Abiotic Reduction

Abiotic reduction of 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT) in the presence of sulfide minerals has been investigated under anoxic conditions at 35°C. 2,4-DNT was abiotically reduced to 4-amino-2-nitrotoluene (4-A-2-NT) and 2-amino-4-nitrotoluene (2-A-4-NT) in the presence of high concentration of sulfide (0.84 mM). No abiotic reduction of 2,4-DNT was observed in the presence of low sulfide concentration (0.42 mM). The rate and the extent of the abiotic reduction of 2,4-DNT were increased with an increase in sulfide concentration. Sulfide served as an electron donor for the reduction of 2,4-DNT. The 2-nitro group was preferentially reduced, making the 2-A-4-NT:4-A-2-NT ratio in the final products 2:1. The addition of iron, nickel, and cobalt minerals significantly enhanced the abiotic reduction. The FeS, NiS, and CoS solids formed in the serum bottles catalyzed the reduction of 2,4-DNT preferentially to 4-A-2-NT. MnS and CuS solids also catalyzed the reduction of 2,4-DNT to 4-A-2-NT, but did not change the overall reduction of 2,4-DNT. However, the presence of calcium, zinc, and magnesium minerals impeded 2,4-DNT reduction. The calcium, zinc, and magnesium ions have a high affinity to sulfide, inactivating sulfide as an electron donor for the chemical reduction of 2,4-DNT.

The Stability

Arsenopyrite (FeAsS) is the most common primary arsenic-sulfide mineral in nature, and its oxidation causes the release of toxic arsenic (As). To mitigate these problems, carrier-microencapsulation (CME), a technique that passivates sulfide minerals by covering their surfaces with a protective coating, has been developed. In the previous study of authors on CME, Al-catecholate complex significantly suppressed arsenopyrite oxidation via electron donating effects of the complex and the formation of an Al-oxyhydroxide coating. For the application of this technique to real tailings, however, further study should be carried out to elucidate long-term effectiveness of the coating to suppress arsenopyrite oxidation. This study investigates the stability of the coating formed on arsenopyrite by Al-based CME using weathering tests. The Al-oxyhydroxide coating suppressed arsenopyrite oxidation until about 50 days of the experiment, but after this, the amounts of oxidation products like dissolved S and As increased due to the gradual dissolution of the coating with time as a result of the low pH of leachate. This suggests that co-disposal of Al-based CME-treated arsenopyrite with minerals that have appropriate neutralization potentials, so that the pH is maintained at around 5 to 8 where Al-oxyhydroxide is stable.
