Abstract

The effectiveness of soil washing when solid phase resin is introduced into the reactor to maintain a low aqueous phase metal concentration is evaluated. Comparison experiments are performed to evaluate the impact of resin addition on the percentage of metal removed by washing soil from an inactive hazardous waste site under various conditions. Solid phase resin can increase the amount of metal removed during soil washing under acidic conditions, with/without the presence of acetate. The ability to remove lead at higher pH could result in considerable reductions in chemical costs, and because the metal is concentrated on the resin during washing, the need for subsequent processing of residuals may also be reduced.
