Title: In situ remediation technologies for mercury-contaminated soil

Abstract

A pollutant that poses significant risks to humans and the environment is mercury from anthropogenic activities. In soils, mercury remediation can be technically challenging and costly, depending on the subsurface mercury distribution, the types of mercury species, and the regulatory requirements. Our paper introduces the chemistry of mercury and its implications for in situ mercury remediation, which is followed by a detailed discussion of several in situ Hg remediation technologies in terms of applicability, cost, advantages, and disadvantages. The effect of Hg speciation on remediation performance, as well as Hg transformation during different remediation processes, was detailed. Thermal desorption, electrokinetic, and soil flushing/washing treatments are removal technologies that mobilize and capture insoluble Hg species, while containment, solidification/stabilization, and vitrification immobilize Hg by converting it to less soluble forms. We also discussed two emerging technologies, phytoremediation and nanotechnology, in this review.

The effect of redox potential on the electrokinetic remediation of mercury contaminated soils

Conference Cox, C; Shoesmith, M; Ghosh, M

An electrokinetic process for remediation of mercury contaminated soils using an iodine-iodide lixiviant was developed. In this process, reduced forms of insoluble mercury are oxidized by iodine. Iodide then reacts with mercury to form the highly soluble HgI{sub 4}{sup 2-} complex, which in turn migrates toward the anode via electromigration. The objective was to determine the thermodynamic conditions under which mercury could be solubilized and transported from the soil. At the end of the electrokinetic treatment process, pH, pE, iodine, iodide, and soluble and total mercury were measured along the length of the soil. The process was tested on amore »« less
Electrokinetic remediation of mercury-contaminated soils using iodine/iodide lixiviant

Journal Article Cox, C; Shoesmith, M; Ghosh, M - Environmental Science and Technology

In-situ remediation of mercury-contaminated soils, by electrokinetic or other means, is difficult because of the low solubility of mercury and its compounds. In this research, enhanced electrokinetic remediation of HgS-contaminated soils using I{sub 2}/I{sup -} lixiviant was investigated using bench-scale electrokinetic cells. The thermodynamic conditions under which the lixiviant could be effective were determined by constructing a pE-pH diagram for the Hg-S-I system. Introduced near the cathode, the lixiviant migrated through the soil to the anode by electromigration. Mercury, released by the oxidation of HgS compounds by I{sub 2}, was complexed as HgI{sub 4}{sup 2-}. The negative complex continued tomore »« less

Mercury contamination in the oil and gas industry

Conference Oberle, W; Warfield, L; Manship, J - AAPG Bulletin (American Association of Petroleum Geologists); (United States)

Mercury contamination of surficial soils and building structures is concern to the oil, natural gas, and utility industries. Spillage from mercury-filled manometers that measure pipeline pressures is a major source of mercury contamination. Because of its chemical characteristics, the mobility of mercury within the soil posed significant health and environmental impacts. Inorganic mercury strongly adsorbs onto fine soil particles and organic matter, readily volatilizes into the atmospheres, and is leachable into aqueous systems. Under acidic conditions or with microbial action, elemental mercury and mercury oxides may transform into the water-soluble organic form, methyl mercury. Soil pH and Cl concentration aremore »« less
Mercury contaminated sediment sites—An evaluation of remedial options

Journal Article Chattopadhyay, Sandip - Environmental Research

Mercury (Hg) is a naturally-occurring element that is ubiquitous in the aquatic environment. Though efforts have been made in recent years to decrease Hg emissions, historically-emitted Hg can be retained in the sediments of aquatic bodies where they may be slowly converted to methylmercury (MeHg). Consequently, Hg in historically-contaminated sediments can result in high levels of significant exposure for aquatic species, wildlife and human populations consuming fish. Even if source control of contaminated wastewater is achievable, it may take a very long time, perhaps decades, for Hg-contaminated aquatic systems to reach relatively safe Hg levels in both water and surfacemore »« less
