Abstract

It studied the geological properties and contamination characteristics of soil from contaminated sites of typical chromate plants in western plateau of China. The results indicated that in the shallow part of 0-4m, it was mainly loess-like soil and in the depth of 4-18m, it was mainly gravels and pebbles. The soil had better permeability and ex-situ washing treatment is recommended. The soil was severely contaminated and the concentration of chrome (Ⅵ) was as high as 16,000mg/kg. Based on the analysis, it developed a two-stage demonstration project of countercurrent ex-situ washing plus chemical stabilization with daily capacity of 20m3 soil and a demonstration project of chemical reduction and precipitation plus advanced treatment of filter bed with daily capacity of 200m3 wastewater. After treatment, the concentration of chrome (Ⅵ) in soil was less than 100mg/kg and that in water was reduced to below 0.05mg/L from 1,000mg/L, which can meet the requirements of third-grade groundwater quality standard.
