The sulfate removal from acid mine drainage (AMD) water (initial concentration: 5301 mg/L) was investigated by precipitation and/or adsorption using calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)) and synthetic layered double hydroxide (LDH) of the Mg/Al type. The exclusive use of LDH efficiently removed sulfates (64.2% reduction); however, alteration of its structure was observed due to low pH. The use of Ca(OH) in different doses calculated in relation to gypsum stoichiometry allowed to achieve an 86% removal of sulfates. Depending on the equilibrium pH, gypsum or ettringite were the main identified phases. The two-step removal, involving the use of Ca(OH) followed by LDH, was less efficient than the use of the Ca(OH)/LDH mixture when the stoichiometric amount of Ca(OH) in relation to gypsum was applied. The application of mixture resulted in a fast pH increase, which prevented destruction of the LDH structure. Most importantly, the use of mixture significantly reduced the sludge volume and enhanced its settling velocity.
采用氢氧化钙(Ca(OH))和镁铝型合成层状双氢氧化物(LDH),通过沉淀和/或吸附法研究了从酸性矿山排水(AMD)水中去除硫酸盐(初始浓度:5301 mg/L)的情况。单独使用LDH能有效去除硫酸盐(减少64.2%);然而,由于pH值较低,观察到其结构发生了变化。按照石膏化学计量比计算使用不同剂量的Ca(OH),可实现86%的硫酸盐去除率。根据平衡pH值,石膏或钙矾石是主要识别出的物相。当使用与石膏化学计量比的Ca(OH)时,两步去除法(先使用Ca(OH),再使用LDH)的效率低于使用Ca(OH)/LDH混合物的效率。混合物的应用导致pH值快速升高,从而防止了LDH结构的破坏。最重要的是,混合物的使用显著减少了污泥体积并提高了其沉降速度。
