Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of soil pollution remediation, and more specifically, to a method for preparing and applying a composite soil conditioner that can enhance carbon sequestration. Background Technology
[0002] Climate change poses a severe threat and challenge to human survival and development. Soil carbon pools are the largest on land. Synergistic effects of soil environmental pollution control and soil carbon sequestration are more cost-effective than industrial carbon sequestration, and are a key strategy for addressing climate change worldwide, attracting widespread attention both domestically and internationally. Therefore, in the new era of "dual carbon" goals, the combined use of various solid waste resources with different carbon sequestration and soil conditioning characteristics to develop low-cost, high-efficiency, green, and low-carbon soil conditioners, synergistically enhancing soil environmental pollution control and soil solid waste management, is a crucial requirement for soil environmental governance technology. Microalgae are widely distributed in the natural environment, with diverse species, large quantities, and rapid growth. They can sequester carbon through photosynthesis and also play a role in controlling the absorption and accumulation of heavy metals in crops due to their ability to absorb and accumulate heavy metals. Aquaculture wastewater contains abundant algae and bacteria such as *Microcystis aeruginosa*, *Nostoc commune*, *Chlorella minutissima*, *Scenedesmus obliquus*, and *Chlamydomonsa reinhardtii*, as well as nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients, making it valuable for recycling. Waste wood mainly originates from construction sites, home renovations, discarded furniture, and timber processing plants, and its quantity is increasing year by year with economic development and rising living standards. Biochar, with its porosity and large surface area, decomposes slowly in soil, serving as both a carbon sequestration method and a high-quality soil conditioner. Heat-treating waste wood to produce biochar is beneficial for soil conditioning and carbon sequestration. Oyster shells amount to millions of tons in coastal areas of my country, typically piled up directly in streets and alleys or dumped into the sea, polluting the environment. Oyster shell powder, rich in calcium carbonate, can quickly condition acidic soils, solidify heavy metals in the soil, and provide calcium nutrition for crops. However, excessive application can lead to soil compaction.
[0003] In recent years, the technology of developing soil conditioners using microalgae, biochar, and oyster shell powder has developed rapidly. For example, patent number ZL202111085925.7, entitled "A microalgae ecological restoration agent for carbon fixation and control of arsenic pollution in paddy soil and its preparation method," describes the application of freeze-dried microalgae cultured in a phosphorus-free modified culture medium to paddy soil to control arsenic pollution and play a role in carbon fixation. However, its target is only arsenic, the number of metal elements described is limited, and it requires special environmental conditions for cultivation and transportation, resulting in high efficiency and cost. Patent application number 202310981314.3, entitled "A Soil Fertilizer Conditioner and Its Preparation Method", is prepared by leveraging the synergistic effects of various materials such as alkaline residue, calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer, oyster shell, sepiolite, activator, rice husk, microbial agent, poultry and livestock manure, trace elements, paraffin oil, limonene, and urea. It can improve the pH and fertility of acidic soils and improve the yield and quality of crops. However, the technology involves a large number of materials, has little utilization of solid waste resources, and does not consider carbon sequestration effects. Patent application number 202410154192.5, entitled "A Soil Conditioner Based on Organic Acid-Activated Oyster Shells and Its Preparation Method," uses a combination of materials, including phosphate tailings powder and oxalic acid, roasted oyster shell powder and potassium alginate, and unroasted oyster shell powder, to form an inner, middle, and outer layer structure. While this effectively improves acidic soil, passivates various heavy metals, and provides potassium and phosphorus fertilizers to the soil with slow release, it does not consider the effects of varying soil acidification rates or carbon sequestration. Patent application number 202211693095.0, entitled "A Composite Soil Conditioner and Its Preparation Method," uses a compound of sulfur-containing amino acid-modified biochar and organic acid-metal complex-modified oyster shell powder. While this can passivate heavy metals in the soil for a relatively long time, the required processing steps are relatively complex and costly. It does not consider the long-term performance of different materials in the layered construction of the material and its carbon sequestration effect. Therefore, there is a need to develop more effective, simple, low-cost, and carbon-sequestrable soil conditioner preparation methods. Currently, microalgae, biochar, and oyster shell powder have different characteristics in carbon sequestration and soil pollution remediation. However, there are no reports on technologies that can combine them to develop new green and low-carbon soil conditioners that can both sequester carbon and control heavy metal pollution while improving crop quality. Summary of the Invention

[0111] The soil to be treated was selected from a carrot-growing field on the coast of Fujian Province. The main heavy metal pollutants in the soil were lead and cadmium. The compound soil conditioner from Case 6 was chosen. The experimental group was divided into a control group (no soil conditioner applied) and experimental group 1 (Case 6). Each group had an experimental area of 0.5 mu (approximately 0.067 hectares) and a planting density of 12,000 plants / mu (approximately 13,000 plants / mu). Before applying the soil conditioner, samples were collected from the experimental group. Samples were taken from 8-10 points in each group using the diagonal method, mixed thoroughly, and then the control group soil sample was obtained using the quartering method. After soil sampling, 80 kg of soil conditioner was evenly applied to the experimental area during tilling, according to the experimental design. Four months after routine field management, soil samples and edible parts of green peppers were collected again using the same method. The results are shown in the attached figure. Figure 4 As shown in Appendix Table 2, the results indicate that the application of the compound soil conditioner of the present invention can improve acidified soil, increase soil organic matter, inhibit the absorption and accumulation of heavy metals in soil pollution by crops, and improve the nutritional quality of crops.
