摘要/Abstract

摘要： Organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) are a set of toxic persistent organic pollutants (POPs) present in the environment. Recently, biochar-mediated bioremediation has exhibited many advantages over conventional methods for the remediation of pesticide-contaminated soil. In the present study, biochar and nitrogen fertilizer (NH₄NO₃) were employed to remediate OPP-contaminated soil and the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission during 90 days of incubation was investigated. After thermal desorption treatment, the content of organophosphorus pesticides reduced from 175.61 μg·kg^-1 to 62.68 μg·kg^-1. The addition of NH₄NO₃ in the following bioremediation led to larger reduction (34.35%) of the pesticide concentration than that of biochar (31.90%) for the contaminated soils with thermal desorption treatment, while the simultaneous addition of biochar and NH₄NO₃ led to the largest reduction of pesticide concentration (11.07%) for the soil without thermal desorption treatment. The addition of biochar and NH₄NO₃ only slightly increased the emission rate of GHGs from the soil without thermal treatment, but remarkably increased the emission rate of GHGs from the soil after thermal treatment. In most cases, the addition of NH₄NO₃ is more effective than biochar to promote the degradation of pesticide, but also exhibited higher GHG emission. The microbial community analysis suggests that the enhanced degradation of pesticide is mainly owing to the increased activity of microorganism.
