Abstract:

To provide a theoretical basis and technical support for the remediation of Cd contaminated farmland, the effects of Amaranthus hypochondriacus on the remediation of Cd contaminated farmland were evaluated. The effects of the planting modes of Amaranthus hypochondriacus, as well as the effects of the type, filling amount and filling time of chelating agents on the remediation of Cd contaminated farmland were investigated through field trials. The results showed that based on the analysis of Cd extraction efficiency, the labor cost of planting management, and potential environmental risks of Amaranthus hypochondriacus, the strip sowing mode was better than the direct seeding mode and transplanting mode, and NTA was better than EDDS and citric acid. 85 days after planting Amaranthus hypochondriacus, the remediation efficiency was the best under the application of 450 kg/hm2 NTA. The extraction efficiency of Cd in the aboveground part and underground part of Amaranthus hypochondriacus was 5.4% and 1.2%, respectively. The extraction efficiency of Cd was 6.6% under single-cropping, the relative improvement rate was 40.5%, and the total extraction efficiency was 13.2%. Therefore, the application of biodegradable chelating agent of NTA could effectively improve the remediation efficiency of Cd contaminated farmland by Amaranthus hypochondriacus, and the technology of Amaranthus hypochondriacus enhanced by NTA is a green, economical, efficient and environmental-friendly remediation method for Cd contaminated farmland, which has a broad application prospect.

Key words: biodegradable chelating agent, Amaranthus hypochondriacus, farmland remediation, cadmium, planting mode, extraction efficiency
