Aging is an important natural process affecting the physiochemical properties of biochar, while mechanistic understanding of its effect on the adsorbed heavy metals is still lacking. After adsorption of Cd²⁺ and Pb²⁺, biochars produced from wheat straw (WS) and maize straw (MS) at 300 and 500 °C (denoted as WS300, WS500, MS300, and MS500, respectively) were subjected to 60 cycles of wet–dry or freeze–thaw aging. The results showed that simulated aging treatment transformed the Cd²⁺ and Pb²⁺ adsorbed on the low-temperature biochars from the readily and potentially bioavailable fractions into the non-bioavailable one, while the fractionation of Cd²⁺ and Pb²⁺ adsorbed on WS500 and Pb²⁺ on MS500 barely changed. Spectroscopic characterization revealed that simulated aging enhanced the complexation of Cd²⁺ and precipitation of Pb²⁺ on the biochars. These findings suggest that heavy metals could be effectively immobilized on low-temperature biochars amended to contaminated soils in the long term.
