Abstract
The utilization of construction and demolition debris in industrial
wastewater treatment by sorption of Co2+ and Ni2+ ions was investigated.
Selected waste composites are cost-effective and locally available, still
their sorption characteristics and application are not sufficiently
investigated. The samples of concrete, facade, ceramic materials, and
asphalt were characterized in terms of mineral and surface composition,
radioactivity, and stability at different pH values, as well as pH values of
suspension and filtrate and electrical conductivity of the filtrate. The
sorption capacities were determined in batch experimental conditions in one-
and multi-component solutions. Characterization showed different crystal
structures and mineralogical compositions of components. The results of
gamma spectrometry confirmed the radiological safety of samples. Based on
stability testing results, waste materials are suitable for further
utilization and do not pose any risk to the environment. The overall
sorption results suggested that cement-based materials, in addition to high
affinity for the tested ions, represent a sorbent that binds contaminants
firmly enough, reduces their mobility and bioavailability, and are suitable
for removing Co2+ and Ni2+ ions from wastewaters.
