Soil contamination by heavy metals is a serious global environmental issue, and a novel soil remediation agent, composite hydrogel, has been developed to simultaneously remediate and improve fertility in contaminated soil. The experimental results showed that the composite hydrogel effectively reduced the oxidizable state proportions of heavy metals in contaminated soil and enhanced soil fertility. Additionally, the hydrogel weakened the toxic effect of heavy metals on plant seeds, suggesting its potential for practical application in environmental remediation.
Soil contamination by heavy metals constitutes a serious global environmental problem, and numerous remediation technologies have been developed. In this study, a novel soil remediation agent, namely composite hydrogel (leftover rice-g-poly(acrylic acid)/montmorillonite/Urea, LR-g-PAA/MMT/urea), was prepared based on free radical polymerization cross-linking technology. Experimental results indicated that the LR-g-PAA/MMT/urea dosage increased from 0% to 10%, the oxidizable state proportions of Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn in contaminated soil increased from 8.3%, 23.7%, 54.0% and 11.4%e71.3%, 61.0%, 76.5%, and 27.9%, respectively. Compared with control experiment, the residue state growth rate were 56.6%, 23.4% and 39.8% for Cu, Pb and Zn respectively with 10% dosage of composite hydrogel. Simultaneously, the LR-g-PAA/MMT/urea was also seen to enhance soil fertility, including organic matter content, cation exchange capacity, and N and P contents. Pot experiments for biological toxicity suggested that the addition of hydrogel weakened the toxic effect of heavy metals on cotton seeds, and the action effect was increasingly visible with the increase of hydrogel dosage. The analysis of the mechanism involved suggested that the organic matter and its possessed characteristic functional groups could weaken the biological toxicity via complexation, adsorption, and ion exchange. Overall, the synthesized composite hydrogel exhibits great potential for the simultaneous remediation and fertility improvement of heavy metal contaminated soil. (C) 2021 Elsevier Ltd.
