Mining and smelting of mineral resources causes excessive accumulation of potentially toxic metals (PTMs) in surrounding soils. Here, biochar-based sulfidated nanoscale zero-valent iron (SNZVI/BC) was designed via a one-step liquid phase reduction method to immobilize cadmium (Cd) and zinc (Zn) in a copolluted arable soil. A 60 d soil incubation experiment revealed that Cd and Zn immobilization efficiency by 6 % SNZVI/BC (25.2-26.2 %) was higher than those by individual SNZVI (13.9-18.0 %) or biochar (14.0-19.3 %) based on the changes in diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA)-extractable PTM concentrations in soils, exhibiting a synergistic effect. Cd or Zn replaced isomorphously Fe in amorphous ferrous sulfide, as revealed by XRD, XPS, and high-resolution TEM-EDS, forming metal sulfide precipitates and thus immobilizing PTMs. PTM immobilization was further enhanced by adsorption by biochar and oxidation products (Fe O and Fe O ) of SNZVI via precipitation and surface complexation. SNZVI/BC also increased the concentration of dissolved organic carbon and soil pH, thus stimulating the abundances of beneficial bacteria, i.e., Bacilli, Clostridia, and Desulfuromonadia. These functional bacteria further facilitated microbial Fe(III) reduction, production of ammonium and available potassium, and immobilization of PTMs in soils. The predicted function of the soil microbial community was improved after supplementation with SNZVI/BC. Overall, SNZVI/BC could be a promising functional material that not only immobilized PTMs but also enhanced available nutrients in cocontaminated soils.
