基于MICP法的巴氏生孢八叠球菌固化镉污染土的试验研究

Experimental study on solidification of cadmium-contaminated soil by Sporosarcina pasteurii via MICP method

  • 摘要: 以重金属污染土的治理为背景,通过毒性浸出、无侧限抗压强度、土柱淋滤试验并结合镉形态分析等其他微观测试方法,探讨了Ca2+的添加、Cd2+浓度、养护时间等因素对驯化巴氏生孢八叠球菌固化镉污染土特性的影响. 结果表明:Ca2+对固化土中Cd2+浸出特性影响显著,不添加Ca2+时,当尿素浓度为0.5 mol·L‒1,固化土的Cd2+浸出质量浓度(0.42~5.64 mg·L‒1)最低;添加Ca2+后,Cd2+浸出浓度略有增大,胶结液中尿素和Ca2+浓度均为0.5 mol·L‒1时,Cd2+的固化效果较好. 延长养护时间,固化后土体的抗压强度增加,Cd2+浸出浓度降低且固化效果提高;增大Cd2+浓度,固化后土体的抗压强度降低,Cd2+浸出浓度提高;添加Ca2+有助于增强镉污染土的固化效果,在养护时间为28 d时,当Cd2+浓度为100 mg·kg‒1时,添加Ca2+的试样强度达到312 kPa,相较于未添加Ca2+试样强度(234 kPa)提升了33.3%;当Cd2+浓度增大至1600 mg·kg‒1时,添加Ca2+的试样强度达到269 kPa,相较于未添加Ca2+试样强度提升了57.3%,试样的浸出浓度降低了15.4%;经淋滤后,添加Ca2+的试样滤出液中Cd2+浓度始终低于未添加Ca2+试样. 固化后土中弱酸可提取态镉向可还原态镉和残渣态镉转变,添加Ca2+进一步降低弱酸可提取态镉所占比例,减小了Cd2+的迁移能力.

     

    Abstract: The immobilization of heavy metals using microbes presents an environmentally friendly approach, utilizing local indigenous microbes for remediating heavy metal-contaminated soils and improving soil environmental quality. Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP), particularly through urea hydrolysis, is a typical biomineralization process in nature that has gained considerable attention. Sporosarcina pasteurii, a popular indigenous urease-producing bacterium, is especially effective in hydrolyzing urea. This study examines the effects of calcium ion (Ca2+) addition, cadmium ion (Cd2+) concentration, and curing time on the characteristics of cadmium-contaminated soil solidified by acclimatized Sporosarcina pasteurii. Various tests, including toxicity leaching, unconfined compressive strength, soil column leaching, cadmium speciation analysis, and microanalysis, were conducted to evaluate these effects. The results indicate that Ca2+ significantly affects the leaching behavior of Cd2+ in the contaminated soil after solidification. Without Ca2+, the lowest Cd2+ leaching concentration (0.42–5.64 mg·L‒1) was observed at a urea concentration of 0.5 mol·L‒1. When Ca2+ was added, the Cd2+ leaching concentration slightly increased, but optimal solidification efficiency was achieved when urea and Ca2+ concentrations were 0.5 mol·L‒1. As curing time increased, the compressive strength of the solidified soil also improved, while Cd2+ leaching concentration decreased. The presence of Ca2+ further enhanced soil solidification over time. Higher Cd2+concentrations led to reduced compressive strength and increased leaching concentration. However, the addition of Ca2+ enhanced the solidification effect on cadmium-contaminated soil. At a curing time of 28 d, for a Cd2+ concentration of 100 mg·kg‒1, the unconfined compressive strength of samples with Ca2+ reached 312 kPa, a 33.3% increase compared to 234 kPa without Ca2+. For a Cd2+ concentration of 1600 mg·kg‒1, the unconfined compressive strength with Ca2+ reached 269 kPa, representing a 57.3% increase compared to samples without Ca2+, and the leaching concentration decreased by 15.4%. After leaching tests over 15 days using a geoenvironmental osmosis system revealed that the Cd2+ concentration in the leachate from samples with Ca2+ remained consistently lower than those without Ca2+. After solidification, weak acid-extracted cadmium in the contaminated soil transformed into reducible and residual forms. The addition of Ca2+ further reduced the proportion of weak acid-extractable cadmium, thereby reducing Cd2+ mobility. The calcium carbonate generated by the MICP reaction cements adjacent soil particles, thereby improving overall soil stability. Cadmium ions in the contaminated soil are immobilized by calcium carbonate through coprecipitation, forming stable compounds that reduce Cd2+ migration and bioavailability. This effectively alleviates soil heavy metal pollution. Overall, the results of this study will offer significant theoretical insight and technical innovations, holding profound implications for ecosystems, society, and the economy.
