Abstract:
      Soil contamination of Sb and As in mining areas of China is quite serious. Chemical stabilization is one of important methods for remediation of Sb and As contaminated soil. Using rice straw as raw material, a Fe-loading biochar with specific surface area of 33.11 m2/g was prepared by hydrothermal carbonization. Fe loading significantly enhanced carbonization and improved biochar characteristics. Fe-loading biochar has higher performances for stabilizing Sb(Ⅴ) and As(Ⅴ) than that for Sb(Ⅲ) and As(Ⅲ). Stabilization percentage of water-soluble As(Ⅴ) and Sb(Ⅴ) is 51.22% and 58.33% respectively. Stabilization percentage of bioavailable As(Ⅴ) and Sb(Ⅴ) is 53.67% and 52.33% respectively. Stabilization of soil antimony and arsenic by Fe-loading biochar contributes to transformation of non-specifically adsorbed and specifically adsorbed antimony and arsenic to poorly crystalline and crystalline iron-aluminum oxide combined state.
