Abstract
The current research studied how Fe3O4 nanomaterials (NMs) and CaO2 affect humification and Cr(VI) immobilization and reduction during the composting of oil-tea Camellia meal and Cr-contaminated soil. The results showed that Fe3O4 NMs and CaO2 successfully construct a Fenton-like reaction in this system. The excitation-emission matrix-parallel factor (EEM-PARAFAC) demonstrated that this Fenton-like treatment increased the generation of humic acids and accelerated the humification. Meantime, RES-Cr increased by 5.91 % and Cr(VI) decreased by 16.36 % in the treatment group with CaO2 and Fe3O4 NMs after 60 days. Moreover, the microbial results showed that Fe3O4 NMs and CaO2 could promote the enrichment of Cr(VI) reducing bacteria, e.g., Bacillus, Pseudomonas, and Psychrobacter, and promote Cr(VI) reduction. This study gives a novel view and theoretical reference to remediate Cr(VI) pollution through composting.
