Description

[0002] With the rapid development of modern agriculture and intensive farming, the amount of livestock and poultry manure is increasing. Earthworm composting, as an efficient and environmentally friendly biological treatment technology, is widely used in the harmless and resourceful treatment of livestock and poultry manure. Through the digestion of earthworms and the synergistic effect of microorganisms, high-quality organic fertilizer, earthworm manure, can be produced. However, some compost raw materials contain city sludge, kitchen waste and other raw materials that may carry heavy metal elements such as lead and cadmium, which can easily lead to the presence of heavy metals in earthworm manure. In 2020, the Jiangsu Academy of Agricultural Sciences found that 15% of the commercially available earthworm manure samples exceeded the standard for heavy metals, with the highest detection value exceeding 3 times the national organic fertilizer standard. Long-term use of such fertilizers can lead to the accumulation of heavy metals in the soil and enter the food chain through crops. Therefore, developing a technology that can effectively fix and stabilize heavy metals in earthworm manure is a key prerequisite for its safe agricultural use.

[0096] The present embodiment also provides a treatment method using the biochar material for adsorbing heavy metals in earthworm manure, which comprises the following steps:

[0097] The vermicompost is mixed with the prepared biochar material for adsorbing heavy metals in vermicompost uniformly, and the amount of the biochar material is 3% of the dry weight of the vermicompost. Deionized water is added during the mixing process to obtain a mixture with a water content of 60%. The mixture is loaded into a container with a cover, sealed, and placed in an environment with a temperature of 25-35°C. The mixture is stirred every 5 days during the standing period, and the standing period is 21 days. After standing, the mixture is naturally air-dried to a water content of less than 30% to obtain stabilized vermicompost, and the treatment is completed.

[0098] Comparative Example

[0100] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is only that the S1 step of the preparation method of the biochar material for adsorbing heavy metals in vermicompost is as follows: the waste green tea residue is weighed, dried, and crushed. Then, under nitrogen protection, the waste green tea residue is placed in a pyrolysis furnace and heat-treated at 550°C for 62 min.

Then, the temperature is raised to 65°C, and the reaction is kept for 18 h. After natural cooling to room temperature, the mixture is filtered and washed with deionized water three times, and then dried to obtain the LDH@P-BC material.

[0103] Comparative Example 3

[0104] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is only that the S3 step of the preparation method of the biochar material for adsorbing heavy metals in vermicompost is as follows: the LDH@P-BC material is dispersed in deionized water, and under nitrogen protection and stirring, iron chloride hexahydrate solution with a concentration of 134 g / L is added according to a mass-volume ratio of LDH@P-BC material to iron chloride hexahydrate solution of 0.42 g / mL. The mixture is stirred at 39°C for 4 h, and then the solid product is separated, washed with anhydrous ethanol three times, and dried to obtain the biochar material for adsorbing heavy metals in vermicompost.

[0105] Performance detection test

[0106] For Examples 1-26 and Comparative Examples 1-3, the following performance detection tests are performed:

[0107] (1) Heavy metal fixation rate test: 10.00 g of raw vermicompost without any treatment and 10.00 g of stabilized vermicompost treated in each example and comparative example were weighed into a 50 mL centrifuge tube, 20.0 mL of DTPA extraction solution (0.005 mol / L DTPA + 0.01 mol / L CaCl2+ 0.1 mol / L TEA, pH = 7.3) was added, and extraction was performed at 25 ± 2°C with 180 r / min oscillation for 2 hours. Filtration was performed using ashless filter paper, and the filtrate was collected in a polyethylene bottle. The concentration of heavy metals Cd and As in the filtrate was determined using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) or atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS).

[0108] The effective state content of heavy metals was calculated according to ω = (ρ × V) / (m × 1000).

[0109] ω: effective state heavy metal content in the sample, mg / kg;

[0110] ρ: mass concentration of heavy metals in the determination solution, μg / L;

[0111] V: volume of extraction solution, mL;

[0112] m: sample mass, g.

[0113] The fixation rate of heavy metals was calculated according to fixation rate (%) = (effective state content of heavy metals in raw vermicompost - effective state content of heavy metals in examples or comparative examples) / effective state content of heavy metals in raw vermicompost × 100%.

[0114] (2) Heavy metal leaching toxicity test: 10.00 g of raw vermicompost without any treatment and 10.00 g of stabilized vermicompost treated in each example and comparative example were weighed into an extraction bottle, and the vermicompost was added to the extraction bottle with an extraction solution (acetic acid buffer solution with pH = 2.64) at a liquid-solid ratio of 20:1 (L / kg). The extraction bottle was fixed on a reverse oscillation device and oscillated at a speed of 30 ± 2 r / min for 18 ± 2 hours. Filtration was performed using a 0.45 μm or 0.6 μm glass fiber filter membrane under negative pressure, and the filtrate was collected. The total cadmium concentration and total arsenic concentration in the filtrate were determined using ICP-MS or AAS.

[0115] The maximum allowable emission concentration in the "Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard" (GB 8978-1996) is: total cadmium 0.1 mg / L, total arsenic 0.5 mg / L.

[0116] The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0117] Table 1

[0118]

[0119] It can be seen from the combination of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-3 and Table 1 that the Cd fixation rate and the As fixation rate of Comparative Examples 1-3 are less than 60%, the total cadmium concentration in the filtrate is greater than 0.1 mg / L, and the total arsenic concentration in the filtrate is greater than 0.5 mg / L. This shows that the raw material ratio and preparation method of Example 1 can help to improve the fixation and stabilization effect of the biochar material on heavy metals in the earthworm manure, and effectively fix and stabilize the heavy metals in the earthworm manure.

[0120] This may be because phosphoric acid etches biomass at high temperature, creating extremely developed pore structures, providing a large specific surface area and attachment sites for subsequent loading of LDH and nZVI, and also directly adsorbing and fixing heavy metal ions. The oxygen-containing and phosphorus-containing functional groups introduced by phosphoric acid activation can undergo strong surface complexation with heavy metal ions and generate extremely stable metal phosphate precipitates. In S2, the P-BC is immersed in a mixed solution of Mg 2+ and Al 3+ ions, which are adsorbed on the surface. After adding alkali, these ions precipitate in the form of LDH under mild hydrothermal conditions, growing in situ on the surface and in the pores of P-BC, and binding very firmly. LDH has a unique layered structure, with positively charged layers and exchangeable anions between the layers. When encountering anionic heavy metals such as AsO4 3- and CrO4 2- , ion exchange occurs, firmly fixing them between the layers. P-BC is good at fixing cationic heavy metals, while LDH is good at fixing anionic heavy metals. The combination of the two gives the material broad-spectrum adsorption capacity, covering almost all types of toxic heavy metals in earthworm manure. LDH grows in the pores of P-BC, avoiding stacking of its layers and exposing more active sites, improving adsorption efficiency. On the basis of adsorption and precipitation, reduction stabilization is introduced as a more thorough mechanism. In particular for Cr(VI) and As(III), which are difficult to completely solve by adsorption, the reduction of nZVI is crucial. Loading nZVI in the pores of LDH@P-BC can prevent the agglomeration of nZVI nanoparticles, improve their dispersibility and reactivity, and also serve as a protective layer for nZVI, reducing its oxidation failure and making it more durable. All captured heavy metals are ultimately converted into extremely stable forms in the natural environment through various pathways such as formation of phosphate precipitates, fixation between LDH layers, wrapping by iron oxides, or reduction to inert elements, greatly reducing their bioavailability and leaching risk.

[0121] It can be seen from the combination of embodiments 1-26 and table 1 that the Cd fixation rate and the As fixation rate of embodiments 1-26 are both greater than 70%, the total cadmium concentration in the filtrate is significantly less than 0.1 mg / L, and the total arsenic concentration in the filtrate is significantly less than 0.5 mg / L. This shows that using the raw material ratio and preparation method in the range of embodiments 1-26 can help to improve the fixation and stabilization effect of the biochar material on heavy metals in the earthworm manure.

[0122] It can be seen from the comparison of the detection data of embodiments 1-26 that using a NaOH solution with a molar concentration of 1.8-2.2 mol / L, a mass-volume ratio of the LDH@P-BC material to the NaBH4 aqueous solution of 0.15-0.22 g / mL, a mass-volume ratio of the LDH@P-BC material to the ferric chloride hexahydrate solution of 0.4-0.44 g / mL, and P-BC powder with a particle size of 60-160 mesh, can help to further improve the fixation and stabilization effect of the biochar material on heavy metals in the earthworm manure.
