The electrokinetic remediation of an agricultural soil contaminated with heavy metals was studied using organic acids as facilitating agents. The unenhanced electrokinetic treatment using deionized water as processing fluid did not show any significant mobilization and removal of heavy metals due to the low solubilization of metals and precipitation at high pH conditions close to the cathode. EDTA and citric acid 0.1 M were used as facilitating agents to favor the dissolution and transportation of metals. The organic acids were added to the catholyte and penetrated into the soil specimen by electromigration. EDTA formed negatively charged complexes. Citric acid formed neutral metal complexes in the soil pH conditions (pH = 2–4). Citric acid was much more effective in the dissolution and transportation out of the soil specimen of complexed metals. In order to enhance the removal of metals, the concentration of citric acid was increased up to 0.5 M, resulting in the removal of 78.7% of Cd, 78.6% of Co, 72.5% of Cu, 73.3% of Zn, 11.8% of Cr and 9.8% of Pb.

In this study, we investigated the feasibility of using a solution of sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid as an extraction method for soil-washing to remove Cu, Pb, Zn, and As from contaminated soil. We treated various soil particles, including seven fraction sizes, using sulfuric acid. In addition, to improve Cu, Pb, Zn, and As removal efficiencies, washing agents were compared through batch experiments. The results showed that each agent behaved differently when reacting with heavy metals (Cu, Pb, and Zn) and As. Sulfuric acid was more effective in extracting heavy metals than in extracting As. However, phosphoric acid was not effective in extracting heavy metals. Compared with each inorganic acid, As removal from soil by washing agents increased in the order of sulfuric acid (35.81%) < phosphoric acid (62.96%). Therefore, an enhanced mixture solution using sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid to simultaneously remove heavy metals and As from contaminated soils was investigated. Sulfuric acid at 0.6 M was adopted to combine with 0.6 M phosphoric acid to obtain the mixture solution (1:1) that was used to determine the effect for the simultaneous removal of both heavy metals and As from the contaminated soil. The removal efficiencies of As, Cu, Pb, and Zn were 70.5%, 79.6%, 80.1%, and 71.2%, respectively. The combination of sulfuric acid with phosphoric acid increased the overall As and heavy metal extraction efficiencies from the contaminated soil samples. With the combined effect of dissolving oxides and ion exchange under combined washings, the removal efficiencies of heavy metals and As were higher than those of single washings.

Heavy metal contamination of soil is a common problem at many hazardous waste sites. Chelating extraction of heavy metals has been proposed as a remediation technique for contaminated soils. A useful method was developed, which assessed 190 ligands for their ability in extraction and recovery of target metals, including cadmium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, and zinc. Chelator performance was evaluated based on equilibrium calculations with an emphasis on the potential of recovering both the metals and chelating agents. Batch equilibration experiments over 24-h periods were performed to test three chelating agents, S-carboxymethyl-cysteine (SCMC), N-2-acetamidoiminodiacetic acid (ADA), and pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (PDA), which were deemed suitable for the extraction of cadmium, copper, lead, and zinc from soil. All three chelators demonstrated high extraction capability toward their respective target metals across a wide range of pH, metal, and ligand concentrations. In addition, all three chelators exhibited good recovery potential at moderately elevated pH values. The potential of many chelating agents and their effective pH ranges in the remediation of soils contaminated with heavy metals are reported. Key words: heavy metal, soil, contamination, chelation, remediation.
