Abstract
Biochar was a kind of restoration material for soil pollution. Investigation about biochar amendment on the Sb transformation in rice plants is scarce. The pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the impact of biochar on the iron plaque formation in Sb-contaminated soil, and the translocation and accumulation of Sb in rice seedings. After the straw and husk biochar amendments (5% by weight), the levels increased on average by 20.0% and 16.0% for exchangeable Sb in soil, and by 233.3% and 74.8% for soluble Sb in pore water, respectively; but the residual fractions of Sb decreased by 18.5% and 15.1%. The iron plaque formation on rice root surface was enhanced, but its sequestration capacity for Sb decreased due to increasing competition for binding sites led by the elevated phosphorus and silicon levels in pore water after biochar application. The shoot Sb content sharply increased by 215.8% upon straw biochar application.
