Abstract
Municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash has a high concentration of heavy metals (HMs) which are hazardous to the environment. Moreover, it has high pH and buffering capacity which hinders the removal of HMs. Another constraining factor is the considerable fraction of HMs which exist in oxidizable and reducible states. The acid pretreatment of MSWI fly ash is a key solution to this problem. Therefore, the current experiment is carried out to evaluate the effect of acid pretreatment of MSWI fly ash and reaction/proposed time on the removal efficiency of HMs through an electrokinetic experiment. The leaching experiment results show that acid pretreatment has increased the desorption/release of heavy metal ions (Pb2+, Cd2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+). It enhances the migration of HM ions in electrolytic cells which get precipitated at the cathode, thereby increasing the removal efficiency of HMs in the electrokinetic experiment. Moreover, it is found that prolonged proposed time (12 d) has significant effect on the removal efficiency of HMs. Finally, it is concluded that acid pretreatment and prolonged proposed time have enhanced the removal electrokinetic remediation of HMs which is carried out via three processes, i.e. desorption ...Continue Reading
