A novel type of NH2-functionalized carbon-coated Fe3O4 core-shell nanoparticles (Fe3O4@C-NH2) soil remediation agent was prepared. The effects of the Fe3O4@C-NH2 application rate, pH, water content, soil conductivity, soil organic matter (SOM) and solidification time on the solidification efficiency of cadmium (Cd) in Cd-contaminated soils were investigated. The results showed that the structure of Fe3O4@C-NH2 had a hollow core-shell, the carbon shell was well dispersed, the -NH2 bonding was obvious and the adsorption of Fe3O4@C-NH2 to Cd2+ in water quickly reached equilibrium within 20 min, with a saturated adsorption capacity of 78.83 mg.g-1. The Fe3O4@C-NH2 application rate and soil organic matter (SOM) had a great influence on solidification efficiency. SOM mainly affected the transition from weak acidity to reducible and oxidizable state, while solidification time affected the transition from oxidizable state to residual state. The optimal conditions for Fe3O4@C-NH2 solidification of Cd are: application rate of 3%-4% (3.3%), pH of 6-10 (7.33), moisture content of 40%-60% (50%), conductivity of 90-400 µS.cm-1 (142.6 µS.cm-1), SOM of 45.00-65.00 g.kg-1 (63.04 g.kg-1) and solidification time of no less than 10 days. Under the optimal conditions, the solidification efficiency of Fe3O4@C-NH2 for Cd was 42.95±1.89%, which significantly reduced the leaching and migration of Cd and achieved the goal of remediation.
