摘要： The mechanism of Cr(VI) immobilization in soils by organic substances are not well understood. In the present study, two crop residues (maize stalk and peanut shell) and their biochars obtained at various pyrolysis temperatures were prepared to investigate their influences on the immobilization of Cr(VI) in two contaminated soils via an incubation test and a bioassay. The results showed that Cr(VI) immobilization in soils was ascribed to dominant reduction (52-99%) coupled with secondary surface adsorption (1.2-48%) by organic substances. The maximum reduction capacity (Y-m, 238 mg/kg) was found in an acidic brown soil with maize stalk amendment, secondly, with peanut shell amendment (Y-m, 231 mg/kg). Their biochars presented a weaker capacity in reducing Cr(VI) to Cr(III) of soils than raw crop residues since carbonization accelerated the decomposition of oxygen-containing functional groups of organic substances. Soil properties, mainly soil pH, were negatively related to Cr(VI) reduction in soils remarkably, while concomitant anions in soils mainly the phosphate could compete with Cr(VI) for surfaces of soil particles and decrease Cr(VI) adsorption and subsequent reduction. The bioassay in pots with wheat seedlings further validated that maize stalk was a better organic substance for Cr(VI) immobilization and subsequent decrease of its bioavailability in contaminated soils than its biochar according to the results of wheat biomass and Cr contents in shoots and roots. Accordingly, to develop a cost-effective method for immobilizing Cr(VI) in contaminated soils, the raw maize stalk is more advantageous than the carbonaceous counterparts because no pyrolysis is required for the application.
