摘要：
Antimony (Sb) and arsenic (As) contamination in agricultural soil poses human health risks through agricultural products. Soil washing with degradable low molecular weight organic acids (LMWOAs) is an eco-friendly strategy to remediate agricultural soils. In this study, three eco-friendly LMWOAs, oxalic acid (OA), tartaric acid (TA), and citric acid (CA), were used to treat Sb and As co-contaminated agricultural soil from Xikuangshan mine area. The OA, TA, and CA washed out 18.4, 16.8, and 26.6% of Sb and 15.3, 19.9, and 23.8% of As from the agricultural soil, with CA being the most efficient reagent for the soil washing. These organic acids also led to pH decline and macronutrients losses. Fraction analysis using a sequential extraction procedure showed that the three organic acids targeted and decreased the specifically sorbed (F2) (by 19.3-37.6% and 2.41-23.5%), amorphous iron oxide associated (F3) (by 49.1-61.2% and 51.2-70.2%), and crystallized iron oxide associated (F4) (by 12.3-26.0% and 26.1-29.1%) Sb and As. The leachability of Sb and As, as well as their concentrations and bioconcentration factor (BCF) in vegetables reduced due to the soil washing. It demonstrated that the bioavailability of both the elements was decreased by the organic acids washing. The concentrations of Sb and As in typical vegetable species cultivated in CA washed soil were less than the threshold value for consumption safety, while those in OA and TA washed soils were still higher than the value, suggesting that only CA is a potential washing reagent in soil washing for Sb- and As-contaminated agricultural soil.

摘要：
Arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd) often coexist in paddy soils. Nano-ferrihydrite colloidal particles (NFPs) are ubiquitous at redox active interfaces of the paddy system and are well-known to play a critical role in controlling the solubility and bio-availability of As and Cd. However, the mutual interaction between As and Cd on NFPs remains elusive. Herein, batch experiments and in-situ spectroscopic techniques were used to investigate the effects of the interaction pattern (sequential reaction) of Cd(II) and As(V) on their respective adsorption on the surfaces of NFPs. Two scenarios were designed: Cd(II) pre-saturated NFPs and As(V) pre-saturated NFPs. Adsorption of Cd(II) was increased by 1.67, 4.08, and 5.21 times in As(V)-saturated NFPs, but only by 1.05, 1.11, and 1.15 times for As(V) in Cd(II)-saturated NFPs. Further, we determined the pH-dependent mutually beneficial cooperation pathways as mediated by the surface of NFPs. At lower pH (5), As(V) tended to promote Cd(II) adsorption, whereas Cd(II) tended to enhance As(V) adsorption at higher pH (> 5.5). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) indicated that both pre-saturated Cd(II) and As(V) altered the local coordination environment of their counterpart ions. Furthermore, results from in-situ attenuated total reflection-Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and second derivative peak shape fitting revealed two types of ternary surface complexes, namely Cd(II)-bridged and As(V)-bridged complexes, which were responsible for the distinct Cd(II) and As(V) co-adsorption behavior on the surface of NFPs under different conditions. These findings help us understand how co-presence Cd and As behave in an iron-rich geological setting and will aid in the development of related restoration technologies.
摘要：
Camellia oleifera shell-based activated carbon (COSAC) was prepared by H3PO4 activation method and further used to remove U(VI) from the aqueous solution in a batch system. This research examined the influence of various factors affecting U(VI) removal, including contact time, pH, initial U(VI) concentration, and temperature. The results showed that the U(VI) adsorption capacity and removal efficiency reached 71.28 mg/g and 89.1% at the initial U(VI) concentration of 160 mg/L, temperature of 298 K, pH 5.5, contact time of 60 min, and COSAC dosage of 2.0 g/L. The pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle diffusion equations were used to identify the optimum model that can describe the U(VI) adsorption kinetics. The pseudo-second-order kinetics model performed better in characterizing the adsorption system compared with the pseudo-first-order and intraparticle diffusion models. Isotherm data were also discussed with regard to the appropriacy of Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich models. The Langmuir model described the U(VI) adsorption process the best with a maximum adsorption capacity of 78.93 mg/g. Thermodynamic analysis (Delta G(0) < 0, Delta H-0 > 0, and Delta S-0 > 0) indicated that the U(VI) adsorption process is endothermic and spontaneous. All the results imply that COSAC has a promising application in the removal or recovery of U(VI) from aqueous solutions.

摘要：
Heavy metals including copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), and arsenic (As) were investigated in 89 pairs of rice plant and paddy soils around Dongting Lake area, China. Rice plants and soils were collected with GPS device, and heavy metal contents in different rice plant tissues and soils were measured. The aim of the present study was to assess the heavy metal pollution and translocation in the whole soil-rice system, including the consequent human health risk for residents. According to the indices of average geoaccumulation (Igeo) of the studied elements, paddy soils in study area were moderately polluted by Cd, lowly polluted by Pb, and not polluted by Cu, Zn, Cr, and As. Considering the much higher concentrations of studied elements in roots than in other tissues of rice plants, a great mass of these elements was assumed to be confined in the roots. The low translocation factors from root to shoot (Tfroot-shoot) of all the studied heavy metals (0.04-0.74) underpinned this. The high translocation factors from soil to root (Tfsoil-root) of Cd (9.12), As (4.38), and Zn (2.05) indicated the high bioavailability of these heavy metals for rice plant. The health risk assessment using target hazard quotients (THQs) model indicated that Cd (5.17 for adults and 4.49 for children respectively) and As (3.61 for adults and 3.14 for children respectively) could cause human health risk both for adults and children. Further, given the rate of individual THQ values exceeding one, Cu might also be considered as a potential human health dangerous element in the study area. It was worth noting that as one of the main pollutants, Pb did not show human health risk through rice grain consumption due to its low Tf values in soil-rice system. However, the risk identification of As using comparisons of measured concentrations with risk screening value in Chinese paddy soil standard (GB15618-2018) was not consistent with the human health risk assessment result. This might indicate that site-specific risk screening values of As in China is in demand.
