Abstract

This study investigated the effect of typical stabilizers on hydraulic properties, immobilization, and leachate characteristics based on the diffusive gradient thin-films technique (DGT) and a leaching experiment. Three types of stabilizers were classified based on various characteristics of soil field capacity (θf), and their immobilization effects were as follows: (i) θf increased and the immobilization of Cd was achieved with nanohydroxyapatite, increasing θf by 19.36% and decreasing the bioavailable Cd by 78.84%; (ii) the increasing θf conversely inhibited cadmium stabilization. Straw biochar averagely promoted θf by 17.39%, while the stabilization was suppressed; (iii) other stabilizers (zeolite, montmorillonite, and sepiolite) had no significant effect on θf and immobilization. It is suggested that stabilization depends on chemical mechanisms and is probably also affected by hydraulic mechanisms. The first types of stabilizers formed precipitates with poor solubility, and the strong affinity of heavy metals to soil particles can account for that the increasing θf had a negligible influence on the dissolution equilibrium of the heavy metals. Attapulgite also belongs to this type. The second and third types of stabilizers p...Continue Reading
