4 Soil erosion Ø One of the most serious ecoenvironmental problems in the world. Ø Construction sites and other locations with disturbed soil are susceptible to soil erosion; Ø There is a marked relationship between rainfall and erosion, which accelerates soil degradation; Ø Soil is quite vulnerable on steep sloping island, which can cause nutrient loss and metal leaching. Vulcan Quarry site soil erosion view 4
5 Problems associated with soil erosion Soil erosion Releases of large quantities of fine sediments Toxic metals leaching 5
6 Rules and regulations Federal environmental laws Clean Air Act (CAA) (1990) Clean Water Act (CWA) (1987) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit Phase I (1990) Phase II NPDES (2003) U.S. EPA construction sites effluent limitation guidelines 6
7 U.S. EPA construction sites effluent limitation guidelines To control erosion and sediment release, operators of regulated sites are required to develop and implement storm water pollution prevention plans and to obtain the required permits from an authorized state agency or from the US EPA. The effluent limitation guidelines proposed by US EPA for initial turbidity was evolved as follows: In 2008, 13 NTU In 2011, 280 NTU In 2014, No-numeric limitation 7
8 Polyacrylamide (PAM) application: PAMs have been used in the US since 1995 for reducing irrigation-induced erosion and for enhancing infiltration, it can also greatly improve runoff water quality by reducing the presence of sediments, N, P, COD (chemical oxygen demand), pesticides, weed seeds, and microorganisms. In 2000, National Resources Conservation Service specified soil treated with anionic PAM as a Best Management Practice (BMP) for controlling soil erosion. 8
9 Polyacrylamides (PAMs) Ø Formed from acrylamide subunits; Ø One in five chain segments provide a charged site; Ø Large (12-15 megagrams per mole) water soluble (non-cross-linked) anionic molecules, containing <0.05% acrylamide monomers; Ø Aggregate fine soil particles through Coulombic and Van der Waals forces; Ø Optimum application rate of PAM is influenced by soil slope; Ø Anionic PAMs are safe and environmentally friendly; Ø Cost between $4.50 to $12 per kg active ingredient. PAM polymer structure subunit (Sojka et al., 2005) Granular Anionic PAM 9
10 Limitations of PAM Anionic PAMs are negatively charged, the effectiveness is greatly reduced for binding with soil particles or colloids that carry similar negative surface charges; Less effective for soils of low metal or clay/silt content (e.g. sandy soils), and it often fails to bind with soils of high organic matter (OM); PAM of high MW would penetrate poorly into aggregates with a less effective depth, greater viscosity can induce reduction of soil hydraulic conductivity; Little is known about its effectiveness on very steep slopes (4:1 to 2:1); Anionic PAMs carry amide and carboxylic functional groups, both of these can interact with metal cations such as Pb 2+. However, there has been no documented research on its effectiveness for retaining metals or metal oxyanions in runoff. 10
11 Arsenic and soil erosion Arsenic is an oxyanion (HAsO 4 2- ), one of WHO s 10 chemicals of major public health concern; Abandoned mines may act as major sources of arsenic contamination to the nearby environment; Soil functions as an important sink for arsenic, soil sorbed arsenic is sensitive to mobilization due to weathering, soil erosion, and human actions; Soil erosion contributed 2.38x 10 8 kg per year of dissolved and suspended arsenic to the oceans; Iron-based arsenic removal technologies make use of the strong binding between iron and arsenate; Magnetite nanoparticles offer strong affinity for arsenate. 11
12 Hypotheses Limitation of PAM Modify PAM using magnetite nanoparticles will alter PAM molecular size and structure without increasing its viscosity. PAM performance on steeper slope NP-modified PAM will work more effectively, especially for steep (3:1) slope for controlling both erosion and metal leaching PAM effectiveness for retaining arsenic in runoff. Arsenate will be used as a model metalloid Magnetite nanoparticles can immobilize arsenic leached from eroded soil under various conditions 12

23 Materials and Methods Ø Batch equilibrium adsorption tests were performed in duplicate. First, the particles were prepared at 0.1 g/l as total Fe with 0.3 wt.% PAM, or 0.1 g/l Fe with 0.04, 0.1 wt.% of starch in 30 ml plastic vials. Ø The were then mixed with 1 ml arsenate stock solution, which yielded an initial arsenic concentration of mg/l. The systems were equilibrated on a rotating rack (40 rpm) for 12 days. Ø At equilibrium, the suspension was filtered through a µm membrane filter. The filtrate was then acidified with 5% nitric acid, and then analyzed for total As in the aqueous phase. 23

29 Conclusions PAM stabilized magnetite nanoparticles (Total Fe=0.1g/L) reduced runoff erosion (soil mass) by 90.8% for Vulcan Site soil and 89.1% for Smith Farm soil, and turbidity by % for the two soils, with 30% reduction of viscosity compared to PAM only. Starch bridged magnetite nanoparticles combined with PAM application successfully immobilized arsenate in soils ( less than 1.2% arsenate was leached). Vulcan site soil is more vulnerable to runoff, but more responsive to the treatment compared to Smith Farm soil. ph, dosage of Fe nanoparticles and soil texture can affect arsenate immobilization. NP-modified PAM may simultaneously control erosion and metals leaching 29
