Long-term performance of a self-developed MAPG binder stabilized acidic lead contaminated soil under freeze–thaw cycles
摘要
Phosphoric acid-based geopolymer owns a great solidification/stabilization (S/S) effect on acidic Pb2+ contaminated soil, especially the modified phosphoric-based geopolymer (named MAPG) synthesized from fly ash, metakaolin and aluminum dihydrogen phosphate. Nevertheless, the long-term S/S performance of MAPG on the acidic Pb2+ contaminated soil subjected to freeze–thaw (F–T) cycles is not yet investigated. In this article, the long-term S/S performance of MAPG stabilized acidic lead contaminated soil subjected to F–T cycles through many test methods was studied, and a long-term stability evaluation model based on the resistivity index ρ was proposed to reflect the degradation performance of MAPG stabilized acidic Pb2+ contaminated soil subjected to F–T cycles. The results show that the F–T cycles could destroy the stabilized soil structure, causing a mechanical diminution of the stabilized contaminated soil, but the compressive strength still met the strength standard (> 0.35 MPa) after 8 F–T cycles. The stabilized contaminated soil resistivity firstly declined rapidly under 0–4 F–T cycles and then stabilized after 4 F–T cycles. In deionized water, acetic acid and sulfuric acid-nitric acid environments, the MAPG binder had good S/S impact on acidic Pb2+ contaminated soil subjected to F–T cycles, but when the binder dosage was 6%, the Pb2+ leaching after F–T cycle exceeded 5 mg/L (hazardous waste leaching toxicity limit) for the stabilized soil under acetic acid environment. According to the established evaluation model, the service time of MAPG binder stabilized acidic Pb2+ contaminated soil in typical F–T region could reach 100 years. The stabilized contaminated soil pH decreased with a rising F–T cycles times, while electrical conductivity rowed with the raising F–T cycles times with a good relevance. Lead phosphate compounds and berlinite were found in the MAPG stabilized contaminated soil, and F–T cycles could induce the microstructure damage of stabilized contaminated soil.
