This invention discloses a method for preparing a
red mud-like soil matrix synergistically modified by agricultural and
forestry solid waste and microorganisms. This method not only introduces agricultural and
forestry solid waste with different carbon-to-
nitrogen ratios—
high carbon-to-
nitrogen ratio
solid waste providing a recalcitrant
carbon source to maintain long-term
metabolism, medium carbon-to-
nitrogen ratio solid waste serving as a readily degradable
carbon source to accelerate initial
fermentation, and low carbon-to-nitrogen ratio solid waste supplementing nitrogen to avoid carbon-to-nitrogen imbalance—but also ensures sufficient
carbon source for microorganisms to continuously produce acid and reduce alkali while avoiding excessive nitrogen loss, thus promoting efficient mineralization and humification of
organic matter. Furthermore, by introducing
biochar-loaded modified microorganisms, the method utilizes the organic acids secreted by microorganisms to deeply reduce alkali, and also utilizes the
extracellular polymers secreted by the microorganisms to combine with
red mud metal ions to form organic-mineral composite colloids, enhancing the stability of
red mud aggregates. This invention features a simple process, low cost, and is suitable for widespread application in fields such as ecological restoration of red mud dumps,
mine reclamation, and
saline-alkali
land improvement.
