Description
This study, on innovative methods for the capture of metals from stormwater, mainly focused on two major areas of investigation: media filters and swales. Twelve media were chosen for initial evaluation. The three best performing media: peat-sand mix, compost, and zeolite were then selected for in-depth study. The results of this investigation emphasize the importance of characterizing the stormwater before selecting a treatment media since the type and quantity of metals, pH, and other runoff characteristics can vary a great deal between sites. For example, determining the range of metal concentrations to be treated is crucial to selecting the best media, since the removal efficiencies of the media relative to each other changed with varying metal concentration. Media that were effective at high metals concentrations were outperformed by some media at the low metals concentrations typically found in stormwater. Upflow columns proved more effective than downflow columns in the control of detention time and a reduction in clogging of the media by solids and associated head loss in the column. Studies on the effect of anaerobiosis on metal retention by filter systems indicated that heavy metals were not mobilized from filter systems under anaerobic conditions. It was found that metal retention within the filters was not different from what was observed in oxygenated environments. However, it is plausible that under certain specific environmental conditions, co-precipitation of metals by iron- and sulfate- reducing bacteria may take place in stormwater treatment systems. Tests also indicate that the heavy metals of concern remain strongly bound to the particulates during long exposures at the extreme pH conditions likely to occur in receiving water sediments. They will also likely remain strongly bound to the particulates in stormwater control device sumps or detention pond sediments where particulate-bound metals are captured.
