Remediation of Cadmium Contamination in Soil by Washing

Article Preview

Abstract:

Soil washing is a possible remediation technique for contaminant extracting from the soil. Thiacalix[4]arenetetrasulfonate has become an alternative to metal extractants due to its high selectivity and high stability. Batch soil-washing experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of pH on extraction efficiency of Cd from soil by the thiacalix[4]arenete-trasulfonate solution. Results showed that more than 82 percent of cadmium was extracted by the thiacalix[4]arenetetra- sulfonate solution from the artificially contaminated soil with the concentration of 562 mg/kg cadmium at the initial pH value of 11. Thiacalix[4]arenetetrasulfonate could be an attractive alternative in washing remediation of soil contaminated by Cd.
