Abstract:
      A pot experiment was set up to test the remediation effects in a Cu contaminated soil by applying of lime(SH1, SH2 and SH3, dosages of 0.1%, 0.2% and 0.4%, respectively) and ryegrass(Secale cereale), according to the determination of growth and Cu accumulation of ryegrass, transformation of Cu speciation in soil, and soil microbial community. The results showed that lime significantly increased biomass and Cu accumulation of ryegrass and soil pH, but decreased Cu concentration of aboveground and root of ryegrass. Compared to control, SH1, SH2 and SH3 decreased exchangeable Cu by 58.47%, 87.51% and 74.54%, while increased carbonate bound Cu to 1.36, 1.93 and 1.56 times than control, respectively. The Biolog analysis at 72 h showed that lime had the ability to increase AWCD(average well color development), S(substrate richness), Shannon's, Simpson, and McIntosh diversity index in the descending order of SH2, SH3, SH1 and CK. Lime changed the carbon source utilization patterns of soil microbial communities obviously. SH2 had the highest level of the carbon source utilization. In conclusion, combining lime of dosage of 0.2% with ryegrass could remediate the Cu contaminated soil.
