Abstract

Remediation of brown fields is a challenge and this paper aimed at quantifying the extent of heavy metal pollution in contaminated soils and used a Nano based amendment to encapsulate it by means of aggregation and agglomeration in the interstices of soil particles making them inert and sorbing them permanently. Cation heavy metals predominantly priority heavy metals in any brown field viz. Cadmium, Nickel and Lead have been studied on three soils representing a steel mill waste site, battery works unit site and an unscientific solid waste dumpsite. The order of sorption of metal ions was Pb>Cd>Ni. The efficiency of material for desorption under-harsh conditions were evaluated using a strong acid, weak acid and chelating agents such as EDTA. It was found that Nano based amended soils retained more than 55% heavy metals even under harsh conditions proving the potential of Nano technology as a superior material.
