| Abstract | A laboratory experiment was conducted to study the influence of biochar on the residues of chlorobenzenes (CBs) in soil. Two treatments as the control and the addition of 1% wheat straw biochar were designed. Three chemical extractions as butanol, HPCD and Tenax extractions and earthworm accumulation were used to assess the changes of the bioavailability of CBs in soil. The results showed that the residues of HCB, PeCB and 1,2,4,5-TeCB in the control were 29.87%, 18.02% and 5.16% after 4 months incubation, however, the residues of HCB, PeCB and 1,2,4,5-TeCB in biochar amended soil were 68.25%, 61.32% and 58.02%, respectively, indicating that biochar amendment would inhibit the dissipation of CBs in soil. Butanol, HPCD and Tenax extraction as well as earthworm accumulation results demonstrated that the bioavailability of CBs in soil was significantly affected by biochar amendment (P < 0.05). With aging time increase, the biochar amendment significantly lowered the bioavailability of CBs. The extraction ratios differed among different chemical extraction methods. The extraction ratio was HCB > PeCB > 1,2,4,5-TeCB for butanol and Tenax extraction, while 1,2,4,5-TeCB > PeCB > HCB for HPCD extraction. The bioaccumulation factor of CBs by earthworm was significantly lower in biochar amended soil compared to the control (P < 0.05). This study showed that the biochar could reduce the bioavailability of organic pollutants, however, the high residues of the pollutants in soil showed potential environmental risk. |
