ABSTRACT: Livestock manures (Man) commonly contains a certain quantity of

17

heavy metal ions such as arsenic (As) and copper (Cu) ions, resulting in a high risk on

18

soil contamination. To solve this problem, heavy metal of manure was immobilized

19

into Sodium carbonate/Biosilica/Attapulgite composite (Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp) which

20

was developed using a nanocomposite consisting of anhydrous sodium carbonate

21

(Na2CO3), straw ash-based biochar and biosilica (BioSi), and attapulgite (Attp). When

22

Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp was mixed with Man/AsCu, the obtained nanocomposite

23

(Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp/Man/AsCu) with a porous nano-networks structure could

24

effectively control the release of As and Cu ions from manure through adsorption and

25

chemical

26

Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp/Man/AsCu could increase the pH value of acid soil, promote the

27

growth of rices, and significantly decrease the uptake of As and Cu ions by rices.

28

Therefore, this work provides a promising approach to immobilize heavy metal ions

29

in manure and thus lower the contamination risk to environment. Na2CO3, BioSi, and

30

Attp powders were mixed evenly with weight ratio of WNa2CO3:WBioSi:WAttp =3:1:2.

INTRODUCTION

34

To increase feed intake and promote the growth of livestock, heavy metal ions such as

35

arsenic (As) and copper (Cu) ions and so on have been widely used as additives for

36

feed.1-5 However, a small portion of the intake heavy metal ions are absorbed by

37

livestock and most of the heavy metal ions are excreted in form of manure (Man).6,7

38

Therein, plenty of the manures are used as the raw materials to produce organic

39

fertilizer through composting.8,9 When applied in soil, the heavy metal containing

40

organic fertilizer can introduce some heavy metal ions to soil, resulting in soil

41

contamination in different degrees. Subsequently, the heavy metal ions tend to be

42

absorbed by crops and then human beings, causing a series of diseases.10-12 Therefore,

43

it is rather important to immobilize the heavy metal ions in manure to lower the

44

harmful effects on environment and human beings.

45

Until now, several materials such as zeolite, lime, bentonite and so on have been

46

used to immobilize heavy metal ions in manure mainly through adsorption and

47

chemical reaction.13-17 Therein, the zeolite was commonly used to remove heavy

48

metal ions from manure through adsorption and separation effects during the

49

composting process, nevertheless this method was difficult to be applied because of

50

its disadvantages of labor-consuming, time-costing, and high cost.13,14 The lime was

51

mainly used to decrease the solubility of some heavy metal ions through chemical

52

reaction, however this approach was only suitable for a few types of heavy metal ions,

53

which greatly hindered its application.15,16 Bentonite possessed a high adsorption

54

efficiency on hydrophilic compounds such as urea, cations such as Cu2+, Cd2+ and so

55

on because of the negative zeta potential of bentonite, while a relatively low

56

adsorption efficiency on heavy metal anions.17,18 Therefore, it is necessary to fabricate

57

a new nanocomposite with high efficiency, low cost, and simple procedure to 3

efficiently immobilize heavy metal ions in manure.

59

Acid soil, a typical low-quality soil all over the world, has negative effects on the

60

growth of crops and can enhance the activity of heavy metal ions.19 Therefore,

61

remediation of acid soil is rather important to decrease the harmful effects of heavy

62

metal ions. In our previous work, attapulgite (Mg,Al)4(Si)8(O,OH,H2O)26·nH2O)

63

(Attp), a kind of rod-shaped nanoclay, was combined with straw ash-based biochar

64

and biosilica (BioSi) and anhydrous sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) with a certain weight

65

ratio (WNa2CO3:WBioSi:WAttp =3:1:2) to obtain an acid soil remediation agent.19-22 The

66

acid soil remediation agent possessed a porous nano-networks structure and a high

67

ability on controlling the migration of hexavalent chromium in soil.19 Herein, acid soil

68

remediation agent, with advantages of low cost and simple preparation procedure, was

69

attempted to be used as an immobilizing agent (Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp) for heavy metal

70

ions in manure, and the effect of Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp on the migration behavior of As

71

and Cu ions was investigated. This work provides a promising approach to control the

72

migration of heavy metal in manure and decrease the contamination risk to

73

environment.

seeds were purchased from Happy Agriculture Co., Ltd. (Jiangsu, China). Soil used in

84

the pot experiments was taken from Dongpu Island (Hefei, China).

85

Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp Preparation. Na2CO3 (3 g), BioSi (1 g), and Attp (2 g)

86

powders were mixed with 5 mL of deionized water evenly. After that, the mixture was

87

dried at 50oC for 24 h and then ground to obtain Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp powders.

88

Preparation of Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp/Man/AsCu. Ca3(AsO4)2 powder (40 mg)

89

and CuSO4·5H2O powder (585 mg) were mixed evenly with 5 g of manure powder to

90

obtain Man/AsCu. Then Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp with a given amount was mixed evenly

91

with 5 g of Man/AsCu to obtain Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp/Man/AsCu. Finally,

92

Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp/Man/AsCu powder was granulated by a BY400 pelletizer

93

(Taizhou Changjiang Medicine Machinary Limited Co., Jiangsu, China) to obtain

94

Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp/Man/AsCu granules with diameter of 2-3 mm.

Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp/Man/AsCu) granules with a given amount was put in 25 mL of

98

deionized water and the resulting system was shaken for 24 h, then the concentrations

99

of As and Cu ions in the supernatant were measured after centrifuging (4500 rpm) for

100

5 minutes. Herein, the optimal Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp/Man/AsCu with a weight ratio of

101

WNa2CO3/BioSi/Attp:WMan/AsCu =0.3 g:5 g was obtained and designated as optimal

102

Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp/Man/AsCu. All experiments were performed in triplicate.

103

Pot Experiments. 340 g of acid soil (pH=4.75) was put in a pot (trapezoidal

104

shape, height of 6.5 cm, width of 7.8 cm (bottom) and 11.3 cm (top), and length of

105

13.4 cm (bottom) and 17.2 cm (top)) and then Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp/Man/AsCu

106

granules with different weight ratios (WNa2CO3/BioSi/Attp:WMan/AsCu =0 g:10 g, 0.4 g:10 g,

107

0.6 g:10 g, and 0.8 g:10 g) were spread on the surface of the acid soil. After that, 60 g 5

108

of acid soil was placed on the top of Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp/Man/AsCu and then forty

109

rice seeds were planted in the acid soil (top layer). Finally, the system was placed in a

110

greenhouse at 20oC, and 50 mL of water was sprayed evenly to the system every day.

111

All experiments were performed in triplicate. Besides, seven such pots were prepared

112

to investigate the release of Na+ from Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp in soil. From the 1st to 7th

113

day, 5 g of acid sand on the top of a pot was transferred to 25 mL of deionized water

114

one by one, and the resulting system was shaken for 24 h. After centrifuging (4500

115

rpm) for 5 minutes, the concentration of Na+ in the supernatant was measured to

116

obtain the release amount of Na+ from Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp in soil.

117

Effect of Optimal Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp/Man/AsCu on the pH of Acid Sand.

118

HCl (80 mL, 0.03 mol/L) was added to 200 g of dry sand (50-100 mesh), and the

119

resulting sand was dried at 50oC overnight to obtain acid sand. Then a certain amount

120

of acid sand was put in polyvinyl chloride tubes in lateral and vertical directions

121

respectively, and optimal Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp/Man/AsCu granules with a given

122

amount was placed as a layer on the left (lateral column) or top (vertical column) of

123

the sand column. Then a filter paper was placed on the left (lateral column) or top

124

(vertical column) of the sand column. A certain amount of deionized water was added

125

to the left (lateral column) or top (vertical column) of the filter paper. After 24 h, 5 g

126

of

127

Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp/Man/AsCu layer was transferred to 25 mL of deionized water

128

respectively, and the resulting system was shaken for 24 h. After centrifuging (4500

129

rpm) for 5 minutes, the pH of the supernatant was measured to obtain the effect of

134

analyses were conducted on a TTR-III X-ray diffractometer (XRD) (Rigaku Co.,

135

Japan) and a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer (iS10, Nicolet Co., USA).

136

The thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) were

137

carried out by a thermogravimetric analyzer (Q5000IR, TA Co., USA). The contents

138

of As, Cu and Na ions were measured by an inductively coupled plasma-optical

emission spectrometer ((ICP-AES) (ICAP7200, Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA)).

Statistical Analyses. The data are presented as the mean ± standard error of the

142

and Na, and pH value were analyzed under different treatments. Statistical analyses of

143

the As and Cu release in aqueous solution, and pH value of aqueous solution were

144

performed using one-way ANOVA with significant differences at p 0.3 g) with the increase of Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp amount

194

(Figure 2G and I). As for Cu, Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp/Man/AsCu could efficiently

195

decrease the amounts of Cu element in these three parts of rices, and the amounts

196

decreased with the increase of Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp amount (Figure 2H and J).

197

Noteworthily, the As and Cu amounts in rices displayed the similar trends to their

198

release behaviors in aqueous solution respectively (Figure 1A and B), indicating that

199

the release of As and Cu ions had a significant influence on their uptake by rices.

200

Interestingly, the As and Cu amounts in rice roots were greatly higher compared with

201

those in the stems and leaves, indicating that As and Cu elements tended to

202

accumulate in rice roots other than stems and leaves. The pot experiment

203

demonstrated that Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp could effectively decrease the uptake of As and

204

Cu

205

Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp/Man/AsCu was also obtained at WNa2CO3/BioSi/Attp:WMan/AsCu of 0.3

investigated. As shown in Figure S1, the release amount of Na+ in soil was

209

the release amount of Na+ increased rather slowly with time, proving the relatively

high stability of Na+ in Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp.

211

Effect of Optimal Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp/Man/AsCu on the pH of Acid Sand.

212

Additionally, the effect of optimal Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp/Man/AsCu on pH of acid sand,

213

as simulated acid soil, in both lateral (Figure 3A and B) and vertical (Figure 3C and D)

214

directions was investigated. It was found that the pH of acid sand decreased gradually

215

from approximately 8.0 and 8.7 (in distance of 0 cm) to 5.9 and 5.8 (in distance of 12

216

cm) with the increasing distances from the optimal Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp/Man/AsCu

217

layer in lateral and vertical directions respectively. Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp contains

218

Na2CO3 and thus displays an alkaline property because of the reaction (2). With the

219

increase of distance away from Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp, the concentration of -CO32- in soil

220

decreases, resulting in the decreased pH of soil. This result indicated that, under the

Immobilization of As and Cu Ions. In order to reveal the mechanism of optimal

227

Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp/Man/AsCu on the immobilization of As and Cu ions, the

228

morphology of optimal Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp/Man/AsCu system was observed. As

229

shown in Figure 4A, Attp with elementary unit of nano rod can easily aggregate to

230

form plenty of bunches attributed to the nano scale effect. These Attp rods connected

231

and crosslinked with each other to obtain plenty of micro-nano pores, favoring the

232

adsorption of Na2CO3 (noted by arrow II). At the same time, the adsorbed Na2CO3 10

233

could probably endow Attp a higher zeta potential (absolute value) and thus a better

234

dispersion. As a result, the isolated irregular Attp rods (noted by arrow I) could

235

crosslink with each other to form micro/nano network-structured Attp/Na2CO3 (Figure

236

4B and b). When combined with BioSi having micro pores, the Attp and Attp/Na2CO3

237

could be immobilized in the micro pores of BioSi to form Attp/BioSi (Figure 4C) and

238

Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp (Figure 4D). When added to Man/AsCu, the network-structured

239

Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp could load Man/AsCu (Figure 4E) in the micro/nano pores of

240

Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp to form optimal Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp/Man/AsCu (Figure 4F),

241

which was favorable to adsorb As and Cu ions in the networks through chemical

242

reaction (1) and electrostatic attraction and control their release.

243

Additionally, TG analysis was conducted to evaluate the actual weight ratio and

244

thermal

of

245

Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp/Man/AsCu. As shown in Figure 5A, the characteristic DTA peak

246

(89°C) of Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp mainly corresponded to the loss of water. As shown in

247

Figure 5B, the characteristic DTA peak (288°C) was probably attributed to the loss of

248

water and organic matter in Man/AsCu, and the peak (461°C) was corresponding to

249

the degradation of organic matter. Figure 5C illustrated that the peak (89°C) of

250

Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp and the peaks (288 and 461°C) of Man/AsCu could be found in

251

the DTA spectrum of optimal Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp/Man/AsCu, suggesting the

252

successful incorporation of Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp and Man/AsCu. Meanwhile, the

258

shown in Figure 5D, optimal Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp/Man/AsCu and Man/AsCu

possessed similar XRD patterns approximately, attributing to the high content of

peaks (3412 and 1423 cm-1) of Man/AsCu red-shifted to 3370 and 1420 cm-1, and the

The practical application of this technology was shown in Figure 6. The optimal

271

Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp/Man/AsCu granules were spread evenly onto the surface of acid

272

soil field. Afterward, the soil was ploughed by a tractor-pulled plow to make the

273

optimal Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp/Man/AsCu locate in the soil about 20 cm deep from the

274

soil surface. As a result, the optimal Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp/Man/AsCu could promote

275

the growth of rices in acid soil and decrease the accumulation amounts of As and Cu

276

in rices. This technology could effectively decrease the pollution of Man/AsCu and

277

remediate acid soil, and has a promising application prospect.

278

In summary, this work describes a facile approach of immobilizing As and Cu

279

ions in Man/AsCu using a nanocomposite named Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp. When added to

280

Man/AsCu, Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp with a porous nano-networks structure could

281

efficiently control the release of As and Cu ions from Man/AsCu through chemical

282

reaction and adsorption. Besides, Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp could efficiently increase the pH 12

value of acid soil and decrease the solubility of As ions. Na2CO3/BioSi/Attp could

284

promote the growth of rices and significantly decrease the uptake of As and Cu ions

285

by rices. Therefore, this technology could effectively reduce the negative effect of

286

Man/AsCu on environment and crops and might have a huge application prospect.
