Stabilization/Solidification of Heavy Metals and PHe Contaminated Soil with β-Cyclodextrin Modified Biochar (β-CD-BC)...

Conventional stabilization/solidification materials have defects in the simultaneous treatment of heavy metals (HMs) and phenanthrene (PHe). In order to solve this problem, a new functional material β-cyclodextrin modified biochar (β-CD-BC) was prepared by integrating the properties of biochar (BC) and the hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties of the β-CD surface and combined with Portland cement (PC) to cure and stabilize HMs and PHe. The effect of key parameters on the treatment effect was discussed by response surface method. The results showed that the minimum leaching concentration if HMs was 16.81 mg·L^-1, and the leaching concentration of PHe can be as low as 0.059 μg/kg under the conditions of β-CD-BC and Portland cement ratio of 9.75% and 11.4%, curing for 22.85 d. The weak acid soluble state reduced from 9~13% to 0.5~6%, the residual state was increased from 37~61% to 77~87%. The unconfined compressive strength of sample is more than 50 kPa. The results of this study can provide a new technical scheme for long-term curing and stabilization of HMs and PHe.
