Recently, the Remediation of Degraded and Contaminated Farmland Team from the Institute of Environment and Sustainable Development in Agriculture, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, revealed that the combined application of sepiolite-supported nanoscale zero-valent iron (S-nZVI) and pig manure (PM) can effectively reduce cadmium and arsenic content in rice and improve soil quality at the same time. The related research findings have been published in the Environmental Technology & Innovation.

The safe utilization of rice fields contaminated by cadmium and arsenic is a key focus in the management of agricultural soil heavy metal pollution. Research indicates that iron-based materials can be used for effective in-situ remediation of rice fields contaminated by cadmium and arsenic. However, the impact of these materials on soil quality while achieving cadmium and arsenic fixation remains unclear.

This study investigated the effects of combined application of S-nZVI and different organic amendments on Cd and As content in various rice tissues and soil quality. The results demonstrated that the combined application of S-nZVI and PM significantly reduced Cd (78.95%) and As (68.69%) content in rice grains, bringing both below the Chinese food safety standard (0.2 mg·kg⁻¹). The application of S-nZVIcan increase soil pH and effectively immobilize arsenic and cadmium in the soil byincreasing the content of amorphous iron oxide and providing arsenic-cadmium complexation sites. Furthermore, the combined application of S-nZVI and PM can significantly enhance functional enzyme activity, increase bacterial community diversity, and promote rice yield. However, the combined application of S-nZVI and rice straw (RS) can lead to arsenic methylation in the rice field soil, increasing the total arsenic and organic arsenic content in the rice. Therefore, caution is advised when applying S-nZVI+RS in As-contaminated rice fields. This study provides theoretical support for the safe utilization of Cd- and As-co-contaminated rice fields, contributing to ensuring the quality and safety of agricultural products and improving the health of cultivated soil.
