Abstract
Arsenic (As) contamination in agricultural soil threatens safe agricultural production. Therefore, an ex situ magnet-assisted soil washing, using different types of nanoscale zerovalent iron was tested as a remediation option in soil restoration. Uncoated nanoparticles was the best tested option, with As removal at 45.5% and the nanoparticles were reusable up to four times.
Arsenic (As) contamination in agricultural soil threatens safe food and medicinal herb production for millions of people.
Therefore, ex situ magnet-assisted soil washing of metal-contaminated soil using bare nanoscale zerovalent iron (NZVI) is proposed as a novel remediation alternative. Conceptually, metal-contaminated soil is mixed with water and bare NZVI, and metals in the soil are transferred to the bare NZVI. The metal-sorbed NZVI is then retrieved from the soil slurry through magnetic separation, leaving behind treated soil. This study evaluated if advanced surface modification can improve ex situ soil restoration efficacy including polymeric coating and sulfidation of NZVI, proven beneficial in situ NZVI application. Sulfur and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) at various S/Fe and CMC/NZVI ratios were used to modify NZVI via sulfidation and physisorption.
Results revealed that sulfidised NZVI (S-NZVI) performed poorer (41.0%) than bare NZVI (45.5%) in As removal, even at the optimised S/Fe ratio of 0.31. This could be due to acid release via oxidative dissolution of FeS2 on the S-NZVI surface driven by O2. The incidental acid-dissolved NZVI sorption sites decreased As removal efficacy. Similarly, CMC-modified NZVI failed to improve As removal efficacy (11.0%) because it reduced NZVI reactivity and blocked As accessibility to NZVI sorptive sites.
Nevertheless, S-NZVI and CMC-modified NZVI promoted non-phytoavailable As fractions in the treated soil. Overall, bare NZVI performed the best for As removal but moderately transformed As into more non-phytoavailable fractions. Bare NZVI can be reused for four cycles of soil washing. In every case, mobile As in treated soil was lower than the maximum contamination level.
Keywords: arsenic contamination, arsenic immobilisation, ex situ soil remediation, food safety, magnet-assisted soil washing, magnetic separation, nanoscale zerovalent iron, polymeric surface coating, sulfidation.
