水泥固化含砷尾矿砂的块体性能及固砷机制研究

Study on the bulk properties and arsenic immobilization mechanism of cement-solidified arsenic-containing tailings sand

  • 摘要: 为解决含砷尾矿砂堆放引发的砷浸出污染问题,采用水泥固化技术,结合静态毒性浸出评估与X射线衍射、X射线光电子能谱、扫描电子显微镜微观表征,开展含砷尾矿砂无害化处理及固砷机理研究。以含砷尾矿砂、黄砂、水泥、粉煤灰为原料制备固化试块,探究原料参数对固化体性能的影响。结果表明:浸出液pH对砷释放影响显著,中性环境下固化体稳定性最优;模拟尾矿库弱酸性环境(pH=3)中,砷浸出浓度低至0.008~0.012 mg/L,远低于GB 5085.3—2007《危险废物鉴别标准 浸出毒性鉴别》限值(5 mg/L)。固化试块通过物理包裹、化学沉淀与晶格嵌入三重协同机制长效固砷,主要成分为二氧化硅、砷酸钙及其水合物。当尾矿砂替代黄砂率为60%时,28 d抗压强度达22.9 MPa,吸水率、收缩率等指标达标,3次干湿循环后强度保留率为96.42%,可满足尾矿库垫层需求。该技术实现“以废治废”,兼具环境与经济效益,为含砷尾矿砂规模化处置提供技术支撑。

     

    Abstract: To address arsenic leaching pollution caused by the stacking of arsenic-containing tailings sand, this study employed cement solidification technology, combined with static toxicity leaching assessment and microscopic characterization techniques (XPS, XRD, SEM), to investigate the harmless treatment of arsenic-containing tailings sand and its arsenic immobilization mechanism. Solidified specimens were prepared using arsenic-containing tailings sand, yellow sand, cement, and fly ash as raw materials, and the influence of raw material parameters on the properties of solidified specimens was explored. The results indicated that the pH of leachate significantly affected arsenic release, and the solidified specimens exhibited the optimal stability in a neutral environment. In the weakly acidic environment (pH=3) simulating tailings pond wastewater, the arsenic leaching concentration was as low as 0.008-0.012 mg/L, which was far below the national standard limit (5 mg/L) specified in Identification Standards for Hazardous Wastes-Identification for Extraction Toxicity (GB 5085.3-2007). The solidified specimens achieved long-term arsenic immobilization through a triple synergistic mechanism involving physical encapsulation, chemical precipitation, and lattice embedding, with silica, calcium arsenate, and their hydrates as the main components. When the replacement rate of tailings sand for yellow sand was 60%, the 28-day compressive strength reached 22.9 MPa; indicators such as water absorption rate and shrinkage rate met the requirements, and the strength retention rate was 96.42% after 3 wet-dry cycles, which can satisfy the demand for tailings pond cushions. This technology realizes "treating waste with waste", boasts both environmental and economic benefits, and provides technical support for the large-scale disposal of arsenic-containing tailings sand.
