本研究選擇鉛為污染物,探討在外加電場、水位梯度、緩衝溶液及置放陽離子交換膜的操作條件下,提出了一種包含水力、電力與化學作用的電化學整治法。在單純施加電場下,去除效率仍不彰之因可歸咎於非線性之pH值分布與沉澱物的形成,而解決之關鍵在於陰極pH值的控制。故吾人提出兩種方法,一是阻絕OH-進入試體之路,一是OH-消耗之量。對於前者可以採用陽離子交換膜,後者則可用緩衝溶液,而這兩種方法也顯示了相當不錯的效果。尤其對使用陽離子交換膜者,在20天內施加電場可以使土壤中含鉛殘留量僅剩下10%或更低的比率。證明這種綜合性的電化學處理方法在土壤污染防治方面確為可發展的一項技術。
In this study, lead (Pb) was selected to be the contaminant. The feasibility of the electrochemical treatment for soils contaminated by heavy metals would be promising and effective. The OH will give rise to the immobilization of heavy metals and result in the non-uniform distribution of the electric potential as well as low removal efficiencies. Therefore, the buffer solution and cation exchange membranes were used to consume and interrupte OH , respectively. Thus, the enhancement by using buffer solutions or cation exchange membrane was conducted to avoid the back-migration of the OH generated at the cathode. According to our experimental results, the residual concentration percentage can be reduced to 10% or less after 20-days of treatment by using cation exchange membrane. The results also indicate that high removal efficiencies can be achieved with these enhancements and the feasibility of electrochemical -treatment for soils contaminated by lead has been proven.
