Abstract:

The chromium Cr(Ⅲ) pollution of grey desert soil seriously affects the biological activity of the soil. To explore an effective method for the remediation of grey desert soil chromium pollution, a pot experiment was used to explore the effect of biochar application on soil chromium pollution and its bio-availability. The results showed that the application of biochar could significantly reduce the content of water-soluble chromium and the exchanged Cr of chromium-contaminated soil (P<0.05), simultaneously increased the content of reduced chromium (P<0.05). The biological activity coefficient decreased with the increase of temperature (P<0.05), and the decline amplitude was 26.70%, 41.15% and 59.45% respectively. Different biochar treatments significantly reduced the chromium content of corn grains, roots, stems and leaves (P<0.05), especially the chromium enrichment coefficient of corn plants (P<0.05), among which the biochar BC600 produced by high temperature could significantly slow down the growth inhibition caused by Cr pollution, and could significantly increase corn biomass (P<0.05), however the biomass had no significant difference compared with CK (P<0.05). Compared with the addition of chromium alone, the Cr content in maize tissue of BC600 treatment was less than 5 mg/kg, which conformed to the Cr safety standards for feed ingredients. The results could provide a theoretical basis for the soil restoration after chromium pollution in grey desert soil.
