ABSTRACT
Biochar and iron ore tailing waste have been widely separately applied for remediation of various contaminants, but the remediation effect of their combination on cadmium (Cd) pollution is unclear. In this study, the peanut biochar (BC), thermally activated iron ore tailing waste (TS), and the products of the co-pyrolysis of peanut shell and iron ore tailing waste (TSBC) were prepared for stabilizing Cd and reducing its bio-accessibility in soil and peanut seedling system. Present amendments enhanced soil pH, cation exchange capacity, electrical conductivity, and organic carbon content. The application of BC, TS, and TSBC led to decreases in acid-extractable Cd proportion of 2.2-8.81%, 2.43-7.20%, and 7.84-11.57%, respectively, and increases in the residual Cd proportion of 3.48-8.33%, 3.27-11.50%, and 9.02-13.45%, respectively. There were no significant differences in Cd accumulation in peanut roots due to three amendments treatments, especially at low Cd concentrations (i.e., Cd concentration of 0, 1, and 2 mg·kg-1), and with a relatively small reduction (2.16-9.05%) in root Cd accumulation under the high Cd treatments of 5 and 10 mg·kg-1. The Cd concentrations in seedling roots were significantly positively related to the acid-extractable Cd fraction, with a Pearson correlation coefficient of r = 0.999. The maximum toxicity mitigating effects were found in TSBC treatment, with increases in the ranges of 9.80-17.58% for fresh weight, 5.59-14.99% for dry weight, 5.16-10.17% for plant height, 5.96-10.34% for root length, 5.43-21.67% for chlorophyll a content, 17.17-71.28% for chlorophyll b content, and 13.11-39.60% for carotenoid content in peanut seedlings. Therefore, TSBC is a promising amendment for minimizing Cd contamination in peanut crops and utilizing industrial solid waste materials efficiently.
