Abstract
Acidic soil (AS) has a severe effect on crop growth and human health, becoming an urgent issue in agriculture field. In this work, an acidic soil remediation agent (ASRA) was developed based on humified-sugarcane filtrate mud (SFM) and red mud (RM). Therein, hour-level humification of SFM was realized in one hour by degradation-polymerization reactions induced by •O2−, 1O2, SO42−•, and •OH generated from calcium hydroxide-activated sodium persulfate, fabricating an organic fertilizer rich in fulvic-like acid (FLA). To improve pH of AS, RM (pH 13.2) was added to the organic fertilizer to obtain ASRA. The as-prepared ASRA could significantly decrease dissolved divalent cadmium (Cd(II)) content in AS through hydrogen-bond, chelation, and precipitation interactions. In addition, pot experiment proved ASRA could remarkably increase AS pH, promote corn growth, and reduce Cd uptake. Therefore, this study provides a high-efficiency and simple method for SFM and RM recycling and remediation of Cd(II)-contaminated AS, which shows a huge application prospect.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the journal is to provide a respectful outlet for ''sound science'' papers in all research areas on surfaces and interfaces. We define sound science papers as papers that describe new and well-executed research, but that do not necessarily provide brand new insights or are merely a description of research results.
Surfaces and Interfaces publishes research papers in all fields of surface science which may not always find the right home on first submission to our Elsevier sister journals (Applied Surface, Surface and Coatings Technology, Thin Solid Films)
