Evaluation of contaminated groundwater cleanup objectives

Uranium tailings are generated as solid and liquid wastes in uranium mining/milling operations. Since most of the uranium deposits in the world have low grades, millions of tonnes of such wastes are produced annually. Often, the uranium tailings are locally disposed of, using sites with suitable conditions to construct tailings basins. The main concern during the operation of a disposal site is the presence of radium in the liquid phase which overflows from dewatered tailings. This barium is precipitated by adding proper chemical reagent. The potential environmental hazards of uranium tailings arise when the disposal site is abandoned after the decommissioning of the uranium mill. Huge amounts of solid waste as small particles of depleted ore remain in place. Top soils are usually for soil stabilization and for controlling radon emissions. Hence water infiltration through uranium tailings presents a potential hazard to underground aquifers. Water plays a dual role by triggering a sequence of reactions and by carrying contaminants away from the wastes sites. The situation is more serious in a country like Canada, where the precipitation rate is higher than the evaporation rate and the water table is about one metre beneath the ground surface. For permanent disposal of uranium tailings, either the hazardous constituents of these wastes have to be isolated from the percolating water, or the subsoils must have acceptable sealing and sorptive characteristics. The first approach is effected by blending proper solidifying reagents with the tailings in order to totally block them from the leaching effects of aggressive pore water. Solid waste treatment may prove costly in additive usage and the blending operation. The leaching of toxic constituents, however, becomes effective so long as the tailings are in a loose form. This is because of the acid-generating properties of the pyrite, a substantial constituent (up to 8% wt) of the tailings. Two types of contaminants tend to leave the solid and migrate to the pore water. These are the heavy metals and the radioactive elements, both of which are hazardous for their toxicity and persistence. The sorptive and neutralizing capacities of the underlying soils have to be carefully examined and measures have to be taken to stop the progression of acidic interstitial water. This paper focuses on three aspects of crucial importance to the permanent disposal of uranium tailings. These are: leaching in uranium tailings, sorption on natural geological barriers, and radium immobilization.     

Effect of cultivation on chemical characteristics and respiratory activity of crusting soil from Mazowe (Zimbabwe)

Abstract

Clearing and cultivation in crusting soils from Mazowe (Zimbabwe) has lead to severe changes in most physico‐chemical characteristics related to the concentration and distribution patterns of plant nutrients and to the total amount of soil organic matter. Nevertheless, the concentration of the different humus fractions showed lower intensity changes, as did the mineralization rates of the organic matter. The most significant effects of cultivation on the soil chemical characteristics coincided with those considered to favor clay dispersion and crusting phenomena, including generalized desaturation of the exchange complex and losses of divalent ions with a potential bridging effect between soil particles. Concerning the soil organic matter, the humic acid tended to concentrate in the cultivated soils as a probable consequence of selective biodegradation of the other humic fractions. The composition and activity of soil humus suggest low‐performance organo‐mineral interactions: in these soils the active turnover of the plant wastes is not regulated by intense physico‐chemical interactions with the soil mineral fractions, or by physical encapsulation of organic particles. In consequence, the mineralization rates were relatively constant in the soils studied and unrelated to soil organic matter concentration. The results suggests that there is a possibility to revert the early degradation stages of these soils through a rational management of suitable amounts of crop wastes.

Bioremediation in Field Box Plots of a Soil Contaminated with Wood-Preservatives: A Comparison of Treatment Conditions using Toxicity Testing as a Monitoring Technique

A soil contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, petroleum hydrocarbons and chlorophenols was bioremediated in field box plots. Three different bioremediation treatments (tillage and irrigation alone (box plot 2) or in addition to amendment with nitrogen and phosphorus (box plots 3 and 4) and additional organic amendment composed ofagricultural crop residues (box plot 4)) were comparedusing chemical analysis for target contaminants andsix toxicity tests (seed germination, earthwormsurvival, SOS Chromotest, Toxi-Chromotest, solid-phaseMicrotox® andred blood cell (RBC) haemolysisassay). Degradation was enhanced, and toxicity wasgenerally the most reduced, in box plots 3 and 4. Although chemical analysis indicated that the twoamendment protocols were equally effective, soiltoxicity was generally the most reduced in box plot 4. The earthworm survival and seed germination assayswere the most reliable and relevant toxicity tests. Difficulties arising with the other tests includedinsensitivity to changes in soil contaminant levels,inconsistency and interference by soil particles andother soil constituents. Because of the lack ofagreement between toxicity tests, these resultssupport the use of a battery of toxicity tests inconjunction with chemical analysis, when assessing theefficacy of bioremediation.     

Ecotoxicological assessment of organic wastes using the soil collembolan Folsomia candida

The reproduction test with the collembolan Folsomia candida is used as a tool to evaluate the ecotoxicological potential of organic wastes currently applied to soil. Seven organic wastes (dewatered sewage sludges, thermally dried sewage sludges, composted sewage sludges, and a thermally dried pig slurry) were tested. These wastes had different origins, treatments, and pollutant burdens, and were selected as a representative sample of the wide variety of wastes currently generated. F. candida showed varied sensitivity depending on the waste, but also depending on the endpoint assessed. Reproduction was more sensitive than survival, although no correlations between reproduction and physico-chemical parameters and pollutant burden could be found. On the other hand, mortality was directly related to the lack of stability of wastes, probably reflecting the toxicity of end-products such as ammonium. Body length was not shown to be a sensitive endpoint for waste testing, as it was neither affected nor even stimulated by waste concentrations.Organic matter, pH, and electrical conductivity varied with waste concentration in soil-waste mixtures, although their effect on collembolan performance was expected to be low and part of the complex effect exerted by wastes when applied to real soils. Selection of the water content is the most problematic aspect in waste testing, as it may affect the performance of test organisms. In this study, a qualitative approach for water content selection in waste testing was considered to be the most suitable.Treatment of wastes affected composition and toxicity. Composting of sewage sludge increased its stability, compared to the initial sludge, but decreased its non-persistent organic pollutant burden and toxicity. On the other hand, thermally dried wastes from sludge and pig slurry displayed high toxicity, mainly attributable to their low stability. The results from the study indicate the inability of chemical methods to predict the effects of complex mixtures on living organisms with respect to ecotoxicity bioassays, but also the need for stabilization treatments of organic wastes prior to their reuse in soils.     

Opposite effects of two organic wastes on the physical quality of an agricultural soil

Soil application of organic wastes (OWs) can be beneficial for soil quality, depending on the quality of the wastes as well as on the amended soil. We performed a field experiment comparing the effects of two different OWs, an industrial sewage sludge (ISS) and a municipal solid waste compost (MSWC), on the physical, chemical and biological quality of an agricultural soil cultivated with maize in central Iran. The two OWs were mixed into the topsoil of the plots at rates of 15 and 45 t ha^?1 (dry matter). The analysis of soil samples taken 31, 74, 132 and 241 days after OW application showed both OW increased organic matter, microbial respiration, and urease activity and decreased bulk density. In contrast, they had opposite effects on water retention and saturated hydraulic conductivity. While the MSWC increased water retention at high saturation and saturated hydraulic conductivity, the ISS decreased them. The negative effects of the ISS on physical soil quality, which may have been due to pore-clogging and hydrophobicity effects, were related to a smaller yield increase in the ISS than in the MSWC treatments, demonstrating the importance that physical OW properties can have for the quality of amended soil.     

Recovery of aluminum from solid waste

Several wet and dry methods for extracting Al from mixed municipal refuse and other Al-bearing wastes (such as auto shredder residues) are discussed. Analytical results are given for samples of non-ferrous metals and Al concentrates obtained from mixed solid wastes. These analyses include both the chemical constituents of the samples and observed melt losses. The analytical results are compared with specifications that have been developed for Al recovered from mixed municipal refuse. The various uses for this material by the Al industry are discussed.     

Role of soil properties in sewage sludge toxicity to soil collembolans

Soil properties are one of the most important factors explaining the different toxicity results found in different soils. Although there is knowledge about the role of soil properties on the toxicity of individual chemicals, not much is known about its relevance for sewage sludge amendments. In particular little is known about the effect of soil properties on the toxicity modulation of these complex wastes. In addition, in most studies on sewage sludges the identity of the main substances linked to the toxicity and the influence of soil properties on their bioavailability remains unknown.In this study, the toxicity of a sewage sludge to the soil collembolan Folsomia candida was assessed in nine natural soils from agricultural, grassland and woodland sites, together with the OECD soil. Correlations between the relative toxicity of sludge for collembolans in the different soils and their physical and chemical soil properties were assessed in order to identify the main compounds responsible for the effects observed. Furthermore, the relationships between the toxic effects to collembolans and water-soluble ions released by sludge, pH and electric conductivity were also assessed, together with the modulating effects of soil properties.Sludge toxicity was directly linked to the water extractable ammonium, which explained most of the mortality of the collembolans, and part of the inhibition of reproduction. For the last endpoint, nitrite also contributed significantly to the inhibition observed. The varied levels in water extractable ammonium in the different soils at equal dosages seem to be, in turn, modulated by some soil properties. Higher organic carbon contents were associated with lower toxicity of sludge, both for survival and reproduction, probably related to its higher ammonium sorption capacity. In addition, for reproduction, increasing the C/N ratio and pH appeared to increase the toxicity, probably due to both the greater difficultly in nitrification and the known unsuitability of alkaline soils for this species.     

Water-Quality Diagnosis and Metal Distribution in a Strongly Polluted Zone of Deûle River (Northern France)

Using ICP-AES and ICP-MS, several metals were analyzed in water and suspended particulate matter (SPM) samples collected under normal turbidity conditions at various stations from Deûle river (in northern France) to assess the impact of a former smelting plant on the fate of particulate elements and on the water quality in this aquatic environment. Compared to their regional background, particulate Pb, Zn and Cd were found to be most enriched, suggesting anthropogenic inputs from bed sediments into the water column mainly due to physical disturbances induced by barges traffics. Conversely, no significant enrichments of particulate metals such as Cu, Cr and Ni were observed in Deûle SPM. Characterization of SPM with analyses of mineralogical and chemical compositions—using environmental scanning electron microscopy equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (ESEM/EDS)—indicated the presence of micro-specimens attributed to anthropogenic minerals, mostly PbS and ZnS. The calculated enrichment index (or the geoaccumulation index, I _geo), enrichment factor (EF) and the partition coefficient (K _d) confirmed that SPM was strongly polluted in cadmium, lead and zinc, moderately polluted in copper and unpolluted in chromium and nickel. Based on the analytical data obtained for SPM from the BCR (European Community Bureau of Reference) sequential extraction scheme, it was concluded that: (i) the reducible phases were largely more important for the binding of Pb and Cd than that of Zn and Ni and in a lesser extent Cu and Cr; (ii) copper was found to be mostly associated with the sulphides/organics fraction; (iii) chromium with a lithogenic origin was extracted in the largest percentage in the residual phase; and (iv) zinc was bound to the exchangeable-carbonate phase in the largest percentage in the particles analysed, followed by nickel and cadmium, suggesting that these metals might be easily remobilized if changes in environmental conditions would occur.     

A Module to Calculate Primary Particulate Matter Emissions and Abatement Measures in Europe

Primary particulate matter is emitted directly into the atmosphere from various anthropogenic and natural sources such as power plants (combustion of fossil fuels) or forest fires. Secondary particles are formed by transformation of SO₂, NO_x, NH₃, and VOC in the atmosphere. They both contribute to ambient particulate matter concentrations, which may have adverse effects on human health. Health hazards are caused by small particulate size, high number of especially fine (< 2.5 µm) and ultra-fine (< 0.1 µm) particles and/or their chemical composition. As part of an integrated assessment model developed at IIASA, a module on primary particulate matter (PM) emissions has been added to the existing SO₂, NO_x, NH₃ and VOC sections. The module considers so far primary emissions of total suspended particles (TSP), PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 from aggregated stationary and mobile sources. A primary PM emission database has been established. Country specific emission factors for stationary sources have been calculated within the module using the ash content of solid fuels.

Ecotoxic impact of suspended solids collected from polluted surface waters

Scope and background

Earlier studies showed that artificially contaminated particulate matter could be responsible for acute effects in water fleas and fish. Physical/chemical measurements on suspended solids and river water collected in the field showed that these samples were often contaminated with mixtures of toxic molecules.

Objectives

The present pilot study was started to investigate the possible ecotoxic impact of suspended solids collected in situ.

Methods

Suspended solids and river waters were collected from 22 locations of polluted rivers in the Flanders. An extensive list of chemical components and physical parameters were measured in these matrices. Partition coefficients for water column and suspended solids were calculated. Toxicity of suspensions of solid materials was investigated in 3 test organisms of different trophic levels: Bacteria (BIOMET®), filter feeder (Daphnia magna) and fish (rainbow trout (Oncor-hynchus mykiss) or zebrafish (Danio rerio)). The acute toxicity was measured in a worst-case scenario using high concentrations of solids resuspended in standard medium and at standard conditions.

Results and discussion

The partition coefficients were highly variable, showing that this parameter is not simply related to the octanol/water partition coefficient or to the total organic carbon content of the solids in field conditions, as is often assumed in exposure models. The field material of some locations was toxic. Bacteria were the most sensitive test organisms, showing EC20 values at field relevant concentrations. For some samples, acute toxic effects were seen in fish and water fleas. The chemical content of the samples was very complex and could not simply be related to toxicity. Some samples were highly contaminated with toxic chemicals and yet caused no toxic effects, while other samples did not show extremely high concentrations, but were toxic to the test organisms.

Conclusions

Results show that biotests are needed, next to chemical measurements, to estimate the toxic impact of complex environmental matrices. A better understanding of the adsorption/desorption behaviour of toxic molecules in the water compartment and in living organisms will contribute to a better environmental risk assessment.

Recommendations and outlook

The results indicate that the ecotoxic impact of suspended solids in the field should be further investigated in realistic (non-worst-case) conditions, i.e. for chronic effects at field relevant concentrations. And more extensive scientific research is needed to understand the adsorption/desorption behaviour of toxic molecules in different physicochemical matrices.     

Geochemical and Mineralogical Features of Overbank and Stream Sediments of the Beal Wadi (Cartagena-La Union Mining District, SE Spain): Relation to Former Lead�CZinc Mining Activities and Its Environmental Risk

Heavy metals and some major element concentrations were investigated in overbank sediments and stream bed sediments of the ephemeral Beal wadi creek in the Cartagena-La Union mining district (SE Spain). Two vertical sediment profiles were extracted and the chemical and mineralogical compositions were both investigated by X-ray fluorescence and X-ray diffraction. Geochemical variations in vertical profiles of these two kinds of sediments allow observing noticeable heavy metals pollution (especially Fe, Pb, and Zn) in both kind of sediments but especially in the overbank sediments (reaching values of approximately 13% Fe, 6% Pb, and 6% Zn). A single extraction (DIN 38414-S4 leaching test) was made to observe the transfer of metals from solids to liquid phase. Pb, Zn, Cu, and Cd contents surpass the leaching values established by the DIN 38414-S4 limits established by Spanish legislation to consider these wastes as hazardous wastes. Geochemical comparison between leaching behavior of the two types of sediments reveals a major ability of overbank sediments in transferring heavy metals to the water flow.     

Effect of the addition of wine distillery wastes to vineyard soils on the adsorption and mobility of fungicides

In the present work, a study was made of the effect of the addition of liquid and solid wine distillery wastes (WLW and WSW) to vineyard soils on the adsorption and leaching of penconazole and metalaxyl, two fungicides of different hydrophobic character that are widely used in vine cultivation. The study of these processes is of great interest, since currently the green filter system is implemented simultaneously in vine cultivation and as an alternative to classic purification methods of such organic wastes. Three vineyard soils selected from the La Rioja region (NW Spain) were used. Adsorption isotherms of the 14C-labeled fungicides by the soils in aqueous medium and in WLW medium were obtained, together with the percolation curves of the fungicides in packed soil columns under saturated flow conditions. The adsorption and leaching of metalaxyl in a soil amended with WSW were also studied. The Freundlich Kf constants indicated an increase in the adsorption of both fungicides by the soils in WLW medium as compared to aqueous medium. The amounts of penconazole leached in the three soils when they were washed with water and WLW ranged between 3.18 and 39.3% and between 2.00 and 10.4%, respectively, of the total fungicide added to the columns. In the case of metalaxyl, these amounts represented 69.1-100 and 91.6-117%. Variations were also observed in the shape and parameters of the breakthrough curves obtained in both systems and in the presence of WSW. The soluble organic compounds of WLW must be retained by the soil components, creating new adsorbent hydrophobic surfaces, which increase the retention in the soil of the highly hydrophobic compound penconazole. In the case of metalaxyl, which is very water soluble, the soluble organic compounds of WLW seem to contribute to the increase in its leaching, whereas the WSW favors the opposite effect. The results obtained, indicating modifications in the adsorption and leaching of penconazole and metalaxyl in the presence of WLW and WSW, show that further studies should be carried out on the adsorption and mobility of the fungicides in soils from the vineyard zone, which in turn are used as a green filter purification system of wine wastes.     

沼肥替代化肥对设施蔬菜产量和土壤养分及重金属累积的影响

针对盲目施用沼肥可能带来的土壤环境问题,该研究采用5年8茬的设施番茄-甜椒田间轮作试验,研究不同沼肥和化肥配比对蔬菜产量、设施土壤氮磷养分及重金属累积的影响.结果表明:在等氮钾养分投入下,沼肥和化肥以不同比例配施的各处理没有影响蔬菜产量;氮素盈余和0~180cm土层土壤全氮含量随沼肥施用比例增加没有显著差异;磷素盈余随沼肥施用比例增加显著增加,完全沼肥处理0~30cm土层土壤Olsen-P及CaCl2-P含量分别达到151和8.0mg/kg,高于其他2个处理,且明显超出环境阈值.与完全沼肥处理相比,减量沼肥施用(3/5沼肥处理)明显降低了土壤氮素淋洗风险和磷素累积.与不施肥处理相比,施用沼肥后30~60、60~90、150~180cm土层土壤全Hg含量均低于不施肥处理;除30~60cm土层使用沼肥处理土壤中全As含量显著高于不施肥处理,其他土层各处理间均没有显著差异,而完全沼肥处理全Cr、全Cd、全Pb含量有所下降,且全Pb含量下降最为显著,但均没有出现重金属污染风险.沼肥替代化肥施用可有效实现废弃物中的养分资源循环利用,但增加菜田土壤磷素累积和淋失风险,本研究为设施菜田合理施用沼肥提供技术支持,为实现沼肥资源的循环利用和化肥替代模式提供理论参考.

Corrosion and Leaching of Copper Tubing Exposed to Chlorinated Drinking Water

The leaching of lead and copper from plumbing materials is a source of metals in drinking water and is a public health concern. This work investigated the influence of free chlorine (HOCl/OCl^-) on the level of copper in water in contact with the solid metal, and proposed an oxidation-dissolution mechanism to explain copper leaching. Experimental results are presented for the leaching of copper metal exposed to chlorine-disinfected water under various pH, free chlorine, dissolved oxygen, total carbonate, chloride, and water volume conditions. The rate of copper leaching is found to be accelerated in waters with high free chlorine concentrations and low pHs. The leaching is explained by a proposed mechanism involving two consecutive steps: (1) direct oxidative attack on the solid metal surface by the free chlorine, followed by (2) dissolution of the partially oxidized copper surface as determined by the solubility of the copper mineral products at a particular pH.     

Nutrient leaching from pine needles impacted by acidic cloudwater

In coastral and mountainous environments, fog and cloud droplets are frequently deposited onto terrestrial surfaces; this deposition pathway may account for a large fraction of both moisture and chemical loading. Stratus cloudwater was collected for chemical analyses at Henninger Flats (870 m MSL), a site in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, 25 km northeast of downtown Los Angeles. Concurrent samples of intercepted cloudwater were manually removed, drop-by-drop, from needles on various species of pine trees upon which it had deposited. Samples were analyzed for pH, major cations, and anions. Solute concentrations were substantially higher in samples removed from pine needles compared to the suspended cloudwater. For example, cloudwater concentrations for nitrate and sulfate were measured between 0.25 and 4.5 meq L^?1 while deposited samples were 0.4 to 90 meq L^?1. This solute enhancement was due to evaporation following droplet deposition and to nutrient leaching. Nutrient leaching was indicated by (a) a disproportionate increase in the concentrations of cations such as K and Mg (a factor of 2 to 15 enrichment relative to sulfate), and (b) reductions in the leachate acidity and ammonium relative to the incident droplets. A relationship was observed between the enhancement of Na, Ca, and nitrate in pine needle leachate. This suggests that reactions at the foliar surfaces are occurring which involve gaseous HNO₃ and accumulated soil dust and sea-salt particles.     

长期有机无机肥配施增强黄壤性水稻土有机氮的物理保护作用

【目的】土壤有机碳物理一化学联合分组方法很好地联系了有机碳的多种稳定机制,成为深入研究土壤有机碳组分特征的有效手段。本研究旨在利用该方法研究长期施肥对黄壤性水稻土有机氮组分特征的影响,为合理施肥提供理论依据。【方法】基于南方黄壤性水稻土18年长期施肥定位试验,分析了不同施肥处理土壤有机氮组分含量及分配比例的变化。试验处理包括不施肥对照(CK)、单施化肥(NPK)、单施有机肥(M)、无机肥配施低量有机肥(0.5MNPK)和无机肥配施高量有机肥(MNPK)。【结果】单施化肥处理(NPK)水稻土总有机氮及各组分有机氮含量与不施肥对照相比无显著变化,施用有机肥处理(M、0.5MNPK、MNPK)则显著提高了土壤总有机氮、游离态粗颗粒、物理保护、化学保护及生物化学保护有机氮含量提高幅度分别为27%~51%、23%~39%、128%~274%、29%~42%和13%~28%,以有机无机肥配施最为显著,但降低了游离态细颗粒有机氮含量。在各个氮组分中游离态颗粒有机氮占总有机氮比例最高(46%~50%)物理保护有机氮比例最低(2%~6%)。与不施肥(CK)及单施化肥处理(NPK)相比,有机肥处理(M、0.5MNPK、MNPK)提高了土壤物理保护有机氮的分配比例。【结论】长期施肥土壤各组分有机氮及总有机氮两两之间均呈显著相关关系只有游离细颗粒有机氮与物理保护有机氮呈负相关关系。长期施用有机肥,极大改善土壤团聚体结构促进游离细颗粒有机氮的包裹,进而提高物理保护有机氮的相对比例,土壤有机氮的物理保护作用相对增强。因此,有机无机肥配施是提高稻田土壤有机氮含量的最有效措施。
