Abstract
Bioconversion of agricultural waste by Protaetia brevitarsis larvae (PBL) holds significant promise for producing high-quality frass organic amendments. However, the effects and mechanisms of PBL frass on Cd immobilization in an alkaline environment remain poorly understood. In this study, three types of frass, namely maize straw frass (MF), rice straw frass (RF), and sawdust frass (SF), were produced by feeding PBL. The Cd immobilization efficiencies of three frass in alkaline solutions and soils were investigated through batch sorption and incubation experiments, and spectroscopic techniques were employed to elucidate the sorption mechanisms of Cd onto different frass at the molecular level. The results showed that MF proved to be an efficient sorbent for Cd in alkaline solutions (176.67-227.27 mg g-1). X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy indicated that Cd immobilization in frass is primarily attributed to the association with organic matter (OM-Cd, 78-90%). And MF had more oxygen-containing functional groups than the other frass. In weakly alkaline soils, MF application (0.5-1.5%) significantly decreased Cd bioavailability (5.65-18.48%) and concurrently improved soil nutrients (2.21-56.79%). Redundancy analysis (RDA) unveiled that pH, CEC, and available P were important factors controlling Cd fractions. Path analysis demonstrated that MF application affected Cd bioavailability directly and indirectly by influencing soil chemical properties and nutrients. In summary, MF, the product of PBL-mediated conversion maize straw, demonstrated promise as an effective organic amendment for Cd immobilization and fertility improvement in alkaline soils.

The immobilization of cadmium by rape straw derived biochar in alkaline conditions: Sorption isotherm, molecular binding mechanism, and in-situ remediation of Cd-contaminated soil. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 351:123969.

Abstract
The issue of cadmium (Cd) contamination in alkaline soils is escalating, necessitating the prompt implementation of effective passivation strategies. Biochar has gained significant attention for its potential in immobilizing heavy metals; however, the suitability of biochar as a remediation material and its micro-scale interaction mechanisms with Cd under alkaline conditions remain unclear. Rape straw (RS) were pyrolyzed at 400 °C (RB400) and 700 °C (RB700) to produce biochar. Adsorption and soil incubation experiments were carried out to assess the feasibility of using rape straw derived biochar pyrolyze at different temperatures and understanding their remediation mechanisms in alkaline environments. The sorption capacity for Cd immobilization was evaluated using sorption isotherms, revealing that RB700 exhibited enhanced Cd sorption performance with a maximum sorption capacity of 119.33 mg g-1 calculated from the Langmuir isotherm equation at pH 8. Cd L3-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy analysis confirmed that the dominant sorption species of Cd were organic Cd in RB400, with CdCO3 precipitation increased to 73.9% in RB700. Solid-state 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (13C-NMR) spectroscopy demonstrated that aromatic and carboxyl C functional groups are involved in the organic sorption of Cd through complexation and Cd2+-π interactions in alkaline solutions. The precipitation of CdCO3 in RB700 may resulted in a more effective passivation effect compared to RB400, leading to a significant 15.54% reduction in the DTPA-Cd content in Cd-contaminated soil. These findings highlight the effective Cd passivation Cd in alkaline environments by rape straw derived biochar, providing new molecular insights into the Cd retention mechanism of biochar. Furthermore, it presents novel ideas for improving remediation approaches for alkaline Cd-contaminated soils.

Abstract
Phosphorus (P) is an essential element for life on Earth, with an important and oftentimes unaccounted organic biogeochemical component. Current methods for the quantification of different organic P compounds in environmental samples (e.g., soils, sediments) are based on extraction techniques and often associated with incomplete P recovery or sample changes. In this study, we present a protocol for the quantification of different organic and inorganic P species in soils using synchrotron-based X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy at the P L2,3-edge. Its accuracy and precision was evaluated by analyzing 40 standard mixtures composed of seven different inorganic and organic P compounds (with a mean of R2 = 0.85). In addition, we quantified the P species of two soils and two agro-industrial byproducts using P L2,3-edge XANES spectroscopy and the results were compared with those obtained by P K-edge XANES or 31P NMR spectroscopy. Using the P L2,3-edge, we identified different organic P species, including those not identified by the common P K-edge XANES. However, there is a consistent underestimation of organic polyphosphates. Overall, the application of P L2,3-edge XANES provides a higher level of information than by P K-edge XANES, although the ubiquitous use of this novel methodology is still limited to samples with a phosphorus content above 3 mg g-1.

Abstract
Cattle-derived biochar (CB), which is derived from industrial pyrolysis of cattle carcasses in harmless treatment plants, is a naturally occurring mineral form of carbonate-bearing hydroxyapatite (CHAP) with a small amount of elemental carbon. CB has 4.02% of carbonate content, which falls under the B-type substitution of CHAP. In this work, the Cd(II) sorption capacity of CB was determined to be 0.82 mmol/g, with 97.6% of the Cd(II) uptake contributing to CHAP and only 2.36% of the Cd(II) uptake contributing to the elemental carbon component. The calculation and linear combination fitting (LCF) of Cd L3-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) analysis indicated that the contributions of Cd(II) species to CB presented the following order: ion exchange (57.6%-61.0%) > precipitation (24.4%-29.9%) > surface complexation (12.5%-13.4%). The depth dependent X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed the presence of ion exchange, which is accompanied by intraparticle diffusion. LCF of XANES and Rietveld analysis of X-ray diffraction (XRD) demonstrated that Cd(II) was precipitated in the form of Cd5H2(PO4)4·4H2O on the CB surface. Furthermore, the precipitate was directly observed and identified by scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). Consequently, we revealed the intricate binding mechanism of Cd(II) to CHAP-rich CB and confirmed the importance of surface precipitation.

Abstract
Chemical speciation of soil cadmium (Cd) dictates its mobility and potential toxicity in the environment. Our objective was to compare temporal changes in speciation of Cd(II) reacted with samples from six Brazilian soils having varying Cd(II) sorption capacities. Cadmium L-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) analysis showed there were short-term changes in speciation after reaction with 4.45 mmol Cd kg for 0.5 and 6 h. Chemical fractionation evaluated changes in Cd extractability after reaction with 89 μmol Cd kg for up to 4 mo. The XANES spectral fits suggested that Cd(II) bound with organic matter was a dominant species in all samples, along with Cd(II) bound with iron and aluminum oxides or montmorillonite. In several samples, CdCl apparently precipitated from aqueous Cd(II) during drying. The XANES spectral fits typically showed <25% change in speciation between 0.5 and 6 h of reaction, and chemical fractionation showed significant ( < 0.05) temporal changes in Cd extractability over time in two samples. Our results suggest that Cd(II) discharged into these soils, such as that occurring as a release into the environment, would bind with soil organic matter and oxide minerals or remain dissolved, with little change in speciation in the months following release.

Abstract
Phosphorus (P) is an indispensable element for all life on Earth and, during the past decade, concerns about the future of its global supply have stimulated much research on soil P and method development. This review provides an overview of advanced state-of-the-art methods currently used in soil P research. These involve bulk and spatially resolved spectroscopic and spectrometric P speciation methods (1 and 2D NMR, IR, Raman, Q-TOF MS/MS, high resolution-MS, NanoSIMS, XRF, XPS, (µ)XAS) as well as methods for assessing soil P reactions (sorption isotherms, quantum-chemical modeling, microbial biomass P, enzymes activity, DGT, 33P isotopic exchange, 18O isotope ratios). Required experimental set-ups and the potentials and limitations of individual methods present a guide for the selection of most suitable methods or combinations.

Abstract
Soil contamination with Cd from P fertilizer and other anthropogenic and geogenic sources is a serious problem. In situ immobilization by P application to soil is known as an applicable remediation technique leading to reduced Cd uptake by plants, and use of a Cd-free P fertilizer from renewable sources would be most favorable. Bone char (BC) (15% P, 28% Ca, 0.7% Mg) may be used as such a quality P fertilizer, but it is unknown if its dissolution in soil provides sufficient P and immobilizes Cd in moderately contaminated soils. We incubated BC and triple superphosphate (TSP) in 11 soils that contained between 0.3 to 19.6 mg Cd kg and determined the kinetics of P dissolution during a time period of 145 d. The concomitant Cd immobilization was determined by extracting the mobile Cd with 1 mol L NHNO solution. For most soils, BC increased the concentration of labile P immediately after application, reaching a maximum after 34 d, although the solubility was below that of TSP (2.9-19.3 vs. 4.1-24.0%). Among five kinetic models, the Langmuir-type equation provided the best description of P dissolution from BC and TSP. The Cd immobilization resulting from BC dissolution exceeded that of TSP by a factor of 1.4 to 2.7. The P dissolution from BC was negatively correlated with pH and positively with P sorption capacity, whereas Cd immobilization was positively correlated with soil pH. These causal relationships were expressed in multiple equations that enable predictions of P dissolution and Cd immobilization and thus may help to introduce BC as sustainable P fertilizer and useful soil amendment.
