RESUMO

Bone waste could be utilized as a potential amendment for remediation of smelter-contaminated soils. Nevertheless, the influences of cow bone-derived biochar (CB) on soil microbial biomass and microbial community composition in multi-metal contaminated mining soils are still not clearly documented. Hence, the cow bone was used as feedstock material for biochar preparation and pyrolyzed at two temperatures such as 500 °C (CB500) and 800 °C (CB800), and added to a smelter soil at the dosage of 0 (unamended control), 2.5, 5, and 10% (w/w); then, the soil treatments were cultivated by maize. The CB effect on soil biochemical attributes and response of soil microbial biomass, bacterial communities, and diversity indices were examined after harvesting maize. Addition of CB enhanced total nutrient contents (i.e., total nitrogen up to 26% and total phosphorus P up to 27%) and the nutrients availability (i.e., NH4 up to 50%; NO3 up to 31%; Olsen P up to 48%; extractable K up to 18%; dissolved organic carbon up to 74%) in the treated soil, as compared to the control. The CB500 application revealed higher microbial biomass C (up to 66%), P (up to 41%), and bacterial gene abundance (up to 76%) than the control. However, comparatively a lower microbial biomass nitrogen and diversity indices were observed in the biochar (both with CB500 and CB800) treated soils than in the unamended soils. At the phylum level, the highest dose (10% of CB500 and CB800 resulted in contrasting effects on the Proteobacteria diversity. The CB50010 favored the Pseudomonas abundance (up to 793%), Saccharibacteria (583%), Parcubacteria (138%), Actinobacteria (65%), and Firmicutes (48%) microbial communities, while CB80010 favored the Saccharibacteria (386%), Proteobacteria (12%) and Acidobacteria (11%), as compared to the control. These results imply that CB500 and CB800 have a remarkable impact on microbial biomass and bacterial diversity in smelter contaminated soils. Particularly, CB500 was found to be suitable for enhancing microbial biomass, bacterial growth of specific phylum, and diversity, which can be useful for bioremediation of mining soils.

RESUMO

Soil microbes influence the uptake of toxic metals (TMs) by changing soil characteristics, bioavailability and translocation of TMs, and soil health indicators in polluted environment. The potential effect of Streptomyces pactum (Act12) and Bacillus consortium (B. subtilis and B. licheniformis; 1:1) on soil enzymes and bacterial abundance, bioavailability and translocation of Zn and Cd by Symphytum officinale, and physiological indicators in soil acquired from Fengxian (FX) mining site. Act12 and Bacillus consortium were applied at 0 (CK), 0.50 (T1), 1.50 (T2), and 2.50 (T3) g kg-1 in a split plot design and three times harvested (H). Results showed that soil pH significantly dropped, whereas, electrical conductivity increased at higher Act12 and Bacillus doses. The extractable Zn lowered and Cd increased at each harvest compared to their controls. Soil ß-glucosidase, alkaline phosphatase, urease and sucrase improved, whereas, dehydrogenase reduced in harvest 2 and 3 (H2 and H3) as compared to harvest 1 (H1) after Act12 and Bacillus treatments. The main soil phyla individually contributed ∼5-55.6%. Soil bacterial communities' distribution was also altered by Act12 and Bacillus amendments. Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, and Bacteroidetes increased, whereas, the Actinobacteria, Chloroflexi, and Gemmatimonadetes decreased during the one-year trial. The Zn and Cd concentration significantly decreased in shoots at each harvest, whereas, the roots concentration was far higher than the shoots, implicating the rhizoremediation by S. officinale. Accumulation factor (AF) and bioconcentration ratio (BCR) of Zn and Cd in shoots were lower and remained higher in case of roots than the standard level (≥1). BCR values of roots indicated that S. officinale can be used for rhizoremediation of TMs in smelter/mines-polluted soils. Thus, field trials in smelter/mines contaminated soils and the potential role of saponin and tannin exudation in metal translocation by plant will broaden our understanding about the mechanism of rhizoremediation of TMs by S. officinale.

RESUMO

Reusing by-products such as cow bones in agriculture can be achieved thorough pyrolysis. The potential of bone-derived biochar as a promising material for metals immobilization in contaminated mining soils has not yet been sufficiently explored. Therefore, cow bones were used as biochar feedstock were pyrolyzed at 500 °C (CBL) and 800 °C (CBH) and. The two biochars were applied to a mine contaminated soil at 0 (control), 2.5, 5 and 10%, w/w, dosages; then, the soils were incubated and cultivated by maize in the greenhouse. Cadmium (Cd) and zinc (Zn) bioavailability and their sequentially extracted fractions (acid soluble, reducible, oxidizable, and residual fraction), soil microbial function, and plant health attributes were analyzed after maize harvesting. Bone-derived biochar enhanced the content of dissolved organic carbon (up to 74%), total nitrogen (up to 26%), and total phosphorus (up to 27%) in the soil and improved the plant growth up to 55%, as compared to the control. The addition of CBL altered the acid soluble fraction of both metals to the residual fraction and, thus, reduced the content of Zn (55 and 40%) and Cd (57 and 67%) in the maize roots and shoots, respectively as compared to the control. The CBL enhanced the ß-glucosidase (51%) and alkaline phosphatase activities (71%) at the lower doses (2.5-5%) as compared to control, while the activities of these enzymes decreased with the higher application doses. Also, CBL improved the antioxidants activity and maize growth at the 2.5-5% application rate. However, the activity of the dehydrogenase significantly decreased (77%), particularly with CBH. We conclude that CBL, applied at 2.5-5% dose, can be utilized as a potential low cost and environmental friendly amendment for stabilization of toxic metals in contaminated mining soils and producing food/feed/biofuel crops with lower metal content.

RESUMO

A greenhouse pot trial was conducted to investigate the effect of organic amendments combined with triple superphosphate on the bioavailability of heavy metals (HMs), Amorpha fruticosa growth and metal uptake from Pb-Zn mine tailings. Cattle manure compost (CMC), spent mushroom compost (SMC) and agricultural field soil (AFS) were applied to tailings at 5%, 10%, 20% and 30% w/w ratio, whereas sewage sludge (SS) and wood biochar (WB) were mixed at 2.5%, 5%, 10% and 20% w/w ratio. Triple superphosphate (TSP) was added to all the treatments at 4:1 (molar ratio). Amendments efficiently decreased DTPA-extracted Pb, Zn, Cd and Cu in treatments. Chlorophyll contents and shoot and root dry biomass significantly (p< 0.05) increased in the treatments of CMC (except T4 for chlorophyll b) and SMC, whereas treatments of SS (except T1 for chlorophyll a and b), WB and AFS (except T4 for chlorophyll a and b) did not show positive effects as compared to CK1. Bioconcentration factor (BCF) and translocation factor (TF) values in plant tissues were below 1 for most treatments. In amended treatments, soluble protein content increased, phenylalanine ammonialyase (PAL) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) decreased, and catalase (CAT) activity showed varied results as compared to CK1 and CK2. Results suggested that A. fruticosa can be a potential metal phytostabilizer and use of CMC or SMC in combination with TSP are more effective than other combinations for the in situ stabilization of Pb-Zn mine tailings.

RESUMO

Biochar is a stable carbonaceous by-product of pyrolysis and can be used for toxic metals (TMs) retention in polluted soil. Wheat (Triticum aestivum) was grown in three polluted soils collected from Chenzhou (CZ), Tongguan (TG) and Fengxian (FX), China. Wood biochar (WBC) was applied at 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0% to each pot filled with 2 kg polluted soil. The results showed that WBC was efficient to alter soil pH and electrical conductivity (EC). The changes in soil pH and EC had a direct relationship with the immobilization and phytostabilization of TMs in the three soils. The bioavailable TMs (Zn, Pb, Cd, and Cu) were reduced in the soil after WBC amendments due to ion exchange, precipitates of metal-carbonates and metal-phosphates, and chemisorption on WBC surface. The reduction in the bioavailable TMs content also resulted in the diminution in TMs shoot uptake in wheat. Similarly, the TMs uptake in wheat root were also reduced as a result of WBC application. The reduction in bioavailable TMs and the release of essential nutrients and base cations from the WBC also increased the wheat shoot and root dry biomasses production. The application of WBC in polluted soil also improved soil health and the urease and ß-glucosidase enzymes were also enhanced. The results concluded that WBC was efficient to reduce the bioavailability of TMs and shoot and root uptake, improved wheat dry biomasses production and soil enzymatic activities in industrial and smelter/mines polluted soils.
