Immobilization of lead in anthropogenic contaminated soils using phosphates with/without oxalic acid

Understanding the effects of oxalic acid (OA) on the immobilization of Pb(II) in contaminated soils by phosphate materials, has considerable benefits for risk assessment and remediation strategies for the soil. A series of phosphate amendments with/without oxalic acid were applied to two anthropogenic contaminated soils. We investigated the immobilization of Pb(II) by KH₂PO₄, phosphate rock (PR), activated phosphate rock (APR) and synthetic hydroxyapatite (HAP) at different phosphate:Pb (P:Pb) molar ratios (0, 0.6, 2.0 and 4.0) in the presence/absence of 50 mmol oxalic acid/kg soil, respectively. The effects of treatments were evaluated using single extraction with deionized water or CaCl₂, Community Bureau of Reference (BCR) sequential extraction and toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) methods. Our results showed that the concentration of water extractable, exchangeable and TCLP-Pb all decreased with incubation time. The concentration of water-extractable Pb after 120 days was reduced by 100% when soils were amended with APR, HAP and HAP + OA, and the TCLP-Pb was < 5 mg/L for the red soil at P:Pb molar ratio 4.0.Water-soluble Pb could not be detected and the TCLP-Pb was < 5 mg/L at all treatments applied to the yellow-brown soil. BCR results indicated that APRwasmost effective, although a slight enhancement of water-soluble phosphate was detected at the P:Pbmolar ratio 4.0 at the beginning of incubation. Oxalic acid activated phosphates, and so mixing insoluble phosphates with oxalic acid may be a useful strategy to improve their effectiveness in reducing Pb bioavailability.     

磷矿粉和腐熟水稻秸秆对土壤铅污染的钝化

通过室内培养试验研究了磷矿粉和草酸活化磷矿粉与腐熟水稻秸秆配施及不同水分处理对土壤基本性质和铅形态变化的影响.结果表明,施用3种钝化材料都能提高土壤p H值、有效磷、交换性钙、阳离子交换量,其中活化磷矿粉效果最佳;与保持70%田间持水量相比,淹水处理增加p H、提高交换性钙效果更好,但有效磷较低.施用3种钝化材料能使可交换态铅减少,促进其向生物难利用态转变,活化磷矿粉对铅的钝化效果优于未活化的磷矿粉,两者最高分别可使交换态与对照相比降低40.3%和24.2%,且钝化效果与施用量呈正相关;腐熟水稻秸秆能增加土壤有机结合态铅;淹水处理可促使交换态铅向铁锰氧化物和残渣态转化.     

Screening hydroxyapatite for cadmium and lead immobilization in aqueous solution and contaminated soil: The role of surface area

Hydroxyapatite (HAP) has been widely used to immobilize many cationic metals in water and soils. The specific reason why an increase in the surface area of HAP enhances cadmium (Cd) uptake, but has no effect on lead (Pb) uptake, is not clear. The aim of this study was to determine the factors causing the differences in sorption behavior between Cd and Pb by evaluating HAPs with different surface areas. We synthesized HAPs with two different surface areas, which were characterized by X-ray diffraction, N₂ adsorption, and scanning electron microscopy, and then evaluated them as sorbents for Cd and Pb removal by testing in single and binary systems. The sorption capacity of large surface area HAP (1.85 mmol/g) for Cd in the single-metal system was higher than that of small surface area HAP (0.64 mmol/g), but there were no differences between single- and binary-metal solutions containing Pb. After the Cd experiments, the HAP retained a stable structure and intact morphology, which promotes the accessibility of reactive sites for Cd. However, a newly formed precipitate covered the surface and blocked the channels in the presence of Pb, which reduced the number of potential adsorption sites on HAP for Cd and Pb. Remediation experiments using Cd- and Pb-contaminated soil produced similar results to the solution tests. These results indicate that alterations of the structure and morphology during the reaction is an important factor influencing metal sorption to HAP.     

Field demonstration of in situ immobilization of soil Pb using P amendments

A long-term field-scale demonstration project on the feasibility of using P to immobilize Pb in a Pb-contaminated urban soil was conducted. Phosphate was applied at an average rate of 3040 mg P/kg soil based on a P/Pb molar ration of 4.0, with four treatments: T₀, no P application; T₁, H₃PO₄ only; T₂, 1/2 H₃PO₄+1/2 CaH₂PO₄; and T₃, 1/2 H₃PO₄+1/2 phosphate rock. Soil samples were collected and analyzed 220 days after the P applications. For all P treatments, toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) extractable Pb levels in surface soils (0-10 cm) were reduced to below 5.0 mg Pb/l, with T₂ also effective in reducing the TCLP Pb level in subsurface soils (10-30 cm, <4.63 mg/l). Sequential extraction analysis indicates that P was effective in transforming soil Pb from non-residual fractions to a residual fraction. Such a transformation was mainly through dissolution of Pb associated with carbonate fraction and precipitation of pyromorphite-like minerals, which were confirmed using X-ray diffraction (XRD). Among these three treatments, T₃ was the most effective in reducing Pb mobility and minimizing P and Pb leaching in the soil. Our research clearly demonstrates that P amendments were effective in immobilizing Pb in contaminated soil.     

Lead toxicity thresholds in 17 Chinese soils based on substrate-induced nitrification assay

The influence of soil properties on toxicity threshold values for Pb toward soil microbial processes is poorly recognized. The impact of leaching on the Pb threshold has not been assessed systematically. Lead toxicity was screened in 17 Chinese soils using a substrate-induced nitrification (SIN) assay under both leached and unleached conditions. The effective concentration of added Pb causing 50% inhibition (EC50) ranged from 185 to > 2515 mg/kg soil for leached soil and 130 to > 2490 mg/kg soil for unleached soil. These results represented > 13- and > 19-fold variations among leached and unleached soils, respectively. Leaching significantly reduced Pb toxicity for 70% of both alkaline and acidic soils tested, with an average leaching factor of 3.0. Soil pH and CEC were the two most useful predictors of Pb toxicity in soils, explaining over 90% of variance in the unleached EC50 value. The relationships established in the present study predicted Pb toxicity within a factor of two of measured values. These relationships between Pb toxicity and soil properties could be used to establish site-specific guidance on Pb toxicity thresholds.     

低分子有机酸对土壤中Cu化学形态的影响

向石英砂岩坡积物发育的红壤中添加系列浓度CuSO4模拟土壤Cu污染,然后加入不同浓度的低分子量有机酸培养,采用改进的BCR连续提取法评价低分子有机酸对重金属Cu形态的影响.结果表明,对不同程度的Cu污染(Cu 0～400mg·kg-1)土壤,随着有机酸添加浓度的升高,最具活性的弱酸溶解态Cu含量均有不同程度的提高,土壤重金属Cu得到活化;Cu活化效果随柠檬酸浓度升高而升高,随酒石酸和草酸浓度升高呈先上升后基本不变趋势;整体活化效果是柠檬酸>酒石酸≈草酸.可还原态Cu随着有机酸浓度的增加而减少,其中添加柠檬酸的处理减少最明显.当有机酸浓度为10 mmol·kg-1、20 mmol·kg-1时,酒石酸和草酸、柠檬酸活化Cu效果分别达到最优.     

磷酸盐、腐殖酸与粉煤灰联合钝化处理模拟铅镉污染土壤

本研究利用过磷酸钙、腐殖酸、粉煤灰及其复配组合钝化处理人工模拟Pb、Cd污染土壤,并采用CaCl_2浸取法、三乙三胺五乙酸(DTPA)浸取法以及BCR形态分级实验评价钝化效果,利用X射线衍射仪(XRD)和扫描电子显微镜能谱(SEMEDS)分析土壤表面微观形态与结构,进一步探究其钝化机制.结果表明,除了腐殖酸单一处理,其他不同钝化处理均能降低土壤CaCl_2和DTPA提取态Pb、Cd含量,其中先添加过磷酸钙和腐殖酸,然后再添加粉煤灰的联合处理实验组效果最佳.土壤pH值与CaCl_2、DTPA提取态Pb含量存在微弱的正相关关系,与CaCl_2、DTPA提取态Cd含量存在负相关关系,速效磷含量与二者都存在显著的负相关关系,说明速效磷含量是控制土壤Pb、Cd活性的主要因素.施用磷酸盐、腐殖酸和粉煤灰可以促进Pb、Cd由活性较高的弱酸提取态向活性低的残渣态转化,从而有效降低Pb、Cd的迁移能力.XRD和SEM-EDS分析表明,过磷酸钙钝化重金属的机制主要是通过离子交换作用将重金属转化为难溶的Ca-重金属混合磷酸盐,3种钝化剂联合作用机制主要通过溶解/沉淀以及表面吸附作用将重金属转化为稳定的磷酸铅沉淀[Pb_3(PO_4)_2]或者混合重金属矿物[PbFe_3(SO_4)(PO_4)(OH)_6],从而有效钝化重金属.     

Antimony leaching release from brake pads: Effect of pH,temperature and organic acids

Metals from automotive brake pads pollute water, soils and the ambient air. The environmental effect on water of antimony (Sb) contained in brake pads has been largely untested. The content of Sb in one abandoned brake pad reached up to 1.62 × 10⁴ mg/kg. Effects of initial pH, temperature and four organic acids (acetic acid, oxalic acid, citric acid and humic acid) on Sb release from brake pads were studied using batch reactors. Approximately 30% (97 mg/L) of the total Sb contained in the brake pads was released in alkaline aqueous solution and at higher temperature after 30 days of leaching. The organic acids tested restrained Sb release, especially acetic acid and oxalic acid. The pH-dependent concentration change of Sb in aqueous solution was best fitted by a logarithmic function. In addition, Sb contained in topsoil from land where brake pads were discarded (average 9 × 10³ mg/kg) was 3000 times that in uncontaminated soils (2.7 ± 1 mg/kg) in the same areas. Because potentially high amounts of Sb may be released from brake pads, it is important that producers and environmental authorities take precautions.     

不同磷源对土壤镉有效性的影响

外源添加磷和有机酸模拟铅污染土壤钝化效果及产物的稳定性研究

有机酸可提高土壤磷有效性,且能影响对重金属的固定,其在磷活化和重金属钝化方面具有非常复杂的功能.本研究以模拟铅污染土壤为对象,外源添加磷和柠檬酸,采用BCR三步连续提取法、0.01 mol·L-1CaCl2提取和毒性淋溶提取法(TCLP)评价有机酸存在下磷对模拟铅污染土壤的钝化效果;以苹果酸、NaNO3溶液为解吸剂探讨磷-柠檬酸-铅体系的稳定性.结果表明,无柠檬酸时,酸提取态Pb含量随磷浓度的增加而降低;加磷100 mg·kg-1、400 mg·kg-1时,酸提取态Pb含量随柠檬酸浓度增加而显著增加.残渣态Pb与酸提取态Pb的变化趋势相反,说明磷能降低土壤铅的生物有效性,柠檬酸则作用相反.有机酸浓度一定时,随磷浓度增加,0.01 mol·L-1CaCl2提取和TCLP提取的铅含量均呈降低趋势,表明磷具有钝化铅污染土壤的效果;但磷浓度一定时,它们提取铅含量随柠檬酸浓度增加表现出相反的变化趋势.土壤铅的解吸率随苹果酸浓度增加、pH值减小、离子强度增加而提高,且只添加磷处理的土壤铅解吸量较添加磷和柠檬酸共同处理的土壤少,前者钝化的铅稳定性更高.     

不同阴离子对水溶性磷酸盐稳定污染土壤中重金属的影响

在重金属污染土壤中加入磷酸盐是稳定重金属的有效方法.本研究的目的是探讨不同阴离子对水溶性磷酸盐稳定污染土壤铅、镉和锌的影响.在重金属复合污染土壤(全铅、镉和锌的含量分别为2337、21.4和391 mg·kg^-1)中按P:Pb=2:1 (mol:mol)加入磷酸二氢钙,之后按P:阴离子=3:1或3:2 (mol:mol)加入盐酸、氯化钠、硫酸、硫酸钠或氟化钠,并设置只加磷酸盐、不加其它试剂的对照,培养55 d,之后测定土壤性质.结果表明,与对照相比,HCl处理、2HCl处理、NaCl处理和2NaCl处理土壤DTPA-Pb含量下降比例依次为5.72%、9.29%、6.38%和8.80%(p<0.05),加入硫酸、硫酸钠的处理土壤DTPA-Pb含量与对照无显著差异(p>0.05),而加入氟化钠的处理升高4.70%(p<0.05).加入盐酸或氯化钠的处理土壤镉有效性显著高于对照(升高5.24%~12.8%)(p<0.05),其它处理对DTPA-Cd含量无显著影响(p>0.05).各处理对土壤DTPA-Zn含量和pH影响较小,但均引起土壤电导率明显升高.以上结果表明,氯离子可促进水溶性磷酸盐对土壤铅的稳定,但可促进镉有效性.氯磷酸铅的生成是加氯情况下磷酸盐稳定铅的重要机制.     

淋洗修复后残留土壤中重金属的再释放及环境风险

淋洗修复后残留土壤中的重金属会因外界环境的改变可能会发生再释放过程而使环境风险增加,淹水是农田土壤常见的管理模式之一,然而淹水介导的土壤环境条件的改变对淋洗修复后残留农田土壤中重金属的再释放和环境风险的变化影响尚不清楚.因此,本研究开展了持续淹水培养（180 d）对经柠檬酸（CA）、EDTA、FeCl₃和HCl淋洗修复后残留土壤中Cd、Pb和Zn的有效性、形态分配和环境风险的影响研究.结果表明随着培养时间的延长,经CA、EDTA和HCl淋洗后土壤中有效态Cd含量呈先增加后减少的趋势,有效态Pb含量增加,有效态Zn含量减少.经FeCl₃淋洗后土壤中有效态Cd、Pb和Zn含量随培养时间延长而增加.形态分析结果表明,淹水会使土壤E_h降低而致使铁锰氧化物的溶解,因此导致可还原态Pb含量向弱酸提取态Pb转移是有效态Pb含量增加的原因;土壤弱酸提取态Cd含量变化与土壤有效态Cd含量变化基本一致;淹水对淋洗修复后Zn形态的影响较小.基于改进的潜在生态风险指数法评价结果表明淹水使CA、EDTA和HCl淋洗后土壤Cd、Zn环境风险和重金属环境总风险减少,使Pb的环境风险增加.淹水后FeCl₃淋洗后土壤Cd、Pb和Zn环境风险及重金属环境总风险增加.由于FeCl₃淋洗后的土壤重金属污染状况较低且环境总风险（低风险）明显小于其它3种淋洗剂淋洗的土壤,因此,FeCl₃可成为Cd-Pb-Zn复合污染土壤的淋洗剂选择,但是需关注其淋洗修复后残留土壤中重金属的再释放并采取调控措施.本研究结果可为农田重金属污染土壤合适淋洗剂的选择和淋洗法修复重金属污染农田土壤的效果评估提供更为合理的指导思路.     

生物炭和草酸活化磷矿粉对镉镍复合污染土壤的应用效果

采用室内培养实验,利用生物炭和草酸活化磷矿粉对镉镍复合污染土壤进行修复,比较两者不同配比对土壤重金属镉镍的修复效果及对土壤无机氮和微生物量氮(MBN)转化的影响.结果表明,随着草酸活化磷矿粉和生物炭施用量的增加,土壤p H逐渐增加,镉和镍均由弱酸提取态逐渐向可还原态、可氧化态和残渣态转化,生物有效性降低.其中,C50P3(50 g·kg~(-1)生物炭与3 g·kg~(-1)草酸活化磷矿粉)配施的修复效果最好,弱酸提取态Ni占全量的质量分数降低了37.0%,残渣态Ni增加了14.8%,弱酸提取态Cd含量占全量的质量分数降低了40.2%,残渣态增加了35.2%.施用修复剂40 d后,相较于C0P0(空白对照)处理,C50P0(单施50 g·kg~(-1)生物炭)处理与C0P3(单施3 g·kg~(-1)草酸活化磷矿粉)处理微生物量氮含量均分别增加了1.5倍和1倍;铵态氮含量分别减少了12.5%和6.4%,硝态氮含量分别降低了11.6%和10.2%.综合比较可知,生物炭和草酸活化磷矿粉配施对土壤重金属镉镍复合污染的修复效果要优于单施,且50 g·kg~(-1)生物炭与3 g·kg~(-1)草酸活化磷矿粉(C50P3)配施的修复效果最好,修复剂的加入促进了土壤无机氮向有机氮的转化.     

钙、氯对磷酸盐稳定污染土壤中铅的促进作用研究

为探讨促进磷酸盐稳定污染土壤中铅的方法,在全铅含量为517 mg·kg-1的铅冶炼污染土壤中加入5 mmol·kg-1磷酸盐,同时加入10mmol·kg-1硝酸钙或5 mmol·kg-1氯化钾,在15%或30%的含水率下培养40 d,之后种植黑麦草.结果表明,与单独施用磷酸盐相比,采用磷酸盐与钙、氯结合或增加培养期间的土壤含水率后,土壤DTPA-Pb含量下降3.92%~26.1%;对于同一添加剂处理,培养期间土壤含水率从15%增加到30%,土壤有效铅(DTPA-Pb)含量下降8.83%~24.4%.增加土壤含水率后,土壤有效磷(Olsen-P)含量均显著升高(p0.05).土壤铅的EXAFS分析表明,与未施用磷酸盐的对照相比,土壤中加入磷酸盐后矿物态铅的比例由57%上升至81%,加施钙、氯或增加土壤含水率后,多数处理矿物态铅的比例有所下降,而有机结合态铅比例上升.与对照相比,污染土壤中施用磷酸盐后,植物产量大幅增加,但施用钙、氯或增加培养期间含水率后,部分处理植物产量有所下降.以上结果表明,在铅冶炼污染土壤中加入磷酸盐时,加入钙、氯或者增加土壤含水率均有利于铅的稳定,但以上措施可能对植物生长产生不利影响.

Structure and function of rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soil microbial community respond differently to elevated ozone in field-planted wheat

To assess the responses of the soil microbial community to chronic ozone (O₃), wheat seedlings (Triticum aestivum Linn.) were planted in the field and exposed to elevated O₃ (eO₃) concentration. Three treatments were employed: (1) Control treatment (CK), AOT40 = 0; (2) O₃-1, AOT40 = 1.59 ppm•h; (3) O₃-2, AOT40 = 9.17 ppm•h. Soil samples were collected for the assessment of microbial biomass C, community-level physiological profiles (CLPPs), and phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs). EO₃ concentration significantly reduced soil microbial carbon and changed microbial CLPPs in rhizosphere soil, but not in non-rhizosphere soil. The results of the PLFAs showed that eO₃ concentrations had significant effects on soil community structure in both rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils. The relative abundances of fungal and actinomycetous indicator PLFAs decreased in both rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils, while those of bacterial PLFAs increased. Thus the results proved that eO₃ concentration significantly changed the soil microbial community function and composition, which would influence the soil nutrient supply and carbon dynamics under O₃ exposure.     

磷酸盐对铅镉复合污染土壤的钝化修复研究

通过模拟实验,研究磷酸二氢钾、磷酸二氢钙和磷酸二氢铵3种磷酸盐对铅镉复合污染土壤的钝化效果,采用重金属形态分析和X-射线衍射法(XRD)探讨了钝化剂的修复机制。结果表明:3种磷酸盐处理可使土壤TCLP提取态Pb、Cd含量显著降低,其中磷酸二氢钙钝化效果最好,且随着投加量的增加,在n(P)/n(Pb+Cd)=5∶1时,钝化效率最高,对Pb、Cd的钝化率分别达到69.81%、35.18%。施加磷酸盐可使污染土壤中Pb、Cd从可交换态和碳酸盐结合态向残渣态转化,显著降低Pb、Cd的生物可利用性。X-射线衍射仪(XRD)检测发现,钝化后的土壤中有羟基磷铅矿、磷酸铅、磷酸镉等矿物晶体生成,表明3种磷酸盐对土壤中铅镉的钝化机理主要是生成难溶性磷酸盐沉淀和羟基磷铅镉矿物。     

不同类型土壤中As(Ⅴ)解吸行为的研究

氯和磷对土壤中水溶-可交换态铅的影响

在实验室培养条件下研究了氯离子(C1-)对含磷物质KH2PO4降低污染土壤中铅毒作用的影响.结果表明,在铅锌矿污染土壤中添加KH2P04显著降低了土壤中铅(Pb)的水溶-可交换态含量,降低幅度为92.0%-95.1%,显著降低了铅的生物有效性.数据统计分析表明, KH2PO4用量在P/Pb摩尔比为0.6时已足够修复土壤的铅毒,并且在此磷添加量水平时,加氯与不加氯比较,显著降低了土壤中Pb的水溶-可交换态含量,说明了添加氯对含磷物质降低铅毒有促进作用运.用Visual MINTEQ模型模拟计算的结果表明,添加磷和氯处理土壤后,土壤中Pb的活度主要受P的控制,尤其是磷氯铅矿[pyromorphite, Pb5(PO4)3 Cl]沉淀.在使用含磷物质修复铅污染土壤技术时,添加适量的氯,以达到最佳修复效果.     

石灰干化污泥稳定后土壤中Pb、Cd和Zn浸出行为的研究

以人工制备Zn、Pb、Cd污染土壤为研究对象,采用城市污水处理石灰干化污泥作为稳定剂,对污染土壤进行稳定化处理,并采用TCLP、SPLP、去离子水浸提和优化的BCR连续提取法对稳定化效果进行分析和评价.结果表明,单独使用石灰干化污泥,TCLP浸出浓度随着干化污泥质量分数的增加而显著减少,干化污泥的质量分数为40%时,稳定化率最大为Zn-99.54%、Pb-99.60%、Cd-99.85%.SPLP和去离子水浸出评价稳定效果时,Pb和Zn在加入质量分数10%和20%的干化污泥时浸出明显降低,但在加入30%和40%时由于在强碱条件Pb和Zn会再溶出,导致稳定效果变差.为了恢复植物生长功能,经过FeSO4和H3PO4调节pH后,石灰干化污泥稳定过的土壤pH有效降低,同时FeSO4和H3PO4有利于促进Pb和Zn的稳定效果.经稳定化后,土壤中的重金属可交换态降低,限制了土壤重金属的迁移.该研究结果表明石灰干化污泥可以再利用,应用于重金属污染土壤的稳定化修复中,并能改善稳定后土壤适宜植物生长的理化性质.
