Дисертації з теми "Mineral sludge"

This thesis is concerned with the biodegradation of oily sludges typically found at refinery sites as waste residues from the refining of mineral oil. Currently these type of wastes represent significant environmental risk. Current technology that addresses containment during treatment to regulate the release of volatile organic carbons and reduction of the polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons in the sludge, is incineration. Incineration is a costly option and this research has shown that the same treatment standards as incineration is achievable through bioreactor treatment with the correct process and reactor design.

Many farmers today are using mineral fertilizers (MF) containing big amounts of nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen, which can lead to e.g. eutrophication in watercourses. Due to this problem, the use of Revaq-certified sewage sludge (RS) as fertilizer has drawn some attention, both because it might be a better alternative than MF and for the return and circulation of phosphorus and nitrogen. The aim with this study was to see if there was any difference between these two fertilization methods when analyzing nutrients in leakage water from soil that had been fertilized with either: RS or MF. An experiment was carried out with soil in pots fertilized with either MF or RS. The soil was watered and the leakage water sampled and analyzed for total phosphorus and total nitrogen. The results showed a clear difference of nutrient concentrations between the MF and RS. Soil fertilized with MF released phosphorus in a higher concentration than soil with RS. The result for total nitrogen showed that MF also released higher nitrogen concentration than RS during the first days after. The conclusions is therefore that MF due to its high concentrations of released nutrients, might more likely contribute to eutrophication than RS.

Com base no procedimento EPA-3050B, estudou-se o teor de metais (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, e Zn) em lodos de esgoto da CETESB. Foram analisadas duas amostras e os resultados obtidos foram (Cd =3,4 ; Cr =367,5 ; Cu =263,0 ; Ni=290,6 ; Pb =91,5 ; Zn =1324,9 mg/ kg) para primeira amostra e (Cd =3,0 ; Cr =332,2 ; Cu =190,5 ; Ni=274,6 ; Pb =82,5 ; Zn =1284,2 mg/ kg) para segunda amostra, resultados estes inferiores aos descritos pela CETESB para amostras de lodo da mesma estação de tratamento. Dada uma potencial utilização deste material como adubo agrícola, foi determinada a fração disponível destes metais. Com exceção do níquel (25%), uma fração pequena dos metais estudados encontra-se na forma assimilável pelas plantas (< 20%), com base no procedimento descrito pela EMBRAPASolos (extração com DTPA). Os efeitos de uma eventual utilização de composto húmico mineral (CHM) como aditivo ao lodo, visando uma redução na fração assimilável de metais, foi estudada em função da quantidade de CHM aplicado e do pH da solução final. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que o CHM possui um poder de complexação para os metais semelhante ao do DTPA e que, sua aplicação ao lodo de esgoto, teria, na realidade um efeito de potencializar a fração disponível de certos metais como o zinco.
Based on the EPA-3050B procedure, the concentration of metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) in sludge source at CETESB studied. Two samples were analyzed and the results obtained were (Cd =3,4 ; Cr =367,5 ; Cu =263,0 ; Ni=290,6 ; Pb =91,5 ; Zn =1324,9 mg/ kg) and (Cd =3,0 ; Cr =332,2 ; Cu =190,5 ; Ni=274,6 ; Pb =82,5 ; Zn =1284,2 mg/ kg). These concentrations were below those descried by SABESP for sludge samples measured in the same treatment station. Due to the potential utilization of these materials as manure in agriculture, the disposal fraction of these metals was determined. Except nickel (25%), a little fraction of metals studied is assimilated by plants (< 20%), base on the procedure already descried by EMBRAPA- Solos (extraction with DTPA). The effect of an eventual utilization to humic mineral compound (HMC), as additive in sludge, aiming the reduction of the assimilated fraction of metals, were studied in function of both, the amount of HMC applied and the final pH of the solution. The results obtained showed that HMC has a complexation potential for metals similar to DTPA and that, its application in sludge, has in fact, a potential effect on the disposal fraction of metals such as zinc.

This work had the aim of studying the behavior of coffee plants, comparing the sewage sludge, corral manure and mineral fertilization usage, evaluating the plants development, soil fertility alterations and plants nutritional state, as well the accumulation of heavy metal which could reach biotoxic concentrations for the soil and plants treated with the different doses of sewage sludge. The experiment had been installed in 20 liters vases filled with RED LATOSSOIL. It had been used Tupi Coffee, ancestry IAC 1669-33 as indicator plant. The experiment had been constituted of 9 treatments and 8 replications, totaling 72 plants. The biometrics parameters of plants had been evaluated in each 2 months, as plants height, cop diameter. After 12 months, the chemical compound of physiological mature leaves had been evaluated, aiming to determine N, P, Ca, Mg, S, Cu, Fe, Mn Zn, Mo and the heavy metals As, Cd, Cr, Hg, Ni, Pb and Se. In the same period, soil samples had been removed from the plots, in which 4 simple samples had been homogenized, dried in air and sifted, and later, compound samples had been removed to determine the nutrients. The averages of the characteristics had been evaluated by the variation analysis chart (ANAVA) and multiple linear regression and compared by the Tukey Test, with 5% significance level. The results prove the efficiency of sewage sludge to provide nutrients to coffee plants, mainly N, P, Ca, Mg, Mo, Cu, Zn and reduce the active and potential acidity of soils. The pH elevation and organic material tenors increase provided by the sewage sludge and corral manure treatments conduced a smaller mobility of heavy metals in soils and leaves, 4 not reaching critical levels to the environment or to the coffee plants.

O presente trabalho teve por objetivo estudar as modificações de propriedades químicas e agregação de um Latossolo Vermelho de Cerrado, sob manejo com adubação orgânica e/ou mineral e com diferentes sistemas de cultivo. O experimento foi realizado na área experimental da Universidade Estadual Paulista - UNESP, localizada no município de Selvíria, MS, nos anos agrícolas 2003/04 e 2004/05. Os tratamentos constaram de três sistemas de cultivo do solo (convencional; cultivo mínimo e semeadura direta) e seis adubações (testemunha - sem adubação; adubação mineral-70 kg ha-1 de P2O5 e 80 kg ha-1 de K2O; adubação orgânica - esterco bovino-20 Mg ha-1; u adubação orgânica (esterco bovino)+ u da adubação mineral recomendada; 20 e 30 Mg ha-1 de lodo de esgoto). A agregação do solo foi modificada após 2 anos, sendo que os manejos com semeadura direta e cultivo mínimo apresentaram os melhores resultados, quanto aos adubos mineral e orgânicos, estes se destacaram em relação a testemunha. Para a massa de 100 grãos a utilização de adubos minerais e orgânicos proporcionou melhores resultados em comparação a testemunha, no entanto, para a produtividade foram semelhantes. Para produção de massa seca de sorgo o cultivo convencional foi melhor do que a semeadura direta e, o cultivo mínimo foi semelhante a ambos.
The present work had for objective to study the modifications of chemical properties and of the aggregation of a soil after two years of management with organic manuring and/or mineral under different preparation systems. The experiment was carried out in Selvíria, state of the Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, during the agricultural years of 2003/04 and 2004/05. The treatments were: Conventional-tillage, chisel tillage and no-tillage besides six manurings: control (no manuring), manuring mineral, organic manure, organic+mineral, 20 and 30 Mg ha-1 of sewage sludge. After two years of the application of the fertilizers, organic and/or mineral, an improvement was observed in the chemical properties of the soil in comparison with initial analysis. Regarding the aggregate stability of the soil, organic fertilizers and/or minerals and no-till and the minimum cultivation provided a better aggregation of the soil. To weight of 100 soybean grains there was significant difference try use of organic and mineral fertilization; however it was not observed for the production. To dry matter of sorghum the conventional preparation presented the largest values compared to the no-till and, the minimum preparation was similar the both.

As plantações sustentáveis e de alta produtividade de espécies de eucalipto podem contribuir para a solução dos desafios ligados a oferta de madeira para os diversos segmentos industriais, bem como os de ordem ambiental e social existentes no Brasil e no mundo. As pesquisas experimentais têm demonstrado que as fertilizações mineral e orgânica (biossólidos) aumentam a taxa de crescimento das árvores de eucalipto sendo, contudo, escassas as informações sobre as propriedades da madeira. A partir de dois experimentos de campo instalados na Estação Experimental de Itatinga-SP, foram realizadas avaliações da dinâmica do crescimento em diâmetro do tronco e das propriedades anatômicas e físicas do lenho de árvores de Eucalyptus grandis. As árvores de eucalipto foram plantadas no espaçamento de 3x2 m e fertilizadas com nitrogênio (plantio, 6, 12, 18 meses) e lodo de esgoto (plantio, 8 meses) no Experimento A e potássio e sódio (plantio, 6, 12 meses) no Experimento B. Nos dois experimentos foram selecionadas, de acordo com as classes de área basal, as árvores de eucalipto com idade de 22 meses e instaladas faixas dendrométricas para o monitoramento do incremento em diâmetro do tronco no período de fevereiro de 2006 a janeiro de 2007. Árvores de eucalipto selecionadas em classes de área basal foram cortadas com a idade de 24 meses e coletadas amostras do lenho em diferentes porcentagens da sua altura total. De cada tratamento, foram analisadas as propriedades anatômicas e físicas da madeira, sendo (i) variação radial das dimensões das fibras, vasos e da densidade aparente do lenho por densitometria de raios X e (ii) variação longitudinal da densidade básica do lenho. Nos dois experimentos detectou-se o efeito da sazonalidade climática no incremento em diâmetro do tronco das árvores, com períodos de máximo (fevereiromaio) e de mínimo (julho-agosto) crescimento. Foram, também, encontradas diferenças significativas entre os tratamentos de fertilização e as classes de área basal das árvores para o crescimento e para alguns parâmetros de densidade do lenho e dimensões das fibras e vasos. O modelo de variação da densidade aparente do lenho se caracterizou por valores elevados na região da medula, decrescendo e estabilizando em direção a casca. A densidade básica do lenho decresceu e/ou estabilizou da base até 25% da altura das árvores; aumentou entre 25 e 75% da altura e decresceu até o topo. A variação radial (medula-casca) foi caracterizada pelo aumento da largura, diâmetro do lume e comprimento e a diminuição da espessura da parede celular das fibras e pelo aumento do diâmetro tangencial e da área ocupada e redução da freqüência dos vasos.
The sustainable and high productivity plantations of eucalyptus species can contribute to the solution of the challenges regarding the wood for the several industrial sectors, as well as the environmental and social aspects in Brazil and in the world. The researches experimental have been demonstrating that the mineral and organic fertilizations (biosolids) increase the growth rate of the eucalypt trees being, however, scarce the information on the wood properties. From two field experiments installed in the Experimental Station of Itatinga-SP, evaluations were done one the growth dynamics in of trees diameter and the anatomical and physical wood properties of Eucalyptus grandis. The eucalypt trees were planted in the spacing 3x2 m and fertilized with nitrogen (planting, 6, 12, 18 months) and sewage sludge (planting, 8 months) in the Experiment A and potassium and sodium (planting, 6, 12 months) in the Experiment B. In the two experiments were selected, according with the classes of basal area, the eucalypt trees with 22 months old and installed dendrometer bands for the monitoring of the increment in trees diameter from February 2006 to January 2007. Eucalypt trees selected in classes of basal area were cut with 24 months old and wood samples were collected in different % of the total height. The anatomical and physical wood properties were analyzed, being (i) the radial variation of the fibers, vessels and the wood apparent density by of X-ray densitometry and (ii) longitudinal variation of the wood basic density. In the two experiments the effect of the climatic seasonality was detected in increment of the trees diameter, with laugher grow periods (February-May) and lower periods (July- August). Significant differences between the treatments and classes of basal area of the trees for the growth and some parameters of wood density and fibers and vessels were also detected. The model of variation of the wood apparent density was elevated near to pith and decreased/stabilizes in bark direction. The wood basic density decreased and/or it stabilized of the base until 25%; increased up to 75% and decreased up to 100% of the trees height. The radial variation was characterized by the increase of the width, lumen diameter and length and the decrease of the cell wall thickness of the fibers and for the increase of the tangential diameter and the area and reduction of the frequency of the vessels.

Carbonation is a natural phenomenon for concrete structures and occurs due to the reaction between CO2, which is concentrated in the environment, and Ca(OH)2, which is present in the cementitious matrix. Carbonation reaction reduces the pH of the concrete and causes the destruction of the passivation layer, which surrounds the steel armor, leaving it vulnerable to the process of corrosion. In this study, was investigated the performance against the carbonation of concrete with the addition of water treatment plant sludge ashes, in concentrations of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30% replacing Portland cement, as well as a reference blend without mineral admixtures. All mixtures were molded with three w/b ratios (0.35; 0.50 and 0.65) and with two periods of wet cure (three and seven days). Concrete specimens underwent preconditioning according to RILEM TC 116-PCD, targeting the moisture balance (75% ± 2%) in an aerial environment with constant temperature (23° C ± 2° C) and uniform moisture distribution. Afterwards, specimens were forwarded to a carbonation chamber, with humidity (75 ± 2%), temperature (23°C ± 2° C) and CO2 concentration (3%) duly regulated. Specimens were tested after 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks of CO2 exposure through phenolphthalein spraying, the depths of carbonation is obtained and, therefore, the carbonation coefficients. Results revealed that the incorporation of water treatment plant sludge ashes into concrete leads to increases in its carbonation, in all mixtures investigated. Comparisons with the results for Porosimetry by Mercury Intrusion and Thermogravimetry enable attribute this effect to the microstructural change and decrease of alkalinity of the mixture with addition of sludge ash. Through an analysis of equal resistance, it was found that concrete with addition of sludge ash water treatment are feasible, from the point of view of carbonation's lifespan, only to higher strength levels.
A carbonatação é um fenômeno natural às estruturas de concreto, ocorrendo pela reação entre o CO2, concentrado no ambiente, e o Ca(OH)2, presente na matriz cimentícea. A reação de carbonatação provoca a redução do pH do concreto, causando a destruição da camada passivadora, que envolve a armadura de aço, deixando esta vulnerável ao processo de corrosão. Nesta pesquisa, foi investigado o desempenho, frente à carbonatação, de concretos com adição de cinzas de lodo de estação de tratamento de água, nos teores de 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% e 30% em substituição ao cimento Portland, bem como uma mistura de referência, sem adições minerais. Todas as misturas foram moldadas com três relações a/agl (0,35; 0,50 e 0,65) e com dois períodos de cura úmida (três e sete dias). Os corpos-de-prova de concreto foram submetidos à um pré-condicionamento, conforme procedimentos sugeridos pela norma RILEM TC 116-PCD, visando o equilíbrio de umidade (75% ± 2%) em um ambiente aéreo com temperatura constante (23°C ± 2°C) e distribuição uniforme de umidade. Posteriormente os corpos-de-prova foram encaminhados para uma câmara de carbonatação, com umidade (75% ± 2%), temperatura (23°C ± 2°C) e concentração de CO2 (3%) devidamente reguladas. Os corpos-de-prova foram ensaiados após 4, 8, 12 e 16 semanas de exposição ao CO2, por meio de aspersão de fenolftaleína, sendo obtidas as profundidades de carbonatação e, com isso, os coeficientes de carbonatação. Os resultados demonstraram que a incorporação de cinzas de lodo de estação de tratamento de água ao concreto acarreta no aumento da carbonatação nos mesmos, para todas as misturas investigadas. Comparações com resultados de Porosimetria por Intrusão de Mercúrio e Termogravimetria permitiram atribuir este efeito às alterações microestruturais e a diminuição da reserva alcalina das misturas com adição de cinzas de lodo. Através de uma análise em igualdade de resistência, constatou-se que os concretos com adição de cinzas de lodo de estação de tratamento de água são viáveis, do ponto de vista da vida útil frente à carbonatação, apenas para níveis de resistência mecânica mais altos.

O lodo de esgoto (LE) aplicado em solos de florestas plantadas, com base no critério do nitrogênio, pode aumentar a produção de madeira sem causar danos ao ambiente florestal. Entretanto, há necessidade de pesquisas para avaliar o aproveitamento dos nutrientes contidos no LE e para recomendar um manejo adequado em relação a sua aplicação no solo complementada pela fertilização mineral, considerando-se os aspectos de produtividade e econômico. Assim, objetivou-se analisar o efeito das combinações de doses de LE e de fertilizante mineral nitrogenado e fosfatado sobre a produção de biomassa seca e de volume de madeira de Eucalyptus grandis após 95 meses do uso do lodo, e avaliar a viabilidade econômica da recomendação de LE e de sua complementação com adubo mineral nitrogenado e fosfatado para o produtor florestal. O experimento foi instalado em área comercial da Suzano, em Angatuba-SP, aplicando-se doses de lodo (0; 7,7; 15,4 e 23,1 Mg ha-1, base seca), e de fertilizante mineral nitrogenado (0; 46,9; 95,1 e 142 kg ha-1), fosfatado (0; 27,7; 55,9 e 84 kg ha-1, P2O5), e potássico (175 kg ha-1 de K2O para todos os tratamentos, devido ao baixo teor deste nutriente no lodo); em delineamento em blocos ao acaso, em esquema fatorial 4x4x4, totalizando 128 parcelas. Para o objetivo específico do presente estudo, efeito das doses de lodo, foram tomadas aleatoriamente combinações de doses de N e P e dentre dessas foram estudadas todas as doses de LE aplicadas, totalizando 52 parcelas. A produção de biomassa seca e de madeira, calculada pela equação de Smalian, foram determinadas a partir de medidas coletadas aos 95 meses após 8 anos do plantio do eucalipto. Os valores de receita e de custos foram levantados no ano de referência de 2013. Para a avaliação da viabilidade econômica, utilizou-se o método do valor presente líquido anualizado (VPLA), considerando-se taxas de juros de 6 e 12% ao ano e que o produtor florestal arcaria com 0 ou 100% do custo do transporte do LE. Houve efeito linear das doses de LE sobre a produção de biomassa seca de lenho, casca, folha e galho e de volume de madeira. O LE na dose de 23,1 Mg ha-1 de LE, equivalente a 150% da dose de LE recomendada pelo critério do nitrogênio, propiciou a maior produção de matéria seca total, 187 Mg ha-1, e de tronco, 173 Mg ha-1 e de volume, 529 m3 ha-1, com incremento médio anual de 66 m3 ha-1 ano-1. Ao considerar o critério para a aplicação de LE, com base em N, e que o produtor florestal arcou com todo o custo de transporte deste resíduo, observou-se que o tratamento com maior retorno econômico foi o que utilizou a dose de 15, 4 Mg ha-1 de LE e 84 kg ha-1 P2O5 a taxas de juros de 6% a.a.; e aquele que aplicou 7,7 Mg ha-1 de LE e 28 kg ha-1 P2O5 a taxas de juros de 12% a.a. Quando o produtor florestal foi isento do custo de transporte do LE, o tratamento mais viável economicamente foi o que usou doses de 15,4 Mg ha-1 de LE e 84 kg ha-1 P2O5 para taxas de juros de 6 e 12% a.a.
The sewage sludge (SS) applied in planted forest soils, based on the nitrogen criterion, may increase the production of wood without causing damage to the forest environment. However, there is a need for research to evaluate the use of nutrients contained in the SS and to recommend appropriate management regarding for its application on soil using mineral fertilizer supplements by aspects of productivity and economic. The objective were to analyze the effect of combinations of sewage sludge doses and nitrogen and phosphate mineral fertilizer on the production on dry matter content and wood production of Eucalyptus grandis at 95 months after planting, and to evaluate the economic viability of SS recommendation and its complementation with nitrogen and phosphate mineral fertilizer for the forest producer. The experiment was installed in a commercial area of Suzano, in Angatuba-SP, sludge doses are applying (0, 7.7, 15.4 and 23.1 Mg ha-1, dry base), and nitrogen mineral fertilizer (0; 46.9; 95.1 and 142 kg ha-1), phosphate (0, 27.7, 55.9 and 84 kg -1 P2O5), and potassium (175 kg ha-1 K2O for all treatments, due to the low content of this nutrient in SS); in a randomized block design in a factorial 4x4x4. For the specific purpose of this study, combinations were taken in doses of N and P and among all these SS doses were studied. The production of dry matter and wood, calculated by equation Smalian were determined from measurements collected at 95 months post-planting eucalyptus. The revenue and cost values were raised in the reference year 2013. For the evaluation of the economic viability, we used the method of annualized net present value (ANPV), considering 6 and 12% per year discount rates and that the forest producer would bear 0 or 100% of the cost of transport of sewage sludge. There was a linear effect of SS doses on the production of dry biomass of wood, bark, leaf and branches and wood volume. The dose of 23.1 Mg ha-1 SS, equivalent to 150% of SS dose recommended by the criterion nitrogen, provided the highest total dry matter, 187 Mg ha-1, and wood+bark of 173 Mg ha-1 and stem volume of 529 m3 ha-1, with average annual increment of 66 m3 ha-1 yr -1. When considering the criterion to the application of SS, based on N, and the forestry producer has borne all the shipping cost of this waste, it was observed that the highest economic return treatment was that using a dose of 15.4 Mg ha- 1 SS and 84 kg ha-1 P2O5 to 6% per year discount rate; and one that applied 7.7 Mg ha-1 SS and 28 kg ha-1 P2O5 to the interest discount rate to 12% per year rate. When the forest producer was exempted to pay the SS shipping cost, the most economically viable treatment was what used 15.4 Mg ha-1 doses of SS and 84 kg ha-1 P2O5 to 6 and 12% per year discount rates

Os novos paradigmas no setor agrícola almejam a busca por alternativas de maior equilíbrio à entrada e saída de energia do ecossistema. Há muita discussão quanto a reciclagem de lodo de esgoto (LE) pela aplicação no solo, seja pelos aspectos positivos, como fonte de nutrientes às plantas, em especial o fósforo, e condicionador de solo, ou pelos aspectos negativos, com a presença de metais pesados, compostos orgânicos tóxicos e patógenos. Nesta pesquisa foram realizados dois estudos. No primeiro, em Itatinga-SP, objetivou-se avaliar o efeito residual de lodos de esgoto úmido (LU) e lodo seco (LS), aplicados por ocasião do plantio do eucalipto na 1ª rotação de cultivo, nas doses de 10, 20 e 30 t ha 1, sobre a fertilidade do solo (LVAd), a nutrição mineral, a produtividade e nos teores e acúmulos de metais pesados no solo e nos compartimentos aéreos de plantas de eucalipto, aos 45 meses de idade, durante a 3a rotação de cultivo, cerca de 12 anos do resíduo no solo. No segundo, em Itatinga e Angatuba-SP, objetivou-se avaliar a qualidade do solo quanto aos teores de metais pesados em áreas tratadas com diferentes tipos e doses de LE e cultivadas com plantas de eucalipto, entre 10 a 17 anos do resíduo no solo (LVAd, LVd e RQo). Os LEs foram oriundos de ETEs de Jundiaí-SP, Barueri-SP e São Paulo-SP. Em ambos os estudos, os tratamentos foram: fertilização mineral (FM), controle e doses e tipos de LE. Os delineamentos foram em bloco ao acaso, com 8 tratamentos e 3 repetições, no primeiro, e com 5 tratamentos e 4 repetições. Os resultados do primeiro estudo demonstram que houve efeito residual de LU e LS em relação ao manejo de FM, principalmente, em doses mais altas, no aumento da fertilidade do solo (sobretudo, MO, SB, CTC, P, Ca, S, Cu e Zn), nutrição mineral e estoque de nutrientes (em destaque, P, Ca, Cu e Zn), produção (volume de madeira, biomassa aérea e de folhedo depositado no solo) e os teores de metais pesados (As, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb, Se e Zn) não evidenciaram contaminação do solo e nem toxicidade ao eucalipto. No segundo, houve efeito residual de LE em relação ao manejo de FM nos atributos do solo e nos teores de metais pesados, principalmente, em doses mais altas. Ainda no segundo estudo, de modo geral, houve efeito residual dos LEs no aumento de MO, SB, H+Al, CTC e V% e os teores de As, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb, Se e Zn no solo, em geral, permaneceram abaixo dos valores de prevenção. Todavia, houve relação entre as doses de aplicação do lodo e os teores de metais pesados no solo, ou seja, quanto maior a dose, maiores foram os teores residuais dos metais pesados, sendo tal efeito, mais incrementado nos solos arenosos. Concluiu-se que há efeito residual de LE em relação ao manejo de fertilização mineral com aumento da fertilidade, nutrição, produtividade e os teores de metais pesados não evidenciaram contaminação do solo e nem toxidez no eucalipto
The new paradigms in the agricultural sector aim to search for alternatives with more balance to the input and output of energy in the ecosystem. There is a lot of discussion about the recycling of sewage sludge (SS), for the positive aspects, as a source of plant nutrients, especially phosphorus, and soil conditioner, as well as for the negative aspects, such as the presence of heavy metals, organic toxic compounds and pathogens. Two studies were carried out in this research. In the first, at Itatinga-SP, the objective was to evaluate the residual effect of humid sewage sludge (HS) and dry sludge (DS), both applied to a eucalyptus plantation in the first rotation with the doses of 10, 20, 30 t ha-1, on the soil fertility (LVAd), mineral nutrition, productivity and amount and accumulation of heavy metals in both the soil and aboveground compartments of the eucalyptus, at 45 month age, during the 3rd rotation, with around 12 years of residues in the soil. In the second study, at Itatinga and Angatuba-SP, the objective was to evaluate the quality of the soil regarding to heavy metals contents in areas treated with different types and doses of SS and cultured with eucalyptus trees, with 10-17 years of residues in the soil (LVAd, LVd e RQo). The used SS came from the sewage treatment plant of Jundiaí-SP, Barueri-SP e São Paulo-SP, respectively. In both studies the treatments were; mineral fertilization (MF), control and doses and types of SS. The experimental design was in randomized blocks, with 8 treatments and 3 replicates, in the first, and with 5 treatments and 4 repetitions, in the second. The results from the first study showed that there was residual effect of both HS and DS in comparison with MF, especially in high doses, in the increase of soil fertility (mainly OM, SB, CTC, P, Ca, S, Cu and Zn), mineral nutrition and the stock of nutrients (mainly P, Ca, Cu e Zn), production (wood, aboveground biomass and litterfall) and heavy metal contents (As, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb, Se and Zn) did not showed soil pollution nor toxicity for eucalyptus. In the second study, there was residual effect of SS in comparison with MF when we observed soil properties and heavy metal contents, especially in high doses. Also in the second study, there was a residual effect of SS in the increase of OM, SB, H+Al, CEC and V% e the contents of As, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb, Se and Zn in the soil that, in general, were below the values of prevention. There was also relation between the doses of SS and the contents of soil heavy metals, i.e, the higher the dose, the higher the contents of residual heavy metals. This effect was higher in sandy soils. It was concluded that there was a residual effect of SS in comparison with MF with an increase in soil fertility, nutrition, productivity. Heavy metal contents did not showed soil pollution nor toxicity for eucalyptus

One way to reduce the concentration of waste through composting is being considered as an alternative privileged treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the compostability of industrial waste through monitoring of chemical parameters. The experiment was conducted at the Agricultural Sciences College, School of Agronomy, located in Campus II, Universidade do Oeste Paulista UNOESTE in Presidente Prudente/SP. For treatments we used the residue of an industrial company in the oilochemical, properly characterized chemically before the mixtures. The treatments were arranged in compost piles and characterized as follow way: (T1) = Test, (T2) = 75% Proportion of Principal residue + 25% Sewage Sludges (ETE) (3:1), (T3) = Proportion of 50% of the residue Principal + 50% Sewage Sludges (ETE) (1:1), (T4) = 25% Proportion of Principal residue + 75% of Sewage Sludges (ETE) (1:3) , (T5) = 75% Proportion of Principal residue + 25% Mineral Fertilizer (3:1), (T6) = 50% Proportion of Principal residue + 50% Mineral Fertilizer (1:1), (T7) = 25% Proportion of Principal residue + 75% Mineral Fertilizer (1:3), (T8 = 75% Proportion of Principal residue + 25% Farmyard Manure natural; (T9) = 50% Proportion of Principal residue l + 50% Proportion of Principal residue; (T10) = 25% Proportion of Principal residue + 75% Farmyard Manure natural . The samples were dried at 65 ° C for 72 hours, after that it was grinded to determine the following parameters: electrical conductivity (EC) in relation to water, pH CaCl2 0.01 mol L-1, Moisture (%) of the samples removed 65ºC; Relation C/N; Content of Organic Matter (MOT) and total C. The results were submitted to analysis of variance and mean comparison test F at 5% probability, and where relevant treatment effects were evaluated by applying the polynomial regression models. The best model to fit the data was selected based on the significance degree of the coefficient of determination (R²). The data obtained showed that composting is a technique which may be effective in the treatment of waste from the oil industry, which requires the addition of inoculum and nutrients to provide the necessary conditions for microbial activity, the proportion of 25 RI% + 75% of LE. It was considered as a treatment which obtained an important result given the difficult to composting RI, that the period of 120 days was not enough to transform into compost humified and the addition of mineral fertilizer provided no significant effect.
Uma das formas de reduzir a concentração de resíduos é através da compostagem, sendo considerada como uma alternativa privilegiada de tratamento. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a compostabilidade de um resíduo industrial através do monitoramento de parâmetros químicos. O experimento foi conduzido na Faculdade de Ciências Agrárias, do Curso de Agronomia, localizada no Campus II, na Universidade do Oeste Paulista - UNOESTE, em Presidente Prudente/SP. Para os tratamentos, utilizou-se o resíduo industrial de uma empresa do setor de oleoquímica, devidamente caracterizado quimicamente antes da efetivação das misturas. Os tratamentos foram dispostos em pilhas de compostagem e caracterizados da seguinte forma: (T1) = Testemunha; (T2) = Proporção de 75% do Resíduo Principal + 25% de Lodo de Esgoto (ETE) (3:1); (T3) = Proporção de 50% do Resíduo Principal + 50% de Lodo de Esgoto (ETE) (1:1); (T4) = Proporção de 25% do Resíduo Principal + 75% de Lodo de Esgoto (ETE) (1:3); (T5) = Proporção de 75% do Resíduo Principal + 25% de Fertilizante Mineral (3:1); (T6) = Proporção de 50% do Resíduo Principal + 50% de Fertilizante Mineral (1:1); (T7) = Proporção de 25% do Resíduo Principal + 75% de Fertilizante Mineral (1:3); (T8) = Proporção de 75% do Resíduo Principal + 25% Esterco de Curral in natura; (T9) = Proporção de 50% do Resíduo Principal + 50% Esterco de Curral in natura; (T10) = Proporção de 25% do Resíduo Principal + 75% Esterco de Curral in natura. As amostras coletadas foram secas à 65 oC durante 72 horas e depois moídas para a determinação dos seguintes parâmetros: Condutividade elétrica (Ce) em água na relação; pH em CaCl2 0,01 mol L-1, Umidade (%) das amostras eliminada à 65oC; Relação C/N, Teor de Matéria Orgânica Total (MOT) e C total. Os resultados foram submetidos à análise de variância e ao teste de comparação de médias F ao nível de 5% de probabilidade e, quando pertinente os efeitos dos tratamentos foram avaliados aplicando-se os modelos de regressão polinomial. O melhor modelo para o ajuste dos dados foi escolhido em função do grau de significância do coeficiente de determinação (R2). De acordo com os dados obtidos verificou-se que a compostagem é uma técnica que poderá ser eficiente no tratamento do resíduo proveniente da indústria oleoquímica, sendo necessária, a adição de inoculantes e nutrientes que forneçam condições necessárias para a atividade microbiana; a proporção de 25% do RI + 75% de LE, foi considerada como um tratamento que obteve um resultado relevante diante da dificuldade de compostagem do RI; que o período de 120 dias não foi suficiente para transformação em composto humificado e a adição de fertilizante mineral não proporcionou efeito significativo.

Abstract Paper recycling is an ecological strategy for disposing of waste paper, but more importantly, recovered paper is an important source of raw material in the paper and board industry. Deinked pulp production from recovered paper has proved economically viable by comparison with virgin fibre pulp manufacturing, but this viability is now threatened by increasing waste disposal costs, as up to 25% of the raw material available for deinked pulp production can end up in the reject streams, which then have to be disposed of. The most common practice at present is incineration and disposal of the resulting ash in landfills, but tightening legislation has meant that landfills have become very expensive and are likely to be completely banned in the near future. Thus new ways have to be sought for managing the waste problem in deinked pulp production in order to ensure that the recycled paper production remain both economically and environmentally feasible. The aim of this thesis was to study means of improving the material efficiency of a deinked pulp mill without excessively detracting from end product quality or the performance of the combined sludge dewatering stage. First, an analytical procedure was developed for determining the utilisation potential of reject streams, and a considerable potential for material recovery from these streams was identified. The results presented here show that 80% of the most valuable long fibres from the fine-screening rejects and 15% of the fine material from the flotation froth reject can be recovered. Altogether, with the simultaneous recovery of both categories of reject, it would be possible to improve the material efficiency at the deinked pulp mill by a total of about 5 percentage units, which can be considered significant for process efficiency. Moreover, this would enable the fibre content of the combined sludge to be kept above a certain limit, so that the combined sludge dewatering properties would not be affected. Consequently, the results presented in this thesis provide several widely applicable means for improving the resource efficiency of a deinked pulp mill
Tiivistelmä Paperin kierrätys uusiksi paperituotteiksi on ympäristöystävällinen tapa jätepaperin käsittelemiseksi. Uusiomassan valmistus on myös taloudellisesti kannattavaa verrattuna paperimassan valmistukseen neitseellisistä raaka-aineista. Taloudellinen kannattavuus on kuitenkin vaarassa jätemaksujen alati kasvaessa, sillä siistausmassan valmistuksessa jopa 25 % kierrätyspaperiraaka-aineesta päätyy jätejakeisiin, jotka hävitetään yleisesti polttamalla ja läjittämällä syntynyt tuhka kaatopaikalle. Lainsäädäntö on rajoittanut kaatopaikkasijoittamista ja se on nykyään hyvin kallista. Tulevaisuudessa jätteiden kaatopaikkasijoittaminen voi olla jopa täysin kiellettyä. Jäteongelman ratkaisemiseen tarvitaan siis uusia menetelmiä, jotta kierrätyspaperin valmistus säilyisi sekä taloudellisista että ympäristöllisistä näkökulmista kannattavana toimintana. Tämän väitöskirjatyön tavoitteena oli etsiä keinoja parantaa siistausmassan valmistuksen resurssitehokkuutta palauttamalla käyttökelpoisia materiaaleja jätevirroista takaisin prosessiin siten, ettei heikennetä lopputuotteen laatua eikä lietteidenkäsittelyprosessin toimintaa. Väitöstyön alussa kehitettiin analyysiproseduuri rejektivirtojen hyötykäyttöpotentiaalin arvioimiseksi ja siistamon rejektijakeissa havaittiin merkittävästi hyödynnettävää materiaalia. Tulokset osoittavat, että 80 % hienolajittelun rejekteissä poistuneista arvokkaista pitkistä kuiduista voidaan palauttaa takaisin prosessiin. Lisäksi flotaation vaahtorejektistä voidaan palauttaa 15 % hienoainetta. Palauttamalla yhtäaikaisesti sekä kuituja hienolajittelun rejekteistä että hienoainetta flotaation vaahtorejektistä, voidaan siistausmassan valmistuksen materiaalitehokkuutta parantaa yhteensä noin 5 prosenttiyksikköä, mikä on merkittävä parannus prosessitehokkuuteen. Kuitujen ja hienoaineen samanaikainen palauttaminen pitää lisäksi lietteiden käsittelyssä seoslietteen kuitupitoisuuden tarpeeksi korkeana, jotta sen vedenerotusominaisuudet säilyvät hyvinä. Tämän tutkimuksen tuloksena löydettiin siis useita laajalti sovellettavissa olevia keinoja siistausmassan valmistuksen resurssitehokkuuden parantamiseksi

Fertilizantes organominerais estão sendo utilizados para atender à necessidade nutricional das plantas e reduzir a dependência em relação aos adubos minerais. Essa prática aperfeiçoa o uso dos nutrientes pelas plantas e melhora a estrutura do solo devido à matéria orgânica presente nesses fertilizantes. Este trabalho teve como objetivo determinar o efeito de fontes de matéria orgânica utilizadas na composição de fertilizantes organominerais e compará-lo com o dos tradicionais adubos minerais no que diz respeito ao desenvolvimento inicial do sorgo. A pesquisa foi conduzida em casa de vegetação da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, no município de Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, Brasil. Para a semeadura, foram utilizadas sementes de sorgo granífero, híbrido simples 1G100. O delineamento experimental foi o de blocos casualizados em esquema fatorial 4 x 3 + 2, sendo os fatores quatro níveis (50, 75, 100 e 125% de 450 kg ha-1, que é a dose recomendada para a cultura), três fontes de matéria orgânica para produção dos organominerais (lodo de esgoto, torta de filtro e turfa), o controle (adubação 100% mineral) e a testemunha (sem adubação). Cada parcela do experimento era composta por quatro plantas divididas em dois vasos. O solo utilizado foi o Latossolo Vermelho. No 30o e 60o dias após a semeadura, foram realizadas análises da altura da planta, diâmetro de caule, clorofila A, clorofila B e área foliar. Ao final desse período, as plantas foram retiradas do solo, e separou-se a parte área para secá-la em estufa de ar forçado e, em seguida, aferir-lhe a massa seca. O uso dos fertilizantes organominerais apresentou médias superiores às do controle e às da testemunha para quase todas as variáveis analisadas no 30o dia – a única exceção foi a variável diâmetro, em relação à qual os organominerais foram superiores apenas à testemunha. O sorgo fertilizado com organominerais continuou apresentando boas médias nas variáveis analisadas no 60o dia: mesmo com a redução da dose, foi possível observar médias similares àquelas encontradas para o controle. Para algumas variáveis, como o diâmetro e a massa seca da parte aérea, houve níveis de organominerais que foram superiores aos do controle e aos da testemunha. Portanto, nas condições e variáveis do presente trabalho, o uso de organominerais é capaz de substituir a adubação mineral no desenvolvimento inicial do sorgo, mesmo com a redução da dose aplicada.
Organo-mineral fertilizers have been used to both meet plants’ nutritional needs and reduce producers’ reliance on mineral fertilizers. This practice improves both the use of nutrients by plants and the soil structure due to the organic matter in these fertilizers. This study aimed to determine the effect of organic matter sources in the composition of organomineral fertilizers and compare it to the effect of traditional mineral fertilizers when it comes to the initial development of sorghum. Research was carried out in a greenhouse at the Federal University of Uberlandia, in Uberlandia, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Sorghum seeds of grain-bearing simple hybrid 1G100 were used in the seeding process. The experiment followed a randomized complete block design in a 4 x 3 + 2 factorial arrangement. Factors included four levels (50, 75, 100 and 125% of 450 kg ha-1, which is the recommended dose for sorghum crops), three organic matter sources in the composition of the organomineral fertilizers (sewage sludge, filter cake, and peat), a control (100% mineral fertilizer), and an untreated check (no fertilizers). Each experimental plot consisted of four plants divided into two pots. Oxisol was used in all pots. Analyses were performed at 30 and 60 days after seeding (DAS) and targeted: plant height, stem diameter, chlorophyll A, chlorophyll B, and leaf area. After this period, plants were removed from the soil, and had their aerial parts isolated to be dried in an air-forced oven before measurement of their dry mass. Means of the organomineral fertilizers outperformed those of both control and untreated check plots in almost all variables at 30 DAS. The only exception was variable stem diameter, in which organomineral fertilizers outperformed untreated check plots only. Sorghum fertilized with organomineral fertilizers also showed positive results in the variables analyzed at 60 DAS: even with dose reduction, their means were similar to those found in control plots. Organomineral fertilizers had higher means in some variables, such as diameter and dry mass of the aerial part, than both control and untreated check plots. In the conditions set in this study and considering the variables herein reported, organomineral fertilizers can substitute mineral fertilizers in the initial development of sorghum, even with some dose reductions.

La phytoextraction est l'utilisation de plantes hyperaccumulatrices pour retirer les métaux toxiques des sols. La thèse était destinée à connaitre le comportement et l'aptitude à extraire les métaux d'un hyperaccumulateur de Zn/Cd, Thlaspi caerulescens, sur différents sols pollués et d'évaluer sa réponse à des pratiques agronomiques. Des semences provenant de deux sites métallifères ont été semées sur divers matériaux pollués et la biomasse et minéralomasse métallique mesurées. Des profils de sols ont été reconstitués en rhizotrons et le développement du système racinaire et les changements de pH rhizosphérique déterminés. La réponse des plantes à la fertilisation N et P et à la présence de plantes compagnes a été étudiée. Des essais en plein champ ont été installés sur un sol agricole recevant une boue urbaine contaminée et sur un sol industriel présentant une pollution organo-minérale. Les résultats montrent que T. Caerulescens peut s'installer sur des matériaux très différents du support d'origine comme une terre agricole, une boue et des terres industrielles. Un niveau de Zn biodisponible trop faible limite la croissance de la plante et augmente le prélèvement de Pb et Cd. Suivant son origine, la plante peut prélever jusqu'a 23 000 mg Zn kg-1 et 2 100 mg Cd kg-1 ms. La fertilisation P a peu d'effet sur la croissance et diminue la phytoextraction. La fertilisation N augmente la production de biomasse et l'extraction des métaux malgré une baisse de la concentration du métal dans les tissus des plus grandes plantes inferieure à celle attendue par l'effet de dilution. Le système racinaire s'installe préférentiellement et montre des changements de morphologie dans les zones polluées ou des variations de pH sont observées. Au champ, les plantes se développent sur sol agricole et industriel dans les conditions climatiques de la lorraine et répondent à la présence de boues par un accroissement de la production de biomasse et du prélèvement des métaux. Des simulations montrent une extraction significative des métaux des sols accompagnée d'une réduction des pools de métaux facilement extractibles. En conclusion, la phytoextraction des métaux avec des hyperaccumulateurs choisis peut être fortement améliorée par des pratiques agronomiques adaptées qui favorisent la production de biomasse sans réduire l'extraction des métaux.

Mine waste from Ljusnarsbergsfältet in Kopparberg, Sweden, is considered to constitute a great risk for human health and the surrounding environment. Some of the waste rock consists of sulphide minerals. When sulphide minerals come into contact with dissolved oxygen and precipitation, oxidation may occur resulting in acid mine drainage (AMD) and the release of heavy metals. The purpose of this study has been to characterise the waste material and try to chemically stabilize the waste rock with a mixture of sewage sludge and calcium carbonate. The drawback of using organic matter is the risk that dissolved organic matter can act as a complexing agent for heavy metals and in this way increase their mobility. An additional study to examine this risk has therefore also been performed.

The project started with a pilot study in order to identify the material fraction that was suitable for the experiment. When suitable material had been chosen, a column test was carried out for the purpose of studying the slurry’s influence on the mobility of metals along with the production of acidity. To clarify the organic material’s potential for complexation a pH-stat batch test was used. Drainage water samples, from the columns, were regularly taken during the experiment. These samples were analysed for pH, electrical conductivity, alkalinity, redox potential, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), sulphate and leaching metals. The effluent from the pH-stat-test were only analysed on a few occasions and only for metal content and change in DOC concentration.

The results from the laboratory experiments showed that the waste rock from Ljusnarsberg easily leached large amounts of metals. The stabilization of the waste rock succeeded in maintaining a near neutral pH in the rock waste leachate, compared to a pH 3 leachate from untreated rock waste The average concentration of copper and zinc in the leachate from untreated waste rock exceeded 100 and 1000 mg/l respectively, while these metals were detected at concentrations around 0.1 and 1 mg/l, respectively, in the leachate from the treated wastes. Examined metals had concentrations between 40 to 4000 times lower in the leachate from treated waste rock, which implies that the stabilisation with reactive amendments succeeded. The long term effects are, however, not determined. The added sludge contributed to immobilise metals at neutral pH despite a small increase in DOC concentration. The problem with adding sludge is that if pH decreases with time there is a risk of increased metal leaching.

Gruvavfallet från Ljusnarsbergsfältet i Kopparberg anses utgöra en stor risk för människors hälsa och den omgivande miljön. En del av varpmaterialet, ofyndigt berg som blir över vid malmbrytning, utgörs av sulfidhaltigt mineral. Då varpen exponeras för luft och nederbörd sker en oxidation av sulfiderna, vilket kan ge upphov till surt lakvatten och läckage av tungmetaller. Syftet med arbetet har varit att karaktärisera varpen och försöka stabilisera den med en blandning bestående av mesakalk och avloppsslam, samt att undersöka risken med det lösta organiska materialets förmåga att komplexbinda metaller och på så vis öka deras rörlighet.

Efter insamling av varpmaterial utfördes först en förstudie för att avgöra vilken fraktion av varpen som var lämplig för försöket. När lämpligt material valts ut utfördes kolonntest för att studera slam/kalk-blandningens inverkan på lakning av metaller, samt pH-statiskt skaktest för att bedöma komplexbildningspotentialen hos det organiska materialet vid olika pH värden. Från kolonnerna togs lakvattenprover kontinuerligt ut under försökets gång för analys med avseende på pH, konduktivitet, alkalinitet, redoxpotential, löst organiskt kol (DOC), sulfat och utlakade metaller. Lakvattnet från pH-stat-testet provtogs vid ett fåtal tillfällen och analyserades endast med avseende på metallhalter och förändring i DOC-halt.

Resultatet från den laborativa studien visade att varpmaterialet från Ljusnarsberg lätt lakades på stora mängder metaller. Den reaktiva tillsatsen lyckades uppbringa ett neutralt pH i lakvattnet från avfallet, vilket kan jämföras med lakvattnet från den obehandlade kolonnen som låg på ett pH kring 3. Medelhalten av koppar och zink översteg under försöksperioden 100 respektive 1000 mg/l i lakvattnet från det obehandlade avfallet, medan halterna i det behandlade materialets lakvatten låg kring 0,1 respektive 1 mg/l. Av de studerade metallerna låg halterna 40-4000 gånger lägre i lakvattnet från den behandlade kolonnen, vilket innebär att slam/kalk-blandningen har haft verkan. Stabiliseringens långtidseffekt är dock okänd. Det tillsatta slammet resulterade inte i någon större ökning av DOC-halten i det pH-intervall som åstadkoms med mesakalken. Utifrån pH-stat-försöket kunde det konstateras att det tillsatta slammet bidrog till metallernas immobilisering vid neutralt pH, trots en liten ökning av DOC-halten. Om en sänkning av pH skulle ske med tidens gång föreligger dock risk för ökat metalläckage.

Compte tenu de l'épuisement en cours des ressources naturelles qui ont lieu dans le monde entier, le prix élevé, la forte demande et la pénurie future des ressources minérales primaires pour Mo, Ni et Co, il est extrêmement important de mettre en œuvre le recyclage des métaux/récupération/réutilisation partir des demi-finis produits, sous-produits, des matériaux secondaires et des déchets, y compris les déchets dangereux (ce est à dire des catalyseurs usés, boues minérales). En outre, il est nécessaire d'utiliser des technologies plus efficaces pour récupérer des métaux à partir de déchets/ressources secondaires afin de minimiser les dépenses en capital, l'impact environnemental et de répondre à l'augmentation de la demande de métal. Parmi les différentes ressources secondaires, les catalyseurs usés et les boues minérales générés aux catalyseurs usés usines de recyclage pourrait être une très bonne ressource secondaire, car ils contiennent des concentrations élevées de métaux différents (en particulier Mo, Ni et Co). Par conséquent, ils doivent être considérés comme une ressource et non comme un déchet. Dans notre étude, nous traitons avec le catalyseur, l'oxyde métallique et le recyclage des piles minérales de la plante boues. Ce type de matériau contient de fortes concentrations de métaux différents. Cependant, au mieux de nos connaissances de spéciation, lixiviation et de récupération des propriétés de ce type de matériel n'ont pas été étudiés auparavant. Boues minérales a été minutieusement caractérisée où le pH, La perte au feu (LOI), Toxicité Caractéristique Lixiviation Procédure (TCLP), Diffraction des rayons X (XRD), Microscopie électronique à balayage (SEM) avec dispersion d'énergie des rayons X spectroscopie (EDS), Total Métal Contenu (TMC) et Extraction Séquentielle (SE) ont été effectuées. Sur la base des résultats de la caractérisation des boues minérales, le taux de lixiviation et les rendements de Mo, Ni et Co à partir de l'échantillon de boue minérale ont été quantifiés. Différents réactifs de lixiviation (autonome acides (nitrique, sulfurique et chlorhydrique) et les mélanges d'acides (eau régale (nitrique + chlorhydrique (1:3)), nitrique + sulfurique (1:1) et nitrique + sulfurique + chlorhydrique (2:1:1)) ont été étudiés à changer les paramètres de fonctionnement (solides ratio liquide, le temps de lixiviation et de la température), afin de comprendre les caractéristiques de lixiviation et sélectionnez le réactif de lixiviation approprié qui permet d'atteindre les plus hauts rendements de lixiviation de métal. Acide sulfurique (H2SO4) a été trouvé d'être le produit de lixiviation avec le potentiel de lixiviation des métaux les plus élevés. Les conditions de lixiviation optimales étaient une lixiviation en trois étapes successives, la température de 80°C, le temps de lixiviation 2 h, et S/L rapport 0.25 g L-1. Dans ces conditions, les rendements de lixiviation à partir de notre échantillon de boue minérale a atteint 85.5, 40.5 et 93.8% pour Mo, Ni et Co, respectivement
In view of the on-going depletion of the natural resources taking place worldwide, the high price, high demand and future shortage of the primary mineral resources for Mo, Ni and Co it is extremely important to implement metals recycling/recovery/reuse from semi-finished products, by-products, secondary materials and wastes, including hazardous waste (i.e. spent catalysts, mineral sludges). Furthermore, there is a need to utilize more efficient technologies to recover metals from wastes/secondary resources in order to minimize capital outlay, environmental impact and to respond to the metal increased demand. Among the different secondary resources, spent catalysts and mineral sludges generated at the spent catalysts recycling plants could be a very good secondary resource, as they contain high concentrations of different metals (especially Mo, Ni and Co). Therefore, they should be viewed as a resource, not as a waste. In our study we are dealing with the catalyst, metallic oxide and battery recycling plant mineral sludge. This type of material contains high concentrations of different metals. However, to the best of our knowledge, speciation, leaching and recovery of Mo, Ni and Co from this type of material were not investigated before. Mineral sludge was minutely characterized where pH, Loss On Ignition (LOI), Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), Total Metal Content (TMC) and Sequential Extraction (SE) were performed. Based on the mineral sludge characterization results the leaching rate and yields of Mo, Ni and Co from mineral sludge sample were quantified. Different leaching reagents (stand-alone acids (nitric, sulfuric and hydrochloric) and acid mixtures (aqua regia (nitric + hydrochloric (1:3)), nitric + sulfuric (1:1) and nitric + sulfuric + hydrochloric (2:1:1)) were investigated at changing operational parameters (solid to liquid ratio, leaching time and temperature), in order to understand the leaching features and select the suitable leaching reagent which achieves the highest metal leaching yields. Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) was found to be the leachant with the highest metal leaching potential. The optimal leaching conditions were a three stage successive leaching, temperature 80°C, leaching time 2 h and S/L ratio 0.25 g L-1. Under these conditions, the leaching yields from our mineral sludge sample reached 85.5, 40.5 and 93.8% for Mo, Ni and Co, respectively

Les poussières (<3 mm) générées chaque année par les industries minières et métallurgiques ont un impact économique et écologique conséquent. Le recyclage de ces matériaux par l’agglomération à froid et sans liant est la meilleure option, mais ces procédés manquent de prédictibilité. La présente étude vise à améliorer cette prédictibilité grâce à une meilleure compréhension des phénomènes.Une caractérisation étendue des propriétés chimiques, physiques et morphologiques a été réalisée sur les matériaux fins généré durant la production d’alliages de ferromanganèse. Une prédiction qualitative a pu être développée selon des considérations théoriques et empiriques. Des tests de compaction uniaxiale ont été réalisés sur des échantillons de bentonite, kaolinite, minerai enrichi et hausmannite pour tester les hypothèses formulées. Ils ont confirmé l’importance de la présence de matériaux en feuillet et/ou qui se déforment de façon plastique. L’ajout d’humidité et l’accroissement de la pression ont une limite maximale d’efficacité, dépendante du matériau. Des tests de modélisation DEM préliminaires ont été réalisés pour estimer l’impact des variation du module d’Young et de la force et la taille des liens sur la force des agglomérés et leur comportement à la cassure
The mining and metallurgical industries produce significant amount of fine materials (<3mm) each year, which bears a high economic and ecological impact. Recycling these materials through cold, binder-free agglomeration is the best course of action, but still lacks predictability. The present study aims increases this predictability through a deeper comprehension of the phenomena. An extensive characterization of the chemical, physical and morphological characteristics of the fine materials generated along the ferromanganese alloy production process was performed. A qualitative prediction of the agglomeration potential of the material was developed based on theoretical and empirical comparisons. Agglomeration experiments using uniaxial compaction were performed on bentonite, kaolinite, enriched ore and hausmannite samples to test the hypothesis formulated. They confirmed the importance of the presence of materials with a layered structure (such as clays) and/or that deform plastically. The moisture addition and the pressure increase have an upper limit of efficiency, depending on the material. Preliminary DEM modelling were performed to assess the impact of the variation of young’s modulus, bond strength and bond size on the simulation of the agglomerate strength and breakage style
