摘要
A simple and highly effective stabilization/solidification (S/S) technology of elemental mercury using only sulfur with paraffin is introduced. First, elemental mercury is mixed with an excess of sulfur powder and heated to 60 degrees C for 30 min until elemental mercury is converted into mercuric sulfide (HgS black, metacinnabar) (Step 1). Then, metacinnabar with additional sulfur is poured into liquid paraffin (Step 2). Finally, the mixture is melted at 140 degrees C and settles to the bottom of the vessel where it cools and solidifies under the layer of liquid paraffin (Step 3). The proposed S/S method with sodium sulfide nonahydrate (Na(2)S center dot 9H(2)O) as an additive is also tested for comparison. The average toxicity characteristic leaching procedure test values are 6.72 mu g/L (no additive) and 3.18 mu g/L (with additive). Theses concentrations are well below the Universal Treatment Standard (25 mu g/L). Effective diffusion coefficient evaluated from accelerated leach test and average headspace concentration of Hg vapor after 18 hr are 3.62 x 10(-15) cm(2)/sec, 0.55 mg/m(3) (no additive) and 5.86 x 10(-13) cm(2)/sec, 0.25 mg/m(3) (with additive).
