Influence of Lead on the Precipitation of Zinc in Synthetic Industrial Wastewater

An efficient procedure of treating municipal solid waste is incineration which enables reduction of the waste volume, and energy recovery during combustion. During this process, fly ashes are produced.

Incineration is an efficient method for energy recovery of municipal solid waste. Usually, the resulting toxic fly ash is disposed of as hazardous waste. Consequently, the metals, mainly Zn, but also Pb, Cu, Hg, Cd, Cr, As, and Ni, which occur in the fly ash, get lost for circular economy. A new procedure called SPOP (specific product oriented precipitation) is a novel energy-efficient way to recover the metals. In this study, we present the effect of Pb on the precipitation of Zn in a model system after applying the SPOP process. For this purpose, four different experiments are carried out with Pb-concentrations varying between 0 - 40% Pb of Zn concentration. Therefore, a synthetic aqueous solution was prepared according to the main composition of the wastewater from the municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) plant in Ingolstadt, Germany. The results show, that Pb has only little effect on the precipitation of Zn. The rate of water purification is even slightly increased in presence of Pb. The formation of the mineral gordaite (NaZn4(SO4)(OH)6Cl*6H2O) as main phase in all experiments, is not dependent on the Pb concentration. Laurionite (Pb(OH)Cl) is the only Pb-containing phase; it was observed using XRD at 40% Pb in the solution, and already at 5% Pb using FTIR.

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens - ein Rechtsvergleich
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (8/2024)
Like all public international law treaties, the Paris Climate Accords rely on national law for their implementation. The success of the agreement therefore depends, to a large extent, on the stepstaken or not taken by national governments and legislators as well as on the instruments and mechanisms chosen for this task. Against this background, the present article compares different approaches to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, using court decisions as a means to assess their (legal) effectiveness.
