This study explored the possibility of using reverse osmosis (RO) reject water as a mixing water for producing cementitious bricks using calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement along with gypsum, and it investigated the changes in the properties of CSA cement pastes when RO reject water was used. The results were compared with those obtained using purified water and seawater. Overall, the use of RO reject water improved the cement paste’s strength. Given that the use of RO reject water very slightly affected ettringite formation but more significantly influenced the Al2O3-Fe2O3-mono (AFm) phases (i.e., monosulfate, kuzelite, and Friedel’s salt) and amorphous aluminum hydroxide (AH3), the strength improvement was likely mainly due to the formation of Friedel’s salt rather than ettringite formation. This study also demonstrated that the use of RO reject water for brick production satisfied the Korean Standards (KS) F 4004 and toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP); thus, it is recommended to use RO reject water as a mixing water to produce CSA cement bricks for use in construction.

ABSTRACTNon-radioactive ash was immobilized via microwave melting. The ash composed mainly of silica (SiO2), titania (TiO2), calcia (CaO), alumina (Al2O3), and carbon (C). The ash was melted with various additives, such as magnetite (Fe3O4), lithium carbonate (Li2CO3), sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), and boron oxide (B2O3) by using a 2.45 GHz, 750 W microwave oven. Samples with different ash and additive concentrations were melted when subjected to microwave radiation. Ease of melting was dependent on the carbon and magnetite concentrations. Melted samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and subjected to the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure in regard to lead (Pb) immobilization. Melted samples with more than 30 wt% additives has an undetectable leaching rate of less than 0.1 ppm of lead for TCLP test, which was found to be due to the reduction and evaporation of the lead during melting. More than 80 % of the lead was lost through evaporation leaving less than 0.1 wt% Pb in the melted glass.

En el presente trabajo se estudió el efecto tóxico y ecotoxicológico de arenas negras (ANM) provenientes de la extracción artesanal de oro, en el departamento de Madre de Dios. Para evaluar el efecto tóxico se usó el test “Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure” (TCLP) y con los lixiviados se hicieron pruebas de ecotoxicidad agudas según el protocolo de la EPA 600/3-88/029 usando microorganismos de prueba, neonatos de Daphnia Magna, con 24 horas de nacidos y en semillas de Lactuca sativa. La cuantificación de mercurio total en las muestras deANM y en los lixiviados se realizó mediante Espectroscopia de EmisiónAtómica de Plasma Acoplado Inductivamente. Los valores obtenidos de mercurio total en las muestras de ANM estuvieron en el rango de 0,1 y > 275 mg/kg de arena negra, lo que indica que superan en 1000 veces los valores de fondo. En los lixiviados la concentración de mercurio total estuvo en el rango de 0,001 y >2,75 mg/L, algunos de estos valores superan los límites máximos permisibles (0,2 mg/L) representado un potencial tóxico para la salud humana. En el caso del efecto ecotóxico sobre las daphnias, se encontró que el metal mercurio en interacción con otros metales, como el aluminio, podrían ocasionar un efecto letal. Sobre la Lactuca sativa, se determinó mayor efecto ecotóxico sobre la radícula.
