GOALI: Engineered Sequestration and Bioavailability Reduction of Metals in Soils by Addition of Iron Oxides Recovered from Coal Mine Drainage Sites

0402966 Dzombak拟议的工作将评估重金属污染土壤的潜在补救技术的有效性和经济可行性。这项技术使用的是从废弃的煤矿中回收的氧化铁.这项工作将与两个工业伙伴合作进行，每个伙伴都具有氧化铁回收和场地补救方面的专门知识。拟议的补救战略是创新的，特别有吸引力，因为它利用了在其他污染场地（即酸性矿山排水场地）的补救/复垦过程中产生的物质。该研究将解决有关氧化铁纯度，金属固定能力，以及在何种程度上固定的金属可提取使用既定的方法的问题。工程应用问题也将在项目的后期阶段进行探讨。

0402966 Dzombak The proposed work would evaluate the efficacy and economic viability of a potential remediation technology for soils contaminated with heavy metals. This technology employs iron oxides recovered from abandoned coal - mining sites. The work would be carried out collaboratively with two industrial partners, each having expertise in iron oxide recovery and site remediation. The proposed remediation strategy is innovative and particularly appealing because it makes use of a substance produced during remediation/reclamation of other polluted sites (ie acid mine drainage sites). The study will address issues relating to iron oxide purity, metal immobilization capacity, and the extent to which immobilized metals are extractable using established methods. Engineering application issues will also be explored in the later stages of the project.
