Abstract:
      In order to investigate the stabilization effect of palygorskite at different pyrolysis temperatures on cadmium(Cd) in soil, palygorskite particles were pyrolyzed at 250, 300, 350, 400℃, and 450℃ for 2.5 h. The stabilization effect of Cd contaminated soil was evaluated by a stabilization experiment and pot experiment. The results showed that the pH, electrical conductivity, and cation exchange capacity of the soil were increased by adding palygorskite at different temperatures, and the concentration of extractable Cd in DTPA and TCLP decreased significantly, When the heat-modified palygorskite at 350℃ was added to stabilize the soil, the concentration of Cd in the two extraction states decreased the most, by 39.7% and 32.6%, respectively. The addition of 350℃ heat-modified palygorskite could promote the transformation of Cd from an acid soluble state with high activity to a residual state with low activity, thus effectively reducing the mobility of Cd. Palygorskite enhanced the growth of corn plants. Compared with the control, the root length, plant height, fresh weight, and dry weight of corn plants significantly increased, and the accumulation of Cd from soil to aboveground parts and the transportation of Cd from underground to aboveground parts were significantly reduced. Therefore, heat-modified palygorskite can be used as an environmental protection material for the stabilization and remediation of heavy metal contaminated soil.
