Abstract:
Lead and zinc mine tailings contain a variety of heavy metals, which may leach in certain circumstances and cause serious pollutions. In this work, we investigated the basic characteristics of lead-zinc tailings such as gangue minerals, chemical composition, heavy metal, organic matter content and pH. Based on these results, the leaching behaviors of heavy metal under different pH with and without nano-CeO2 used as adsorbent of heavy metal were researched. The optimal amount of nano-CeO2 and the effects of pH on the adsorption were also studied carefully. It is evident that the dissolution capacity of heavy metal is decreased with the increase of pH. The optimal dosage of nano-CeO2 is 0.5wt% mine tailings. Furthermore, when the pH is in the range of 5-8, nano-CeO2 exhibits high adsorption rate of heavy metal. In this regard, this work provides a solution for reducing the pollution of lead and zinc tailings. © 2017, Chongqing Functional Materials Periodical Press Co. Ltd. All right reserved.
