Geochemical properties, heavy metals and soil microbial community during revegetation process in a production Pb-Zn tailings. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 463:132809. [PMID: 37898087 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.132809] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2023] [Revised: 10/05/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 10/30/2023]
Abstract
Lead-zinc (Pb-Zn) tailings pose a significant environmental threat from heavy metals (HMs) contamination. Revegetation is considered as a green path for HM remediation. However, the interplay between HM transport processes and soil microbial community in Pb-Zn tailings (especially those in production) remain unclear. This study investigated the spatial distribution of HMs as well as the crucial roles of the soil microbial community (i.e., structure, richness, and diversity) during a three-year revegetation of production Pb-Zn tailings in northern Guangdong province, China. Prolonged tailings stockpiling exacerbated Pb contamination, elevating concentrations (from 10.11 to 11.53 g/kg) in long-term weathering. However, revegetation effectively alleviated Pb, reducing its concentrations of 9.81 g/kg. Through 16 S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, the dominant genera shifted from Weissella (44%) to Thiobacillus (17%) and then to Pseudomonas (comprising 44% of the sequences) during the revegetation process. The structural equation model suggested that Pseudomonas, with its potential to transform bioavailable Pb into a more stable form, emerged as a potential Pb remediator. This study provides essential evidence of HMs contamination and microbial community dynamics during Pb-Zn tailings revegetation, contributing to the development of sustainable microbial technologies for tailings management.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2023; 338:122667. [PMID: 37783414 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122667] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2023] [Revised: 09/11/2023] [Accepted: 09/29/2023] [Indexed: 10/04/2023]
Abstract
The health risks of lead-zinc (Pb-Zn) tailings from heavy metal (HMs) contamination have been gaining increasing public concern. The dispersal of HMs from tailings poses a substantial threat to ecosystems. Therefore, studying the mechanisms of migration and transformation of HMs in Pb-Zn tailings has significant ecological and environmental significance. Initially, this study encapsulated the distribution and contamination status of Pb-Zn tailings in China. Subsequently, we comprehensively scrutinized the mechanisms governing the migration and transformation of HMs in the Pb-Zn tailings from a geochemical perspective. This examination reveals the intricate interplay between various biotic and abiotic constituents, including environmental factors (EFs), characteristic minerals, organic flotation reagents (OFRs), and microorganisms within Pb-Zn tailings interact through a series of physical, chemical, and biological processes, leading to the formation of complexes, chelates, and aggregates involving HMs and OFRs. These interactions ultimately influence the migration and transformation of HMs. Finally, we provide an overview of contaminant migration prediction and ecological remediation in Pb-Zn tailings. In this systematic review, we identify several forthcoming research imperatives and methodologies. Specifically, understanding the dynamic mechanisms underlying the migration and transformation of HMs is challenging. These challenges encompass an exploration of the weathering processes of characteristic minerals and their interactions with HMs, the complex interplay between HMs and OFRs in Pb-Zn tailings, the effects of microbial community succession during the storage and remediation of Pb-Zn tailings, and the importance of utilizing process-based models in predicting the fate of HMs, and the potential for microbial remediation of tailings.

Abstract
The present study determined the presence of heavy metals in green sea turtles with and without fibropapillomatosis in Itapirubá and Cassino beaches, southern Brazil. The weight, curved length of the carapace and body index were determined and blood was collected to quantify the concentrations of cadmium, lead and mercury. A total of 51 blood samples were analyzed, being 46 positives for at least one of the metals. There was a greater number of juvenile turtles in Itapirubá, larger in size and weight than those in Cassino. No statistical differences were found between metal concentrations between regions or between turtles with and without fibropapillomatosis. There was no significant correlation between metal concentrations, biometric variables and the presence of fibropapilomatose. Metal concentrations were low in both regions, with the highest concentrations being Cd and the lowest Hg.

Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) are able to interact with diverse contaminants in sediments. However, the impacts of MPs on sediment properties and bacterial community structure in heavy metal-contaminated sediments remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the adsorption of Pb(II) by sediment-MPs mixtures and the effects of different concentration MPs on sediment enzyme activities, DOM fractions, and Pb bioavailability in riverine sediments, and further explored the response of sediment microbial community to Pb in the presence of MPs. The results indicated that the addition of MPs significantly decreased the adsorption amount of Pb(II) by sediments, especially decreased by 12.6% at 10% MPs treatment. Besides, the changes in enzyme activities, DOM fractions exhibited dose-dependent effects of MPs. The higher level of MPs (5% and 10%) tends to transform Pb into more bioavailable fractions in sediments. Also, MPs amendment was observed to alter sediment bacterial community structures, and community differences were evident in the uncontaminated and lead-contaminated sediments. Therein, significant increase of Bacteroidota, Proteobacteria and decrease of Firmicutes abundance in Pb-contaminated sediment at the phylum level were observed. These findings are expected to provide comprehensive information for assessing the combined ecological risks of heavy metals and MPs in riverine sediments.

Preparation of phosphorus-modified biochar for the immobilization of heavy metals in typical lead-zinc contaminated mining soil: Performance, mechanism and microbial community. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 218:114769. [PMID: 36463989 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.114769] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2022] [Revised: 11/04/2022] [Accepted: 11/07/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
The use of modified biochar for the remediation of heavy metal (HM) has received much attention. However, the immobilization mechanism of biochar to multiple HMs and the interaction of different forms of HMs with microorganisms are still unclear. K2HPO4-modified biochar (PBC) was produced and used in a 90-days immobilization experiment with soil collected from a typic lead-zinc (Pb-Zn) mining soil. Incubation experiments showed that PBC enhanced the transformation of Cd, Pb, Zn and Cu from exchangeable (Ex-) and/or carbonate-bound forms (Car-) to organic matter-bound (Or-) and/or residual forms (Re-). After scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (SEM-EDS), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), fourier transform infrared (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis, the mechanisms of HM immobilization by PBC were proposed as precipitation (PO43-, HPO42-, OH- and CO32-), electrostatic attraction, complexation (-COOH, -OH and R-O-H) and the indirect roles of soil parameter variations (pH, moisture and microbial community). Microbial community analysis through high-throughput sequencing showed that PBC reduced bacterial and fungal abundance. However, addition of PBC increased the relative proportions of Proteobacteria by 15.04%-42.99%, Actinobacteria by 4.74%-22.04%, Firmicutes by 0.76%-23.35%, Bacteroidota by 0.16%-12.34%, Mortierellomycota by 4.00%-9.66% and Chytridiomycota by 0.10%-13.7%. Ex-Cd/Pb/Zn, Car-Cd/Zn and Re-Cd/Pb/As were significantly positively (0.001<P≤0.05) correlated with bacterial phyla of Crenarchaeota and Methylomirabilota, and Re-Cu and Ex-/Car-/Fe-Mn oxide-bound (Fe-Mn-)/Or-As were significantly positively correlated (0.001<P≤0.05) with the bacterial phyla of Proteobacteria and Bacteroidota. While Car-Cd/Zn and Re-Pb/As were positively correlated (0.01<P≤0.05) with fungal phyla of Ascomycota, Glomeromycota, Kickxellomycota, Basidiomycota and Mucoromycota. The bacterial network contained more complex interactions than the fungal network, suggesting that bacteria play a larger role in HMs transformation processes. The results indicate that PBC is an effective agent for the remediation of HMs polluted soil in Pb-Zn mining areas.

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution caused by mining activities can be harmful to soil microbiota, which are highly sensitive to heavy metal stress. This study aimed to investigate the response of soil bacterial communities to varying levels of heavy metal pollution in four types of habitats (i.e., tailing, remediation, natural recovery, and undisturbed areas) at an abandoned polymetallic mine by high-throughput 16 S rRNA gene sequencing, and to determine the dominant ecological processes and major factors driving the variations in bacterial community composition. The diversity and composition of bacterial communities varied significantly between soil habitats (p < 0.05). Heterogeneous selection played a crucial role in shaping the difference of bacterial community composition between distinct soil habitats. Redundancy analysis and Pearson correlation analysis revealed that the total contents of Cu and Zn were key factors causing the difference in bacterial community composition in the tailing and remediation areas, whereas bioavailable Mn and Cd, total nitrogen, available nitrogen, soil organic carbon, vegetation coverage, and plant diversity were key factors shaping the soil bacterial structure in the undisturbed and natural recovery areas. These findings provide insights into the distribution patterns of bacterial communities in soil habitats with different levels of heavy metal pollution, and the dominant ecological processes and the corresponding environmental drivers, and expand knowledge in bacterial assembly mechanisms in mining regions.

Abstract
Human activities have given rise to metal contamination in the constituents of mangrove ecosystems, posing a critical threat to sediment microorganisms; hence, it is of great importance to comprehend the effects of metals on the microbial communities in mangrove sediments. This study was the first to explore the response of the bacterial diversity and community structure to nine metals (As, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, V and Zn) and organic matter fractions (including total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN), and total sulfur (TS)) in mangrove wetlands from Zhanjiang, China, using 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing technology and Spearman correlation analysis. The results showed that these nine metals were scattered differently in different mangrove sediments, and the metals and organic matter fractions jointly affected the bacterial communities in the sediments. Several metals displayed significant positive correlations with the abundances of the phylum Bacteroidetes and the genera Actibacter and Sphingobacterium but significant negative correlations with the abundances of two genera Holophaga and Caldithrix. Furthermore, the abundances of the phylum Actinobacteria and many bacterial genera showed significant positive or negative responses to the levels of the three organic matter fractions. Interestingly, the levels of a number of bacterial genera that exhibited increased abundance with high levels of metals and TS might be reduced with high TOC and TN, and vice versa: the levels of genera that exhibited decreased abundance with high levels of metals and TS might be increased with high TOC and TN. Overall, many bacterial groups showed different response patterns to each metal or organic matter fraction, and these metals together with organic matter fractions influenced the bacterial diversity and community structure in mangrove sediments.

Abstract
Benzisothiazolinones (1, 2-benzisothiazoline-3-one; BIT) is widely used to control bacterial and fungal diseases of various crops, and their residues in soil may play an important role in the interaction between soil microorganisms. We studied microbial remediation in five representative soils under different soil conditions (unsterilized, sterilized and flooded) using 16S rRNA gene sequencing to investigate the effect of microorganisms on the degradation of BIT residues in soils to minimize the potentially toxic effects of BIT. High-throughput sequencing data showed that the structure and abundance of bacterial communities in BIT soils changed greatly, which might affect their degradation pathways, while Principal Coordinates Analysis (PCoA) results showed that there was no significant difference in the fungal community in different treatments of the five soils, but the degradation rate of BIT was more influenced by anaerobic microorganisms. Furthermore, Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Actinobacteria, and Acidobacteria were the predominant bacterial phyla, accounting for 93.74% of all OTUs, which played an important role in the degradation of BIT. Lysinibacillus had a high relative abundance (21.10%) under flooded treatment conditions in Jilin soil, and its bioremediation may be a reason for the rapid degradation of BIT in flooded treatment. Besides, only soil organic matter (SOM) and pH among the soil properties had significant effects on the microbial community. Based on the further analysis of bacterial phenotype, some microorganisms related to the biodegradation of BIT were found, mainly belonging to Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes. This study provides a useful theoretical basis for the biodegradation of BIT using isolated microorganisms.
