Study Notes

Minerals & Soil Remediation

Presentation by Dr. Ahmed Ouda, Assoc. Prof. of Applied Inorganic Chemistry, Housing & Building National Research Center
Topics covered include minerals, soil remediation, and pollutants such as atrazine, diesel, petroleum, HCB, Cr6, Cu2, PCP, DBT, PAHs, tetracycline, Cd, Zn2, Pb, and more.
The presentation included a diagram illustrating soil layers and associated chemical components.

Introduction on Minerals

Minerals are the fundamental building blocks of rocks.
Minerals record the formation and history of rocks, and define their physical and chemical characteristics.
Each mineral is characterized by a specific composition, crystal structure, and stability range (pressure and temperature).

Minerals - Properties and Structure

Diamond and graphite are both pure forms of carbon (C).
Diamond possesses a dense, cubic structure, while graphite has a hexagonal structure.
Minerals are diverse, and grouped based on their crystal structure and chemistry.
Examples of mineral chemistry include SiO2, NaCl, Au, K2Al6Si6O20(OH)4 (mica mineral).
Covalent bonds, characterized by shared electrons between atoms, are present in some minerals, such as diamond.
Ionic bonds, where cations and anions attract, are present in other minerals like Halite (NaCl).

Soil

Soil is the unconsolidated material that covers most land.
It consists of inorganic particles and organic matter.
Soil provides support and nutrients to plants.
Soil formation results from weathering, which breaks down rocks and other materials at or near the Earth's surface.
Two main types of weathering are mechanical (physical breakdown) and chemical (chemical reactions).

Physical Characteristics of Soil

Soil texture, color, depth, structure, porosity (space between particles), and stone content are notable physical characteristics.
Examples of soil texture classifications include sand, silt and clay.

Types of Soil

Sandy soil: A poor soil type for plant growth with low nutrients and poor water-holding capacity; however, it is excellent for drainage.
Silt soil: Holds water better than sand and is more fertile, usually found near water bodies.
Clay soil: The smallest particle type, tightly packed, has excellent water storage but poor drainage.
Loamy soil: A combination of sand, silt, and clay, ideal for farming; it balances water and nutrient retention.

Factors Affecting Soil Formation

Weathering (chemical and biological): Rocks, soil, minerals, and even wood decompose due to interactions with the atmosphere, water, and microorganisms.
Temperature: High temperatures cause the expansion of molecules, and low temperatures cause contraction, affecting the breakdown of rocks.
Rainfall: Prolonged rainfall contributes to flash floods and water pressure, causing erosion and breakdown of rocks.
Other factors: Mosses can contribute to the breakdown of rocks through organic processes.

Soil Minerals

Soil minerals are crucial for soil fertility; they serve as storage sites for nutrients.
Varying amounts of soil minerals determine soil fertility.
Multiple soil mineral types exist, diverse in composition and size.
Soil minerals can be categorized as primary (not chemically transformed) and secondary (formed through weathering of primary minerals) minerals.
Examples of primary minerals include silica, silicate, titanomagnetite, apatite, iron minerals, and volcanic gases.

Soil Remediation Plan and Treatment Technologies

Successful soil remediation hinges on sampling, monitoring, model construction, and the remediation process itself.
Remediation strategies frequently involve contaminant elimination/alteration, extraction/separation, and/or immobilization.

Soil Remediation Techniques

In situ methods act directly on polluted sites, without physical relocation of contaminated materials.
Ex situ methods remove the soil to a different location for treatment then return it.

Soil Pollutants and Remediation Measures

Typical soil contaminants often result from industrial activities and improper waste disposal.
Various pollutants, such as microplastics, heavy metals, and agricultural chemicals, pose risks to soil health.

Remediation Methods

Different remediation techniques exist using physical, chemical, and/or biological methods including capping, soil washing, soil replacement, immobilization, encapsulation, and phytoremediation. Techniques often incorporate use of chemicals (such as surfactants and/or detergents) to enhance the process and effectiveness,

Physical-Chemical Techniques of Soil Remediation

Techniques, such as oxidation (using oxidants) and reduction, sedimentation, photolysis, carbon uptake, de-chlorination, steam extraction, and soil dumping, are employed to alter the chemical-physical structure of contaminants for remediation.

Thermal Treatment

High-temperature techniques for treatment, including plasma (a high-temperature ionized gas).

Biological Treatment

Biological processes that involve using microbes and/or plants for biodegradation include aerobic biological processes which use oxygen to degrade organic contaminants, and anaerobic biodegradation which occurs absent oxygen.

Solidification and Stabilization Techniques

Various in situ solidification methods are common to the field including cement, limestone, thermoplastic components.

In Situ Chemical Oxidation (ISCO)

Introduction of oxidants into the subsurface to chemically oxidize organic contaminants.
This approach is effective, but requires thorough site analysis to select the proper oxidants.

Soil Venting

Soil venting is akin to pump-and-treat but operates primarily in the vadose zone, using extracted vapors.
Effectiveness depends on soil permeability, moisture content, depth to groundwater, and soil structure.

Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE)

A process for removing volatile contaminants from soil and groundwater by extracting the vapors.
Involves vapor phase separation from moisture/water, often involving use of carbon adsorption and/or thermal destruction.

Bioremediation

Bioremediation employs microorganisms (typically bacteria, fungi, or others) to break down organic contaminants.
Success relies on factors such as environmental conditions (temperature, oxygen and nutrient availability), and the presence of appropriate microorganisms.

Bioremediation Mechanisms

Microorganisms use organic contaminants either directly as food (metabolization) or indirectly (cometabolism).
Aerobic biodegradation vs. anaerobic biodegradation processes.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Bioremediation

Advantages include sustainability, cost efficiency, and environmental compatibility.
Disadvantages include the unpredictability of results depending on the complex biological systems

Bioremediation Technologies

Some bioremediation technologies for soil include composting, biopiles, bioventing, and land treatment.

Considerations for Successful Bioremediation

Soil moisture and oxygen levels, nutrient balance, suitable microorganisms, and monitoring are critical for effective bioremediation.

Remediation Technology Types

Remediation technologies encompass ex situ, which involves removing soil and ex situ, which works directly on the polluted site.
