硫代硫酸钠与黄腐酸联用对电动修复砷污染稻田土壤的影响

Effects of combined use of sodium thiosulfate and fulvic acid on electrokinetic remediation of arsenic-contaminated paddy soil

  • 摘要: 电动修复(EKR)技术处理含砷(As)酸性矿山废水污染土壤时,其修复效果受抑于铁氧化物对As的强吸附作用。为克服该制约因素,向土壤中添加硫代硫酸钠和黄腐酸2种试剂,以促进As迁移并提升修复效果。结果表明:添加硫代硫酸钠可提高土壤含水率、电导率和电渗流速,强化土壤还原环境,从而促进铁氧化物还原溶解和As活化;与黄腐酸联合使用可有效抑制次生铁矿物的形成,减弱As的二次吸附,进一步提高As去除率。该联用策略可在较长时间内维持As的活性,并在修复后期(8~14 d)显著提高电能利用效率,后期去除单位质量As(以去除率提升1%计)所需的能耗仅为前期(1~7 d)的36.2%左右。经14 d的EKR处理后,硫代硫酸钠与黄腐酸联用组的As去除率由未添加试剂组的5.51%增至35.32%。As的去除主要归因于铁氧化物还原和残渣态As的转化。此外,单独添加硫代硫酸钠会降低EKR对土壤中共存重金属Pb、Sb和Cu的去除率;但2种试剂联用可同时增强对Pb和Cu的修复效果。研究结果证实,硫代硫酸钠与黄腐酸的联合强化策略在EKR技术治理As污染土壤中展现出良好的应用潜力。该策略不仅为重金属复合污染土壤的协同治理提供了新的思路,也为EKR技术的进一步优化与工程应用提供了参考依据。

     

    Abstract: When electrokinetic remediation (EKR) is applied to treat arsenic (As)-contaminated soil from acid mine drainage, its remediation efficiency is constrained by the strong adsorption of As by iron oxides. To overcome this limitation, this study added two reagents, sodium thiosulfate and fulvic acid (FA), to the soil to promote As migration and enhance remediation performance. The results showed that adding sodium thiosulfate increased soil moisture content, electrical conductivity, and electroosmotic flow rate, and strengthened the soil reducing environment, thereby facilitating the reductive dissolution of iron oxides and the activation of As. The combined use of sodium thiosulfate and fulvic acid effectively inhibited the formation of secondary iron minerals, weakened the re-adsorption of As, and further improved As removal efficiency. This combined strategy could maintain As mobility over a long period and significantly enhance electrical energy utilization efficiency in the later stage of remediation (8-14 days), and the energy consumption per unit mass of As removed (corresponding to a 1% increase in removal rate) in the later stage was only about 36.2% of that in the early stage (1-7 days). After 14 days of EKR treatment, the As removal rate in the combined group of sodium thiosulfate and fulvic acid increased from 5.51% (in the reagent-free group) to 35.32%. The As removal in this study was mainly attributed to the reduction of iron oxides and the transformation of residual As. In addition, the sole addition of sodium thiosulfate reduced the removal rates of coexisting heavy metals (Pb, Sb, and Cu) in the soil by EKR; however, the combined use of the two reagents could simultaneously enhance the remediation efficiency for Pb and Cu. The findings confirm that the combined enhancement strategy of sodium thiosulfate and fulvic acid exhibits considerable application potential in the remediation of As-contaminated soil using EKR. This strategy not only provides new insights into the synergistic remediation of heavy metal complex-contaminated soil but also offers reference for further optimization and engineering application of EKR technology.
