Title: | Long-term application of stabilization/solidification technique on highlycontaminated sediments with environment risk assessment | Authors: | Rađenović Dunja Kerkez Djurdja Tomašević Pilipović Dragana Dubovina Miloš Grba Nenad Krčmar Dejan Dalmacija Božo |
Issue Date: | 2019 | Journal: | Science of the Total Environment | Abstract: | © 2019 After dredging of contaminated sediment, additional remediation technique is required before its final disposal. For this purpose, this research was based on the long-term stabilization/solidification (S/S)process of highly contaminated sediment (dominantly by heavy metals)from a European environmental hot spot, the Great Bačka Canal. Due to optimisation of remediation techniques, this sediment is treated with selected immobilization agents: kaolinite, quicklime and Portland cement. The use of pseudo-total metal content (selected priority substances: Cr, Ni, Cu, Cd, Zn, Pb and As)in untreated sediment, determined that sediment urgently requires remediation. Short-term (after 7 and 28 days)and long-term (after 7 years)monitoring were done in order to estimate the concentrations of metals and effect on biota from S/S mixtures during this processes. The environmental risk assessment encompassed the application of several appropriate analytical methods: the pseudo-total metal content, the German standard leaching test - DIN 3841-4 S4 and Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure - TCLP test leaching tests and sequential extraction procedure (BCR)on S/S mixtures, testing the aging process and toxicity effects. After simulating real environmental conditions using all tests in all three mixtures, metals do not exceed the prescribed limit values and as such S/S mixtures are classified as non-hazardous waste. Sequential extraction procedure showed that the highest percentage of metals are in the residual phase, bound to silicates and crystalline structure. After 7 years of S/S mixture aging, kaolinite showed the highest binding capacity that was reflected in the content of metals in the residual phase (34.8% of Ni to 77.6% of Cr). DIN and TCLP leaching tests confirmed that the exchangeable phase has a minor effect on the environment. Accordingly, this remediation technology could be well applied for final disposal of this and similar extremely contaminated sediment dominantly with inorganic pollutants. | URI: | https://open.uns.ac.rs/handle/123456789/19640 | ISSN: | 0048-9697 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.05.351 |
