Using Calcined Waste Eggshells to Remove Sulfate in Nonpotable Concrete Mixing Water

Gevaudan, Juan Pablo / Craun, Zoey M. / Srubar, Wil V.

The experimental and theoretical potential of using calcined waste eggshells (CWEs) to remove sulfate from sulfate-laden concrete mixing water was investigated in this work. Waste eggshells were first calcined at 800°C and batch-reacted with sodium sulfate solutions. Laboratory experiments elucidated the effect of initial sulfate concentration, temperature of reaction, and CWE particle size on total sulfate removal. Experimental results indicate a maximum sulfate removal of $29.5 % \pm 2.2 %$ via calcium sulfate mineral precipitation in laboratory batch reactions. To quantify the maximum sulfate removal potential of CWEs, batch reactions were simulated using PHREEQC, a geochemical code. After validating the simulation approach with experimental data obtained herein, PHREEQC was used to investigate the maximum sulfate removed as a function of CWE addition ( $g / L$ ). Results indicate that sulfate-laden waters ( $\leq 4,000 ppm$ ) can be decreased to $\leq 3,000 ppm$ with CWE additions of $\geq 3 g / L$ in order to comply with the standard specification for maximum allowable sulfates in water intended for use in the production of hydraulic cement concrete.
