Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of soil remediation, and particularly relates to a soil remediation agent and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Farmland soil is facing the dual crisis of low-efficiency utilization of phosphorus and aggravation of cadmium pollution. Among them, phosphorus, as an essential element for crops, more than 95% exists in the form of insoluble calcium phosphate, resulting in a utilization rate of less than 30% of chemical phosphorus fertilizer; and cadmium pollution enters the food chain through crops, threatening food safety, both of which restrict the sustainable development of agriculture.
[0003] In traditional management, separate application of chemical phosphorus fertilizer and cadmium passivator not only has high cost, but also easily causes soil compaction and secondary pollution. Biological remediation has become a new direction due to its environmental protection and cost advantages. Some fungi can transform insoluble phosphorus by secreting organic acids, and reduce the availability of cadmium by cell wall adsorption and chelation, achieving the synergies of "dissolving phosphorus and reducing cadmium". Pure soil cultivation experiments can accurately simulate the field microenvironment, avoiding the disconnection problem between shake flask experiments and actual application. At the same time, as a natural carrier, bone charcoal is rich in insoluble phosphorus such as calcium phosphate for fungi to act on, and contains carbon and nitrogen nutrients to support its colonization. Therefore, a multifunctional and efficient microbial agent is developed to improve the transformation ability of insoluble phosphorus in bone charcoal in soil environment, improve the utilization rate of soil phosphorus, break the soil phosphorus-cadmium synergy barrier, and provide theoretical and experimental support for promoting the safe use of contaminated farmland. SUMMARY
[0004] To solve the above problems in the prior art, the application provides a soil remediation agent and application thereof.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the application provides the following technical scheme: The application provides a soil remediation agent, which comprises micro-nano bone charcoal and a solid Penicillium crustosum microbial agent.
[0006] As a preferred technical scheme of the application, the preparation method of the micro-nano bone charcoal comprises the following steps: grinding the pyrolyzed pig bone.
[0007] As a preferred technical scheme of the application, the pyrolysis is carried out under an inert atmosphere, the pyrolysis temperature is 400-500 DEG C, the time is 100-140 min, and the grinding is to a particle size of 30 nm-100 mu m.
[0008] As a preferred technical scheme of the application, the preparation method of the solid Penicillium crustosum microbial agent comprises the following sterile operation steps: coating Penicillium crustosum on NBRIP solid culture medium for culture, washing to obtain spore solution after spore maturation; mixing a solid carrier with sterile water, then adding a solid microbial agent protective agent, and then adding the spore solution to obtain the solid Penicillium crustosum microbial agent.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the culture temperature is 30℃ and the time is 3-4 days; the number of spores in the spore solution is ≥1×10⁻⁶. 8 cells / mL; As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the solid carrier includes bacterial bran, the ratio of solid carrier to sterile water is 1 g: (2.5-3.5) mL, the solid bacterial agent protectant includes sorbitol, and the amount of solid bacterial agent protectant added is 0.8-1.2 wt% of the total amount of solid carrier and sterile water; the amount of spore liquid added is 8-10 wt% of the total amount of solid carrier and sterile water.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, each liter of NBRIP solid culture medium contains: 10 g glucose, 5 g MgCl2·6H2O, 0.25 g MgSO4·7H2O, 0.01 g FeSO4·7H2O, 0.2 g KCl, 0.1 g (NH4)2SO4, 5.0 g Ca3(PO4)2, 10 g sorbitol protectant, 20 g agar, and pH 5.0.
[0011] The present invention also provides an application of the soil remediation agent described above in reducing cadmium content and increasing phosphorus content in soil.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the application amount of the soil remediation agent is as follows: the content of micro-nano bone char in the soil is 0.4-0.6 wt%, and the content of Penicillium chrysogenum solid inoculant in the soil is 2-4 wt%.
[0013] Existing remediation technologies often focus on a single mechanism, while the combined remediation technology of this invention utilizes micro / nano bone char, which, due to its abundant porous structure and large specific surface area, rapidly adsorbs cadmium ions from the soil. Meanwhile, *Penicillium fimbriatum* secretes organic acids and other substances, lowering the soil pH and transforming cadmium ions from a poorly soluble form into a more readily adsorbable one. The synergistic effect of these two technologies significantly improves the removal and fixation efficiency of cadmium. Furthermore, the metabolites produced by *Penicillium fimbriatum* during phosphorus dissolution can form stable complexes or precipitates with cadmium ions, further reducing the bioavailability of cadmium. This is more effective than using physical or chemical adsorption methods alone in reducing cadmium bioavailability.
[0014] Traditional chemical remediation methods use large amounts of chemical agents, which can easily leave residues and cause secondary pollution. In contrast, the combined remediation technology of this invention uses *Penicillium chrysogenum* and micro / nano bone char, both of which are naturally derived or biodegradable materials. These materials do not introduce harmful chemicals into the soil, making them more environmentally friendly to the soil and surrounding ecosystem. Furthermore, *Penicillium chrysogenum* can improve the soil microbial community structure, promoting the growth and reproduction of beneficial microorganisms, while micro / nano bone char provides a favorable habitat for soil microorganisms, jointly maintaining the soil ecological balance—something many traditional remediation technologies struggle to achieve.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) In the soil remediation agent provided by this invention, *Penicillium fimbriatum* can convert insoluble phosphorus in the soil into available phosphorus, increasing soil phosphorus nutrition. Micro-nano bone char can improve the cation exchange capacity of the soil and enhance the soil's water and fertilizer retention capacity. The combination of the two can comprehensively improve soil fertility and create good nutritional conditions for crop growth. This invention adopts a combined remediation technology of phosphate-solubilizing fungi and micro-nano bone char, which can effectively promote the dissolution of insoluble phosphate, increasing the available phosphorus content in the soil by 2.69 times (168.87%); and can also fix the soil heavy metal Cd, reducing the available Cd in the soil by about 25.91%, showing strong Cd fixation capacity. It has good application value for the remediation of Cd pollution in farmland and environmental protection.
[0016] (2) The soil remediation agent provided by the present invention can not only achieve efficient remediation of cadmium-contaminated soil, but is also green and environmentally friendly, and is suitable for large-scale promotion and application. Attached Figure Description
