Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) possess opposing geochemical patterns in soils, leading to simultaneous stabilization difficulties in contaminated soil. Our previous study indicated that magnetic porous coal gangue-based material (MPCG) possesses excellent potential for simultaneously reducing the availability of Cd and As. However, the effect of MPCG on the uptake of Cd and As by plants in contaminated soil remains unclear. This work systematically investigated the effects of MPCG on Cd and As bioaccumulation in Brassica chinensis L. The impacts of MPCG on soil properties, Cd and As availability, bioaccumulation, and rhizosphere bacterial communities were carefully investigated. MPCG treatment significantly increased the available phosphorus(P), potassium(K), and silicon (Si) concentrations in contaminated soil while reducing available iron (Fe) concentrations. The 3 % (wt/wt) MPCG was applied to stabilize Cd and As, which could significantly decrease their availability by 15.98 % and 58.98 %, respectively. MPCG also enhanced the abundance of aioA and dsrA by 236.83 % and 129.60 %, respectively, and reduced Geobacyeraceae by 88.06 %. Moreover, the bioaccumulation of Cd and As in plant shoots was significantly reduced by 39.53 % and 49.37 %, respectively. MPCG-treated soil could also obviously reduce Cd absorption by promoting Si absorption in plants. Lastly, the plant biomass in the MPCG-treated soil increased by 48.97 %, and the Cd and As concentrations in the plant shoots met the Chinese national standard limits. This work offers insights into the effectiveness of the low-carbon MPCG treatment method on Cd and As co-contaminated soils.
期刊介绍:
The Process Safety and Environmental Protection (PSEP) journal is a leading international publication that focuses on the publication of high-quality, original research papers in the field of engineering, specifically those related to the safety of industrial processes and environmental protection. The journal encourages submissions that present new developments in safety and environmental aspects, particularly those that show how research findings can be applied in process engineering design and practice.
PSEP is particularly interested in research that brings fresh perspectives to established engineering principles, identifies unsolved problems, or suggests directions for future research. The journal also values contributions that push the boundaries of traditional engineering and welcomes multidisciplinary papers.
PSEP's articles are abstracted and indexed by a range of databases and services, which helps to ensure that the journal's research is accessible and recognized in the academic and professional communities. These databases include ANTE, Chemical Abstracts, Chemical Hazards in Industry, Current Contents, Elsevier Engineering Information database, Pascal Francis, Web of Science, Scopus, Engineering Information Database EnCompass LIT (Elsevier), and INSPEC. This wide coverage facilitates the dissemination of the journal's content to a global audience interested in process safety and environmental engineering.
