1.0 INTRODUCTION
Clear Lake in northern California has received inputs of mercury (Hg) mining wastes from the Sulfur
Bank Mercury Mine (SBMM) (Figure 1-1). About 1.2 million tons of Hg-contaminated overburden and
mine tailings were distributed over a 50-ha surface area due to mining operations from 1865 to 1957
(Gerlach et al., 2001). The SBMM includes an open, unlined mine pit, Herman Pit, which covers approx-
imately 23 acres and is 750 feet upgradient of Clear Lake. Reynolds et al. (1997) analyzed water samples
collected from Herman Pit and Clear Lake and reported the pH values at those locations as 3 and 8,
respectively. The SBMM was placed on the Final National Priorities List (NPL) list in 1990. The site
has been under investigation as a Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act (CERCLA) site and has experienced some minor corrective actions. Clear Lake remains under a fish
advisory due to the mercury contamination.

Mercury in contaminated soils is a unique pollutant that requires innovative remediation solutions. Con-
ventional stabilization/solidification treatments cannot effectively reduce the leachability of Hg (Conner,
1990). As part of the remediation effort at the SBMM site, the U.S. EPA is assisting in the development
of treatment alternatives for waste material from the site. Waste materials consist of waste ore, waste
rock, and roaster tailings. To support this work, leaching profiles of waste ore over a range of different
pH and oxidation-reduction (Eh) conditions were performed. Chemical and biological processes affecting
the mobility of metals may be initiated by altering the physicochemical environment (i.e., pH and Eh con-
ditions). Important processes influencing the chemistry and availability of trace and toxic metals include
(1) precipitation as insoluble sulfides under highly reduced conditions (Morel et al., 1974); (2) formation
of discrete metal oxides and hydroxides of low solubility (Morel et al., 1974); (3) adsorption of colloidal
hydrous oxides of iron and manganese, primarily in aerobic, neutral, or alkaline environments (Windom,
1973); and (4) complex formation with soluble and insoluble organic matter (Loganathan et al., 1977).
-------
Each experiment has been designed to evaluate leachability of Hg from the waste materials under con-
trolled conditions in order to assess conditions that may contribute to the destabilization of Hg in the
waste ore.
1.1 Project Objective
The objective of this TO was to study a range of different pH and Eh values in order to evaluate the
potential of SBMM waste ore to leach Hg. This study was conducted in accordance with the Quality
Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) No. 63-Q1-3 (Battelle, 2001).

2.1 Solid Material Preparation
The waste ore used in this study was obtained from the SBMM by the U.S. EPA. After receipt at
Battelle, the waste material was homogenized, and then was ground for 8 hours and passed through
American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)-approved No. 30 and No. 100 sieves to achieve
particle sizes between 150 (im and 600 (im. The moisture from the samples was removed according to
ASTM Method D2261-80.
2.2 Variable pH Leaching Procedure
The pH leaching procedure was based on University of Cincinnati's constant pH leaching procedure from
QAPP No. 63-Q1-2 (UC, 1999). All experiments were conducted in accordance with the approved QAPP
(QAPP ID No. 63-Q1-3) (Battelle, 2001).
To measure leachability at different pH values (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12), 25 g of dry solid
sample were added in each 1-L bottle. Leachant at different pH values was prepared by adding nitric acid
(0.1 N) or sodium hydroxide (0.1 N) in deionized reverse osmosis (RO) water. Duplicate samples were
prepared for pH values 2, 5, 9, and 12. A solution to solid ratio of 20:1 was maintained in each of the
bottles containing soil waste materials. The bottles were placed on a tumbler (Model 3740-12-BRE,
Associated Design & Mfg. Co., VA) and equilibrated overnight. The pH was monitored frequently and
adjusted as needed over the 24-hour time period. At the end of the reaction period, the pH of the leachant
and the equilibrium pH of the solid-liquid suspension were recorded. ORPs of the leachate also were
recorded after equilibration. Both pH and ORP were measured by a Corning pH/ion meter (Model 450).
The ORP values were converted and are reported as Eh.
The above leaching procedure was followed in presence of ferric nitrate (Fe[NO3]3 -9H2O) (J.T. Baker,
NJ) at four different pH values (3, 6, 9, and 11) to determine the effect of iron (Fe) on leaching of Hg.
The amount of Fe(NO3)3-9H2O added to each sample was based on the Hg concentration as observed
from the previous set of experiments where no Fe was added. The amount of ferric nitrate was based on a
final Fe concentration equal to the Hg concentration from the variable pH experiments (Table 2-2).

2.3 Variable Eh Leaching Procedure
This section describes the experimental plan to determine the effect of Eh at two different pH values, on
the mercury concentrations in the leachate. The pH of the leachant was maintained by adding suitable
amounts of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) or sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The pH values selected by the U.S. EPA
were 3.2 and 6.0. About 500 mL of the leachant was added to 25 g of prepared waste ore material, and
the solution was readjusted to the desired pH. The Eh of the suspension then was varied by using one of
the following three methods, without adding any chemicals: (1) purging the suspension with O2 (to make
the water aerobic); (2) purging the suspension with a mixture of H2 and O2; and (3) purging the sus-
pension with N2 or H2 (to make the water anaerobic). About 1,670 uL of 3% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)
was added to achieve a higher Eh value of 0.63 V during only one set of experiments. All other exper-
iments were conducted using different proportions of gas and gas flow control to establish target Eh
values within the upper and lower Eh boundary conditions. To determine the effect of Fe(III), 0.01 g of
Fe(NO3)3-9H2O was added in three samples during the variable Eh experiments (Table A-4). A schematic
diagram and a photograph of the experimental setup are shown in Figure 2-1.
2.4 Filtration
After leaching, the suspended samples were filtered prior to Hg analysis. The suspension was passed
through 0.7-um Toxic Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) acid-treated low metal glass fiber filters
(Whatman, UK) using a pressure filtration unit (Millipore Corp., MA) pressurized with ultrahigh purity

(UHP) nitrogen (see Figure 2-2). The filtrate from each sample was collected in a 500-mL bottle; a por-
tion of the sample was acidified with nitric acid to obtain a pH less than 2 and stored inside the refrigera-
tor at 4°C until analyzed for Hg. The remainder of the sample was sent to Wilson Environmental
Laboratories (Columbus, OH) for either alkalinity/acidity analysis or chloride analysis.

2.5 Analytical Procedures
The samples were prepared and analyzed according to U.S. EPA SW-846 Method 7470A: Mercury in
Liquid Waste and Method 7471 A: Mercury in Solid or Semisolid Waste by using a cold vapor atomic
absorption (CVAA) spectrophotometry (Perkin Elmer 51OOPC Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer
attached with Flow Injection Automated System), in which the mercury is reduced to the elemental state
and aerated from solution in a closed system. The mercury vapor passed through a quartz cell positioned
in the light path of an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Absorbance (peak height) was measured at
the 253.7-nm wavelength as a function of mercury concentration. The detection limit was 0.2 ug/L.
Total elemental analysis was conducted by acid digestion as per U.S. EPA Method 3050B of 1 g of solid
sample to a final volume of 100 mL.
The turbidity of the filtrate was measured by using a Hach 2100N turbidimeter. Alkalinity and acidity
were analyzed using U.S. EPA Methods 310.1 and 305.1, respectively. Chloride was analyzed using U.S.
EPA Method 407A.
-------
3.0 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The results of the experiments are discussed and analyzed below; analytical results are tabulated in
Appendix A.
3.1 Characterization of Waste Materials
Selected physical and chemical properties of the SBMM waste ore material are given in Table 3-1. The
material has an acidic pH and was moderately oxidizing. The homogenized and sieved solid samples
were analyzed with an x-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and energy
dispersive spectrophotometer (EDS). The XRD patterns (Figure 3-1) of the recovered crystalline phases
were compared using organic and inorganic databases from the International Centre for Diffraction Data
(ICDD) Powder Diffraction Database, and Materials Data, Inc. (MDI) Jade software for pattern treatment
and search-match. In this analysis, the crystals anatase (synthetic TiO2), cinnabar (HgS), and silicon
oxide (SiO2) were identified. The secondary electron images (SEIs), backscattered electron images
(BEIs), and EDS elemental analyses are shown in Figures 3-2a through 3-2c. Secondary electron imaging
shows topographic contrast, with highest resolution at low operating current. Backscattered electron
imaging shows compositional contrasts, which are greatest at higher operating current.
3.2 Effect of Eh and pH Conditions
Eh and pH conditions are important influences on the mobility of Hg. Figure 3-3 illustrates different
chemical forms of Hg under specific Eh and pH conditions. The data points ( ) on the stability diagram
show the different conditions achieved during the experiments. In general, metallic mercury is very
insoluble in sediments over a wide pH range. Dissolved inorganic Hg combines with chloride up to a pH
of 7. It exhibits a very high affinity for sulfide in mildly reducing environments, such as stream and lake
sediments, forming insoluble mercuric sulfides (Wang and Driscoll, 1995). Dissolved Hg also sorbs
strongly to sediment and suspended solids, including iron oxyhydroxides (Balogh et al., 1997). Gagnon
and Fisher (1997) demonstrated that the binding strength of mercury to sediments is high and that less
desorption occurs under acidic conditions.

Figure 3-3. Leachability of Hg Conducted by TCLP Method at Different pH and Eh Conditions
(modified after Davis et al., 1997; and surface and groundwater information obtained from Garrels and
Christ, 1965). The data points « ) on the stability diagram show the different conditions attended during
the experiments.
The effect of pH on leaching of Hg from the waste materials is plotted in Figure 3-4. The Hg concentra-
tion increased as the equilibrium pH of the suspension increased to a pH value of 10.65. Thereafter, the
Hg concentration decreased sharply. Acidity and alkalinity were measured for pH experiments and
results are shown in Tables A-l and A-2. Alkalinity concentrations were below detection level (BDL)
(<1 mg/L) at low pH and increased as the sample pH increased. Acidity was highest at low pH and
decreased BDL at pHs greater than 5. Eh of the suspension decreased as the pH increased. The Hg con-
centration, in presence of Fe(III), decreased significantly. The resulting Eh conditions, in presence and
absence of Fe(III), during the experiments at different pH values are shown in Figure 3-5. The turbidity
of the filtrate increased as the pH increased even though the same filters were used in all experiments
(Figure 3-6).
The concentration of Hg in the leachate at variable Eh conditions is shown in Figure 3-7. During the
experiments with variable Eh, the pH values were maintained 3.2 ± 0.08 and 6.4 ±0.10 and both Eh and
pH were monitored for about 24 hours. Each data point represents individual experiment and there were
no replicates. Hg concentration, at pH 3.2, increased with increase in oxidation potential until the Eh
value reached 0.2 V. Further oxidizing conditions reduced the leaching of Hg from the waste matrix.
The concentration of Hg in the leachate increased sharply when H2O2 was added to attain a higher
oxidation potential (Eh = 0.63 V). At pH 3.2, Fe(III) did not show any effect on leaching of Hg. The Hg
concentration varied from 2.5 to 5.7 mg kg"1 during the experiments, when the pH was maintained at 6.4.
These experiments were conducted for about 24 hours. The rate of leaching of Hg at pH 3.2 in absence,
and in presence of Fe(III) is shown in Figure 3-8. At the beginning of the experiment, Fe(III) releases Hg
through oxidation. Burkstaller et al. (1975) reported leaching of Hg through oxidation of cinnabar in
presence of Fe(III) in acid mine waters (pH <2.0). However, presence of Fe(III) reduces the rate of Hg
leaching over a 24-hour period. The rates of dissolution of Hg from the waste ore at pH 3.2 are calculated
as 1.02 x 10"7 s"1 and 3.32 x 10"8 s"1 in absence of Fe(III) and in presence of Fe(III), respectively. The
change in chloride concentration as the Eh values change is shown in Figure 3-9.

Alkaline and reduced conditions were found to enhance soluble levels of Hg. Wollast et al. (1975)
reported that although the insoluble mercuric sulfide (cinnabar) will form in reducing environments, dis-
solved levels of Hg may increase in more strongly reducing conditions by conversion of the mercuric ion
to the free metal form. Although the SBMM-water system studied for this report may differ from the
Belgium River water described by Wollast et al. (1975), it is interesting to note that this study also
detected higher levels of soluble Hg under strongly reducing conditions. The Eh-pH diagram (Figure 3-3)
showed the comparatively soluble free metallic form to be stable compared to less soluble sulfide forms.
A composite leaching profile of Hg at different Eh and pH conditions is shown in Figure 3-10. Based on
the leaching experiments, the concentration of Hg in the leachate (mg/L) was correlated to the different
Eh (V) and pH values as follows:
Concentration of Hg in the leachate = 6.78 - 8.16 x pH + 3.56 x pH2 - 0.7 x pH3 + 0.06 x pH4
- 0.002 x PH5 + 0.0004/Eh.
The r2 of the fitted equation was 0.96. The above correlation was obtained by using TableCurve 3D™
(Jandel Scientific) software.
