Combined microbe-plant remediation of cadmium in saline-alkali soil assisted by fungal mycelium-derived biochar

Zirun Zhao, Lin Liu, Ying Sun, Liling Xie, Shuo Liu, Mingchun Li, Qilin Yu

Summary: In this study, fungus-derived biochar was used to enhance the microbe-plant remediation of cadmium-contaminated saline-alkali soil. The biochar significantly altered the rhizosphere microbiome and increased the colonization of salt-tolerant bacteria on plant roots. The combination of biochar and bacteria also improved the activity of rhizosphere enzymes, protected plants, and promoted cadmium transport. This suggests that fungus-derived biochar can effectively remove cadmium in saline-alkali soil.

Metals recovery from polymetallic sulfide tailings by bioleaching functional bacteria isolated with the improved 9K agar: Comparison between one-step and two-step processes

Muqiu Hu, Xin Zhao, Jinghan Gu, Lulu Qian, Zhiqing Wang, Yuanyuan Nie, Xiaoyu Han, Long An, Haiqiang Jiang

Summary: Due to its simple process, environmental friendliness, and low operating costs, biometallurgy has become a popular technology for metals recovering from low-grade ores and tailings. An optimized agar was used to isolate and grow functional bacteria, resulting in the successful isolation of six functional stains. These strains were further tested for their ability to leach metals from polymetallic sulfide tailings, with significant improvements observed when the strains were mixed together. The selection of leaching process should be based on tailings composition and target metals.

A remote sensing-based strategy for mapping potentially toxic elements of soils: Temporal-spatial-spectral covariates combined with random forest

Xibo Xu, Zeqiang Wang, Xiaoning Song, Wenjie Zhan, Shuting Yang

Summary: The selection of predictor variables is crucial in building a digital mapping model for potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in soil. Traditionally, spatial and spectral parameters have been used as predictor variables, but the temporal dimension is often overlooked. This study demonstrates the value of incorporating temporal indices in the model, leading to significant performance improvements. The temporal-spatial-spectral covariate combinations used in a random forest (RF) algorithm achieve satisfactory mapping accuracy and outperform other methods.
