Abstract
A composite FeAl-LDH@BC obtained by successfully loading FeAl-LDH onto biochar (BC) is used to the Cr(VI)-contaminated soil remediation. The efforts of loading, initial pH, concentration and dosage are investigated. The results indicate that the immobilization process of Cr(VI) in soil could be well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and maximum adsorption capacity of FeAl-LDH@BC is 42.78 mg/g at a temperature of 298 K. Additionally, The physicochemical properties of FeAl-LDH@BC are characterized by SEM, EDS, XRD, FTIR and XPS. The characterization results suggest that the immobilization mechanism involved adsorption and reduction. Cr(VI) is immobilized by adsorption to the layers of FeAl-LDH, the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) is then accomplished using Fe(II) as a reducing agent. In order to demonstrated the stability of composites for environmental restoration, the TCLP tests, dry-wet, freeze-thaw aging cycles, soil phytotoxicity tests, and microbial community are analyzed. The study shows that we provided a material for soil immobilization with high performance for the remediation of Cr(VI)-contaminated soil.
