To investigate the remediation effects and mechanisms of iron sulfide-modified biochar (FeS-BC) on polluted soil surrounding an antimony smelting plant, soil from around a decommissioned antimony smelting plant in the Qinglong County, Guizhou Province, was used as the research subject. Through soil cultivation experiments, the effects of raw biochar (BC) and iron sulfide-modified biochar (FeS-BC) on the leaching toxicity, bioavailability, and speciation of antimony (Sb) in the soil were compared. The results showed that with an FeS∶BC mass ratio of 1∶5 and an addition rate of 7%, the average stabilization efficiency of Sb in soils with varying degrees of Sb pollution (G1-G6) reached 66.

Bioaugmented slurry technology is a sustainable remediation technology for PAHs-contaminated soil. However, the lack of experimental data on the remediation of complex, actual contaminated soils has hindered the practical application of this technology. This study explored the bioaugmented degradation of PAHs using actual soil slurry with and without the addition of microbial agents in the microscopic world.

Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted on soil from an abandoned antimony smelting factory in Guizhou Province, collecting 14 soil samples to assess heavy metal pollution, focusing on elements like Sb, As, and Cd.
  • Results showed high concentrations of heavy metals in the soil, particularly Sb and As, which significantly exceeded background levels, indicating severe contamination.
  • The ecological risk assessment revealed that Sb, As, and Cd posed severe risks, while other metals presented moderate to substantial risks; Sb was identified as a critical pollutant needing remediation.

The presence of microplastics (MPs) in water may affect the efficacy of the disinfection process and induce toxicity changes to MPs themselves during disinfection. Therefore, this study evaluated the two-way effects of polyethylene microplastic (MP) particles in water and wastewater during sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) disinfection. On the one hand, it has been confirmed that the presence of MPs reduced the disinfection efficiency of NaClO.

In order to achieve rapid, sensitive, and high-throughput determination of typical semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) in soil samples, a method for the rapid determination of 63 SVOCs in soil was developed by optimizing and improving the QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe) extraction technique in conjunction with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. A small amount of soil sample (5.0 g) was vortexed with 10 mL of a mixture of acetone and -hexane (V/V = 1 : 1) for 2 min, followed by rapid vortex purification and centrifugation using a mixture of copper powder and octadecylsilane (C18) dispersant.

Bio-slurry remediation technology, as a controllable bioremediation method, has the significant advantage of high remediation efficiency and can effectively solve the problems of high energy consumption and secondary pollution of traditional organic pollution site remediation technology. To further promote the application of this technology in the remediation of organically polluted soil, this paper summarizes the importance and advantages of bio-slurry remediation technology compared with traditional soil remediation technologies (physical, chemical, and biological). It introduces the technical infrastructure and its technological processes.
