Remediation of heavy metal-organic compound polluted soil by calcium oxide activated persulfate oxidation
The calcium oxide activated persulfate oxidation method was studied to remediate heavy metal-organic compound polluted soil.Influence of sodium persulfate dosage,ratio of sodium persulfate to calci-um oxide,soil and water ratio on the restoration effect were investigated,and the mechanism was dis-cussed.The result showed that the dosage of sodium persulfate was 2.5 mmol/g,the dosage ratio of sodi-um persulfate and calcium oxide was 2:5,and the water-soil ratio was 3∶1,the passivation rate of mercury and arsenic were 81%and 83%,and the existing forms of mercury and arsenic were converted from weak acid extraction state to more stable residue state,and the removal rate of chloroform,benzene,total petro-leum hydrocarbons and 1,2,3-trichloropropane reached 99%,98%,82%and 80%.On one hand,calci-um oxide catalyzes persulfate to generate sulfate radicals and hydroxyl radicals to oxidize heavy metals and degrade organic substances.On the other hand,mercury and arsenic are passivated through physical seal-ing and adsorption,complexation and precipitation.The study lays a foundation to the practical application of heavy metal-organic compound contaminated soil remediation technology.
