Abstract

The results of this work show:

  1. 1.

    Pb+2 is rapidly immobilized from aqueous solutions using calcite or aragonite, CaCO3, and the Pb+2 is precipitated as PbCO3 (cerussite) on the surface of the CaCO3 (the Pb+2-CaCO3 phases),

  2. 2.

    using CaCO3, the concentration of Pb+2 in certain solutions can be reduced below environmentally tolerated concentrations, and

  3. 3.

    organics present in solutions and natural waters can mobilize Pb+2 from Pb+2-calcite phases; with effluent waters from a paper factory, and 1:1 Ca+2-EDTA being more effective than lignin sulfonates, 1:1 Ca+2-tartrate, soap, detergent, water from a sewage treatment plant, and ordinary river water.

Zusammenfassung

Die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit zeigen, daß:

  1. 1.

    Pb+2 aus wäßrigen Lösungen mit Calcit oder Aragonit, CaCO3, rasch entfernt werden kann, wobei Pb+2 also PbCO3 (Cerussit) an der Oberfläche von CaCO3 (den Pb+2-CaCO3-Phasen) niedergeschlagen wird,

  2. 2.

    sich die Pb+2-Konzentration in bestimmten Lösungen mit CaCO3 unter die nach Ö-Norm erlaubte Grenze senken läßt,

  3. 3.

    organische Substanzen in wäßrigen Lösungen und natürlichen Wässern zunächst in Pb+2-Calcit-Phasen fixiertes Pb+2 wieder mobilisieren können, wobei die Abwässer einer Papierfabrik und 1:1 Ca+2-EDTA stärker wirken als Ligninsulfonate, 1:1 Ca+2-Tartrat, Seife, Waschmittel, Wasser einer Kläranlage und gewöhnliches Flußwasser.
