description The reduction of Cd and Pb accumulation in wheat grains grown on Cd and Pb contaminated alkaline soils is a pressing issue that needs to be solved. In this study, ferromanganese functionalized biochar (FM-BC) was used to remediate Cd and Pb contaminated alkaline soils and mitigate Cd and Pb accumulation in wheat grains. The immobilization capacity and mechanism of FM-BC were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) characterization and chemical analysis. Fe and Mn loaded on FM-BC improved the removal efficiencies of DTPA-Cd and DTPA-Pb in soil with DTPA-Cd removal of 22.99%− 52.04% (JM22) and 25.54%− 53.32 (AK58) and DTPA-Pb removal of 11.39%− 22.36% (JM22) and 5.38%− 13.00% (AK58). The FT-IR and XRD results indicated that the complexation and precipitation of Cd and Pb with the Fe-Mn oxides and the oxygen-containing functional groups on biochar surface stabilized the Cd and Pb in soil for the observation of Cd2Mn3O8, PbHPO4, CdCO3, and PbO2 on FM-BC isolated from contaminated soils. FM-BC with excellent adsorption capacity reduced the available Cd and Pb in the soil, therefore, thereby inhibiting the Cd and Pb accumulation in wheat. In the 3% FM-BC treatment, Cd and Pb contents in wheat grains were lower than 0.10 mg/kg and 0.20 mg/kg, respectively, reaching the national safety standards. And FM-BC increased the Fe, Mn, Na and Zn contents in wheat grains, and improved the growth and yield of wheat. These findings suggest that FM-BC can be considered a prospective and effective material for remediation of alkaline soils contaminated with Cd and Pb.
