This study proposes a method to convert non-structural calcium-rich construction and demolition waste fines into adsorbents of heavy metal ions by mixing waste fines with diammonium hydrogen phosphate solution to produce hydroxyapatite, which has high surface areas and excellent ion-exchange capacity with heavy metal ions. As a result, environmental polluting waste is converted into environmentally cleaning material. Waste putty powders was chosen as the representative waste to investigate the detailed formation process of hydroxyapatite and the key reaction parameters of the reaction. Results showed that hydroxyapatite can be produced on waste putty particles. Higher ageing temperatures or longer ageing duration are beneficial to the yield and crystallinity of the produced hydroxyapatite. Adsorption testing confirmed that Ni 2+ can replace Ca 2+ in the hydroxyapatite lattice, leading to the formation of a new crystal, arupite (Ni 3 (PO 4 ) 2 •8H 2 O), and contributing to a modest adsorption capacity for Ni 2+ (15 mg/g) for the hydroxyapatite-containing waste putty.

Este estudio propone un método para convertir residuos de construcción y demolición no estructurales, ricos en calcio y pulverulentos, en adsorbentes de iones de metales pesados mezclándolos con una solución de hidrógenofosfato de diamonio para generar hidroxiapatita, la cual presenta una elevada área superficial y una excelente capacidad de intercambio iónico de iones de metales pesados. De este modo, un residuo contaminante se convierte en un material que limpia el medio ambiente. Se seleccionó residuo en forma de masilla en polvo como residuo representativo para investigar en detalle los procesos de formación de hidroxiapatita y los parámetros clave implicados en la reacción. Los resultados mostraron que la hidroxiapatita se puede producir en las partículas de los residuos empleados. La producción y la cristalinidad de la hidroxiapatita se ve favorecida por temperaturas de envejecimiento elevadas y prolongadas. Los ensayos de adsorción confirmaron que el Ni 2+ puede sustituir al Ca 2+ en la estructura de la hidroxiapatita, formándose un nuevo mineral, arupita (Ni 3 (PO 4 ) 2 •8H 2 O), y contribuyendo a una adsorción modesta de Ni 2+ (15 mg/g) por parte de la masilla de residuos con hidroxiapatita.
