Abstract
With the development of mining economy and human society, heavy metal pollution incidents have gradually increased while a large amount of mine solid waste has been produced.Red mud (RM) and blast furnace slag (BFS) are common solid wastes in mines with excellent heavy metal adsorption properties. Optimization of geopolymer solidification/stabilization(S/S) materials based on these waste materials is a good way to reduce solid waste and cure heavy metal contaminated soil, and has outstanding environmental protection significance.In this study, RM and BFS were used as geopolymer raw materials, and sodium hydroxide was used as alkali activator to prepare lead nitrate contaminated soil with Pb content of 0.5%. Laboratory tests were conducted to explore the effects of alkali-solid ratio, BFS content on the mechanical strength, toxic leaching characteristics and pH of geopolymer S/S lead contaminated soil. The optimal ratio of geopolymer is obtained. The results show that the S/S soil cured with RM and BFS geopolymer has good mechanical properties and heavy metal adsorption properties, and it has certain scientific research value and utilization prospect for the remediation of Pb contaminated soil.
