Enhanced Electro-Remediation of Cr(VI) Contamination by Magnetite/Pyrrhotite Composite Mineral and Analysis of Cr-Containing Products
Electrokinetic remediation is a promising method for Cr(VI) treatment. Electrokinetic remediation operates based on a low-intensity electric field across the soil, which mobilizes contaminants towards the electrodes. Some previous studies tried to improve the mobility and availability of contaminants for extraction. However, the technology faces some challenges such as interference from non-target contaminants. It is thus necessary to develop the electrokinetic remediation with other technologies like chemical agents and permeable reactive barriers. Some minerals can be used to remediate Cr(VI) due to their properties like surface effect and redox effect. The existing researches on minerals for Cr(VI) remediation mainly focus on zero-valent iron (ZVI) materials.ZVI usually requires loading materials to minimize agglomeration. In this paper, a magnetite/pyrrhotite composite material (i.e.,pyrrhotite naturally dispersed in magnetite) was introduced to the electrokinetic remediation systems, mitigating shortage of electron donors in Cr(VI) contaminants and stabilizing Cr in the form of Cr-containing minerals. The impacts of mineral filling position and potential gradient on the Cr(VI) remediation performance were investigated, and the Cr-containing products were analyzed.
