RESUMO
Este trabalho de pesquisa buscou investigar a eficácia da remoção de chumbo (Pb) e zinco (Zn) de uma área contaminada pelo depósito inadequado de resíduos de indústrias de revestimentos cerâmicos do pólo de Santa Gertrudes (São Paulo, Brasil), ocorrido há cerca de trinta anos atrás. Foram avaliados três processos de lixiviação lavagem com ácido sulfúrico concentrado e por soluções de peróxido de hidrogênio a 30 por cento e de ácido clorídrico 0,1 M. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que o tratamento com peróxido de hidrogênio não removeu Pb e Zn; que a lavagem com ácido sulfúrico concentrado promoveu a redução de 50 por cento dos teores de Zn e a solução de ácido clorídrico 0,1 M reduziu os teores de Pb e Zn em 15 por cento e 10 por cento, respectivamente. O teor remanescente de Zn no solo tratado com ácido sulfúrico concentrado foi de 117 mg/kg e os de Pb e Zn no solo lavado com a solução de ácido clorídrico 0,1 M, de 806 mg/kg e 213 mg/kg, respectivamente, valores estes inferiores aos de intervenção estabelecidos pelo órgão de controle ambiental paulista.
ABSTRACT
The aim of this research was to evaluate different leaching processes to the removal of lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) from tropical soil contaminated by inappropriate past deposition of wastes from ceramic tile industries of Santa Gertrudes (São Paulo, Brazil). Three soil washing processes were investigated with concentrated sulphuric acid, with a 30 percent solution of hydrogen peroxide and with 0.1M solution of hydrochloric acid. The results indicated that the treatment with hydrogen peroxide did not remove Pb and Zn significantly; the washing with concentrated sulphuric acid caused a 50 percent reduction of Zn contents and the 0.1M solution of hydrochloric acid reduced Pb and Zn contents in 15 percent and 10 percent, respectively. The Zn content remaining in the soil processed with concentrated sulphuric acid was 117 mg/kg and the Pb and Zn contents remaining in the soil processed with 0.1M solution of hydrochloric acid were 806 mgPb/kg and 213 mgZn/kg, respectively, values which are lower than intervention ones established by São Paulo State environmental protection agency.
