Abstract

Electrolytic manganese residue (EMR) contains high concentrations of NH4+ and heavy metals, such as Mn2+, Zn2+, Cu2+, Pb2+, Ni2+ and Co2+, while carbide slag (CS) contains high amount of OH− and CO32−, both posing a serious threat to the ecosystem. In this study, EMR and CS synergistic stabilization/solidification (S/S) was discussed science CS could stabilize or solidify EMR and simultaneously reduce its corrosive. The results showed that after the synergistic S/S for 24 h when liquid-solid ratio was 17.5% and CS dosage was 7%, Mn2+ and NH4+ leaching concentrations of the S/S EMR were below the detection limits (0.02 mg/L and 0.10 mg/L) with a pH value of 8.8, meeting the requirements of the Chinese integrated wastewater discharge standard (GB 8978–1996). Mn2+ was stabilized as MnFe2O4, Mn2SiO4, CaMnSi2O6, and NH4+ escaped as NH3. Zn2+, Cu2+, Pb2+, Ni2+ and Co2+ in EMR can also be stabilized/solidified because of the react with OH− and CO32− in CS. Chemical cost was only $ 0.54 for per ton of EMR synergistic harmless treatment with CS. This study provided a new idea for EMR cost-effective and environment-friendly harmless treatment.
