Abstract:
      In order to investigate the effect of biochar on the physicochemical property and cadmium(Cd) forms present in Cd-contaminated soil, three biochars derived from Sargassum fusiforme, rice straw, and pecan shell were prepared. Thereafter, the Cd adsorption abilities of these biochars were investigated. After applying different dosages of biochar on the Cd-contaminated soil, the changes in physicochemical property and chemical forms of Cd were studied. The results showed that the biochar derived from Sargassum fusiforme displayed the best Cd adsorption ability. Meanwhile, the pH, available phosphorus, rapidly available potassium, total nitrogen, and organic matter content increased along with the dosage of biochar. In addition, all dosages of biochar could decrease the content of exchangeable Cd and enhance the formation of carbonate-bound Cd, Fe-Mn oxide-bound Cd, organic-bound Cd, and residual form of Cd. In summary, biochar application decreased the bioavailability of Cd, and reduced the harmful forms of Cd.
