Abstract

In the present study, the integrated use of organic and inorganic amendments (CS–MD–CSP) including carbide slag (CS), calcium superphosphate (CSP) and mushroom dreg (MD) are employed for the stabilization of heavy metals in contaminated soils. A response surface methodology combined with immobilization efficiency was employed to evaluate and optimize the proportion of the integration amendments on the stabilization process. The results predicted by a Box–Behnken design indicated that the maximum immobilization efficiencies of soil Pb, Cu, Zn and Cd could be achieve up to 99.88, 96.11, 99.78 and 87.88%, respectively, when the dosage of CS, CSP and MD were set as 4, 1 and 6%, respectively. European Community Bureau of Reference (BCR) speciation analysis indicated that the acid-soluble proportion of Pb, Cu, Zn and Cd in the soils decreased by 72.68, 37.03, 9.36 and 12.94%, respectively. Thus, this CS–MD–CSP integration amendment could potentially be used for the remediation of Pb, Cu, Zn and Cd in contaminated soils.
