Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of soil remediation agents, and specifically to a microbial remediation agent for heavy metal contaminated soil and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Heavy metal pollution is one of the main problems faced in the current environmental protection field. Especially under the background of the accelerating industrialization process, the heavy metal pollution in the soil is becoming increasingly serious. Heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury are not only harmful to plant growth but also affect human health through the food chain. Traditional treatment methods such as physical and chemical methods are often costly and may cause further damage to the soil ecosystem. Therefore, microbial remediation technology, as a new emerging green remediation method, has received extensive attention in recent years.

[0003] Microbial remediation refers to the use of the metabolic characteristics of microorganisms to promote the removal or stabilization of heavy metals, thereby achieving the remediation of contaminated soil. Certain microorganisms can convert heavy metals into less toxic forms or reduce their bioavailability through biological adsorption, biotransformation, and biological precipitation. However, microbial remediation technology is affected by environmental factors for the growth and colonization of microorganisms, and there will be competition with indigenous microorganisms. If they cannot adapt to the environment, they will be eliminated. Therefore, it is necessary to find a suitable carrier for microorganisms to improve the survival rate of microorganisms in contaminated soil and enhance the microbial remediation efficiency.

[0004] Based on this, we propose a microbial remediation agent for heavy metal contaminated soil and a preparation method thereof. Summary of the Invention

[0032] Further, the preparation methods of the Bacillus megaterium fermentation broth and the Bacillus cereus fermentation broth are as follows:

[0033] Bacillus megaterium and Bacillus cereus were respectively inoculated into solid medium and activated at 25 - 37°C for 16 - 26 h, then inoculated into seed medium and cultured on a shaker at 180 - 300 rmp at 25 - 37°C for 16 - 36 h, and then placed in liquid medium for liquid fermentation for 3 - 5 d to obtain Bacillus megaterium fermentation broth and Bacillus cereus fermentation broth.

[0040] An application of a microbial remediator for heavy metal - contaminated soil, comprising the following steps:

[0041] Sow ryegrass seeds into heavy metal - contaminated soil, maintain appropriate humidity and temperature. After 10 - 20 days when the plants germinate and grow, add the microbial remediator, and jointly remove heavy metals in the soil by the absorption of heavy metals by ryegrass and the strengthening effect of the microbial remediator.

[0042] Furthermore, the seeding rate of the ryegrass seeds is 2 - 4 g / m 2 .

[0043] Furthermore, the appropriate temperature is 15 - 35°C, and water is sprayed and irrigated every 10 - 24 h to keep the soil water content at 60 - 80% of the maximum water - holding capacity of the field.

[0044] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0045] 1. For a microbial remediation agent for heavy metal contaminated soil and its preparation method according to the present invention, humic acid is introduced into biochar. Its abundant functional groups such as carboxyl groups and phenolic hydroxyl groups form chemical bonding with the biochar surface. At the same time, through the complexation of humic acid and Fe 2+ nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) particles are evenly loaded on the biochar surface through complexation, reducing the agglomeration and oxidation of nZVI, effectively increasing the specific surface area of the biochar; the abundant functional groups of humic acid can also complex metal ions, thereby enhancing the adsorption of heavy metals by zero-valent iron modified biochar;

[0046] Then, by reacting concentrated ammonia water and epichlorohydrin, (S)-1-amino-3-chloropropan-2-ol is generated. Through the substitution reaction of -Cl and the hydroxyl groups on the matrix surface, the amino group is grafted onto the matrix surface to obtain an aminated matrix; by reacting the aldehyde group of glutaraldehyde with the amino group, the aminated matrix and lysine are grafted onto glutaraldehyde, ensuring that each amino group reacts with only one glutaraldehyde molecule during the crosslinking process, avoiding the problem of pore blockage caused by over-crosslinking; at the same time, the remaining aldehyde groups are reserved for subsequent lysine grafting. The introduced lysine (diamino compound) molecule is used as a flexible spacer arm, and through the reaction of its remaining amino group, NaOH and carbon disulfide (CS2), it is modified to graft the sulfur-containing group dithiocarboxyl (—C(=S)—S - ) onto the molecular chain of lysine, which can chelate with heavy metal ions such as Cu 2+ and Pb 2+ and significantly improve the selective adsorption of highly toxic heavy metals.

[0047] 2. For a microbial remediation agent for heavy metal contaminated soil and its preparation method according to the present invention, through the combination of an inorganic carrier and modified biochar, the survival rate and activity of microorganisms are improved, making the remediation effect in contaminated soil more significant. At the same time, it can effectively adsorb and remove heavy metal ions in the soil, thereby reducing the pollution level of the soil and improving the soil environment. Specific Embodiments

[0107]

[0108] According to the data in the above table, the following conclusions can be clearly obtained:

[0109] 1. Compared with Examples 1 - 3, the remediation effects of the products obtained in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 both decreased, indicating that the modified biochar prepared by the present invention has more surface oxygen - containing functional groups and specific surface area compared with biochar, significantly enhancing the microbial colonization ability and heavy - metal - ion adsorption sites; at the same time, in the present application, by introducing lysine as a bridge, a sulfur - containing group dithiocarboxyl is further introduced, which can form stable dithiocarboxylate chelates with heavy - metal ions, improving the chemical fixation efficiency of heavy metals such as cadmium and lead, thereby enhancing the remediation effect.

[0110] 2. Compared with Examples 1 - 3, the remediation effect of the product obtained in Comparative Example 3 decreased, which indicates that the present invention uses humic acid and ferrous sulfate heptahydrate to modify biochar, which can enhance the ability of biochar in aspects such as soil improvement and pollutant adsorption, thus playing a better role in the application of contaminated - soil remediation.

[0111] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above - mentioned exemplary embodiments, and without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention, the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non - restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description. Therefore, it is intended to embrace all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims in the present invention.
