Article Synopsis
  • Soil heavy metal pollution poses risks to human health and the environment, and traditional remediation methods face challenges due to the lack of fuel in contaminated soil.
  • This study explored using corn straw as a fuel for self-sustaining smoldering combustion (SSS) to remediate copper and lead in contaminated soil, revealing significant changes in soil chemistry and metal oxidation states.
  • While SSS effectively altered the forms of copper and lead in the soil—enhancing adsorption and reducing leachability—it did not decrease their overall content, highlighting the complex mechanisms involved in metal fixation during the treatment.
