Abstract

Environmental Hazard Assessment of Jarosite Waste Using Batch Leaching Tests

Highlights

  • IntroductionThere are different ways to measure pollutants when evaluating the environmental threat from a solid material of different industrial processes

  • Industrial processes inevitably impact the environment on varying scales

  • The leaching potential of the elements present in the jarosite waste samples was determined using the batch leaching test in deionized water according to HRN EN 12457-211, as well as the leaching test in synthetic acid rain according to the modification of Synthetic Precipitation Leaching Procedure (SPLP) Method 1312:19946

Summary

Introduction

There are different ways to measure pollutants when evaluating the environmental threat from a solid material of different industrial processes. Detailed characterization and leaching tests are required to assess the environmental stability of waste before any treatment possibility. Standard leaching tests are used to estimate the potential mobility of trace and major elements from the deposited waste. These tests are used to assess the remediation options of contaminated sites, their range of efficiency and source of environmental risk characterization[1]. Leaching is a method that is used to remove soluble components from a solid matrix. In order to protect human health and groundwater quality from contamination by metals, over 100 leaching methods have been developed over the last few decades to
