wherein the composite adsorbent is a mixture of Fe 3 O 4 , attapulgite, sepiolite and FePO 4 in a mass ratio of 0.8-1:1-1.4:0.5-0.7:0.8-1,
wherein Fe 3 O 4 has a particle size of 0.05-0.5 mm, and the attapulgite has a specific gravity of 2.05-2.32 and a particle size of 0.1-0.5 mm.
2. The remediation material for heavy-metal chromium contaminated soil according to claim 1 , wherein the remediation material for heavy-metal chromium contaminated soil has a particle size of 0.3-1 mm and a porosity of 30-38%.
3. The remediation material for heavy-metal chromium contaminated soil according to claim 1 , wherein the stable curable adhesive is a mixture of cement, fine sand and sodium alginate in a mass ratio of 1:0.1-0.3:0.6-1.2.
4. A method of preparing the remediation material for heavy-metal chromium contaminated soil according to claim 1 , comprising steps of:
1) uniformly mixing cement, fine sand, and sodium alginate in a mass ratio of 1:0.1-0.3:0.6-1.2 in a dry environment so as to form a stable curable adhesive;
2) grinding Fe 3 O 4 , attapulgite, sepiolite and FePO 4 in a mass ratio of 0.8-1:1-1.4:0.5-0.7:0.8-1 so as to form a composite adsorbent, wherein Fe 3 O 4 has a particle size of 0.05-0.5 mm, and the attapulgite has a specific gravity of 2.05-2.32 and a particle size of 0.1-0.5 mm; and
3) pelleting with 10-30% by weight of stable curable adhesive, 30-40% by weight of composite adsorbent, and water in balance, and naturally drying so as to obtain the remediation material for heavy-metal chromium contaminated soil.
5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the composite adsorbent in step 2) is ground in a planetary ball mill having a rotation speed of 400 r·min −1 and running alternately in forward and reverse directions every 60 minutes for total 15-20 h.
6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the pelleting in step 3) is performed by a pelletizer.
7. A method of removing heavy metal chromium from soil using the remediation material for heavy metal chromium contaminated soil according to claim 1 , comprising:
excavating soil of a heavy chromium contaminated site and mixing it with the remediation material for heavy-metal chromium contaminated soil uniformly, desorbing and removing chromium from soil particles under the absorption of the composite adsorbent, placing the stirred and mixed soil on an inclined magnetic absorption plate, absorbing the remediation material for heavy-metal chromium contaminated soil onto the magnetic absorption plate for recycle, or
adding the remediating material for heavy-metal chromium contaminated soil to low contaminated farmland, flood irrigating the farmland and retaining water therein, plowing soil continuously using a cultivator, and finally mounting a magnetic absorption plate on the cultivator to absorb the material in the soil for removing heavy metal.
