Abstract:The effect of intermittent stirring on the remediation of Cr(VI)-containing soil via digestate coupled with ferrous sulfate was investigated. Speciation changes of chromium (Cr),sulfur (S) and iron (Fe), during the process were examined through X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). Finally, complemented by microbial community analysis, the mechanism was elucidated. The results indicated that intermittent stirring significantly accelerated the reaction compared to static incubation. Non-detectable Cr(VI) in soil with initial Cr(VI) content of 3000mg/kg could be achieved within 2 days. The sulfate reduction was higher under intermittent stirring, accompanied with an increase of S2- content. Microbial community analysis showed that Cr(VI)-tolerant bacteria was activated after intermittent stirring treatment with a higher relative abundance of chromium-reducing and sulfate-reducing bacteria. Overall, intermittent stirring enhances Cr(VI) reduction efficiency, promoted sulfate reduction, and positively impacts microbial community structure, offering a promising approach for the low-carbon and efficient treatment of Cr(VI)-contaminated sites.
