    Abstract:
    Heavy metal-containing gypsum is a widespread hazardous waste. In this work, H+ was found to be the most essential factor of the mineralizers in hydrothermal treatment to completely (≥99.8%) extract Cr(VI) from gypsum waste to the supernatant, where the significant growth (from several μm to several hundreds of μm) and perfection of the gypsum crystals were observed. Moreover, with increasing concentration of H+, the crystal growth (undergoing Ostwald ripening process) was accelerated and the phase transformation temperature of gypsum was decreased from 110℃ (at 0.2 mol/L of HCl) to 100℃ (at 0.3 mol/L of HCl), which are favorable to enhance Cr(VI) extraction efficiency. Pilot experiments further certified this method to be practicable even in ton-scale. This work proposes a practicable and universal method to completely extract Cr(VI) from gypsum waste, and would also inspire the recycle of gypsum waste containing other heavy metals, such as As, Pb, Cd, and Hg.
