Abstract
Bound residual (BR) fraction typically represents the "endpoint" of soil pollution risk assessment and remediation. However, it remains unclear whether the BR fraction of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) still presents a release risk after immobilized by biochar. Therefore, the SMX migration rate in different fractions were quantified. Results revealed that there are three extractable fractions of SMX in biochar-soil systems, allowing the migration of SMX among these various fractions. 1.0 % biochar could increase 8.5 %∼14.1 % BR fraction and 17.9 %∼36.9 % non-extractable fraction, respectively. Model simulations and Sobol Global Sensitivity Analysis results revealed that migration of SMX from BR fraction to labile fraction or stably-adsorbed fraction significantly affects overall fraction migration, suggesting BR fraction still poses a potential release risk. When considering the BR fraction, the half-life of SMX extended to 93.8 ∼ 132.0 days. Thus, the potential release risk of SMX in the BR fraction should not be overlooked when applying biochar for soil remediation.
