Chelating extraction of copper from soil using s‐carboxymethylcysteine

Abstract: Heavy metal contamination of soil frequently occurs at hazardous waste sites. The use of chelating agents to extract heavy metals from contaminated soils is seen as a treatment method. This research investigated the use of the chelator S‐carboxymethylcysteine (SCMC) to extract copper from a spiked soil. Batch equilibration experiments over 24‐hour periods tested the hypotheses that through a proper choice of chelator extraction could be made more selective toward heavy metals, and extracted metals could be rea… Show more

“…The removal of toxic metal ions and recovery of valuable ions from mine wastewaters, soils and waters have been important in economic and environmental problems [1][2][3][4]. Heavy metals and other metal ions exist as contaminants in aqueous waste streams of many industries, such as tanneries and mining.…”

“…Hong et al (1995) showed that chelate S-carbonxymethylcysteine (SCMC) removed and released copper reversibly. Based on systematic column-washing experiments, Davis and Singh (1995) concluded that efficient soil washing occurred when chelating agents are used at low flow rates.…”

“…To increase the solubility of metals, chelating compounds have been used in soil and nutrient solutions (Hong et al 1995). Once complexed with a chelating compound, the target heavy metals may be leached or extracted from the soil and potentially be recovered.…”
