[0031] DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0032] The features of the present application will be further illustrated by specific examples. The following description of the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings is intended to explain the general principles of the present application and should not be understood as a limitation of the present application.
[0033] Referring to Figures 1-3 Fig. 1 shows a structural schematic diagram of a sand layer heavy metal contaminated soil in-situ electrokinetic remediation device and components thereof according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0034] The sand layer heavy metal contaminated soil in-situ electrokinetic remediation device comprises two electrode chambers 110, at least two liquid control chambers 120 are installed on each electrode chamber 110; at least two remediation pipes 130 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the at least two liquid control chambers 120 correspondingly; and soft clay is filled in the remediation pipes 130.
[0035] Further, the electrode chamber 110 comprises electrolyte 150 injected therein and a sheet-shaped electrode 160 made of non-corrosive electrokinetic geosynthetic material vertically arranged therein, the sheet-shaped electrode 160 is connected at the center with a wire connector of the same material, the wire connector is integrally connected with the sheet-shaped electrode 160, and is used to connect the sheet-shaped electrode 160 with the wire 180 outside the electrolyte 150. The arrangement of the sheet-shaped electrode is conducive to increasing the conduction area of the electric charge, thereby increasing the current, improving the ion migration rate, improving the electrokinetic remediation efficiency, and using the integrally connected wire 180 to simplify the connection mode and increase the firmness.
[0036] In addition, the sheet-shaped electrodes 160 in the two electrode chambers 110 are respectively connected with the positive and negative poles of the direct current power supply 170 through the wires 180. The electrode chamber connected with the positive pole of the direct current power supply 170 is the anode electrode chamber, and the electrode chamber connected with the negative pole of the direct current power supply 170 is the cathode electrode chamber.
[0037] Specifically, during the electrokinetic remediation, the hydrated cations in the electrolyte in the anode electrode chamber and the pore water of the contaminated soil migrate to the cathode, resulting in continuous reduction of the electrolyte in the anode electrode chamber and continuous increase of the electrolyte in the cathode electrode chamber. The volume changes of the electrolyte in the anode and cathode electrode chambers are obtained through the water level scale on the outer side of the electrode chamber, and the difference between the volume changes of the two is the drainage amount of the contaminated soil. When the current size appears obvious fluctuation and shows multiple continuous decrease phenomenon, even if the voltage is increased, the current is still not obviously increased, and at the same time the drainage amount of the contaminated soil tends to be flat, indicating that the contaminated soil remediation is completed.
[0038] In some embodiments, at least a portion of each liquid control chamber 120 is located in the electrode chamber 110. That is, the liquid control chamber 120 can be arranged to be completely located in the electrode chamber 110, or alternatively, a portion of the liquid control chamber 120 is located in the electrode chamber 110 and another portion is located outside the electrode chamber 110.
[0039] In some embodiments, the bottom of each electrode chamber 110 has at least two threaded holes; the upper end and the lower end of each liquid control chamber 120 is provided with a threaded interface 122, 123, the threaded interface 122 of the upper end of the liquid control chamber 120 passes through the threaded hole and is threadedly connected therewith, and the threaded interface 123 of the lower end of at least a portion of the liquid control chambers 120 is threadedly connected with the repair pipe 130.
[0040] In some embodiments, the top of the threaded interface of the upper end of the liquid control chamber 120 is connected with a threaded cover 121, and the threaded cover 121 is configured to have different porosities. The threaded cover 121 with different porosities at the top of the liquid control chamber 120 can be used to seal the liquid control chamber 120 or control the migration rate of ions.
[0041] If the electrokinetic repair efficiency of a certain depth repair circuit needs to be tested, the repair circuit of other depths needs to be suspended, and the threaded cover 121 with a porosity of 0 is selected to seal the upper end of the liquid control chamber 120. If it is necessary to slow down the migration rate of ions so as to fully chelate and resolve the heavy metals in the contaminated soil, the threaded cover 121 with a smaller porosity is selected to reduce the charge conduction area of the electrode and the liquid control chamber 120.
[0042] It should be noted that the number of the at least two threaded holes provided on the bottom of the electrode chamber 110 can be multiple, desirably, they are uniformly distributed on the bottom of the electrode chamber 110, of course, a person skilled in the art can also arrange them to be non-uniform or other design patterns according to needs. If the number of the repair pipes 130 to be connected is less than the number of the liquid control chambers 120, the upper end of the unused liquid control chamber 120 will be sealed with the threaded cover 121 without holes when the repair device is in use.
[0043] In the embodiments of the present application, the threaded holes on the bottom of each electrode chamber 110 are exemplarily provided as three, and the liquid control chambers 120 are also designed as three, and the repair pipes 130 are also designed as three repair pipes 131-133 with different lengths.
[0044] In some embodiments, the repair pipe 130 is assembled by at least one repair pipe section, and each repair pipe section of the at least one repair pipe section has a predetermined length. The length of each repair pipe section is 1-2 m, and the pipe diameter is 10-20 cm. The pipe opening of each repair pipe section is provided with internal threads or external threads, so that two adjacent repair pipe sections are fixedly connected together by screwing. The three repair pipes 131-133 are assembled by repair pipe sections with different numbers of pitches.
[0045] In a further embodiment, the in-situ electric remediation device for heavy metal contaminated soil in sandy layers may also include a protective boot 140 with a pointed tip, which is set at the bottom end of the last section of each remediation pipe 130 and sleeved around the pipe wall of the remediation pipe section to protect the opening of the remediation pipe section, but does not close the remediation pipe section.
[0046] In some embodiments, the length of the at least one remediation pipe 130 is determined according to the soil layer distribution of the contaminated site, such that the bottom opening of the at least one remediation pipe 130 is not located in the sand layer 300. Specifically, the number of remediation pipe segments assembled is determined by the thickness and distribution of the soil layers in the contaminated site, and the bottom openings of one or more remediation pipe segments driven into the soil layers should avoid the sand layer 300 and be evenly distributed in other contaminated soil layers.
[0047] In some embodiments, the bottom opening of the repair pipe 130 closest to the upper and lower surfaces of the sand layer 300 should be at least 0.5m away from the sand layer. In the repair soil layers other than the sand layer 300, there should be a repair pipe 130 with its bottom opening at every 1-2m thickness range.
[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention exemplarily illustrates the structural schematic diagram of the in-situ electric remediation device for heavy metal contaminated soil in sandy layers in its working state. The bottom opening of the remediation pipe 131 is located in the shallow contaminated soil 200 above the sand layer 300. The remediation pipes 132 and 133 have different lengths, and their bottom openings are both located in the deep contaminated soil 300 below the sand layer 300.
[0049] In some embodiments, the electrode chamber 110 is a transparent cylindrical shape, and a water level scale is provided on the outer surface of the electrode chamber 110. The water level scale is used to measure the volume change of the electrolyte 150 in the electrode chamber 110, thereby determining the consumption of the electrolyte 150.
[0050] This invention provides a method for utilizing... Figure 1 The in-situ electrokinetic remediation method for heavy metal contaminated soil in sandy layers using the illustrated electrokinetic remediation device 100 includes the following steps:
[0051] S1. Drill soil samples in situ at the contaminated site, obtain the soil layer distribution and physical property indicators such as water content of each soil layer through geotechnical tests, and use appropriate related instruments known in the art to test the types and concentrations of heavy metal pollutants contained in each soil layer (thereby determining the in-situ electroremediation design scheme), and determine the arrangement spacing of the two electrode chambers 110, the type of electrolyte, the number of remediation tubes 130 and the soil penetration depth of the remediation tubes 130.
[0052] S2, for the heavy metal contaminated soil site in the sand layer, by spraying, drilling, high pressure splitting, injection of liquid and other ways to control the repair of soil moisture content is not less than 30%, spraying and injection of liquid soil for low concentration of organic acid, the low concentration of organic acid section is, for example, the concentration of 0.2 mol / L of citric acid.
[0053] S3, according to the thickness of the soil layer to be repaired, assemble the first section of the repair pipe segment at each repair point, press the assembled first section of the repair pipe segment into the soil layer at the repair point, install the second section of the repair pipe segment at the top end of the first section of the repair pipe segment, and continue to press into the soil; a predetermined number of repair pipe segments are installed and pressed in turn until the designed repair depth is reached.
[0054] S4, using multi-shaft stirring machinery to extend each stirring shaft into each repair pipe segment, while stirring and injecting water, the mud, sand and other materials in the repair pipe segment are extracted to the ground surface;
[0055] S5, fill each repair pipe segment with soft clay with a water content of 50%-60%500;
[0056] S6, connect the electrode chamber 110, the liquid control chamber 120, the screw cover 121 and each repair pipe segment in turn, inject electrolyte into the electrode chamber 110, vertically place the sheet electrode 160 into the electrolyte, connect the sheet electrode 160 with the positive and negative electrodes of the direct current power supply 170 through the wire 180, and update the collected electrolyte at regular intervals during the electric repair process until the repair is completed.
[0057] The electrolyte has a very important influence on the electric repair effect of the contaminated soil, and the amount of electrolyte depends on two aspects: one is the penetration / leakage of the electrolyte in the soil under the action of gravity, and the other is the migration of ions in the electrolyte in the soil under the action of the electric field, so that part of the heavy metals in the soil are resolved or migrated to the cathode chamber by chelation. Because the permeability coefficient of the contaminated soft clay is very small, 10 -6 -10 -9 cm / s, taking the contaminated soft clay with a permeability coefficient of 5 x 10 -7 cm / s as an example, it takes 2314.8 days, about 6.3 years, for the electrolyte to penetrate 1 m vertically in the soil.
[0058] During the repair process, if the electric repair efficiency of the repair circuit at a certain depth is tested, the upper port of the corresponding liquid control chamber 120 is sealed with a screw cover 121 with a hole rate of 0. If it is necessary to slow down the migration rate of ions to make them fully chelate and resolve the heavy metals in the contaminated soil, a screw cover 121 with a small hole rate is selected to reduce the charge conduction area between the electrode and the liquid control chamber 120.
[0059] Referring to Figure 4, shows the working principle of the in-situ electrokinetic remediation method of sand layer heavy metal contaminated soil according to an embodiment of the application. The in-situ electrokinetic remediation device for sand layer heavy metal contaminated soil is used. The electrodes placed in the electrolyte above the ground are connected with the direct current power supply. The electrode connected with the positive pole of the direct current power supply is the anode, and the electrode connected with the negative pole of the direct current power supply is the cathode. Under the action of the electric field applied by the direct current power supply, an electric field is formed in the depth range of about 1-2 m between the pipe orifices of the remediation pipes with the same depth of soil penetration connected below the two adjacent electrode chambers. At this time, the cations in the anode electrolyte, such as hydrogen ions, migrate to the contaminated soil at different depths through the soft clay filled in each remediation pipe connected below the anode electrode chamber, resolve the heavy metal pollutants adsorbed on the soil particles, and convert part or all of the heavy metals in the contaminated soil at different depths into free state, and then migrate to the cathode electrolyte together, so as to realize the in-situ electrokinetic remediation of the sand layer heavy metal contaminated soil.
[0060] The electric field in the schematic diagram illustrates the thickness range of each remediation pipe when the in-situ electrokinetic remediation device and the remediation method of the application are used for layered synchronous remediation or layer-by-layer remediation of the contaminated soil layer with large thickness.
[0061] If the thickness of the remediation soil layer except the sand layer 300 is thick, the number of remediation pipes required according to the thickness reaches 5 or more. At this time, the number of remediation pipes does not need to be increased, and the layered layer-by-layer remediation method is adopted. The layered thickness is 1-2 m, that is, after the remediation of the soil body of one layered thickness is completed by the remediation pipe segment, a section of remediation pipe is installed at the top end of the remediation pipe segment, and is pressed to the middle position of the next layered thickness to remediate the soil body of the layered thickness. In this way, the remediation of the whole soil layer is completed. The electrolyte 150 in the electrode chamber 110 can be updated in real time by using a peristaltic pump, or can be replaced completely after the electrolyte 150 works for a certain period of time.
[0062] Referring to Figure 5 , shows the implementation working schematic diagram of the in-situ electrokinetic remediation method of sand layer heavy metal contaminated soil according to another embodiment of the application. The in-situ electrokinetic remediation device for sand layer heavy metal contaminated soil and the remediation method thereof provided in the embodiment of the application are verified for feasibility in the indoor electrokinetic remediation model test of the sand layer heavy metal contaminated soil. The size of the model box is 30 x 15 x 30 cm 3 (length x width x height). The voltage applied by the direct current power supply starts from 20 V, increases by 10 V each time, and reaches 60 V. The working time of each voltage level is 60 h. The anode and cathode electrolytes are replaced every 10 h, and the initial volume is 220 mL.
[0063] Taking heavy metal copper and zinc contaminated soft clay as the research object, after about 260 h of electrokinetic remediation, the average removal rates of heavy metals copper and zinc reach more than 85%. The specific experimental data are shown in Tables 1-3:

Each circuit moves the heavy metals in the depth range to the electrolyte, thereby realizing in-situ electrokinetic remediation of the sand layer heavy metal contaminated soil.
[0073] (2) The sand layer heavy metal contaminated soil in-situ electrokinetic remediation device and the remediation method thereof provided by the embodiment of the present application can avoid problems such as excessive penetration or leakage of the electrolyte under the action of gravity, based on the low permeability of the soft clay filled in the repair pipe and the setting of the pipe opening of each repair pipe avoiding the sand layer. At the same time, under the action of the electric field, the hydrated cations in the anode electrolyte migrate to different depths of the contaminated soil through the soft clay filled in each repair pipe connected to the anode electrode chamber, so that part or all of the heavy metals in the contaminated soil at different depths are converted into free state and migrate to the cathode electrolyte together. Thus, the present application can reduce the amount of electrolyte, reduce the engineering cost, and avoid pollution of groundwater.

If the migration rate of ions is slowed down to allow sufficient chelation and analysis of heavy metals in the contaminated soil, a screw cover with a certain porosity is selected to reduce the charge conduction area of the electrode and the liquid control chamber.
