Abstract

Removing heavy metals, esp. Cd, from contaminated soil or contaminated earth comprises placing one or more anodes and cathodes in the soil or earth at a distance apart which is dependent on the depth of the water in the subsoil, and passing a current between them.

Werkwijze voor het verwijderen van (schadelijke) zware metalen uit verontreinigde bodem/grond.Method for removing (harmful) heavy metals from contaminated soil / soil.

De uitvinding heeft betrekking op een werkwijze voor het verwijderen van zware metalen, in het bijzonder cadmium, uit verontreinigde grond of verontreinigde bydem.The invention relates to a method for removing heavy metals, in particular cadmium, from contaminated soil or contaminated bydem.

Het is bekend (Extractive Metallurgy of Copper, A.K. Biswas, 5 University of Queensland, Australia, Pergamon InternationalIt is known (Extractive Metallurgy of Copper, A.K.Biswas, 5 University of Queensland, Australia, Pergamon International

Library, International Series on Materials Science, Vol.20, 1976) koper of zink in de fabriek uit erts m.h.v. electrolyse te winnen.Library, International Series on Materials Science, Vol. 20, 1976) copper or zinc in the factory from ore with the aid of electrolysis.

Het zink bijvoorbeeld wordt daarbij in oplossing naar een kathode gevoerd en daarop als metalliek zink afgezet.The zinc, for example, is fed in solution to a cathode and deposited thereon as metallic zinc.

IQ Gevonden werd een werkwijze voor het verwijderen van schade lijke zware metalen uit een verontreinigde grond of bodem, welke werkwijze is gekenmerkt, doordat men een of meer anoden of kathoden in de grond respectievelijk bodem op een afstand van elkaar, die afhankelijk is van de diepte van het grondwater, steekt en ^5 daartussen een stroom aanlegt.IQ has found a method for removing harmful heavy metals from a contaminated soil or soil, which method is characterized in that one or more anodes or cathodes in the soil or soil are spaced apart depending on the depth of the groundwater, and ^ 5 creates a current between them.

Opgemerkt wordt, dat het reeds bekend is (Introduction to Geophysical Prospecting, Milton Dobrin, Me Graw Hill Book Co.,It is noted that it is already known (Introduction to Geophysical Prospecting, Milton Dobrin, Me Graw Hill Book Co.,

New York, 1952, Chapter 16 ''Electrical Prospecting Methods") elec-trische stroom toe te passen voor het opsporen van grondwater.New York, 1952, Chapter 16 "Electrical Prospecting Methods") to apply electrical power for groundwater detection.

20 De uitvinding heeft in het bijzonder betrekking op het verwij deren van cadmium uit de grond. Cadmium kan als verontreiniging in het grondwater of de grond aanwezig zijn in opgeloste vorm, mogelijk geadsorbeerd aan kleideeltjes. Deze adsorptie kan eindigen door inwerking van bacteriën of electrische stroom.The invention particularly relates to the removal of cadmium from the soil. Cadmium can be present as a contaminant in groundwater or soil in dissolved form, possibly adsorbed on clay particles. This adsorption can end by the action of bacteria or electric current.

25 De toe te passen stroomsterkte is afhankelijk van de diepte van het grondwater. Als vuistregel geldt een stroomsterkte in A, die 4x zo groot is als deze diepte in m. Bij een hoge stroomsterkte verloopt het proces sneller, maar bestaat het risico van afwijkingen. In het algemeen wordt gestreefd naar een zo hoog mogelijke 30 stroomsterkte.25 The current to be applied depends on the depth of the groundwater. As a rule of thumb, a current in A is 4x as great as this depth in m. At a high current, the process proceeds faster, but there is a risk of deviations. Generally, the aim is to have the highest possible amperage.

Bij de werkwijze volgens de uitvinding wordt bij voorkeur een stroomsterkte van 5 - 10 A. toegepast bij 220 Volt gelijkstroom.In the method according to the invention, a current strength of 5 - 10 A is preferably used at 220 V DC.

Mogelijk kan ook een electrode van betonijzer in een draina-geslang gevuld met een zwakke natriumsulfaatoplossing als anode die-35 nen.A rebar electrode in a drain hose filled with a weak sodium sulfate solution may also serve as an anode.

Voorts is gebleken, dat de werkwijze volgens de uitvinding kan worden versneld door de grond met water met een pH van 3-5 te besproeien.It has further been found that the method according to the invention can be accelerated by spraying the soil with water with a pH of 3-5.

Voorbeeld 5 Op een terrein van 4-00 m^ grond, die 25 mg cadmium per kg bevat (ofwel 25 kg), worden 10 anoden en kathoden op een afstand van 8 m van elkaar (bij een diepte van het grondwater van 2 m) geplaatst. Op de electroden wordt een stroomsterkte van 5 A middels 220 Volt gelijkstroom aangelegd. Uitgaande van 1 mg Cd/A.sec. en 10 een electrische stroom, die voor 25% uit Cd-ionen bestaat, is er na een periode van 3 maanden een hoeveelheid van 50% van het cadmium aan de kathoden afgezet.Example 5 In an area of 4-00 m 2 soil, containing 25 mg cadmium per kg (or 25 kg), 10 anodes and cathodes are spaced 8 m apart (at a depth of 2 m groundwater) placed. A current of 5 A is applied to the electrodes via 220 Volt direct current. Starting from 1 mg Cd / A.sec. and an electric current consisting of 25% Cd ions, 50% of the cadmium is deposited on the cathodes after a period of 3 months.
