Abstract:
      The effects of two types of treated sludge residue on soil improvement were evaluated in a potting experiment by adding pyrolysis residue and aerobic fermentation residue to the soil. The effects of parameters such as soil nutrients, enzyme activities, leaching content of heavy metals, and plants(Lolium perenne and Vetiveria zizanioides)on heavy metal accumulation and growth were analyzed. Additionally, the effects of soil improvement were evaluated using the fuzzy membership function. The results showed that application(5%)of the two types of treated sludge residue introduced humic acid-like substances into the soil. The soil conductivity(220% - 238%), ammonium nitrogen(16%-66%), cation exchange capacity(37%-84%), available phosphorus(34%-42%), available potassium(44%-97%), organic matter content(17%-47%), and enzymatic activity of fluorescein diacetate(67%-119%)were significantly increased. The fresh weight (32%-36%), height(18%-22%), chlorophyll(12%-16%), phosphorus(33%-48%), and potassium content(12%-21%)of plants were also significantly increased. The concentrations of Cu(17%-33%), Zn(5%-9%), Pb(32%), Cd(35%), and malondialdehyde(18%-22%) were significantly reduced. The leaching amount of Cu(10%-19%), Zn(18%-20%), Pb(10%-16%), and Cd(13%-15%)of soil were significantly reduced. The order of soil improvement effects of each treatment was as follows:aerobic fermentation residue > pyrolysis residue, V. zizanioides>L. perenne. Our results indicate that the two methods for treating sludge residue promote improvements in soil quality and plant growth. Aerobic fermentation residue and V. zizanioides show application potential for the ecological restoration of soil at e-waste dismantling sites.
