Properly increasing mobility of heavy metals could promote phytoremediation of contaminated soil. Fe₁₋ₓS/biochar was successfully prepared from sawdust with loading pyrrhotite (Fe₁₋ₓS) at a pyrolysis temperature of 550 °C. Thiobacillus were successfully adsorbed and enriched on the surface of Fe₁₋ₓS/biochar. Microbial growth for 36 d supported by bio-oxidization of Fe₁₋ₓS decreased the system pH from 4.32 to 3.50, increased the ORP from 298 to 487 mV, and the Fe³⁺ release reached 25.48 mg/g, enhancing the oxidation and leaching of soil Pb. Finally, Fe₁₋ₓS/biochar and Thiobacillus were simultaneously applied into Pb-contaminated soil for 60 d, the soil pH decreased from 7.83 to 6.72, and the exchangeable fraction of soil Pb increased from 22.86% to 37.19%. Ryegrass planting for 60 d in Pb-contaminated soil with Fe₁₋ₓS/biochar and Thiobacillus showed that the Pb content in shoot and root of ryegrass increased by 55.65% and 73.43%, respectively, confirming an obvious increase of phytoavailability of soil Pb. The relative abundance of Thiobacillus in remediated soil significantly increased from 0.06% to 34.55% due to the addition of Fe₁₋ₓS/biochar and Thiobacillus. This study provides a novel approach for regulating the Pb phytoavailability for phytoremediation of Pb-contaminated soil.
