Abstract:
Stabilization/Solidification is the most widely method for remediating heavy metal-contaminated soils, but traditional agents exhibit limited effectiveness for arsenic(As)immobilization. Fe-Mn modified biochar(FMBC)was employed as a stabilizer to immobilize As in contaminated soil through oxidation, adsorption, and coprecipitation, followed by cement-based solidification; the remediation effect and mechanisms were investigated via toxicity leaching test, unconfined compressive strength(UCS)and pH testing, microscopic morphology and spectroscopic analyses. The results show that FMBC outperforms both Fe-Mn oxide(FMO)and biochar(BC)under identical dosages of stabilizer and cement; for the contaminated soil with As content of 2 000×10-6, the As leaching concentration decreases to 1.7 mg·L-1(fixation efficiency is 98.18%)at 7% FMBC and 10% cement dosage, meeting the hazardous waste leaching threshold; while BC reduces the strength of solidified bodies, FMO enhances early hydration to improve strength; notably, FMBC mitigates As leaching risks under high alkalinity by releasing H+ via Fe(Ⅲ)hydrolysis; sequential extraction reveals that FMBC promotes the transformation of exchangeable As to iron-manganese oxide-bound and residual fractions; microscopic and spectroscopic analyses indicates that manganese oxides in FMBC oxidizes 86.6% of As(Ⅲ)to less toxic and mobile As(Ⅴ), while iron oxides/hydroxides exhibit strong adsorption and precipitation capacities for As; BC reduces FMO agglomeration effectively, providing additional interfacial active sites to enhance stabilization; furthermore, FMBC facilitates the formation of hydration products(e.g. calcium silicate hydrate and ettringite), strengthening the encapsulation and ion exchange for As immobilization. This study expands the application of BC in cement-based systems, and provides theoretical and technical support for FMBC-cement synergistic stabilization/solidification of As(Ⅲ)-contaminated soils.
