Abstract
Use of bauxite refining residue to reduce the mobility of heavy metals in municipal
waste compost.
PhD thesis by
Harrie Hofstede
Due to the adverse environmental impact of landfills and the lack of space for nearby
population centres an unprecedented interest has developed in waste recycling with the
objective to reduce the volume of waste disposed. Generally organic matter represents the
largest fraction in the domestic waste stream including food, garden and paper waste.
In the past efforts have been made to process this organic fraction into muniapal compost.
However contamination of the compost with heavy metals has in many cases resulted in the
lack of suitable markets and subsequent closure of compost facilities. A study was
undertaken and aimed at reducing the concentration and mobility of heavy metals in
municipal compost.
Bauxite refining residue ha; a high capacity to immobilise metals in soils through
precipitation, cation exchange and chemisorption (Fe- and Al- oxides).
The first step in the study was to assess the metal adsorption capacity of red mud by
equilibrating red mud with metal solutions. Metal removal from solution proved very high.
Subsequently, the effect of red mud addition to municipal compost was studied in relation
to metal mobility. In particular the interaction of metals with the mobile soluble organic
fraction, the humic and fulvic acids, was investigated. It was found that most metals
remained in the insoluble humin fraction and the metals in solution remained complexed to
the soluble organic fraction. Red mud appeared to be able to adsorp fulvic and humic acids
and thus indirectly immobilise the metals in solution. Red mud did not appear to be able to
transfer metals from the organic fraction to the mineral red mud fraction.

ft was kypothesised that, in order for the metals to be adsorped to red mud, the red mud
needed to be present in the organic waste prior to composting. Metal adsorption to red mud
is a rapid chemical reaction while metal complexation to the organic fraction takes a
number of weeks, since it must be sufficiently oxidised to contain functional groups
fn order to verify this hypothesis, an installation with seven incubators was developed
which allowed composting to be undertaken under computer controlled conditions and
monitored for temperature, airflow and carbon dioxide respiration. The incubators were
filled with 10 kg of a mixture of grass clippings and sawdust. The first incubator functioned
as a control. The contents of the rest of the incubators were spiked with the following
metals: Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn. In addition the contents of the 3rd - 7th incubators were
amended with an increasing percentage of red mud, respectively 10,20,25,30 and 40 % by
weight. After the mixture was composted, the metal mobility was reduced by approx. 80 -
99 %, depending on the metal. The mobility was assessed as leachable and plant available
in relation to the total metal content. Red mud did not affect the composting process if < 40
% red mud was added.
The next step was to compost municipal organic waste in a pilot plant (capacity 5 m3) using
batches with and without red mud. Mixed waste was collected from 150 households and
the glass, metal and plastic fractions were removed bx- manual sorting. The rest was
composted.
The red mud - compost had a relatively lower metal content and a reduced metal mobility
compared to compost without red mud. The red mud - compost also had a 300 times higher
pH buffer capacity and 90 O/O less soluble organic matter.
The addition of red mud prior to composting was found to reduce the concentration and
mobility of metals in compost, improve the quality of compost as a soil conditioner,
increased the resistance of the organic fraction against further breakdown and this process
thus adds value to both red mud and organic waste.
