ABSTRACT
The utilization of remediating plants is an important factor that restricts phytoremediation. Ramie has
good adsorption capacity for various heavy metals and is widely used in plant remediation. To achieve
the multi-purpose development of heavy metal-contaminated ramie, research has been conducted on the
preparation of biochar for using it as a raw material, and the feasibility of returning the prepared biochar
to the soil has been explored. The results indicate that 300 ℃ is the appropriate pyrolysis temperature for
preparing ramie biochar. Under these conditions, the biochar yield is 42.90 ± 2.29%, significantly higher
than other pyrolysis temperatures, and the arsenic concentration is also lower. Removing arsenic from
ramie biochar is crucial for biochar to return to the soil, and 85.62 ± 1.36% of arsenic can be removed
through three rounds of 300 mM sodium hydroxide extraction. Adding modified biochar to heavy metalcontaminated
soil can increase soil pH and organic matter content but does not significantly increase soil
arsenic content. However, adding modified biochar did not significantly alter soil microbial community
structure. A feasible plan for preparing reusable biochar using contaminated ramie was proposed in this
study. The research results can directly serve the remediation of soil arsenic pollution using ramie and have
reference significance for other plants to carry out heavy metal remediation.
