With the acceleration of urbanization, the production of waste concrete is getting higher and higher. A large amount of outdoor accumulations of waste concrete will leach heavy metals, not only causing harm to the soil, but also posing a risk to human health. Based on this, this paper systematically studies the basic physical properties and microstructure (XRF, XRD, and SEM-EDS) of outdoor natural accumulation waste concrete, and analyzes the heavy metals in waste concrete from the aspects of existing state, leaching mechanism, human health risk analysis, and summarized the direction of resource utilization of waste concrete, calculated the carbon emission reduction during recycling. The study found that heavy metals in waste concrete mainly exist in hydration products in the form of precipitation, adsorption, and replacement, summarized the leaching mechanism from the micro- and macro-aspects. The leaching mechanism of heavy metals can be assigned to chemical (mineral dissolution and effective amount of components) and physical (advection, surface erosion, and diffusion) processes from the macro-perspective. From the micro-analysis, it can be assigned to the following five processes: acid migrates from solution to liquid-solid surface, acid migration through leaching layer, rapid dissolution reaction controlled by diffusion at leaching boundary, heavy metal through leaching layer, and heavy metals through the solid/liquid surface to the solution. In addition, the concentration and the leaching rate of heavy metals in waste concrete were analyzed. It was found that the concentration of Cr was the highest reached to 4.7 mg/kg and the leaching rate of Cd was the highest, its leaching coefficient was calculated as a result of 1.713 × 10–6. However, there was no obvious regularity in the leaching of heavy metals in different accumulate particle sizes. Through the establishment of risk assessment system was found the concentration of heavy metals in waste concrete will not cause significant harm to human health. The effective limit of heavy metals after 3 months of accumulation of waste concrete was calculated as: Cr < 0.09 mg/kg, Cd < 0.00715 mg/kg, As < 0.392 mg/kg, and Pb < 0.732 mg/kg. And the carbon emission reduction of waste concrete recycling was calculated to be 28.764kgCO2/t. All the results of this study can promote the safe and environmentally friendly utilization of waste concrete.

Recent developments of acid leaching of titanium concentrates and ores have produced renewed industrial and commercial interest. However, the leaching kinetics and mechanism of these concentrates and ores had received little attention. This work, therefore, addresses the leaching kinetics and mechanism of Ti from a rutile concentrate in sulfuric acid solution. The leaching reaction was controlled by diverse parameters like temperature, particle size, acid concentration, liquid/solid (L/S) ratio, and stirring speed. The leaching kinetics was investigated using the Shrinking Core Model in order to determine the optimum criteria which control the reaction. The kinetics analysis showed that the rate of dissolution of Ti increased by increasing reaction temperature, L/S ratio, and stirring speed, while it decreased upon increasing particle size. The kinetics analysis revealed that the dissolution reaction is controlled by the chemical reaction at the rutile particle surface. Applying the Arrhenius relation, the apparent energy of activation Ea for the leaching reaction was calculated to be 23.4kJ/mol. A semi-empirical overall rate equation was introduced to describe the combined effects of the process variables upon the rate of the dissolution reaction: [formula]

The process of atmosphere-pressure acid leaching of laterites has attracted considerable attention in the nickel industry in recent years. However, the leaching kinetics of laterite using hydrochloride acid has not yet been fully researched. In this paper, the mineral analysis of the ore was carried out, and the leaching mechanism of different minerals at different time was studied comprehensively. The kinetics analysis of the leaching process of nickel, cobalt and manganese showed that the kinetics model of diffusion controlling was suitable and could be described by the linear equation, 1-3(1-a)2/3+2(1-a)=k2t. Based on the linear equation and the Arrhenius equation, the values of activation energy of metal leaching can be deduced (11.56 kJ/mol for nickel, 11.26 kJ/mol for cobalt and 10.77 kJ/mol for manganese). Study of leaching mechanism shows that the order of these minerals dissolution is: goethite, lizardite, magnetite and hematite. Due to the original or product of silica, magnetite, hematite and talc, they can form the solid film which hinders the leaching of valuable metals. Thus, the diffusion controlling step is inner diffusion, namely solid film diffusion controlling.

Sludge from cardboard mill is most commonly landfilled, but it could also be recycled on-site into production or reused in some other way. In this study the use of sludge from cardboard mill as stabilizing agent in the stabilization treatment of cadmium polluted sediment was examined. The effectiveness of treatment and long-term leaching behavior of cadmium was evaluated by determining the cumulative percentage of cadmium leached, diffusion coefficients (De) and by applying different leaching tests (semi-dynamic test, toxicity characteristic leaching procedure, waste extraction test). In order to simulate the “worst case” leaching conditions, the semi-dynamic leaching test was modified using 0.014 M acetic acid (pH = 3.25) and humic acids solution (20 mg l-1 TOC) as leachants instead of deionized water. A diffusion-based model was used to elucidate the controlling leaching mechanisms. Applied treatment was effective in immobilizing cadmium irrespective of high availability in the untreated sample. The controlling leaching mechanism appeared to be diffusion, which indicates that a slow leaching of cadmium could be expected when the cardboard mill sludge as stabilization agent is applied.
