Alkalic Leaching and Stabilization of Arsenic from Pyrite Cinders
نویسندگان
چکیده
Results & Discussion: The content of arsenic in pyrite cinders was reduced to 0.08% through the investigation of the factors, including particle size, alkaline concentration, temperature, solid-liquid ratio (S/L) and leaching time. Then, the ferric precipitation method was used to remove the arsenic in the leaching solution. More than 99% of the arsenic can be removed by controlling the pH and the ratio of ferric and arsenic (Fe/As) in ambient temperature, and the arsenic concentration in the solution was reduced to less than 0.5mg/L.

Solid-phase products of bacterial oxidation of arsenical pyrite.
Bacterial leaching of an As-containing pyrite concentrate produced acidic (pH < 1) leachates. During the leaching, the bacteria solubilized both As and Fe, and these two elements were distributed in solution-phase and solid-phase products. Jarosite and scorodite were the exclusive crystalline products in precipitate samples from the bacterial leaching of the sulfide concentrate.
متن کاملArsenic contaminated site at an abandoned copper smelter plant: waste characterization and solidification/stabilization treatment.
A preliminary survey of an arsenic contaminated site from an abandoned copper smelting facility and feasibility study of using solidification/stabilization (S/S) process to treat the contaminant waste were undertaken. It was found that the waste, located in the three-flue gas discharge tunnels, contained 2-40% arsenic. The pH of the contaminated waste is extremely low (ranging from 1.8 to 3.6)....
متن کاملArsenic release from pyrite ashes: kinetic studies.
Arsenic mobility in pyrite ashes was studied because of the possible effects on water systems. The batch extraction method was used to assess kinetics and extent of As release induced by contact of the material either with rainwater or groundwater. Self-established pH-Eh range of pyrite ashes/water mixtures brought both As(III) and As(V) to be present in the water phase, as neutral arsenite H3A...
متن کاملRedox transformations of arsenic and iron in water treatment sludge during aging and TCLP extraction.
Laboratory experiments and modeling studies were performed to investigate the redox transformations of arsenic and iron in water treatment sludge during aging, and to evaluate the impact of those transformations on the leachability of arsenic determined with the U.S. EPA toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP). When the backwash suspension samples collected from a California surface w...
متن کاملPotential use of pyrite cinders as raw material in cement production: results of industrial scale trial operations.
Pyrite cinders, which are the waste products of sulphuric acid manufacturing plants, contain hazardous heavy metals with potential environmental risks for disposal. In this study, the potential use of pyrite cinders (PyCs) as iron source in the production of Portland cement clinker was demonstrated at the industrial scale. The chemical and mineralogical analyses of the PyC sample used in this s...
