Zur Sicherung von Deponien und Altlasten mit dem Ziel eines langfristig wirksamen Grundwasserschutzes werden seit Mitte der 80er Jahre Kombinationsdichtungen (Verbund aus Kunststoffdichtungsbahn und mineralischen Dichtschichten) eingesetzt. Um deren Langzeitbeständigkeit auch unter extremen Bedingungen bewerten zu können, wurden Permeationsmesszellen, welche die Verhältnisse in der Deponie nachstellen und über einen Zeitraum von 12 Jahren mit einem Mehrkomponentengemisch konzentrierter organischer Verbindungen beaufschlagt worden waren, zerlegt und die Auswirkungen der Schadstoffpermeation auf die Abdichtungsmaterialien untersucht. Schwerpunkte der hier vorgestellten Arbeiten waren Untersuchungen: - zur Auswirkung der Permeation des Gemisches an organischen Verbindungen auf die Eigenschaften der Kunststoffdichtungsbahn, - zur vertikalen Verteilung der organischen Verbindungen in den mineralischen Dichtungen, - zu Veränderungen mineralogischer, mikromorphologischer und bodenmechanischer Eigenschaften der mineralischen Dichtungsmaterialien, - zu mikrobiellen Aktivitäten in den mineralischen Dichtungen. Daneben wurden Stofftransportparameter bestimmt und eine Modellierung des Stofftransportes durchgeführt. Die verschiedenen untersuchten Materialien der Kombinationsdichtungen erwiesen sich unter den extremen Bedingungen als ein stabiles und effizientes Abdichtungssystem.

Quality assurance is an essential requirement in many areas of soil testing. Soil sampling plays an important role in soil investigation. One important quality assurance measure is evidence of the competence of institutions offering sampling services (testing laboratories) to carry out appropriate sampling. A special quality assurance procedure has been developed in the course of the investigation and assessment of suspected and contaminated sites on federal property. Testing laboratories are granted official recognition by an independent competent institution, based on well-defined criteria with regard to testing methodology and the qualifications held by the personnel. A prerequisite for such recognition is an effective accreditation procedure. Currently only testing laboratories with recognised status are commissioned for work on contaminated sites on federal property.
Composite liners (a geomembrane in intimate contact with a mineral liner) are frequently used to line landfills and contaminated sites. It is therefore very important to characterise the behaviour of these systems even under extreme conditions.
An investigation was undertaken to determine the influence of a mixture of concentrated organic contaminants on composite liner materials taken from test cells that had been dismantled after a 12-year permeation test.
The organic hydrocarbons had permeated the HDPE-geomembrane and had then migrated or had been adsorbed within the mineral liners, depending on their properties. The obtained concentration profiles of the contaminant mixture components indicate that the various mineral layer materials have selective retardation abilities which correspond to the different parameters of the organic compounds as well as of the mineral layer.
In addition, contaminant transport in the composite liners tested was modelled and the results of the model analysis compared with measurement data. An example (acetone) illustrates the calculated spatial and temporal contaminant concentration.
The composite liners investigated exhibit a very good sealing capacity against the concentrated organic contaminants used.

Methodical aspects of soil sampling regarding the requirements of the federal soil protection act
(2000)
The fabric of mineral liner materials that had been exposed to organic compounds over a 12-year period was investigated as part of a wider research project. Macromorphological and micromorphological changes in the fabric were identified using computed tomography and polarisation microscopy.
Special care was taken to ensure artefact free sampling and sample preparation, in particular, the drying method used, has a substantial influence on the quality of the thin sections.
Fabric changes due to contaminant permeation over several years are, by and large, relatively small and their intensity is material specific. Silty clay CML1, in particular, contains a somewhat greater number of fissures and voids in comparison with the original material. The superposition of various processes in both test procedures and sample preparation may lead to fabric changes which can impede interpretation of the results.
A thin-layer reference material for surface and near-surface analytical methods was produced and certified. The surface density of the implanted Sb layer was determined by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS), instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA), and inductively coupled plasma isotope dilution mass spectrometry (ICP-IDMS) equipped with a multi-collector. The isotopic abundances of Sb (121Sb and 123Sb) were determined by multi-collector ICP-MS and INAA. ICP-IDMS measurements are discussed in detail in this paper. All methods produced values traceable to the SI and are accompanied by a complete uncertainty budget. The homogeneity of the material was measured with RBS. From these measurements the standard uncertainty due to possible inhomogeneities was estimated to be less than 0.78% for fractions of the area increments down to 0.75 mm2 in size. Excellent agreement between the results of the three different methods was found. For the surface density of implanted Sb atoms the unweighted mean value of the means of four data sets is 4.8121016 cm-2 with an expanded uncertainty (coverage factor k=2) of 0.0921016 cm-2. For the isotope amount ratio R (121Sb/123Sb) the unweighted mean value of the means of two data sets is 1.435 with an expanded uncertainty (coverage factor k=2) of 0.006.
A layer of Sb atoms, implanted with an energy of 400 keV and a nominal dose of 5×1016 atoms/cm2 into a high purity silicon wafer, was certified for its areal density (atoms/cm2) using Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS), instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and inductively coupled plasma isotope dilution mass spectrometry (ICP-IDMS) and for its isotope ratio using INAA and ICP-IDMS. Excellent agreement between the results of the different independent methods was found. In the present work, the measurements of the homogeneity of the areal density of Sb, previously determined with RBS in spots having 1 mm diameter, are improved with synchrotron X-ray fluorescence analysis: Higher precision in even smaller sample spots allows to estimate a reduced inhomogeneity of the whole batch of samples of the order of only 0.4%. Thus the uncertainty of the certified value can further be reduced. Down to fractions of a chip with 0.3×0.4 mm2 area, the areal density is now certified as (4.81±0.06)×1016 Sb atoms/cm2, where the expanded uncertainty 0.06 (coverage factor k=2) corresponds to only 1.2%. The relative merits of the different analytical methods are discussed.
Volatile organic compounds (VOC) were investigated at a dry-cleaning facility of a former military site in Germany. VOCs have leaked into the unsaturated soil zone consisting of sandy aggragated material and fine to medium sand.
The groundwater table is located at 1.50 to 2.00 m.
The following investigations were performed:
·Soil sampling using an open window sampler, layer specific determination of VOC in the soil using gas chromatography after the following sample preparation procedure
- extraction with methanole
- extraction with pentane
- multiple headspace extraction (MHE) [1]
·Soil gas measurements, sampling using concentrating steps [2]
The various extraction procedures for VOC analysis in soil have yielded different
results. The results will be discussed with an emphasis on risk assessment, and recommendations for the procedure will be presented.

Elutionstests im Labormaßstab werden zur Ermittlung der Freisetzung von Schadstoffen aus Böden oder mineralischen Abfällen für die Verwertung in technischen Erdbau-werken durchgeführt. Sie sollen die Feldbedingungen möglichst realitätsnah wider-spiegeln und auch die Beurteilung der Freisetzung von Schadstoffen über längere Zeiträume ermöglichen. Aus diesem Grunde werden im Entwurf der novellierten BBodSchV neue Verfahren zur Eluatgewinnung aus den genannten Materialien festgeschrieben.
In der Bundes-Bodenschutz- und Altlasten-verordnung (BBodSchV) und im Arbeits-entwurf der Novellierung ist für den Wirkungspfad Boden-Grundwasser eine Sickerwasserprognose vorgesehen, um die Gefahren, die von kontaminierten Stand-orten für das Schutzgut Grundwasser ausgehen, beurteilen zu können. Bei der Sickerwasserprognose kann u.a. auf der Grundlage von Materialuntersuchungen im Labor die Quellstärke kontaminierter Ma-terialen ermittelt werden, welche dann bei Transportmodellierungen Berücksichtigung findet. Der Entwurf der Novellierung der BBodSchV sieht für die Ermittlung der Quellstärke den Übereinstimmungstest des Säulenversuchs nach DIN 19528 bis zu einem Wasser/Feststoff - Verhältnis (W/F) von 2 l/kg für anorganische und organische Stoffe (PAK) oder den Schüttelversuch nach DIN 19529 für anorganische Stoffe und E DIN 19527 für organische Stoffe auch jeweils mit einem W/F von 2 l/kg vor. Die Zulassung beider Elutionsverfahren setzt die Gleichwertigkeit der Ergebnisse beider Verfahren voraus. Im Folgenden werden die Ergebnisse des Vergleichs der Auslaugung von polyzyklischen aromat-ischen Kohlenwasserstoffen (PAK) aus unterschiedlichen Böden mit Hilfe beider Elutionsverfahren vorgestellt.
Mit dem Entwurf der im Januar 2011 vom Bundesumweltministerium vorgelegten Mantelverordnung, welche eine Novelle der Bundes-Bodenschutz- und Altlastenverordnung sowie der Grundwasserverordnung sowie die neue Ersatzbaustoffverordnung (ErsatzbaustoffV) umfasst, werden neue Methoden zur Herstellung von wässrigen Eluaten im Gesetzestext verankert, In der Novelle der BBodSchV werden in diesem Zusammenhang für organische Schadstoffe u.a. Säulen- oder Schüttelverfahren genannt. Bei den Säulenversuchen sollen Perlcolate bis zu einem Flüssigkeits-Feststoffverhältnis von 2 1/lcg entsprechend dem Übereinstimmungstest nach DIN 19528 gesammelt werden. Das Schüttelverfahren soll nach E DIN 19527 („Schüttelverfahren zur Untersuchung des Elutionsverhaltens von organischen Stoffen mit einem Wasser/Feststoff-Verhältnis von 2 1/lcg“) durchgeführt werden.
In der Ersatzbaustoffverordnung wird als Verfahren zur Herstellung von wässrigen Eluaten bisher nur das Säulenverfahren nach DIN 19528 („Perlcolationsverfahren zur gemeinsamen Untersuchung des Elutionsverhaltens von anorganischen und organischen Stoffen“) genannt.
In diesem Beitrag wird ein Vergleich der Ergebnisse von Säulen- und Schüttelverfahren als Übereinstimmungstest für Böden und Bodenmaterialien, welche mit polyzyklischen aromatischen Kohlenwasserstoffen (PAK) und Mineralölkohlenwasserstoffen (MICW) belastet sind, vorgenommen.
Synthetic athletic tracks and turf areas for outdoor sporting grounds may release contaminants due to the chemical composition of some components. A primary example is that of zinc from reused scrap tires (main constituent, styrene butadiene rubber, SBR), which might be harmful to the environment. Thus, methods for the risk assessment of those materials are required. Laboratory leaching methods like batch and column tests are widely used to examine the soil–groundwater pathway. We tested several components for artificial sporting grounds with batch tests at a liquid to solid (LS) ratio of 2 L/kg and column tests with an LS up to 26.5 L/kg. We found a higher zinc release in the batch test eluates for all granules, ranging from 15% higher to 687% higher versus data from column tests for SBR granules. Accompanying parameters, especially the very high turbidity of one ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber (EPDM) or thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) eluates, reflect the stronger mechanical stress of batch testing. This indicates that batch test procedures might not be suitable for the risk assessment of synthetic sporting ground components. Column tests, on the other hand, represent field conditions more closely and allow for determination of time-dependent contaminants release.
Artificial surfaces for outdoor sporting grounds may pose environmental and health hazards that are difficult to assess due to their complex chemical composition. Ecotoxicity tests can indicate general hazardous impacts. We conducted growth inhibition (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) and acute toxicity tests (Daphnia magna) with leachates obtained from batch tests of granular infill material and column tests of complete sporting ground assemblies. Ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber (EPDM) leachate showed the highest effect on Daphnia magna (EC50 < 0.4% leachate) and the leachate of scrap tires made of styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) had the highest effect on P. subcapitata (EC10 = 4.2% leachate; EC50 = 15.6% leachate). We found no correlations between ecotoxicity potential of leachates and zinc and PAH concentrations. Leachates obtained from column tests revealed lower ecotoxicological potential. Leachates of column tests of complete assemblies may be used for a reliable risk assessment of artificial sporting grounds.
Thin film chalcogenide photovoltaic technologies (CIGS, CdTe) make use of critical and toxic materials. Therefore a sound recycling of production waste and of end-of-life PV modules is essential to increase the availability of critical materials and to decrease the environmental impact of the products. Several processes to recover metals and semiconductors from thin-film PV modules have been developed, with some being operated at pilot scale. This paper presents an overview of proven recycling concepts. The approaches were divided into three steps: 'delamination of the modules', 'decoating of the substrate' and 'extraction and refining of the metals and semiconductors' to illustrate possible recycling paths. For each step feasible mechanical or chemical processes are presented and their advantages and drawbacks are described. The results show that recycling technologies for chalcogenide photovoltaic modules are sufficiently explored and commercially available. However, the responsibility to set up efficient collection and recycling systems is in the hands of the PV producers and must be supported by appropriate policies.

Laboratory leaching tests may be used for source term determination as a basis for risk assessment for soilgroundwater pathways on contaminated sites. In order to evaluate different leaching procedures, batch extraction tests and percolation tests were performed using three reference materials produced from contaminated soil, demolition waste and municipal solid waste incinerator bottom ash. Emphasis was placed on the investigation of the leachability of the heavy metals copper and chromium, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and the anions chloride and sulfate. Significant discrepancies between column experiments and batch/extraction tests were found for the release of PAHs and to a lesser extent for the heavy metals Cu and Cr. Additionally interlaboratory comparisons were conducted based on different leaching tests with the reference materials and evaluated using the criteria of comparability and reproducibility. The best reproducibility was achieved for all investigated substances in column tests. The reproducibility of batch tests was acceptable except for PAHs. The results from the experimental work will help establish standardized and feasible laboratory procedures as fundamental for substance specific risk assessment of contaminated sites.
This article presents a snapshot of key issues regarding characterization of granular waste materials with respect to their reuse as alternative construction materials, and the factors that need to be considered in their reutilization in order to comply with soil and groundwater protection regulations.
Laboratory leaching tests may be used for source term determination as a basis for risk assessment for soilgroundwater pathway (leachate forecast) on contaminated sites in Germany. Interlaboratory comparisons on the evaluation of the reproducibility of column percolation tests were conducted within the framework of an integrated R + D program using three waste reference materials.
The interlaboratory comparisons of column percolation tests showed good reproducibility of the results for inorganic and organic parameters as well as for the accompanying parameters. This is due to the stipulations concerning the time of contact between leachant and sample material as well as the sample placement in the columns. Different column dimensions used by the participants of the interlaboratory comparisons did not have any substantial influence on the column test results.

Ziel des Vorhabens ist es, die Robustheit des Schüttelverfahrens nach E DIN 19527 mit einem Wasser-/Feststoffverhältnis von 2 l/kg für unterschiedliche Bodenarten und Bodenmaterialien zu überprüfen. Gleichzeitig soll bei diesen Untersuchungen das Stoffspektrum auf weitere prioritäre organische Kontaminanten erweitert werden. Dies stellt die Voraussetzung für die Durchführung von Ringversuchen zur Validierung der Norm DIN 19527 dar.
Raw material supply is essential for all industrial activities. The use of secondary raw material gains more importance since ore grade in primary production is decreasing. Meanwhile urban stock contains considerable amounts of various elements. Photovoltaic (PV) generating systems are part of the urban stock and recycling technologies for PV thin film modules with CdTe as semiconductor are needed because cadmium could cause hazardous environmental impact and tellurium is a scarce element where future supply might be constrained. The paper describes a sequence of mechanical processing techniques for end-of-life PV thin film modules consisting of sandblasting and flotation. Separation of the semiconductor material from the glass surface was possible, however, enrichment and yield of valuables in the flotation step were non-satisfying. Nevertheless, recovery of valuable metals from urban stock is a viable method for the extension of the availability of limited natural resources.
When reusing or disposing of contaminated granular waste materials there is a need to evaluate how the contaminants will interact on the pathway soil-groundwater and the effect this interaction will have on the surrounding environment. While column testing can provide a closer approximation to field percolation conditions than batch testing, there is still a need to develop column testing procedures that consider the requirements of practical testing time frames. This study evaluates the effect of different column contact times (2.5, 5, and 16 h) on the release of inorganic constituents from bottom ash and demolition waste, two commonly reused granular materials. Leaching data for representative constituents of concern, such as copper, chromium, sulfate and chloride, as well as pH and electrical conductivity was compared for all different contact times studied.
Results for the materials investigated in this study showed that variations in contact time have no significant effect on the release of the selected constituents and leaching parameters at low liquid to solid ratios. However, after a liquid to solid ratio of 1 L/kg, the effect is more noticeable, and higher contact times show lower pH values as well as a reduction in the release of constituents of concern from bottom ash. In the case of demolition waste, the variation of contact time did not have a strong effect on the leaching behavior.
Mit der Novellierung der Bundes-Bodenschutzverordnung und der Einführung einer Ersatzbaustoffverordnung soll die ordnungsgemäße und schadlose Verwertung von mineralischen Abfällen im Boden bundeseinheitlich geregelt werden. Dabei sind die Erfordernisse des Boden- und Grundwasserschutzes zu beachten. In einer Reihe von F&E-Vorhaben der letzten Jahre wurden Vorschläge zur Verbesserung und Harmonisierung von Verfahren zur Bewertung des Eintrages von Schadstoffen in Boden und Grundwasser unterbreitet. Im Blickpunkt standen u.a. Elutionsmethoden zur Ermittlung der Quellstärke von schadstoffbelasteten Matrices. Vom DIN-Normenausschuss Wasserwesen, Unterausschuss "Eluierungsverfahren" wurden auf dieser Grundlage zwei Verfahren zur Elution von Bodenmaterialien und mineralischen Abfällen mit einer Korngröße bis 32 mm erarbeitet. Dabei handelt es sich um ein Säulenperkolationsverfahren zur gemeinsamen Untersuchung des Elutionsverhaltens von organischen und anorganischen Stoffen (DIN 19528) und ein Schüttelverfahren mit einem Wasser-/Feststoff-Verhältnis (W/F) von 2 l/kg zur Untersuchung der Elution von anorganischen Stoffen (DIN 19529). Um die Normen in den gesetzlichen Verordnungen zitieren zu können, war deren Validierung erforderlich, womit die BAM durch das UBA/BMU beauftragt wurde (FKZ 370733307). Auf der Grundlage von vier Referenzmaterialien mit anorganischen Schadstoffen und PAK wurden Ringversuchen durchgeführt. Es wurden die Kenndaten insbesondere zu Wiederholbarkeit und Reproduzierbarkeit der beiden Verfahren ermittelt.
Leaching experiments on the release of heavy metals and PAH from C&D waste and MSWI bottom ash
(2010)
Leaching tests are fundamental tools for the assessment of long-term impact of
contaminated waste materials on the soil-groundwater pathway. Waste materials should be
tested under conditions equal to their actual application in re-use scenarios to achieve reliable
results. Since the standards for leaching procedures available on international level so far are
either not validated or considered inadequate in respect to coarse grained materials, new
standards had to be developed. Therefore column percolation and batch test procedures have
been standardized and validated to enable their introduction to new German regulations
concerning waste management. Practical aspects of the test procedures as well as the
boundary conditions compared to the already existing standards will be described. Examples
including round robin test results will be given to justify the selection of the new
specifications.
