In this work the influence of alkaline activator on immobilization of lead and copper in alkali-activated blast furnace slag was investigated. A total of five activators were used; sodium water glass, potassium water glass, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and sodium carbonate. The leaching test according to ČSN EN 12457-4 was used to evaluate the level of immobilization of heavy metals, the leached solutions were analyzed by ICP-OES. For a better understanding of immobilization, the selected samples were characterized by analytical methods (FTIR, XRD, SEM, XPS). It was found that the degree of immobilization Pb2+ and Cu2+ in AAS was very high, regardless of the type of alkaline activator used. |
