IV ABSTRACT Arsenic has found widespread use as a component in a variety of formulations designed to control or eliminate a variety of insect and fungicidal pests. Arsenical wastes are also often produced during the extraction of metals such as copper, gold, nickel and tin. Consequently, there are large numbers of sites contaminated with toxic arsenic residues. The environmental treatment of arsenic is complicated by the fact that it has a variety of valence states. This, coupled with the plurality of regulatory leaching test variants used, has made it impossible to gauge which of a number of Solidification/Stabilization (S/S) processes are the most effective. Cement based Solidification/Stabilization technology currently provides the most promising solution for the disposal of arsenic wastes. This thesis has shown that Solidification/Stabilization is a technology capable of significantly reducing arsenic leachate concentrations to well below regulatory limits. This thesis reports studies carried out to evaluate the process of Solidification/Stabilization (S/S) for rendering "safe" a variety of arsenic compounds in both of the common oxidation states, +111 and +V. The compounds studied included: • Arsenic trioxide, • Arsenic pentoxide, • Sodium arsenite, • Sodium arsenate, • Lead arsenate. The three S/S formulations, all containing approximately 10% arsenic, investigated were: • Cement only, • Cement + ferrous sulfate, • Cement + lime. The stability of the S/S formulations was evaluated with both current regulatory leaching tests (i.e.. Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) and the Australian Bottle Leaching Procedure), sequential leaching tests, and column leaching tests. Clear differences in the efficacy of the S/S formulations in immobilizing arsenic were observed. The results did not merely reflect differences in the solubilities of the arsenic compounds formed, but were greatly affected by the interaction (positive or negative) that the arsenic compounds and/or additives had upon the cementation reactions. Microstructural analysis, using both FTIR and SEM, revealed the greatest changes to the matrices of the [cement + iron] formulations. The lower pHs of these formulations increased the extent of silicate polymerization, which is known to be destructive to cement matrices. Ettringite, which increases porosity, was also identified in these matrices. These detrimental changes to the matrices, coupled with their lower calcium content, explain the generally poorer performance of these matrices. The leaching of calcium has been shown to influence the leaching of arsenic. Those formulations containing large calcium contents were shown to be generally the most successful. The [cement + iron] formulations were shown to leach arsenic levels far in excess of those leached by the formulations containing greater calcium contents ([cement only] and [cement + lime]). Besides identifying that calcium rich S/S formulations are generally the most effective, regardless of the arsenic oxidation state, this research has identified the following. 1. Even if arsenic is present in the same oxidation state, the success of a given S/S process can vary greatly between one arsenic compound and another. 2. The S/S of arsenical wastes was shown to be the most effective when arsenic was present as the arsenate species (+V). VI 3. S/S formulations that behave most favorably in one type of leaching test do not always behave as satisfactorily when subjected to a different form of leaching test. This thesis, while reinforcing the general notion that the current regulatory tests are very severe and consequently not useful as a guide to contaminant levels that may be leached once the treated waste is placed in a landfill, questions the ability of current regulatory tests to positively identify those S/S matrices that will, indeed, behave most favorably. However, the results of this thesis work do not provide sufficient data to recommend a more appropriate alternative regulatory test.

Arsenic was ex- tensively used as an agent for secret poisoning during the latter part of the 17th century, one Italian woman being credited with the death of 600 people. The danger of arsenic poisoning from wall paper was pointed out by Gmelin in 1839, It has since been shown that arsine and its derivatives may be produced by the action of certain molds on wall papers colored with arsenic bearing pigments. Poisoning may also occur from the consumption of beverages such as beer and wine from which spray residues have not been removed. Certain important industrial metals, particularly zinc, often contain significant traces of arsenic. In the presence of acids such metals give off hydrogen which converts the arsenic present into arsine. Such incidents, all too common in industry, frequently result in death of the workers ex- posed to the arsine gas. Accidental poisoning by arsine gas undoubtedly constitutes the most serious industrial hazard so far as arsenic and its compounds are concerned.
