摘要：

The lack of understanding of heavy metal speciation and solubility control mechanisms in smelting soils limits the effective pollution control. In this study smelting soils were investigated by an advanced mineralogical analysis (AMICS), leaching tests and thermodynamic modelling. The aims were to identify the partitioning and release behaviour of Pb, Zn, Cd and As. The integration of multiple techniques was necessary and displayed coherent results. In addition to the residual fraction, Pb and Zn were predominantly associated with reducible fractions, and As primarily existed as the crystalline iron oxide-bound fractions. AMICS quantitative analysis further confirmed that Fe oxyhydroxides were the common dominant phase for As, Cd, Pb and Zn. In addition, a metal arsenate (paulmooreite) was an important mineral host for Pb and As. The pH-stat leaching indicted that the release of Pb, Zn and Cd increased towards low pH values while release of As increased towards high pH values. The separate leaching schemes were associated with the geochemical behaviour under the control of minerals and were confirmed by thermodynamic modelling. PHREEQC calculations suggested that the formation of arsenate minerals (schultenite, mimetite and koritnigite) and the binding to Fe oxyhydroxides synchronously controlled the release of Pb, Zn, Cd and As. Our results emphasized the governing role of Fe oxyhydroxides and secondary insoluble minerals in natural attenuation of heavy metals, which provides a novelty strategy for the stabilization of multi-metals in smelting sites. © 2023
