Detoxification Of Hazardous Organic/Inorganic Contaminantsin Automobile Shredder Residue by Multi-Functioned Nano-Size Metallic Calcium Composite
Abstract
In recent years, environmental nanotechnology has risen to the forefront and the new properties and enhanced
reactivates offered by nanomaterial may offer a new, low-cost paradigm to solving complex environmental pollution
problems.This study assessed the synthesis and application of multi-functionednano-size metallic calcium (nMC)composite
for detoxification of hazardous inorganic (heavy metals (HMs)/organic chlorinated/brominated compound
(CBCs)contaminants in automobile shredder residue (ASR). ASR residuesball milled with nMCcompositecan achieve about
90-100% of HMs immobilization and CBCsdecomposition.The results highlight the low quantity of HMs leached from ASR
residues after treatment with nMC,which was found to be lower than the standard regulatory limit for hazardous waste
landfills. The use of nMC compositein a mechanochemicalprocess to treat hazardous ASR (dry conditions)is asimple and
innovative approach to remediate hazardous inorganic/organic cross-contaminatesin ASR.
