RESUMO

Improper disposal of electronic waste in the environment facilitates migration of heavy metals, especially lead, into the soil and can contribute to the bioavailability of this species. Based on a simplex-centroid mixture experimental design, small-scale tests were performed for incubation of printed circuit boards (PCBs) in mixtures containing organic matter (OM), kaolinite (KA) and iron oxides (IO) to verify lead migration. Regression equations were acquired and were adjusted to the obtained responses. Results showed high total content of Pb, ranging from 400 to 4000 mg kg-1, depending on the mixture and incubation time. Mobility and/or bioavailability of lead in the mixtures were evaluated by a three-step sequential extraction. The bioavailability factor (BF) was obtained from the ratio of the sum of exchangeable fraction (F1) and the organically bound fraction (F2) by F1, F2 and the residual fraction (F3) and the values of bioavailability factor for Pb, the heavy metal considered of greatest environmental concern in this study, ranged between 0.16 and 0.52.
