The passivation effect of FeO/mulberry pole biochar (Fe-MBC) prepared at different carbonization temperatures on soil available arsenic content was studied through soil culture experiments, and Fe-MBC-800 (prepared by carbonization at 800℃) with good passivation effect was selected and characterized. The effects of 1%-7% (mass fraction of biochar to soil) Fe-MBC-800, MBC-800, and FeO on soil pH value, soil electrical conductivity, soil arsenic form, rice biomass, and total arsenic (As) content in rice were studied using a pot experiment. The results showed that:①Fe-MBC-800 successfully loaded FeO, and its main functional groups were C=O double bond, O-H bond, C-O bond, and Fe-O bond.

The effects of carbonized temperature of Fe-BC and M-BC on dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and arsenic(As) speciation in soil leaching solutions were studied using soil incubation experiments. The results showed that:① Fe-BC was mainly composed of FeO and was magnetic, and the main functional groups were a C=O double bond, O-H bond, C-O bond, and Fe-O bond.
