| Zusammenfassung: | The availability and phytotoxicity of heavy metals in sewage sludge is the key restrictive factor that limits sludge application. In this study, municipal sewage sludge was stabilized by alkaline slag or coal fly ash, then the leaching characteristic and fraction distributions of Cu, Cd, Pb and Zn were studied, and their effects on seed germination, root length, and plant accumulating were compared. The results showed that mixed sewage sludge with alkaline slag and coal fly ash decreased the percentage of available heavy metals in sewage sludge. The percentage of exchangeable Cu, Pb, Zn and Cd in stabilized sewage sludge (S1-S4) was 1.50-8.67 times lower than that in SS-only treatment. Leachate Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn from stabilized SS was much lower than the limit threshold. The addition of alkaline materials to SS reduced the inhibitory effect on seed germination and root growth. Pearson's correlation analysis indicated that there was a significant negative correlation between pH and available heavy metals, while a significant positive correlation between the percentage of exchangeable fraction of heavy metals, the leaching potential, tissue concentration and accumulation of heavy metal and toxicity for seed germination was observed |
