Application of Soil Washing modified mining waste contaminated with diesel
Brazil is one of the world's richest countries and the availability of natural
resources in the world with an immense biodiversity and one of the largest reservoir of
fresh water. Among these treasures, there are the reserves for the extraction of precious
stones, with Brazil being one of the largest exporters in the world generating billions of
raw material for the economy. In contrast, the effects of the mining process are
responsible for a severe degradation of the natural environment, it is evident that the
intense extraction of minerals and precious stones end up generating socio-
environmental conflicts, due to outdated methodologies and economic interests
involved. One of the residues resulting from this process is a material composed of rock
dust in emulsified diesel holding a pasty appearance and classified as Class I Waste -
Hazardous. The objective of this work is the optimization of a system adapted to
washing soil (Soil Washing) for removal of existing pollutant load in the solid generated
in the process of improvement of agate geodes. The contaminated residue was subjectedto a battery of tests with solutions of sodium hydroxide prepared at concentrations of 0,
0.175, 0.35 mol / L. After preparation, the solution was placed in a beaker containing

in the ratio 7:3. For the treatment of waste used to predetermined temperatures of 20, 50
and 80 C with shaking time of 15 minutes ending with a sedimentation of 24 hours.
The content of diesel fuel in existing residual solid sedimented was quantified with the
help of Soxhlet equipment and later made the processing of data to statistical software.
During the tests it was noted a high influence of temperature and sodium hydroxide, by
the interpolation of the data obtained in a removal surface response in statistical
software. It is concluded from the analysis of the surface obtained that the optimum
temperature for the technique used is around 60 C and the molarity of sodium
hydroxide was found ideal of 0.22 mol / L, achieving a removal efficiency greater than
95% of the contaminant.
