Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of soil pollution control and remediation, and specifically to a method and device for treating heavy metal pollutants in soil using electroosmosis technology. Background Art

[0002] Early electroosmosis applications used expensive metal electrodes, which were also prone to corrosion and could not meet the electroosmosis duration requirements of engineering applications. Consequently, this early electroosmosis technology struggled to gain widespread adoption.

[0003] To address the issue of electrode corrosion, some researchers have developed electro-osmotic drainage consolidation methods using EKG (electric geosynthetics) materials into "electric plastic drainage boards" and "electro-osmotic electrode tubes." The EKG electrode tube core features axially grooved outer walls, drainage holes drilled into the tube walls, and copper wire embedded axially within the tube walls. The EKG electro-osmotic drainage board is threaded with copper wire, and the core is wrapped with a conductive geotextile filter membrane. This electro-osmotic technology using EKG materials has been widely used in treating industrial sludge, riverbed sediment, blown-fill mud, and mine tailings.

[0004] Engineering practice has shown that while the aforementioned electroosmosis technology can achieve drainage and consolidation, it is less effective in removing heavy metals, particularly when the soil contains high levels of heavy metals. This method struggles to meet regulatory requirements. These difficulties stem from the fact that some heavy metals in the soil are adsorbed on the surface of soil particles, where their strong adsorption forces prevent electroosmosis from dislodging them. Consequently, electroosmosis alone cannot effectively remove heavy metal contaminants from the soil to regulatory levels.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new electroosmosis technology method and device that is easy to construct, simple to operate, and combines electrode plates (electroosmosis drainage plates) and electrode tubes to quickly and effectively remove pollutants (such as heavy metal cations or anion groups containing heavy metals) in the soil. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The technical solution of the present invention is: a method for treating heavy metal pollutants in soil using electroosmosis technology, comprising the following steps: Construct electroosmosis system, injection system and pumping system; Performing liquid injection and drainage, specifically including: injecting an electroosmosis enhancer solution into the soil of the to-be-treated area through the liquid injection system, and simultaneously draining the liquid from the soil through the drainage system; when the injection volume of the electroosmosis enhancer solution approaches a preset volume, detecting the electroosmosis enhancer concentration in the drained liquid and determining whether it meets the preset requirements; if so, proceeding to the next step of soaking and electroosmosis; if not, continuing the liquid injection and drainage until the preset requirements are met; The soaking and electroosmosis are carried out, specifically comprising: soaking the soil in the electroosmosis enhancer solution, and after the soaking is completed, turning on the power supply to energize the electroosmosis system to perform the electroosmosis treatment; Sampling and testing, specifically including: extracting liquid samples from the soil in the treatment area, testing the residual concentration of pollutants and determining whether it meets the preset requirements. If so, proceed to the next step of water injection and drainage; if not, repeat the previous step of immersion and electroosmosis until the residual concentration of pollutants meets the preset requirements; Carry out water injection and drainage, specifically including: injecting clean water into the soil in the area to be treated through the liquid injection system, and at the same time draining the liquid through the drainage system until the concentration of the electroosmosis enhancer in the drained liquid is ≤ the preset concentration limit, and the soil treatment is completed.

The drainage pipe is connected to the top of the electrode plate on the surface of the area to be treated. The surface of the area to be treated is laid with woven geotextile and sealing membrane in sequence above the infusion pipe and the drainage pipe.

[0018] A preferred method for treating heavy metal contaminants in soil using electroosmosis technology uses a device in which a plurality of electrode plates are arranged in a row at a spacing d in the longitudinal direction of the area to be treated, a plurality of electrode tubes are arranged in a row at a spacing d in the longitudinal direction of the area to be treated, and the width of each electrode plate is arranged in the longitudinal direction of the area to be treated; Multiple rows of electrode plates and multiple rows of electrode tubes are arranged alternately at intervals d transversely along the area to be processed, and the electrode plates and electrode tubes corresponding to adjacent rows are aligned or staggered transversely.

[0019] A water outlet is provided on the electrode tube, and the electrode tube is wrapped with a first filter cloth. A foot cover with an open upper end is provided at the bottom, and the foot cover wraps the lower end of the filter cloth. The upper end of each electrode tube is connected to a first vertical pipe through a clamp, and a three-way joint is provided at the upper end of the first vertical pipe to communicate with the infusion pipeline.

[0020] A more preferred device for treating heavy metal pollutants in soil using electroosmosis technology is that the three-way connector is a T-shaped structure, the lower port is connected to the first vertical pipe, and the two upper ports are connected and arranged on the liquid infusion pipeline.

[0021] The preferred method for treating heavy metal pollutants in soil using electroosmosis technology uses a device, wherein the infusion pipeline includes a front-pump infusion pipe connected to the inlet of the injection pump, and a post-pump infusion pipe connected to the outlet of the injection pump, and the post-pump infusion pipe is connected to the top of the electrode tube on the surface of the area to be treated.

[0022] The preferred device used in the method of treating heavy metal pollutants in soil using electroosmosis technology is that the drainage pipe includes a front-pump drainage pipe connected to the inlet of the pump and a rear-pump drainage pipe connected to the outlet of the pump, and the top of the electrode plate is wrapped and tied to the front-pump drainage pipe on the surface of the area to be treated.

[0023] The preferred device used in the method for treating heavy metal pollutants in soil using electroosmosis technology is that the infusion pipeline is a water-impermeable PVC steel wire hose, and the drainage pipeline is a water-permeable PVC steel wire hose with a second filter cloth wrapped on its surface.

[0024] The preferred device used in the method for treating heavy metal pollutants in soil using electroosmosis technology is provided with a film outlet on the sealing membrane, and the liquid delivery pipeline and the drainage pipeline are sealed and pass through the sealing membrane via the film outlet.

[0025] The preferred device used in the method for treating heavy metal pollutants in soil using electroosmosis technology is that a film pressing trench is opened around the area to be treated, and soil is filled and compacted in the film pressing trench around the sealing membrane.

[0026] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: (1) The treatment method of the present invention can quickly and effectively remove pollutants in the soil, such as heavy metal cations (such as Cd 2+ , Pb 2+、Zn 2+ 、Cu 2+ 、Ni 2+ etc.), and heavy metal anion groups (such as heavy metal anion chromate CrO4 2- ), achieving soil purification in a relatively short period of time. Depending on the contaminants in the soil, an electroosmotic enhancer is selected that can efficiently separate and remove them. The method of the present invention can treat contaminated soil layers of varying thicknesses, effectively reaching depths of 30m or even greater.

[0027] (2) In the treatment method of the present invention, a hollow electrode tube is placed in the soil during the construction of the injection system. The electroosmosis enhancer solution is injected into the deep soil through the electrode tube. The electroosmosis enhancer solution interacts with the heavy metal pollutants, reducing their adsorption force on soil particles. The heavy metal ions are liberated through the electric field formed by the electrode tube and the electrode plate, and condensed around the electrode plate. The hazardous waste liquid containing pollutants is discharged to an external hazardous waste pool through a pump. This method of injecting appropriate electroosmosis enhancer solution, liberating pollutants through electroosmosis, and pumping them to the hazardous waste pool reliably and efficiently removes heavy metal pollutants from the soil.

[0028] (3) The soaking and electroosmosis steps of the treatment method of the present invention adopt the process of letting the enhancer solution soak in the soil, which can fully react the pollutants with the electroosmosis enhancer without requiring a large amount of enhancer solution, thus significantly reducing the removal cost. Select the appropriate electroosmosis enhancer according to the pollutants in the soil: if the pollutants are mainly Pb 2+ 、Cu 2+ , and the soil is acidic, sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate can be selected as the electroosmotic enhancer; if the pollutant is mainly Cd 2+ , Pb 2+ 、Zn 2+ If the soil is alkaline, hydrochloric acid or nitric acid can be used as an electroosmotic enhancer; if the main pollutant is Cd 2+ 、Ni 2+ For heavy metals such as iodine, sodium chloride or ammonium chloride can be selected as electroosmotic enhancing agents.

[0029] (4) The water injection and drainage steps of the treatment method of the present invention inject clean water to displace and drain the heavy metal-containing enhancer solution (hazardous waste liquid). Therefore, the enhancer solution originally injected into the soil is also removed, thereby achieving a very ideal soil purification effect.

[0030] (5) In the treatment method of the present invention, since the electroosmotic enhancer solution is eventually replaced and discharged by clean water, there is no need to worry about the enhancer solution remaining in the soil causing soil acidification, excessive soil salt content, and groundwater pollution caused by difficult degradation. The choice of the type of agent is increased. For example, for Cd in the soil 2+ , Pb2+ 、Zn 2+ For heavy metals such as chlorinated metals, inorganic acids with extremely low cost and good desorption effect can be selected as electroosmosis enhancement agents for treatment. There is no need to worry about its impact on soil acidification. While achieving good heavy metal removal effect, it also greatly reduces the project cost.

[0031] (6) In the device of the present invention, the alternating arrangement of each row of electrode plates and each row of electrode tubes in the electroosmosis system can make the positive and negative electrodes correspond to each other, maintain the electric field effect, and gather the pollutant ions near the electrode plates; the electrode plates and electrode tubes in adjacent rows are arranged in a horizontally aligned or staggered arrangement. When the arrangement is staggered, the electrode tubes are more efficient in injecting liquid into the soil layer because the adjacent electrode plates have less obstruction to the injection of liquid into the electrode tubes.

[0032] (7) The electrode tube of the electroosmosis system of the present invention is a hollow tube made of EKG material with water outlet holes on all sides and wrapped with filter cloth on the outside. The length of the electrode tube is determined according to the thickness of the soil layer to be treated and can be up to 30m or longer, making it applicable to areas to be treated at various depths. A first vertical pipe (PVC pipe) is provided at the upper end of the electrode tube to quickly connect it to the infusion pipeline.

[0033] (8) The electroosmotic enhancement liquid pool of the injection system of the present invention can be excavated on site as needed and sealed with a polyethylene film to facilitate storage and use of sufficient electroosmotic enhancement liquid. The injection pump can be a reciprocating pump to provide sufficient injection pressure, and the infusion tube can be a PVC steel wire hose, which has high strength and is easy to adapt to ground subsidence.

[0034] (9) In the drainage system of the present invention, a woven geotextile and a sealing membrane are provided above the ground surface. The purpose of providing the woven geotextile is to protect the sealing membrane from being punctured by debris such as plate heads and wire heads. The sealing membrane is used to cover the entire treatment area and is pressed into the film pressing groove around the area to ensure that the vacuum pressure under the membrane meets the requirements during the drainage process.

[0035] The present invention can quickly and effectively remove heavy metal pollutants in the soil through the cooperation of the liquid injection system, the electroosmosis system and the pumping system, thereby achieving soil purification in a relatively short time.

The interaction of these systems allows for rapid and effective removal of heavy metal contaminants from contaminated soil, achieving soil purification in a relatively short period of time.

[0040] The electroosmosis system includes electrode plates 2 and electrode tubes 3 inserted into the soil layer of the area to be treated 1. Multiple electrode plates 2 and multiple electrode tubes 3 are arranged in rows at intervals, and multiple rows of electrode plates 2 and multiple rows of electrode tubes 3 are arranged alternately at intervals. The electroosmosis system also includes a power supply device 16 dedicated to electroosmosis. All electrode plates 2 are electrically connected to one of the positive and negative poles of the power supply device 16 dedicated to electroosmosis via a first wire 13, and all electrode tubes 3 are electrically connected to the other of the positive and negative poles of the power supply device 16 dedicated to electroosmosis via a second wire 14. The connection between the electrode plates 2 and the electrode tubes 3 and the positive and negative poles is determined by the substance to be removed: if heavy metal ions (such as Cd) are to be removed, 2+ , Pb 2+ 、Zn 2+ 、Cu 2+ 、Ni 2+When the electrode tube 3 is connected to the positive electrode of the electroosmosis power supply device 16, the electrode plate 2 is connected to the negative electrode of the electroosmosis power supply device 16; to remove heavy metal anion groups (such as heavy metal anion chromate CrO4 2- ), the electrode tube 3 is connected to the negative pole of the electroosmosis power supply device 16, and the electrode plate 2 is connected to the positive pole of the electroosmosis power supply device 16. The voltage range of the electroosmosis power supply device 16 is 20V~60V.

[0041] In a preferred example, one of the horizontal directions of the area to be treated is the longitudinal direction, and the other horizontal direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is the transverse direction. The specific arrangement of the electrode tube 3 and the electrode plate 2 is as follows: multiple electrode plates 2 are arranged in rows along the longitudinal direction of the area to be treated at a spacing d, and multiple electrode tubes 3 are arranged in rows along the longitudinal direction of the area to be treated at a spacing d. The width of all electrode plates 2 is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the area to be treated. At this time, the length direction of each electrode plate 2 is vertical, the thickness direction is transverse to the area to be treated, and the width direction is longitudinal to the area to be treated.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, multiple rows of electrode plates 2 and multiple rows of electrode tubes 3 are arranged alternately at a spacing d across the horizontal direction of the treatment area.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the area to be processed is square, with the width direction as the longitudinal direction, such as Figure 5-6 Middle and lower direction; take the length direction as horizontal direction, such as Figure 5-6 The six electrode plates 2 are arranged in a row at a spacing d in the longitudinal direction, and the six electrode tubes 3 are arranged in a row at a spacing d in the longitudinal direction. The three rows of electrode plates 2 and the three rows of electrode tubes 3 are arranged alternately at a spacing d in the transverse direction. The electrode plates 2 and electrode tubes 3 corresponding to adjacent rows can be arranged in a transversely aligned manner, such as Figure 5 As shown; the electrode plates 2 and electrode tubes 3 corresponding to adjacent rows can also be arranged in a transverse staggered manner, such as Figure 6 As shown, the staggered spacing is d / 2, that is, the longitudinal spacing between the electrode plates 2 and the electrode tubes 3 corresponding to adjacent rows is d / 2. At this time, there is no electrode plate 2 blocking the lateral sides of each electrode tube 3. Therefore, when the arrangement is staggered, the adjacent electrode plates 2 have less obstruction to the injection of the electrode tubes 3, and the electrode tubes are more efficient in injecting liquid into the soil layer.

[0044] The electrode tubes 3 are provided with water outlets 31. A first filter cloth 32 surrounds the electrode tubes 3, and a foot cover 33 with an open top is placed at the bottom, enclosing the lower end of the first filter cloth 32.

[0047] The sealing membrane 12 is equipped with an outlet (not shown). The post-pump infusion line 7 and the pre-pump drainage line 9 are both sealed through the membrane outlet and pass through the sealing membrane 12. A membrane compression groove 8 is defined around the treatment area 1. The membrane 12 is filled with compacted soil to ensure that the required vacuum pressure is maintained under the membrane during the extraction process. For heavy metal removal only, the sub-membrane vacuum pressure ranges from 20 to 50 kPa. For simultaneous removal of heavy metals and improvement of soil mechanical properties, the sub-membrane vacuum pressure ranges from 60 to 80 kPa.

The first wire 13 connects to the negative electrode, and the second wire 14 connects to the positive electrode.

[0055] 6) Connection of the Pumping and Drainage System: Lay the pre-pump drainage pipe 9 on the ground in the treatment area 1. Connect the top of the electrode plate 2 to the pre-pump drainage pipe 9 using a winding method. The pre-pump drainage pipe 9 passes through the membrane outlet and through the sealing membrane 12 to the inlet of the pumping and drainage pump 15. The outlet of the pumping and drainage pump 15 is connected to the inlet of the post-pump drainage pipe 10. The outlet of the post-pump drainage pipe 10 is connected to the hazardous waste liquid tank 4.

[0056] 7) Laying the sealing membrane 12: A membrane pressing trench 8 has been dug around the area to be treated 1. A layer of woven geotextile 11 is laid on the ground first, and then the sealing membrane 12 is laid. The edge of the sealing membrane 12 is stepped into the membrane pressing trench 8 and backfilled and compacted.

[0057] S2, perform injection and drainage Start the injection pump 5 and inject the electroosmosis enhancer solution (ammonium chloride solution) with the original concentration C0 (C0=0.1~0.3mol / L) into the soil of the to-be-treated area 1 through the electrode tube 3 at an injection pressure of 20~50kPa. Simultaneously, start the drainage pump 15 to drain the original pore fluid in the soil at a sub-membrane vacuum pressure of 20~50kPa. When the amount of the injected enhancer solution is close to the preset total amount V0, check the electroosmosis enhancer concentration C1 in the drained fluid. When the electroosmosis enhancer concentration meets the preset requirement C1≥60%·C0, stop the injection pump 5 and the drainage pump 15. When C1<60%·C0, continue the injection and drainage until the preset requirement is met.

[0058] S3. Soaking and electroosmosis When the pump is stopped, the soil is left to soak in the electroosmosis enhancer solution. The initial soaking time is the preset time T0 (T0=7~10 days). After the soaking is completed, the electroosmosis special power supply device 16 is turned on, and the electrode plate 2 and the electrode tube 3 are energized for electroosmosis treatment. The potential difference is 20~60V. The initial power-on time is the preset time T1 (T1=3~5 days), and the power is turned off to stop the electroosmosis.

[0059] S4. Take samples for testing Start the drainage pump 15 to extract liquid samples from the soil in the treatment area, detect the residual concentration of pollutants in the drainage liquid and determine whether it meets the preset requirements (the preset requirements can refer to relevant industry regulations or be set according to needs, such as Cd 2+ ≤1.5mg / kg), if yes, proceed to the next step; if not, repeat the previous step of soaking and electroosmosis, continue soaking time T0 / 3 and electroosmosis time T1, until the residual concentration of pollutants meets the preset requirements.

[0060] S5. Water injection and drainage The injection pump 5 is started to inject clean water into the soil in the treatment area (injection pressure 20~50kPa), and the drainage pump 15 is started at the same time (drainage vacuum pressure 20~50kPa). The electroosmosis enhancer concentration of the drainage liquid is detected until the electroosmosis enhancer concentration is ≤ the preset concentration limit. The preset concentration limit ranges from 5%·C0 to 10%·C0, and is 5%·C0 in this embodiment. That is, when the electroosmosis enhancer concentration of the drainage liquid is ≤5%·C0, the water injection and drainage are stopped, and the soil treatment is completed.
