A series of 24h batch tests of copper extraction from a sandy soil were performed by washing the soil with aqueous solution of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, EDTA. EDTA versus copper molar ratio were in the range between 1 (equimolar tests) and 13.3. The tests were performed at three selected liquid/solid ratio, 5, 12.5 and 25. Results show that decreasing the pH of the washing solution an higher copper extraction yield was achieved: an almost complete copper extraction was achieved after 23 h of mixing at a L/S = 5, and after 5 h of mixing at an L/S = 12.5. The mechanism of copper extraction was found to involve two sequential processes: the former dissolution of metal salts, that lead to an initial high concentration of both copper and some competitive cations (essentially Ca(2+)), and the following EDTA exchange reaction between calcium and copper complexes, which corresponded an increase of pH in the washing solution. A negligible extraction of Fe(3+) was also observed at the investigated operative conditions.
通过用乙二胺四乙酸(EDTA)水溶液洗涤砂土,进行了一系列为期24小时的从砂土中提取铜的批次试验。EDTA与铜的摩尔比在1(等摩尔试验)至13.3之间。试验在三种选定的液固比5、12.5和25下进行。结果表明,降低洗涤溶液的pH值可实现更高的铜提取率:在液固比为5时混合23小时后,以及在液固比为12.5时混合5小时后,几乎可实现完全铜提取。发现铜提取机制涉及两个连续过程:前者是金属盐的溶解,导致铜和一些竞争性阳离子(主要是Ca(2+))的初始高浓度,以及随后钙和铜络合物之间的EDTA交换反应,这对应于洗涤溶液中pH值的增加。在所研究的操作条件下,还观察到Fe(3+)的提取量可忽略不计。
