Definitions
- the present invention relates to biocompatible, non-toxic modified clay sorbents and methods for their use.
- the sorbents are used for the sorption of contaminants such as hydrophobic or amphiphilic contaminants, particularly constituents of AFFFs, surfactants, perfluorinated and polyfluorinated compounds, as well as carbon containing contaminants, such as greenhouse gases.
- AFFF aqueous film forming foam
- PFOS perfluorooctanesulfonic
- PFOA perfluorooctanoic acid
- sorbents Naturally occurring materials have found many applications as sorbents.
- Various types of organoclay and surface-tailored organoclays have been synthesised that are effective to immobilise PFAS in soil and prevent PFAS leaching to groundwater.
- the addition of the sorbent material to the contaminated soil results in a stabilisation or immobilisation of the pollutants making them unavailable to leach to the surroundings and to be taken up by organisms.
- MatCARETM is commercially available clay based sorbent based on palygorskite-based material modified with oleylamine which is use for PFOS adsorption.
- known organoclay and surface-tailored organoclays are associated with soil microbe disruption and even toxicity, particularly at the concentrations of these materials required for effectiveness of PFAS adsorption in soil.
- sorbents which minimally toxic to, or preferably not toxic to, and indeed in some cases, are supportive of native soil microorganisms, particularly native soil microbial communities is desirable, as soil amendment with existing sorbents can negatively impact microbial community function, biodegradation potential and ecosystem health and prolonging soil recovery time after treatment.
- sorbents which are suitable for the sorption of hydrophobic and/or amphiphilic organic contaminants such as constituents of AFFFs, surfactants, perfluorinated and polyfluorinated compounds, particularly which have less impact on native soil microbes or more preferably are supportive of growth of native soil microbes and/or substantial preservation of microbe diversity and abundance in treated soil compared to native soil.

- CN111592170 describes a two-step process for forming the Fe 2 0 4 nanoparticles in a first step involving a reducing agent such as ammonia to form the nanoparticles which are then dried and washed with deionised water. The nanoparticles are then dispersed in water and coated with a coating agent which is required to aid dispersion of the nanoparticles so as to form the colloidal solution. Nanoparticle aggregation is to be prevented to avoid loss of the essential magnetic properties.
- CN111592170 teaches it is essential to first wash the formed the nanoparticles prior to adding the coating agent, as otherwise surfactants, other ions and impurities are retained in the nanomagnetic colloidal solution when formed.
- the coating agent wraps the nanoparticles and forms a protective film that prevents agglomeration of the nanoparticles in the colloidal solution
- a coating agent concentration of 60 -150g/L is optimal.

- This mixing condition was the simulation of conventional techniques of "amending materials spreading and ploughing" where the soil moisture was maintained up to only 15%.

- Most decomposition of crop residues and organic matter in soils is done by microbial communities including bacteria.
- Bacterial diversities in soil can be identified by phenotypic classification whereby the phyla present in soil can be identified using next generation sequencing/metagenomic studies and involve use of a 16S rRNA gene-based metagenomics approach to produce high-resolution characterization of bacterial abundance and diversity.
- phyla in the soils tested herein include one or more selected from the group of Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Acidobacteria, Chloroflexi, Firmicutes, and Gemmatimonadetes.
- the FeNP@AB and FeNP@ABP and FeNP@UReaFINT materials described herein immobile more PFAS than MatCARETM while more closely preserving the original soil microbial diversity and abundance, and in the case of FeNP@ABP and FeNP@UReaHNT enhance the total microbial population compared to the non-amended soil sample.
- the materials of the invention are particularly suited to use in remediation whereby the sample to be decontaminated and substantial preservation of the original soil microbial diversity and abundance is to be preserved.
- the materials of the invention are particularly suited to use in remediation whereby the sample to be decontaminated is in situ in the environment and substantial preservation of the original soil microbial diversity and abundance is to be preserved.
- Embodiments involving urea as particularly useful for removal of contaminant in control soil pile system where soil washing of PFAS in necessary. This is because after treatment the soil microbiota break/utilise urea and most likely the following mechanism occurs: urea-modified composite binds PFAS from soil matrix (fast reaction) ⁇ over time ( ⁇ l-2 weeks), the soil microbiota break/utilise urea which significantly increase leachability, resulting a potential use in control soil pile system where soil washing of PFAS in necessary. Further there is no toxicity of these urea modified composite, rather they boost microbial growth.
