Abstract:
      A new intermediate and zeolite were made from fly ash under low-temperature and alkali conditions. FA、IP and ZE three materials were characterized by canning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectromet(SEM-EDS), X-ray fluorescence(XRF), BrunauerEmmett-Teller(BET), zero point of charge(pHzpc), etc. analyses. The effects of FA, IP and ZE three immobilizing agents on soil pH, available Cd in soil, mustard biomass, and heavy metal concentration of mustard were investigated using pot experiments. The possible immobilization mechanism of Cd was elucidated. The results showed that application of the three immobilizing agents resulted in reduction of the content of bioavailable Cd in soils and a decrease in the amount of Cd in mustard. Moreover, the available Cd decreased by 48.35% and 46.19%, respectively, after 1.5% IP and ZE passivators were added in the soils, and the content of Cd in the upper part of India mustard reduced by 37.51% and 41.06%, respectively. The soils pH increased about 0.59 and 0.62 units, respectively, after 1.5% IP and ZE passivators were added in the soils, and the biomass of mustard increased 20%. Thus, the IP and ZE passivating agents effectively reduced the available Cd and promoted growth of the crops. In economic terms, the IP had certain economic value for the long-term utilization of fly ash.
