Description

Heavy metal contaminated soil remediation agent based on graphene oxide and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of soil remediation, in particular to a heavy metal contaminated soil remediation agent based on graphene oxide and application thereof.
Background
With the rapid development of industry, a large amount of heavy metal cadmium enters soil, so that the heavy metal cadmium in the soil exceeds the standard, the cadmium pollution phenomenon is more and more serious, cadmium is absorbed in the growth and development process of plants and is accumulated in a food chain, and the health of human beings is further influenced. Therefore, the treatment and restoration of the heavy metal cadmium polluted soil become an important environmental protection task at present. The current remediation technology for cadmium-contaminated soil mainly comprises three modes: firstly, a physical mode comprises soil dressing, deep ploughing and soil turning, leaching, soil washing, electric repairing and the like, the repairing effect is obvious, but the cost is high, and large-area popularization is difficult; secondly, a biological mode is adopted, wherein some animals, plants and soil microorganisms are generally used for absorbing cadmium contained in soil, and then the cadmium is recycled; and thirdly, a chemical mode is adopted, including a chemical preparation, a passivating agent, soil clay and organic matters addition, complexing extraction and the like, and the method has the advantages of simplicity in operation, better treatment effect, moderate cost and the like.
Heavy metal ions exist in various forms in soil, wherein the form of heavy metal having mobility has special significance for plant growth and is generally called an available state. When the concentration of the heavy metal in the effective state in the soil solution is too high, certain measures are necessary to reduce the absorption and accumulation of the heavy metal by plants. The in-situ fixation remediation technology is characterized in that a remediation agent is added into soil to adjust and change the physical and chemical properties of heavy metal in the soil, so that the heavy metal is subjected to a series of reactions such as precipitation, adsorption, ion exchange, humification, oxidation-reduction and the like, thereby converting the heavy metal into a form with relatively stable chemical properties, reducing the content of an effective state of the heavy metal in a soil environment, and further reducing the toxicity of the heavy metal elements to animals and plants. Currently, commonly used repair agents include inorganic passivators, organic passivators, and organic-inorganic composite passivators.
Because the existing passivator has the defects of low passivation stability, low passivation strength, difficult recovery and easy secondary pollution, when the external environment is changed, heavy metal ions are easy to release again, and the passivation (fixing) effect is greatly influenced.
The carbon nano material has a large specific surface area and a fine porous structure, so that the carbon nano material has strong adsorption capacity, simultaneously has huge negative charges on the surface of the carbon nano material, has high density of the charges, has groups similar to hydroxyl and the like, and can adsorb heavy metals. Therefore, the mobility and the biological effectiveness of the heavy metal are weakened, so that the aim of repairing the soil polluted by the heavy metal is fulfilled, and the method is widely applied to the field of heavy metal treatment of water and soil in recent years. Graphene is a typical carbon nanomaterial, Graphene Oxide (GO) is surface functionalized graphene with a 2D crystal form independent lamellar structure, contains multiple functional groups such as hydroxyl, epoxy, carbonyl, carboxyl and the like, has unique huge specific surface area and abundant functional groups, can perform physical and chemical reaction with pollutants, adsorbs passivated pollutants, and further has good removing capability on the pollutants.

(5) Measurement items and methods
(a) Determination of content in potting soil: the potted soil after harvesting the pakchoi is uniformly mixed, about 50g of the mixed soil is taken out, air-dried and crushed, sieved by a standard test sieve of 100 meshes (the square hole diameter is 0.15mm), and stored under certain conditions for soil analysis. Leaching by using a diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid solution, wherein the ratio of the sample soil to the solution is 1: 2, measuring by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The specific method comprises the following steps: in a 100ml conical flask, 10g of a soil sample is weighed using an analytical balance (accuracy in parts per million). Then 20ml of the extract (DTPA) was added and the stopper was closed. On a water bath constant temperature oscillator at the temperature of 20 +/-2 ℃ and at the temperature of 200 r.min -1 The oscillation frequency of (2) oscillates for 2 hours. Then slowly pouring the leaching solution into a centrifuge tube, placing the centrifuge tube on a centrifuge, and performing centrifugation at 4000 r.min -1 Was centrifuged at the speed of (1) for 10min, and the supernatant was filtered through a microfiltration membrane having a pore size of 0.45 μm and measured by ICP-MS over a period of 48 hours. And blank experiments are carried out, each experiment treatment is repeated for 3 times, and finally, the average value is taken, and the recovery rate is calculated. In order to ensure the quality of the experiment, loess (GBW07408), which is a national standard substance soil standard reference sample, is used for carrying out the experiment. The results are shown in FIG. 4.
As can be seen from the results in FIG. 4, the content of the soil of 0-20cm treated by 8 plants decreases slightly when the planting time is prolonged, and the soil is planted for 40 days; the content of the soil with the depth of 0-20cm in the treatments 3-8 all decreased greatly when the soil was planted for 80 days, wherein the treatment 3 (example 1), the treatment 7 (example 5) and the treatment 8 (example 6) decreased maximally, and decreased by 27.5%, 31% and 29% respectively compared with the soil when the soil was planted for 0 days. For treatment 2 (comparative example 2), the decrease in the content in the soil of 0 to 20cm was the smallest regardless of whether the growth was for 40 days or 80 days, and the content in the soil of 0 to 20cm at 80 days was 9.5% lower than that at 0 day of planting. Therefore, the addition of the heavy metal contaminated soil remediation agent prepared in the embodiments 1 to 6 of the invention to the test soil can effectively passivate the available cadmium in the soil.
(b) Determining the content of all cadmium (Cd) in the plantlets of the Chinese cabbages: HNO 3 -H 2 O 2 (V 1 :V 2 3: 1) microwave digestion, ICAnd (4) P-MS measurement. Adding 0.1g of plant sample weighed by using an analytical balance (with accuracy of ten-thousandth), 3ml of concentrated nitric acid (super grade pure, preferably MOS grade), and 2ml of H into a digestion tank 2 O 2 . Covering a cover tightly, shaking forcibly to mix the mixture evenly, then putting the mixture into a microwave digestion instrument for digestion, putting the mixture into an acid dispelling instrument at 160 ℃, adding a nitric acid solution with the mass fraction of 1% for rinsing for 3 times after all the acid is removed, pouring the rinsing solution into a 25ml volumetric flask for constant volume, filtering the solution through a microporous filter membrane with the aperture of 0.45 mu m, storing the solution in a 10ml centrifugal tube, and storing the solution to be tested at 4 ℃. And blank experiments are carried out, each experiment treatment is repeated for 3 times, and finally, the average value is taken, and the recovery rate is calculated. The results are shown in FIG. 5.
From the results in fig. 5, it can be seen that the total cadmium content of 8 treated pakchoi plants all increased slightly at 40 days of planting, and among the 8 treatments, the total cadmium content of the pakchoi plants treated 7 (example 5) and 8 (example 6) increased slightly, followed by treatment 3 (example 1); when the plantlets are planted for 80 days, the total cadmium content in the plantlets of the 8 treated plantlets is greatly increased, wherein the increase amplitude of the treatment 2 (comparative example 2) is the highest and is 187.19% higher than that of the plantlets of the 40 days, and the total cadmium content in the plantlets of the treatments 3, 7 and 8 is respectively 0.453mg/kg, 0.421mg/kg and 0.434mg/kg and is respectively 154.49%, 209.56% and 199.31% higher than that of the plantlets of the 40 days. Therefore, the accumulation of the total cadmium content in the plantlets of the pakchoi is mainly in the later growth stage.
From the above test results, it can be derived: when the heavy metal polluted soil restoration agent based on graphene oxide is applied to the soil for planting the pakchoi, the concentration of effective cadmium in the soil and the content of all cadmium in the pakchoi plants can be effectively reduced, so that the toxicity of cadmium in the soil can be reduced, and the absorption of the pakchoi plants to the effective cadmium can be reduced.
The above description is only for the preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art should be considered as the technical solutions and the inventive concepts of the present invention within the technical scope of the present invention.
