[Method] The soil incubation experiment was conducted to study the effect of red mud on the pH values and electrical conductivity (EC), and the remediation efficiency of red mud on lead (Pb), zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) in heavy metal contaminated soil. [Result] Red mud addition reduced the content of exchangeable Pb, Zn and Cd in the soil significantly. Compared with the control, when incubated for 30, 60 and 90 d with the red mud dosage of 4% (W/W), the exchangeable Pb content was decreased by 39.25%, 41.38% and 50.19%; exchangeable Zn content was decreased by 49.26%, 57.32% and 47.16%; and exchangeable Cd content was decreased by 19.53%, 24.06% and 25.70%, respectively. The application of red mud had significant impact on the share of Pb, Zn and Cd contents in five forms, and different amounts of red mud application all reduced the proportion of exchangeable Pb, Zn and Cd to the total Pb, Zn and Cd. In addition, the proportion of exchangeable Pb, Zn and Cd to total Pb, Zn and Cd decreased with the increasing amount of red mud addition. [Conclusion] The study provided references for reasonable application of red mud and reduction of heavy metal pollution in paddy soil.展开更多

The effects of temperature, leaching time, Na2EDTA concentration and initial NaOH concentration on the leaching rates of lead and zinc were studied. The following optimized leaching conditions were obtained: liquid-to-solid ratio 5:1 mL/g, stirring speed 650 r/min, Na2EDTA concentration 0.12 mol/L, initial NaOH concentration 0.5 mol/L, leaching temperature 70 ℃, leaching time 120 min. Under the optimized conditions, the average leaching rates of lead, zinc, fluoride and chloride are 89.92%, 0.94%, 62.84% and 90.02%, respectively. The filtrate was used to electrowin lead powders. The average current efficiency of electrowinning is about 93% and lead content is higher than 98% under the conditions of temperature of 60 ℃, current density of 200 A/m2, H3PO4 concentration of 1.5 g/L, and lead ion concentration of above 5 g/L.

All the three metals were applied, separately,at five different levels that were: Cd at 5, 15, 30, 60 and 100 μg g-1; Pb at 100, 200, 300, 450 and 600 μg g-1 and Zn at 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 μg g-1 soil. In comparison to uncontaminated soil, the microbial biomass carbon and biomass nitrogen decreased sharply in soils contaminated with Cd, Ph and Zn. A more considerable increase in the microbial biomass C: N ratio was observed in the metal contaminated soils than the non-treated control. Among the tested metals, Cd displayed the greatest biocidal effect followed by Zn and Pb, showing their relative toxicity in the order of Cd > Zn > Pb.展开更多

Samples of the two ecotypes and thecorresponding soils from fields of a copper mining area and a Pb-Zn mining area ofZhejiang Province,China, were analyzed to investigate Cu or Zn tolerance of these two ecotypes. Effects of nine Culevels (0, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160, 240 and 320 mg Cu L^(-1) as CuSO_4 centre dot 5H_O) on growth anduptake, translocation and accumulation of Cu in these two ecotypes were examined in a solutionculture experiment. The experimental results showed that dry weights (DW) of shoots and roots weredepressed, and growth of E. splendens was less depressed than that of E. argyi when treated with>= 5mg Cu L^(-1). Concentrations of Cu in shoots of E. splendens and E. argyi exceeded 1000 mg kg^(-1)DW at >= 40 mg Cu L^(-1). The maximum Cu accumulated in the shoots of Cu-treated E. splendens and E.argyi reached 101 and 142 mu g plant^(-1). Furthermore, analysis of plant samples from the fieldsshowed that these two ecotypes can tolerant excess heavy metals and produced high dry matter, and E.splendens can accumulate 11.7 mg Cu plant^(-1) grown on the Cu smelter. Therefore, E. splendens andE.argyi could be good plants for phytoremediation.展开更多

A la...The indirect influence of heavy metal contamination of soil on nutrient availability, an important aspect of soil quality, may need to be taken into consideration when determining overall effects of heavy metals. A laboratory experiment was performed to study the effects of combined pollution of Cu, Ph, Zn and Cd on soil K status as indicated by chemical fractions, adsorption-desorption and quantity/intensity (Q/I) relationship of K in a Typic Udic Ferrisol (generally called red soil), by employing uniform design and single factor design. Compared to the control, content of exchangeable K was decreased, but that of soluble K increased in the samples contaminated with heavy metals. Due to heavy metal pollution, potassium adsorption was reduced by 5% to 22%, whereas the desorption percentage of adsorbed K increased by 2% to 32%. The Q/I curves shifted downward, potassium buffering capacity (PBCK) decreased, and equilibrium activity ratio values (ARoK) increased with increasing heavy metal pollution. These influences followed the sequences of Ph>Cu>Zn and combined pollution>single one. Displacement of K from canon exchange sites and decrease in soil CEC due to heavy metals should be responsible for the changes of soil K behaviours. The findings suggest that heavy metal pollution of soil might aggravate the degradation of soil K fertility by decreasing K adsorption and buffering capacity and increasing desorption.展开更多

Meanwhile correlation analysis and multiple stepwise regressions were used to define relationships between soil properties and metal fractions and the chief factors influencing the fractionation of heavy metals in the soils. The results showed that Pb, Ni and Cu were mainly associated with the residual and organic forms; most of Cd was concentrated in the residual and exchangeable fractions. Zn in residual and carbonate fraction was the highest. The activities of the heavy metals probably declined in the following order: Cd, Zn, Pb, Cu and Ni. The chemical fractions of heavy metals in different domains in Changchun City were of significantly spatial heterogeneity. Soil properties had different influences on the chemical fractions of heavy metals to some extent and the main factors influencing Cd, Zn, Pb, Cu and Ni fractionation and transformation were apparently different.展开更多

Treatments included the application of lead at six different levels i.e., 0 (background), 100, 200, 300, 450 and 600 μg g -1 soil along with each of the four levels of zinc (0, 50, 150 or 250 μg g -1 soil). Application of lead or zinc alone to soil significantly ( P <0.001) affected the soil microbial biomass. The microbial biomass carbon (C mic ), biomass nitrogen (N mic ) and biomass phosphorus (P mic ) decreased sharply in soils contaminated with lead or zinc. Combined application of lead and zinc resulted in a greater biocidal effect on soil microbial biomass, which was significantly higher ( P <0.001) than that when either lead or zinc was applied alone. Consistent increase in the biomass C:N and decline in the biomass C:P ratios were also observed with the increased metal (Pb and Zn) toxicity in the soil.展开更多

The results suggest that the known Pb Zn deposits, such as Wulagen, are thermal brine genesis, which is supported by the features of tectonic setting, magma and regional metamorphism, and the characteristics of trace element distribution in strata and redistribution in the ore forming process, the REE patterns and their main parameters of main type ores, the composition features and the source indicators of Pb, S isotopes. Ore forming conditions of superlarge Pb Zn deposits studies show that there exists tectonic and sources setting of Jinding type superlarge Pb Zn deposits in this area. Five Pb Zn ore belts and central uplift belts discovered lately have not only confirmed that the genesis of Wulagen Pb Zn deposits is thermal genesis, but also further proved that there exists tectonic and source setting of Jinding type superlarge Pb Zn deposit in the study area. Mineral deposit model was described and prospecting potentiality of superlarge Pb Zn deposit and their significance were discussed.展开更多

The mineral assemblage zoning is consistent for both horizontal and vertical zoning, from the base(center) of the ore body to the top(outermost), the mineral zones are as follows. I-1: coarse-grained pyrite and a little puce sphalerite;I-2: brown sphalerite, galena, and ferro-dolomite;I-3: galena, sandy beige and pale yellow sphalerite, and calcite;and I-4: fine-grained pyrite, dolomite, and calcite. Among them, sphalerite is the landmark mineral of different zoning. From I-1 to I-3, the color of sphalerite changes from dark to light, its crystalline size changes from coarse to fine, and its structure changes from disseminated to veinlet. This mineral zoning is seen not only on a microscopic scale, but is also clear on a mesoscopic and macroscopic scale. It is caused by the order of the sphalerite and galena precipitation. We studied the metallic minerals and fluid inclusions using a thermodynamic phase diagram method, such as lgfO2–lgfS2, pH–lgfO2, pH–lg[Pb^2+] and pH–lg[HS^-], discussed the constraints on the order of the sphalerite and galena precipitation in the migration and precipitation process of lead and zinc under different pH values, oxygen fugacity, sulfur fugacity, and ionic activity. We also explain the formation mechanism and propose that the main controlling factor of the order of the sphalerite and galena precipitation is sulfur fugacity.展开更多

Fourteen soil samples withvarying artificial contamination of Cu, Pb, Zn and Cd were prepared.Heavy metal pollution led to increases in retention capacity andmaximum buffering capacity (MBC) of soil P. The rate of P retentionwas also increased and the time to reach equilibrium was advanced byheavy metals addition.
文摘A laboratory incubation experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of lead and zinc applied alone or in various combinations on the size of microbial biomass in a red soil. Treatments included the application of lead at six different levels i.e., 0 (background), 100, 200, 300, 450 and 600 μg g -1 soil along with each of the four levels of zinc (0, 50, 150 or 250 μg g -1 soil). Application of lead or zinc alone to soil significantly ( P <0.001) affected the soil microbial biomass. The microbial biomass carbon (C mic ), biomass nitrogen (N mic ) and biomass phosphorus (P mic ) decreased sharply in soils contaminated with lead or zinc. Combined application of lead and zinc resulted in a greater biocidal effect on soil microbial biomass, which was significantly higher ( P <0.001) than that when either lead or zinc was applied alone. Consistent increase in the biomass C:N and decline in the biomass C:P ratios were also observed with the increased metal (Pb and Zn) toxicity in the soil.
文摘The recovery of zinc and lead from Yahyali non-sulphide flotation tailing using sulfuric acid followed by sodium hydroxide leaching in the presence of potassium sodium tartrate was experimentally investigated.In the acidic leaching stage,the effects of pH,solid-to-liquid ratio and temperature on the dissolution of zinc from the tailing were explored.82.3%Zn dissolution was achieved at a pH of 2,a temperature of 40°C,a solid-to-liquid ratio of 20%and a leaching time of 2 h,whereas the iron and lead dissolutions were determined to be less than 0.5%.The sulfuric acid consumption was found to be 110.6 kg/t(dry tailing).The leaching temperature had no beneficial effect on the dissolution of zinc from the tailing.The acidic leach solution was subjected to an electrowinning test.The cathode product consisted of 99.8%Zn and 0.15%Fe.In the alkaline leaching stage,the Pb dissolution increased slightly in the presence of potassium sodium tartrate.More than 60%of Pb was taken into the leach solution when the leaching temperature increased from 40 to 80°C.The final leach residue was analyzed by XRD and XRF.The XRD results indicated that the major peaks originated from the goethite and quartz while minor peaks stem from smithsonite and cerussite.The XRF analysis demonstrated that the residue contained 70.3%iron oxide.Based on the sequential leaching experiments,the zinc and lead were excellently depleted from the flotation tailing,leaving a considerable amount of iron in the final residue.

文摘The paper focuses on geological and geochemical evidence of thermal brine genesis of Pb Zn deposits in Wuqia district, Xinjiang. The results suggest that the known Pb Zn deposits, such as Wulagen, are thermal brine genesis, which is supported by the features of tectonic setting, magma and regional metamorphism, and the characteristics of trace element distribution in strata and redistribution in the ore forming process, the REE patterns and their main parameters of main type ores, the composition features and the source indicators of Pb, S isotopes. Ore forming conditions of superlarge Pb Zn deposits studies show that there exists tectonic and sources setting of Jinding type superlarge Pb Zn deposits in this area. Five Pb Zn ore belts and central uplift belts discovered lately have not only confirmed that the genesis of Wulagen Pb Zn deposits is thermal genesis, but also further proved that there exists tectonic and source setting of Jinding type superlarge Pb Zn deposit in the study area. Mineral deposit model was described and prospecting potentiality of superlarge Pb Zn deposit and their significance were discussed.

文摘Most of the lead and zinc deposits in Southwest China, are characterized by mineral zoning, which is especially true for the Huize and Zhaotong deposits. The mineral assemblage zoning is consistent for both horizontal and vertical zoning, from the base(center) of the ore body to the top(outermost), the mineral zones are as follows. I-1: coarse-grained pyrite and a little puce sphalerite;I-2: brown sphalerite, galena, and ferro-dolomite;I-3: galena, sandy beige and pale yellow sphalerite, and calcite;and I-4: fine-grained pyrite, dolomite, and calcite. Among them, sphalerite is the landmark mineral of different zoning. From I-1 to I-3, the color of sphalerite changes from dark to light, its crystalline size changes from coarse to fine, and its structure changes from disseminated to veinlet. This mineral zoning is seen not only on a microscopic scale, but is also clear on a mesoscopic and macroscopic scale. It is caused by the order of the sphalerite and galena precipitation. We studied the metallic minerals and fluid inclusions using a thermodynamic phase diagram method, such as lgfO2–lgfS2, pH–lgfO2, pH–lg[Pb^2+] and pH–lg[HS^-], discussed the constraints on the order of the sphalerite and galena precipitation in the migration and precipitation process of lead and zinc under different pH values, oxygen fugacity, sulfur fugacity, and ionic activity. We also explain the formation mechanism and propose that the main controlling factor of the order of the sphalerite and galena precipitation is sulfur fugacity.

文摘The depression mechanism of zinc sulfate(ZnSO4)and sodium dimethyl dithiocarbamate(DMDC)as the combined depressant on sphalerite was investigated by micro-flotation experiments,ion complexing tests,contact angle tests and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)analysis.The micro-flotation tests revealed that ZnSO4+DMDC had a better selective depression effect on sphalerite than using single ZnSO4 or DMDC.Ion complexing tests confirmed that DMDC had a strong complexing capacity with lead ions or hydroxy complexes.Contact angle tests illustrated that ZnSO4+DMDC makes the sphalerite surface more hydrophilic than ZnSO4 or DMDC.XPS analysis indicated that the combined depressant could prevent collector adsorbing on the Pb-activated sphalerite surface by a competitive adsorption method,while the combined depressant and collector were co-adsorbed on galena surface.
