Abstract
This work discussed the feasibility and stability of utilizing C–S–H phosphorus recovered products, HAP/C–S–H, to remove Zn(Ⅱ) from aqueous solution and in-situ immobilize Zn(Ⅱ) in contaminated soil. The removal mechanisms of Zn(Ⅱ) by HAP/C–S–H were relatively complex, combining multiple reactions including electrostatic attraction, ion exchange, surface complexation and (co-)precipitation. The removal rate of Zn(Ⅱ) by HAP/C–S–H raised with the increase of pH value, reaching 99.47% at pH of 8 in aqueous solution. The ion strength of background solution negatively affected the adsorption efficiency. The pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir model were more suitable to fit the Zn(Ⅱ) adsorption experimental data for the adsorbent. The adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous naturally according to thermodynamic parameter. The maximum adsorption capacity of HAP/C–S–H can reach 114.0 mg/g at 308 K. After 28 days of immobilization, the release of Zn(Ⅱ) in soil with HAP/C–S–H remarkably decreased to 0.6 mg/L, compared with control group (2.9 mg/L). BCR sequential extraction results indicated that HAP/C–S–H could convert acid-soluble Zn(Ⅱ) into reducible and residual Zn(Ⅱ), reducing the bioavailability and ecotoxicity of Zn(Ⅱ) in contaminated soil. pH-dependent leaching tests revealed that the soil with HAP/C–S–H had stronger resistance to acid impact.
