Abstract
Both livestock-manure and livestock-manure-derived biochar have been used to remediate heavy metal-contaminated soil. However, direct comparisons of the heavy metal stabilization efficiency of livestock-manure and EQC-manure-biochar (derived from an equal quantity of corresponding livestock-manure) are limited. In the present study, the effect of livestock-manures and EQC-manure-biochars on soil properties and heavy metal bioavailability and leachability were compared using two contrasting soils (Ferralsols and Fluvisols). The results showed that both the livestock-manures and EQC-manure-biochars significantly changed soil pH, available phosphorus, available potassium, alkaline nitrogen and organic matter content (p < 0.05), but the trends were variable. In Ferralsols, the DTPA-extractable Cd and Zn decreased by -0.38%~5.70% and − 3.79%~9.98% with livestock-manure application and by -7.99%~7.23% and − 5.67%~7.17% with EQC-manure-biochars application. In Fluvisols, the DTPA-extractable Cd and Zn decreased by 13.39%~17.41% and − 45.26%~14.24% with livestock-manure application and by 10.76%~16.90% and − 36.38%~16.37% with EQC-manure-biochar application. Furthermore, the change in TCLP-extractable Cd and Zn in both soils was similar to that of DTPA-extractable Cd and Zn. Notably, the Cd and Zn stabilization efficiency of the EQC-manure-biochars was no better than that of the corresponding livestock-manures. These results suggest that the use of livestock-manure-derived biochar is not cost-effective for the remediation of heavy metal-contaminated soil.
