Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of soil remediation technology, and specifically to a method for remediating heavy metal-contaminated soil using microbial agents. Background Technology

[0002] Heavy metal contamination of soil is mainly caused by factors such as industrial wastewater discharge, mining activities, and the long-term use of agricultural fertilizers and pesticides, and is one of the most significant environmental problems facing the world today. Heavy metals in soil, such as lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic, are highly toxic, persistent, and bioaccumulative, not only disrupting the soil's ecological balance but also potentially harming human health through the food chain, causing various diseases. With the acceleration of industrialization and the continuous expansion of pollution, the remediation of heavy metal-contaminated soil has become an urgent task in the field of environmental governance.

[0003] Remediation technologies for heavy metal contaminated soil mainly include physical remediation, chemical remediation, and bioremediation. Physical remediation methods, such as topsoil replacement and electroremediation, are costly and prone to secondary pollution. Chemical remediation, through stabilization or leaching techniques, is fast-acting but may damage soil structure and introduce new chemical risks. Microbial technologies have gradually gained attention due to their advantages of being ecological, low-cost, simple, efficient, and widely applicable. However, existing microbial remediation technologies for heavy metals also have some problems, such as poor stability of microorganisms and limited remediation capacity for heavy metals.

[0004] Chinese patent document CN201710556915.4 discloses a soil heavy metal remediation biological amendment and its preparation method. It is prepared by compounding microbial agents, biochar, organosilicon, nitrogen raw materials, fast-acting calcium, phosphate rock powder and amino acids in a specific ratio. It can effectively remediate soil heavy metal pollution, improve soil physicochemical properties, improve soil microbial environment, balance soil nutrients, improve soil fertility, promote crop growth, and thus improve grain yield and quality. However, the prepared biological amendment has limited effect on the remediation of heavy metal pollution and still needs further improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] (1) The terrestrial trichomoniasis and Bacillus licheniformis provided by the present invention exert synergistic effects through different metabolic pathways and physiological characteristics, and jointly reduce the toxicity of heavy metals. The combined use of terrestrial trichomoniasis and Bacillus licheniformis not only improves the remediation efficiency, but also enhances the stability of the system, enabling it to adapt to complex soil environments.

[0027] (2) The *Trichoderma terrestris* provided by this invention mainly transforms highly toxic heavy metal ions into low-toxicity or insoluble forms through enzymatic reduction, thereby reducing the mobility and bioavailability of heavy metals. Simultaneously, *Trichoderma terrestris* can also complex heavy metals by secreting organic acids, reducing their free concentration and further alleviating the toxic effects of heavy metals on the microbial community. The remediation mechanism of *Bacillus licheniformis* mainly manifests in the secretion of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and adsorption on the cell surface. The synergistic effect of *Trichoderma terrestris* and *Bacillus licheniformis* is mainly reflected in: *Trichoderma terrestris* reduces the oxidized state of heavy metals through reduction, making them more easily captured by the EPS of *Bacillus licheniformis*, forming insoluble precipitates; simultaneously, *Bacillus licheniformis* improves the soil microenvironment through the secretion of EPS, providing a protective barrier for *Trichoderma terrestris* and reducing the inhibition of its growth by heavy metals; furthermore, the common metabolic activities of the two bacteria may promote the decomposition of organic matter in the soil, releasing nutrients (such as nitrogen and phosphorus), thereby maintaining the activity of the microbial community and enhancing the sustainability of the remediation system.

[0028] (3) In this invention, hydroxyapatite is used as a carrier to load licorice extract onto the surface of hydroxyapatite by utilizing its adsorption properties. At the same time, in order to further improve the stability of licorice extract, carboxymethyl cellulose solution is added. After stirring, mixing and drying, the good film-forming properties of carboxymethyl cellulose help to improve the stability of licorice extract, while also increasing the specific surface area and adsorption sites of hydroxyapatite. The introduction of licorice extract and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) not only enhances the chelating ability of hydroxyapatite for heavy metals, but also provides an additional carbon source for microorganisms, promoting their growth and reproduction. The metabolic activity of Trichoderma solani and Bacillus licheniformis is significantly improved, and the repair efficiency is greatly improved. Detailed Implementation
