Study on the physical and chemical properties of lead passivating agent in soil

Abstract

With the rapid development of industry, heavy metal pollution has seriously damaged the health of soil, and heavy metals spread through the food chain, posing a threat to human health. The firm existence of heavy metals in soil under earthy conditions is a center trouble faced by soil dense metal pollution solidification and correction technology. However, the existing investigation results are mostly controlled to soil passivation experiments using various materials. Macroscopically, heavy metal passivation materials have been selected, but the intrinsic mechanisms of different compound functional groups in soil passivation have been ignored. With the common heavy metal ion Pb2+ as an example, the stability of the combination of heavy metal ions and common ion groups in soil was analyzed in this study by using quantum chemical calculation as the theoretical guidance. The results show that SO42− and PO43−, as functional groups of passivating agents, are used to control lead pollution and have been verified to have good effects. When the pollution is particularly serious and not easy to passivation and precipitation, Fe3+ can be considered to enhance the passivation effect.

Pb2[C2O6]-P3̄m1: new insights into the high-pressure behavior of carbonates

“…According to previous DFT calculations, the ambient-pressure phase PbCO 3 - Pnma exhibits a band gap of ∼3.3 eV. 35,36 According to our calculations, the post-aragonite structure of PbCO 3 has an indirect band gap of 3.51–2.55 eV at 30–100 GPa (Fig. S5 and S6, ESI†).…”
