Symposium Proceedings. (Cossu, R. et al., Eds.). pp.1-10. ISBN:9788862650281; ISSN:2282-0027 Abstract: The main pollutant release of stabilised electric arc furnace dust has been studied using column leaching tests at field-scale. The pH value and the concentration of Cd, Mo, Pb and Sb have been analysed in the leachates. Two mathematical models have been used to explain the experimental results. A model based on continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) considering that the leaching behavior is mainly due to variations in the chemical conditions; and a second model based on the advection-dispersion procedure. The best results have been obtained taking into account not only the mass transport of the pollutants from the solid to the liquid phase but also the resistance of the mass transfer into the solid phase.

September 10-13, 2012 – Porto, Portugal. Vol. 4, pp.1385-1390 Abstract: The main objective of this work is the development of the model which predicts the mobility of Pb and Zn under different scenarios of contaminated sediment-CO2 acidified seawater contact. The equilibrium results are fit to Freundlich isotherms and the adjusted parameters have been calculated. A porosity kinetic model of the evolution of Pb and Zn concentrations with L/S is proposed; the model allows to estimate the superficial diffusivity of the intra-particle Zn and Pb parameter as 5.43·10-12 cm2/s and 1.05·10-12 cm2/s, respectively.

The kind and concentration of acid, temperature and time of the process have been studied as process variables in the reactors based on previous studies. The obtained results give the optimal conditions of the acid hydrolysis for the valorization of this kind of lignocellulosic waste in bioethanol.
