anodes and cathodes vertically underground and applying a low power dc electric field to remove inorganic or organic contaminants from the soil. The bioremediation technology is to utilize certain specific animals, plants and microorganisms to enable the specific animals, plants and microorganisms to absorb or degrade heavy metal pollutants in soil quickly so as to achieve the aim of purifying the soil.
The flotation method is initially applied to separation of useful minerals and gangue, and as early as 1860, Willianm Hayneo applies for the flotation method, which is one of the most important methods for mineral separation, and has more research reports on treatment of wastewater containing heavy metals and less reports on application of the flotation method to heavy metal contaminated soil. The Sunweishi application of a foam flotation method to separate heavy metal in soil, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS, 6 mg/g) is used as a foaming agent, potassium amyl xanthate (1 mg/g) or kerosene (15 mg/g) is used as a collecting agent, and when the concentration of sodium sulfide is 3 times that of the heavy metal in the soil, the removal rate of the heavy metal reaches 80%, which indicates that the foam flotation method can effectively remove the heavy metal ions in the soil.
At present, the heavy metal contaminated soil treatment methods mainly aim at the condition of light pollution degree, and have the following defects:
(1) the physical method has large energy consumption and large investment, thereby limiting the application range of the method.
(2) The biological method has long repair period and cannot be used for emergency pollution events.
(3) The chemical method has short restoration time, high efficiency, easy generation of secondary pollution and poor removal effect on heavy metals adsorbed on the surface of the soil.
Disclosure of Invention
At present, emergency repair treatment methods for severely polluted soil caused by sudden heavy metal leakage are few. The conventional methods such as physical remediation, chemical remediation and biological remediation have respective defects and are not suitable for remediation of contaminated soil in sudden pollution events. Therefore, the novel emergency remediation technology for the heavy metal contaminated soil provided by the invention can treat about 0.5-10 tons of soil per hour, is particularly suitable for emergency remediation treatment of the heavily contaminated soil caused by sudden heavy metal leakage, simultaneously recovers the heavy metals in the soil, realizes resource utilization, has the advantages of high treatment efficiency, high treatment speed, capability of simultaneously remedying various heavy metals and the like, does not need to carry the soil for the second time, removes the soil with the heavy metals, stacks the soil in situ after dehydration, and settles and exposes the filtered water to reach the surface water discharge standard.
