RESUMO

Due to the heavy metal persistence in soils, the contamination by these elements is considered permanent and might result in great impact causing a degradation of the chemical and biological properties of the soil. Stabilization techniques have been used as an efficient tool for the remediation of soils that are contaminated by heavy metals, and they show also a cost/benefice relationship more accessible when compared with the traditional methods of decontamination. The association of stabilization and phytostabilization constitute a prominent technique because decrease the environmental risk besides recovering and rehabilitating the impacted area, protecting the soil from water erosion and leaching of the contaminants. The knowledge of the heavy metal distribution in the soil fractions is essential to the prediction of the geochemical behavior these metals in the environmental and allows also evaluate the efficacy of the remediation procedures and their longevity. Cd, Pb, Cu, Ni and Zn are of great interest to the regulamentation by the governmental agencies because if they are found in high concentration in water, soils and air they represent risk to the human health. In this context, this work evaluated the potential of the immobilization for triple superphosphate, red mud and zeolites in a contaminated soil with industrial residues rich in Cd, Pb, Cu, Ni and Zn, by using vase soil incubation experiment. Later, it was evaluated the capacity to promote the vegetal growth in each treatment through corn (Zea mays) experiment in vases and also by Neubauer method in Petri plates, using rice (Oryza sativa). The behavior and distribution of heavy metals were evaluated by the sequential extraction of Tessier. In general, all remediates reduced the available concentration of the heavy metals in the soil, varying with doses and the elements. The triple superphosphate reduced mainly the availability of Pb, Cu and Zn. Zeolites and red mud presented higher reduction in the available concentration of Cd and Ni. The triple superphosphate promoted pH reduction and in an opposite way the red mud increased the soil pH. The sequential data extraction showed the heavy metals moving to the iron and manganese oxi-hydroxide fractions after the treatments. The triple superphosphate was the treatment that has promoted higher vegetal growth.
