Abstract:Nano-scale pyrite prepared by mechanical ball milling activation method was used as PRB medium material to in situ fix Cr(Ⅵ) in soil and groundwater. The column reaction was used to study the properties of dynamic reaction of Cr(Ⅵ) adsorption on pyrite and its desorption, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to characterize the pyrite material. Meanwhile, the reaction mechanism was discussed. The results showed that in the PRB reactor filled with nano-scale natural pyrite, FeS2 could effectively treat chromium-containing wastewater and in situ fix Cr(Ⅵ) in soil. During the reaction, 1 g pyrite could treat 1 854.4 mL chromium containing wastewater with initial Cr(Ⅵ) concentration of 50 mg·L?1. Approximately 69.458 mg of Cr(Ⅵ) could be fixed by 2 g of nano-scale natural pyrite medium. When the chromium solution reached the penetration point, its removal rate reached 99.9%. The study provides reference for the treatment and in situ fixation of Cr(Ⅵ) and other heavy metals in soil and groundwater by nano-scale natural pyrite. Key words:nano-scale pyrite/ permeable reactive barrier/ adsorption/ desorption/ chromium.
