Most of the metal-based phases formed in the process of sludge incineration are toxic and their emissions need to be strictly controlled. The sludge incineration tests using tubular furnace were carried out to study the distribution of heavy metals under different operating conditions. The emphasis has been on the study of the behavior of the potentially most harmful metals present in the sludge in...
With the Tessier Five-step Continuous Extracting Method, the thesis studied the form distribution of heavy metals in the sediment samples collected from Mochou Lake, Xuanwu Lake and Qinhuai River in Nanjing, analyzed the correlation between leaching contents of heavy metals and various forms and between content of organic matter and leachability of heavy metals and between organic matter and organic...
The potential hazard of contamination directly depends on the presence and concentrations of mobile and biologically available element species. The mobility and availability of elements are known to depend on the chemical species of elements and the type of their bonding with the soil matrix. A three-step sequential extraction procedure (BCR-SEP) was used to determine the concentration of heavy metal...
The study was aimed at investigating the local plants along two sides of Dagu River to achieve guidance on the harness, remediation or management of Dagu River. For this, the herbage plant species and their covering area, heavy metal contents in the plants, and the correlation analysis between metals in local plants and in nearby sediments were investigated. Results indicate that the dominant plants...
130 wet deposition events were observed at the summit of Mt. Tai (East China, 1534 a.s.l) in China during Jan. 2005 to Dec. 2008. Zn, Al, Mn, Fe, Pb, Cu, Ni, Cr, As, and Cd were determined by ICP-MS to evaluate the characteristics of heavy metals in wet deposition at Mt. Tai region. The concentrations of these metals are generally higher at Mt. Tai than the concentrations observed at other monitoring...
Sludge can be used in agriculture as a fertilizer and soil conditioner. But heavy metals are one of the important factors affecting the sludge for agricultural purpose. In this study, the concentration of Zn, Cu, Pb, Cr, Mn and Ni in seven kinds of sludge from Guangzhou were analyzed and the chemical speciation of heavy metals in the five kinds of sludge were studied. The results showed that the concentration...
Determination of optimal sampling transects and pollutants for river sediments are essential and valuable. To determine if the concentration of some metals were highly correlated, correlations between heavy metals (As, Pb, Cd, Cr, Hg, Cu, Ni and Zn) were analyzed using statistic analysis software (SAS) based on monitoring data of heavy metals along the whole watercourse sediments of Dagu River. To...
Based on the ISCST3 model and the health risk assessment model recommended by U.S.EPA, a new health risk assessment of atmospheric environment was set up for hazardous wastes landfill disposal. The atmospheric environmental health risks of the electroplating sludge into the general industrial solid waste landfill were evaluated to verify the effectiveness of this method. The results showed that this...
By using a hydrothermal treatment process, coal fly ash was transferred to a series of synthesized zeolites and characterized XRD and SEM observations. The synthesized zeolites exhibited more enhanced adsorption capacities for metals compared to the raw material as the increased CEC of the synthesized zeolites apparently provides a better adsorptive ability for metals. For the three synthesized zeolite...
The thermal treatment method would be suitable for hospital solid waste incinerator (HSWI) fly ash with high levels of Cl. The goal is to investigate the influence of thermal treatment temperature on the evaporation rate of heavy metals in the fly ash, the phase of the residual ash and the leachability of heavy metals in the residual ash. The results show that Pb and Cd are almost completely evaporated...
This paper collected soil samples on provincial highway of Qiting of Yixing City at the leeward of the wind to study the space diversity condition of soil heavy metal pollution at the side of the road traffic under the influence of traffic. The results shows that: (1) Contents of Pb and Cu in the farmland soil on both sides of transport road existed accumulative phenomena and they were affected by...
A pot experiment was conducted to examine cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn) and nickel (Ni) bioavailabilities in arid oasis agricultural soils. Celery (Apium graveolens) was selected as the tested plant. The chemical forms of the metals in soils were characterized by sequential extraction analysis technique. The results showed that in uncontaminated arid soils, Cd, Zn and Ni existed predominantly in the less...
Three sediment short column cores were collected form Licun estuary of Jiaozhou Bay. Acid volatile sulfide (AVS) and simultaneously extracted metals (SEM, including Cu, Cd, Ni, Pb and Zn) were analyzed. The distribution characteristics and biological availability of heavy metals were studied. AVS contents in sediment samples ranged from 0.5μmol/g to 114.1μmol/g with an average value of 21.7μmol/g,...
On basis of chemical extraction technology, H3PO4 has been used to remove heavy metals from the industrial sewage sludge. At the laboratory scale, heavy metals Zn, Pb, Cd, Ni, Cr and Cu were extracted synchronously from the sewage sludge. The results showed that H3PO4 concentrations had a significant effect on the extraction efficiency of heavy metals. The extraction efficiency increased gradually...
Abstract- Column experiment simulations were carried out to determine potential metal ion migration in order to establish the environmental impact of a manganese mine wasteland and to understand the transport dynamics of heavy metal migration by way of two different soil types (tailings and tailings mud) within the Xiangtan Manganese Mine wasteland. Simulations were conducted at the Research Section...
South Taihu Lake used to get less attention in terms of environmental pollution study in the past. Sediment and fish samples were collected from South Taihu Lake in 2009. Heavy metals were measured for both types of samples and potential health risks were evaluated. Concentration of Cu, Zn, Cr and Ni were determined for sediments samples, and Cu, Zn, Ni, Fe and Mn were determined for fish samples...
The research reveals the distribution and correlation of heavy metals in groundwater of sewage irrigation area in Guangdong province. 14 groundwater samples were collected in August 2008, and the groundwater samples were filtrated through 0.45 μm membranes and acidified in the field. Determinations of Cd, Cu, Zn, Pb, Ni, and Cr in all the samples were performed using ICP-OES, and determinations of...
