چکیده
اصلاح الکتروکینتیک گزینه­ ای موثر برای آلودگی­زدایی از خاک­ها می­باشد؛ اگرچه راندمان کار تابع عوامل متعددی است. در پژوهش حاضر، توانایی کی­ لیت کننده EDTA و جریان پالس در بهبود این روش، برای پاکسازی خاک­های ریزدانه حاوی ترکیب فلزات سنگین بررسی شد. بدین منظور، ابتدا نمونه مورد مطالعه با غلظت 5000 (میلیگرم/کیلوگرم) روی و سرب آلوده و سپس با گرادیان ولتاژ 2 ولت بر سانتیمتر (به صورت جریان پیوسته و پالس) در بازه ­های 7، 14 و 28 روز، تحت آزمایش الکتروکینتیک قرار گرفت. در این فرآیند، غلظت­های مختلف EDTA به مخازن آند و کاتد (بطور مجزا و همزمان) نیز اضافه شد. نتایج بدست آمده نشان داد در شرایط جریان پیوسته و فاقد کی­لیت­ساز (روش متداول الکتروکینتیک)، میزان رفع آلودگی به ویژه سرب اندک بوده که علت آن با توجه به روند تغییرات ریزساختار نمونه و هدایت الکتریکی آن در حد فاصل آند تا کاتد، کاهش دانسیته جریان ناشی از رسوب آلاینده در ماتریکس خاک ارزیابی گردید. در این حالت، افزایش زمان آزمایش (علی­رغم مصرف بیشتر انرژی) عمدتاً سبب تغییر موقعیت آلودگی در محیط پیرامون آند شده و تاثیر محدودی (حدود 20%) بر راندمان کل نشان داد. مشخص شد افزدون EDTA صرفاً به صورت محلول کاتولیت حتی با غلظت معادل آلودگی خاک، نیز تاثیری اندکی بر بهبود پاسخ الکتروکینتیک دارد. از طرفی، حضور کی­لیت کننده در هر دو مخزن دستگاه خصوصاً با اعمال جریان پالسی، باعث تسریع فرآیند پاکسازی می­شود. با استناد به مجموع نتایج آزمایش­های درشت­ساختاری، تصاویر SEM و آنالیزهای XRD، علت این ارتقاء رفتار به دو تغییر عمده در اندرکنش خاک-آلاینده نسبت داده شد. نخست آنکه، روش اخیر با توسعه نفوذ جبهه اسیدی به سمت کاتد و محدود کردن قابلیت پلاریزاسیون ذرات رس، سبب آرایش فولکوله و کاهش قابلیت نگهداشت آلودکی در خاک می­شود. همچنین این سیستم از طریق فرآیندهای بازانحلال، تشکیل کمپلکس­های پایدار و اختلال در ایجاد اولیه رسوب، سهم فازهای نامحلول را به شدت کم می­نماید. هم­افزایی این تغییرات نقش موثری در شتاب­دهی ساز و کارهای الکتروکینتیک داشته؛ بنحویکه در مقایسه با مدل متداول، ضمن کاهش 25 درصدی مصرف انرژی می­تواند تا 2/6 برابر راندمان استخراج آلودگی را افزایش دهد.

چکیده English

Electrokinetic (EK) remediation is a very effective option for the soil decontamination; however, its efficiency depends on several factors. In the present study, the ability of Ethylene-diaminete-traacetic-acid (EDTA) and pulse current to improve this method for treating fine-grained soils containing heavy metals (HMs) was investigated. In so doing, first, the studied sample (mainly kaolinite) was mixed with a concentration of 5000 mg/kg zinc (Zn) and lead (Pb) and then subjected to an electrokinetic test with voltage gradient of 2 V(DC)/cm2 (in the form of continuous current and pulse) under 7, 14 and 28 days. The pulse current used was ON for 30 minutes and OFF for 10 minutes. In this process, different concentrations of EDTA (including a concentration of 0.1 M and 0.2 M) were also added to the anode and cathode reservoirs, separately and simultaneously. The obtained results showed that in the conditions of continuous current and without EDTA addtion (the common EK method), the EK removal efficiency, especially for lead, was not noticeable. According to the changes in the microstructure of soil sample and its electrical conductivity (EC) between the anode and the cathode electrodes, the reason can be ascribed to the decrease in current density due to precipitation of pollutants in the soil matrix and decresing the HMs transportation in the cathode side, as clearly confirmed by the XRD patterns and EC tests. In this case, increasing the test time from 7 to 28 days (despite more energy consumption) mainly caused the change of the pollution position in the around of anode side and the HMs removal in the cathode side is not enhanced, indicating that there is a limited effect (about 20%) on the total efficiency of the EK tests. It was found that the addition of EDTA only in the form of catholyte solution, even with the equivalent concentration of soil pollution, has a low effect on improving the electrokinetic response. On the other hand, the presence of the chelating agent in both reservoirs of the EK device, especially by applying the pulse current (with a frequency equal to 36 cycles/day) accelerates the treating process of EK remediation. In fact, as the results of macro-structural tests, scanning electron microscope (SEM) images and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses indicated, such improvement can be attributed to two major changes in soil-pollutant interaction. First of all, the presented EK method, by developing the penetration of the acid front towards the cathode side and limiting the polarization ability of clay particles, causes the formation of flocculation and reduces the soil ability to keep pollutants. Also, this system greatly reduces the contribution of insoluble phases through the processes of redissolution and formation of the stable complexes as well as generates a disturbance in the initial formation of metal precipitation due to the reduction in the hydrolysis reaction of the cathode part. Synergy of these changes has an prominent role in accelerating the EK mechanisms; so that compared to the conventional EK model, while reducing energy consumption by 25%, it can also increase the removal efficiency by nearly 2.6 times.
