Abstract:
      In this article, laboratory culture experiments were carried out to investigate the stabilization effects and ecological impacts on three As and heavy metal co-contaminated soils stabilized by Fe-Mn binary oxides(FMBO). In the extraction experiments, the results showed that FMBO could reduce the concentration of available As and heavy metals in the soils, which could decrease 93.7%~100%, 30.8%~57.8%,81.3%~95.0%,66.7%~95.3%,55.8%~100% of available As, Pb, Cd, Zn, Cu after adding FMBO under 5% mass percentage dosage. In the seed germination experiments, the results showed that under 0%~2.5% mass percentage dosage, FMBO could reduce the toxic effects of As and heavy metals on the growth and development of plants in the soils.Under 2.5% mass percentage dosage, the seed germination rate, root length, seedling length could reach 86%~92%, 7.25~9.09 cm, 8.62~9.91 cm respectively, which were the best of all treatments. But when the FMBO addition reached 5%, it could inhabit the germination and growth of the wheat seeds due to Mn2+ releasing. In addition, FMBO could reduce the soil microbial diversity slightly and change the microbial community composition of the three contaminated soils. In conclusion, stabilization effectiveness and ecological impacts should be considered simultaneously before field trials to determine the optimal addition of the remediation materials.
