Insights into the heavy metal adsorption and immobilization mechanisms of CaFe-layered double hydroxide corn straw biochar: Synthesis and application in a combined heavy metal-contaminated environment
Abstract
Biochar is an emerging eco-friendly and high-efficiency heavy metal (HM) adsorbent that exhibits satisfactory HM remediation effects in both water and soil environments. However, few studies have investigated the mechanisms and application of biochar in the remediation of combined HM-contaminated environments. Therefore, in the present study, a novel corn straw biochar-loaded calcium-iron layered double hydroxide composite (CaFe-LDH@CSB) was synthesized via the coprecipitation method and applied as a remediation adsorbent to remove HMs in both water and soil environments. The results indicated that the HM adsorption mechanism of CaFe-LDH@CSB in the aquatic phase involved a chemical endothermic adsorption process of functional group-complexed monolayers, dominated by precipitation, ion exchange, complexation and π bond interactions. The maximum adsorption capacity for Cd(II), Pb(II), Zn(II) and Cu(II) in the aqueous phase reached 24.58, 240.96, 57.57 and 39.35 mg g-1, respectively. In addition, application of CaFe-LDH@CSB in the combined HM-contaminated soil treatment helped to increase the soil pH, which increased by 5.1-17.9% in low-contamination (LC) soil and by 7.0-13.9% in high-contamination (HC) soil. Moreover, application of CaFe-LDH@CSB effectively decreased the acid-soluble fraction of HMs and increased the HM residual fraction. The immobilization mechanism of CaFe-LDH@CSB in the soil was concluded to involve pore filling, functional group action and electrostatic interactions. Overall, this study provided a novel LDH biochar composite that can be effectively applied in the remediation of combined HM-contaminated water and soil environments.
