溶劑萃取法相對於熱脫附法節能及經濟。汞吸附於土壤除了受於陽離子交換容量大小、土壤中有機質的多寡、土壤的pH值高低及土壤氧化還原電位影響,汞的分布型態也是主要影響因子。 本研究所使用土壤取自某受汞污染場址,探討土壤中汞型態分布對於溶劑萃取汞之影響,使用之萃取劑為0.01 M碘化鉀(KI),且分別在以下5個pH值範圍(pH=0.5~2.77、pH=0.66~3.83、pH=0.76~5.35、pH=1.21~5.80、pH=1.47~6.68)添加2%過氧化氫(氧化還原電位650 mV以上)萃取三次。 結果顯示高濃度汞污染測試土壤(229 mg/kg)在土壤溶液pH=0.5~2.77/0.01 M KI/2%過氧化氫或pH=1.47~6.68/0.01 M KI/2%過氧化氫條件下萃取去除率最高為86%。汞分布主要為離子可交換態為48%,而溶劑萃取對於離子可交換態、碳酸鹽結合態萃取效果最好,在土壤溶液pH=0.5~2.77、pH=0.66~3.83、pH=0.76~5.3三種條件下萃取,去除率皆達90%以上,但若pH再提高,其去除率會隨著pH升高而降低,當土壤pH值小於4及大於7時,亦對汞之有機結合態有良好的萃取效果。
Relative to the thermal desorption, solvent extraction is an energy-conserving and economic technology. The mercury adsorbed on the soil is primarily affected by the cation exchange capacity, organic matter content, pH and oxidation-reduction potential of the soil. The Hg removal could be affected by its species in soils. In this study, the tested soil was taken from a mercury-contaminated site. The effect of mercury speciation in the soil on the solvent extraction efficiency was investigated. The mercury contaminated soil was extracted by the 0.01 M KI solution three times in five pH ranges (pH=0.5~2.77、pH=0.66~3.83、pH=0.76~5.35、pH=1.21~5.80、pH=1.47~6.68) and the addition of 2% H2O2 (to maintain the redox potential of above 650 mV). The Hg concentration in the tested soil is high (229 mg/kg). The Hg removal efficiency is 86% by extraction conditions of soil solution at pH=0.5~2.77/0.01 M KI/2% H2O2 or pH=1.47~6.68/0.01 M KI/2% H2O2 conditions extraction, The mercury speciation in the soil is primarily the ion exchangeable species(48%). The Hg in ion exchangeable and carbonate-bound species has the best extraction efficiency. The extraction at pH=0.5~2.77,pH=0.66~3.83 and pH=0.76~5.38 are above 90%. However, if the pH is further increased, the removal efficiency will decrease. When the extraction pH is less than 4 and more than 7, the Hg of organic-matter-bound species has a good extraction efficiency.
