This study reports the use of highly porous 3D-printed sorbents containing red mud, a hazardous waste from the alumina industry, for the remediation of acid mine drainage (AMD). The sorbents showed high adsorption capacity for multiple metal elements and were successfully regenerated for reuse, providing a new solution for managing hazardous AMD.
The mining industry is one of the largest sources of environmental concern globally. Herein we report for the first time the application of highly porous 3D-printed sorbents containing high amounts (50 wt%) of red mud, a hazardous waste derived from the alumina industry, for the remediation of acid mine drainage (AMD). The sorption capacity of the inorganic polymers was initially evaluated for the simultaneous removal of five metal (loid) elements, namely Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and As(V) in synthetic wastewater. The effect of the initial concentration, pH and contact time were assessed, reaching removal efficiencies between 64% and 98%, at pH 4 and initial concentration of 50 mg L-1 of each cation, after 24 h of contact time. The 3D-printed lattices were then used for the remediation of the real AMD water samples, and the role of adsorption and acidic neutralization was investigated. Lattices were also successfully regenerated and reused up to five cycles without compromising their performance. This work paves the way for the use of an industrial waste derived from the production of alumina as raw material for the management of the hazardous AMD.
