近年来,电镀和采矿等工业活动导致铅(Pb)流入河流并在沉积物中过度富集,对水生生物构成潜在风险。基于此,本研究通过硫化改性和凹凸棒土(ATP)负载制备了凹凸棒土负载硫化纳米零价铁 (S-nZVI@ATP),并首次应用于Pb污染沉积物的修复。全面研究了S-nZVI@ATP对Pb污染沉积物的固定化作用及机理,以及修复过程中微环境的变化。表征分析表明,S-nZVI均匀负载于ATP表面,并成功加载了ATP的特征官能团Al/Mg-OH和Si-O。培养实验表明,S-nZVI@ATP显著降低了沉积物中Pb的有效性和浸出毒性,其固定化效率分别高达94.08%和73.15% (P < 0.05),同时促进了酸溶性Pb向残渣态的转化。这一现象说明S-nZVI@ATP在固定Pb方面表现出优异的性能。沉积物pH升高、Eh降低有利于Pb的固定化。S-nZVI@ATP的加入改变了沉积物细菌群落的结构和组成,以变形菌门、厚壁菌门和拟杆菌门为优势门。除蔗糖酶外,脲酶和过氧化氢酶活性分别提高了1.23倍和2.48倍。相关性分析显示pH、Eh、变形菌和厚壁菌在沉积物中固定铅的重要性。反应后材料的表征表明S-nZVI@ATP对沉积物中Pb的固定作用机制主要有吸附、络合、离子交换、静电吸引、还原和沉淀作用。

1、ATP的负载改善了S-nZVI的分散性,丰富了复合材料表面官能团种类。
2、S-nZVI@ATP显著降低了DTPA-Pb和TCLP-Pb,增加了Pb稳定组分的比例(P < 0.05),从而降低了Pb的迁移率。
3、S-nZVI@ATP显著提高了沉积物pH和OC,降低了Eh (P < 0.05),其中pH的增加和Eh的降低促进了Pb的固定化。
4、ATP、S-nZVI和S-nZVI@ATP的应用均不同程度地影响了沉积物细菌群落的多样性和丰度,变形菌门和厚壁菌门的相对丰度增加,拟杆菌门、酸杆菌门和放线菌门的相对丰度降低。
5、S-nZVI@ATP显著提高了脲酶和过氧化氢酶活性(P < 0.05),且均与DTPA-Pb、TCLP-Pb和Pb的酸溶分数呈极显著负相关(P < 0.01)。
6、通过SEM-EDS、XRD和FTIR对反应后材料进行表征,结果表明S-nZVI@ATP对Pb的固定化主要通过吸附、络合、离子交换、静电吸引、还原和沉淀等作用,固定化产物主要为Pb0、PbS和Pb(OH)2。
