Lignin is a renewable aromatic polymer which is present in large quantities in the cell walls of terrestrial plants and is the main binding agent for fibrous plant components. Potassium lignosulfonate (KLS), as a by-product of pulping processes, can be applied to agricultural fields as a soil conditioner and chelate fertilizer. In this study, based on its solubility and complexing ability, batch washing and column leaching was explored to evaluate the potential application of KLS in the washing remediation of soil contaminated with lead and copper. Under optimum conditions KLS concentration of 8%, pH of 5.24 and 6 h duration, the removal ratios for the simulated and mining area soils in the batch experiment were 67.40% and 52.87% respectively, for Pb and 73.42% and 55.20% respectively, for Cu. In the column leaching experiment, the removal efficiencies of Pb and Cu increased with solution volume and that the removal ratios of the simulated and mining area soils were 36.46% and 20.31%, respectively, for Pb and 39.74% and 22.76%, respectively, for Cu. KLS can reduce the ratio of acid-soluble and reducible fractions, which may have the most potential hazardous and poisonous for plants. Cation exchange capacity (CEC) and pH of soil were all stable after washing. However, the organic matter and available K, N, and P in the treated soil, which are important factors for plant growth increased significantly. This study showed that KLS can remove Pb and Cu from soil, while improve nutrient (ammonium nitrogen, available phosphorus and available potassium) levels of soil.
